I’ve had non-stop bragging from people who made it NIN that it was the best concert ever. I don’t doubt that it was – and that was even before I saw this video of the live NIN show in Sydney. According to ’1,000,000′ Reznor’s robots feel nothing apparently, which seems so obsurd considering how ‘into [...]

Only six episodes in to the second season and it’s clear that any fears I had about their ability to continue the creativity from the first season (both musically, and comedically) have been put to rest. Already, the Wellington twosome have left me in fits of laughter, and amazingly, the music from the second season [...]

It took me a while to come across Bon Iver’s ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’, but like almost everyone, once it got into my head, it’s been impossible to get out. Add to that the wealth of live and rare versions of tracks from the album, and the odds against a decent follow-up start stacking a [...]

Which is fine by me. ‘That’s That’ is the first leaked real single, seeing Doom (he’s dropped the MF, so maybe his new mask is made from [...]

If you caught the last post, you’ll know this track featured early in my half-marathon playlist…for good reason; not only is it a fantastic track, it’s also a great mood setter. Check out the fine video for the very fine highlight from ‘Merriweather Post Pavillion‘. Animal Collective – My Girls

I like to think of running as a hobby as some sort of personal torture. It really is a lot of fun, and I enjoy it, but just when you think you have it all sorted (left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot), you go and try and run too far, and realise that [...]
