As I spend my last full day in Adelaide, I figured it was time to go back in the vault again. I’ve done Chisel, so there seemed like just one obvious choice: The Angels. Doc Neeson and the boys had so many hits, but I think my favourite has to be “No Secrets.” Long before…

“Buttons” – Sia
After yesterday’s cheesy love song, I figured it was time to reestablish a bit of credibility. And these days they don’t have a lot more cred than Sia. “Buttons” was the first of her songs that came to my attention, largely because of that quirky film clip. The song’s not too bad either!
Congratulations to Luke and Kate!
My apologies to Guy Sebastian. I’m sure this Adelaide resident would rather forget his first single, and that electrified hair. But this song does have some beautiful words, and on this day where I’m witnessing the wedding of my friends Kate and Luke it struck a nerve. Planes probably brought them to Adelaide rather than…
“Gravity” – The Superjesus
“Gravity” by The Superjesus is one of those tracks that takes me back to my angry early twenties. It seems a lifetime ago looking back, but then the crunchy guitar chords and strong vocals of Sarah McLeod definitely hit a nerve. And if I’m honest with you, they still do! Listening to this song it’s…
“Paradise City” – The Audreys
Today I’m setting out and exploring the McLaren Vale. I promise that despite the track I posted yesterday, the wine won’t be “cheap.” I figured such an indulgent day deserved a song that was slow and sensual. Enter “Paradise City” by The Audreys. Enjoy it, but don’t go expecting anything like The Gunners!
I’m Adelaide Bound!
Today I’m getting on a plane bound for Adelaide and taking a very well earned holiday. I could leave you all to your own devices, but I’d much rather give you something to look at while I’m gone. Keeping up with news was always going to be impossible, so I figured I’d treat you to…
Chaingang Take Us On a Holiday
It’s not entirely coincidental that I’m posting the video for “Holiday” from Sydney’s Chaingang today. Tomorrow I’m jetting off for a well-earned break, but rest assured I’ll leave plenty of goodies for you to browse while I’m gone. At any rate, when this song passed my desk the timing seemed too fortuitous to ignore. This…
Big Day Out 2011 Makes First Lineup Announcement
Big Day Out 2011 is shaping up to be a beauty, with the first official line-up announced. We’ve heard the names of Iggy and The Stooges, Tool, and Grinderman leaked, but it’s great to see them as confirmed starters. No Soundgarden as was previously rumoured, but Rammstein, M.I.A, Deftones, and Primal Scream playing their classic…
James McNally Leaves “The X Factor”
It was a sad X Factor night for me as my favourite in the competition, James McNally, left us. Honestly, neither Amanda nor James deserved to be in the bottom two. Andrew, Mitchell, and Altiyan certainly turned in bottom two worthy performances, but this is the problem with relying on a public vote. Both singers…
“Lost in the Moment” – Daniel Lee Kendall
It’s always a struggle to ease myself back into the working week, but it’s something made easier with the accompaniment of good music. This morning I found it in Daniel Lee Kendall’s debut EP Lost in the Moment. This Central Coast based singer-songwriter creates the sort of gentle, easy music that’s so easy to listen…
