We’re happy little Vegemites – A bunch of snotty kids with horrible accents. Oh Great, an advertising jingle. Now there’s a line of work for me. I could be just like Uncle Joey and Jesse. Vegemite. Much like the country it emblemises, i can’t stand the stuff – i don’t like it, i don’t use [...]

How Fucking Romantic

How fucking romantic – The Magnetic Fields A voice, some fingerclicks, a delayed then punched, anisochronous final syllable – that’s all you really need for a song. If that song leads into The One You Really Love, then all the better.
The International Tweexcore Underground

The International Tweexcore Underground – Los Campesinos! Uh-oh. No. They’re a good band. They do things right. I hold the highest of courts for such decisions, i do, so let it be known – it’s now decreed. I hate what distance cautionary fandom and fear of exposing love of an uncool thing has put between [...]
Death To Los Campesinos!

Death to Los Campesinos! – Los Campesinos! On the other side of the contrived, grating spectrum of bands, i place Los Campesinos! I’m sure i’m wrong. I’m sure there’s an absolute to this, and i’ve fallen for the wrong type of band. Los Campesinos are the real irritating band. No! In defiance or delusion, i [...]
Break Down The Walls

Break down the walls – Youth of Today Give me a drum kit, sit me behind it and i’ll habitually play the opening of this song. It’s the perfect test pattern. Hit everything, hear everything, find your place amongst everything. I just hope no one notices it as me playing this song and leave it [...]
See You Later, Heartbreaker

See you later, heartbreaker – Baskervilles There’s something about this song that grates with me. Sure, it’s catchy – that’s probably the reason it’s here – but… i don’t know. There seems to me something contrived, something dull, something counterfeit, something adult, here. It’s, to me, music from a place i don’t like, a place [...]

In The Summer

In the Summer – The Fastbacks When the documentary Hype came out, it was sold on it’s coverage and rare footage of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and their ilk. It was because of that i went to see it. It was because of that i’m sure most went to see it. I went for the first [...]
Telephone

Telephone – Lady Gaga I’m going to balk at this opportunity for finger on the pulse, up to the minute (well, a week or two late at least) cultural commentary. I don’t really have that much of an opinion, as most do, on this song and its now inextricably fused video. And beside that point, [...]
Doot Doot

Doot doot – Freur This is pre-Underworld, mum, you square. A perfect song, and their only real hit. Lifting, gentle, floating in space. I like how they changed their name under record label pressure from that little scribble to something pronounceable, and yet i still can’t pronounce it because of my stupid speech impediment.
