The extinction agenda – Organized Konfusion A friend i’ve, through no one’s fault but my own, lost an incredible and vital amount of touch with came up to me the other night at work and asked me to make him a hip hop themed mixtape. Me, there, always there, always able to be found there, [...]

Top Of The World

Top of the world – Shonen Knife It is this version. The beginning, the guitars, the accent, the tempo – unmistakable. I’m not sure if i’m brave enough to declare it better than the original, but it probably is. The only cover on If I Were a Carpenter that could arise such contention, only because [...]
Shotgun

Shotgun – Heart Attack Hardcore just forgot how to play certain chords along the way, didn’t it? This music is beyond me. In experience. There’s a certain kind of hardcore, obscure enough, cultish enough, killed enough by death, that is by no means user friendly and with avenues of initiation never as open, inviting and [...]
Shine

Shine – Collective Soul There was a time i thought this song the collective knees of a whole hive of bees. It was early, early in my independent music listening/possessing pursuit and sure i knew at most 1% of the music i know of today and the music that puts the shivers up my spine [...]
Wild Eyes

Wild eyes – Vivian Girls I don’t know why i worry so. Good time had by all. It’s just i feel so uncool, unworthy and anxious to the point of debilitation and self loathing sometimes, stranded outside of the backward forwardness of the (gulp, but it catchalls it well enough) DIY scene. But, whether it [...]
Alex’s Song #5

Alex’s Song #5? – Independent Thought Alarm Band practise today, see? One day i’ll have the song titles and maybe even the recordings to post here. Hopefully. Our regular practise space came kaput and there’s a magical, fantastic, siren-song of a city called Melbourne ten hours South. Working through it.
Shazam

Shazam – Spiderbait I wouldn’t have even realised this was a song with an author, let alone it being a Spiderbait song, had i not researched it this morning. It sounds like the most generic, uncredited, not paying for royalties, pump up sports montage song written serviceably by someone who is a no one. Coincidentally, [...]
Talulah Gosh

Talulah Gosh – Talulah Gosh This is one of those songs where its immediacy and ubiquity in reference, recommendation and assignation as a genre defining song overshadows what a great song it really is. That it is the go-to song for this kind of music, that it is the depth delved not only of Talulah [...]
Shaving Your Head

Shaving your head – Lagwagon I broke a cymbal drumming along to this song, towards the end, about when the singer yells “yeah”. A really nice UFIP 16″ crash. I wish had a better war story, but i don’t – i broke a cymbal to a Lagwagon song. I can remember every song every crack [...]
All The Time

All the time – Vivian Girls We are going to see these people this Friday, and i’m excited. I’ve heard tales from people i don’t know that all fun, good time and Vivian Girlmania one would expect of them doesn’t translate to them live or as people, so cue apprehension. Pile on apprehension that i’ll [...]
