Sometimes you’re a music critic but you haven’t written anything in a while, and you wonder if you’re only in the game for the dollar bills and mad pussy but then you finish off a piece you’ve been working on for a while and it’s like “YEAH!” and you throw your hands up and turn Super Saiyan and you smash through the roof and fly into space where Kenny...

David Caruso enters an empty warehouse. Plastic cups litter the floor. The only light streams in through the open doors. It’s the middle of the day and it looks just like any warehouse party post-morning, except for the splatter of blood covering the decks on the stage cordoned off by yellow police tape. It’s the sixth in a string of nightclub attacks, only this is the only time the...

Fuck!
The older I get the less sure I am of ways to confidently, painlessly commit suicide. Remember that scene in Purple Rain where Prince’s Dad takes a bullet to the head? He does not die instantly like I was taught by videogames/action movies! Hanging can leave you suffocating, razors are messy,...

It seems like Pitchfork has been paying a lot more attention to Australian artists lately and I think it’s great, hopefully the net effect will be that Australian artists start really stepping it up. There are a lot of local bands I really like but a little bit because I judge them by Australian standards, which is a whole “smartest kid in the sandpit” thing. It’s nice when...

Yo I do this all the time now ever since you started doing it for me like six months ago.

The other night I was at a bar and I ran into the singer of a band I really like who I’ve met before and he recognised me, which was nice, and we started talking about his music, and I asked him if he ever read his press and he said he did, and later we were talking about his influences (this is the kind of stuff you can only do casually in a bar, don’t ever, EVER ask a band about...

REFLECTING ON REVIEWING YOUR FAVOURITE CLASSIC...
Here’s the links to 52 of your favourite album reviews for the next five minutes.
So that was fun, wasn’t it? When I started soliciting recommendations I’d only been writing album reviews for a few months. Initially I didn’t set out to write 52 album reviews and I didn’t want to set the expectation that that’s what I was doing, because then I was free to do...

52 Albums: #52
Only six months behind schedule.
In the first post of his own listening project, Rob Mitchum introduced Neil Young’s first solo album like this: “Solo debuts are breakup albums, or perhaps more accurately, rebound albums. Freed from whatever creative shackles the artist imagined in their old band, the first step is often riddled with bad decisions, excess, and self-conscious preening...

“Hey Jake, what’s going on in Australia these days?” I hear you ask frequently. Gosh, stop bugging me! Just kidding, I’ll tell you. It looks like of the two major news organisations in the country, the one that isn’t owned by Rupert Murdoch is about to be taken over and restructured by an absurdly wealthy mining baron who’s posited via her cooperators within the...

I cheated. On the home stretch I swapped out My Morning Jacket’s Z for a You Am I record. It’s alright, the Morning Jacket one. I listened to it, it was fine (I didn’t like it) but I had to listen to You Am I and I needed an excuse. I had to listen to You Am I because ever since I saw Tim Rogers on New Years, I’ve been falling in love with him. Easy to do, apparently....

Ever since the Charlie Brooker thing I’ve been really self-conscious about posting good quotes from interviews in case some 14 year old diarist reblogs it with “ughhh this is totally me!!!” because I don’t want to be in any proximity to that shit, frankly, so I’m just going to say that there’s a really good quote in the recent Aaron Sorkin interview with Vulture...
