All too often film clips seem so fake. The vocals are lip-synched, and the footage so staged that it really undermines the heart of the music. So I was thrilled to see Jordie Lane take a very different tact with his new music video for “Annabelle Marie.” The film clip sees Jordie perched atop a…

The X Factor Rocks
The X Factor contestants came out ready to rock at this week’s performance show. Young Men Society kicked things off with their take on the Run DMC and Aerosmith classic “Walk This Way.” These guys have set such a high bar in previous weeks, so I felt a little let down by this. The vocals…
Meat Loaf Performs Train Wreck Medley at AFL Grand Final
The Cats might have taken home the crown, but just as many people are talking about Meat Loaf’s woeful performance at yesterday’s AFL grand final. As a league girl I missed it live, but I really shouldn’t have bothered with an internet search. On paper it looked like a winner. Sports fans have always loved…
The X Factor Parties On
Given my cold, I’m not planning on partying any time soon. Thank goodness for The X Factor who brought a party to my lounge room tonight. And I didn’t even need to change out of my pyjamas! Audio Vixen kicked off proceedings with The Zutons’ “Valerie.” I liked it but I didn’t love it. The…
LHA Release Impressive Hip Hop Debut
Sydney-based hip hoppers LHA have just released their debut album Split Decision. The disc was a real labour of love for the duo made up of Aussie MC Adikkal and Korean born producer LeeHahn. They wrote and produced the entire thing, so you know it’s got their stamp all over it. The twosome takes their…
The X Factor Live Shows Kick Off
With this year’s X Factor live shows kicking off tonight I figured it time I started to blog about the reality singing quest. I’ve caught bits and pieces up until this point, but with the competition heating up I’m starting to get switched on to the action. Once the judges treated us to a medley…
Gotye Makes It Five in a Row
Gotye’s made it five in a row after retaining the top spot on the ARIA Singles Charts again this week. In doing so “Somebody That I Used to Know” has enjoyed the longest stay at the top of any Aussie single since Gabrielle Cilmi clocked up five weeks with “Sweet About Me” in 2001. The…
Neil Finn talks Pajama Club Album
Pajama Club, the self-titled album from Neil Finn and his wife Sharon’s new musical venture, hits stores today. The music we’ve heard is a real departure from the works of Split Enz and Crowded House, and that’s rubbed a few folks up the wrong way. However this video gives us a bit more of an…
Voltaire Twin’s Scary New “Anamalia” Music Video
Perth indie duo Voltaire Twins have released their new single “Anamalia” and its more than a little creepy accompanying film clip. This upbeat melodic electro gem gives us out first taste of the band’s forthcoming second EP Romulus, which is due to hit record store shelves in early October. If the song floats your boat…
