"I know it's stupid but I love you." Said The Whale.

    “I know it’s stupid but I love you.” Said The Whale.

    It’s two minutes and 47 seconds. It’s stupid. It’s perfect.

    RIP Ray Manzarek (1939-2013)

    Some bands from my youth have fallen by the wayside, but not The Doors. I always return to them and each return pays back my youthful devotion. RIP Ray Manzarek.

    Scout Niblett – It’s Up To Emma (Drag City)

    There’s not much room for ‘fun’. No room for pom poms and a nihilistic refrain chanted ad nauseum like it’s a game. It’s straight down the line fucked upness, which is appropriate given the album is wedded so tightly to a heart that’s been badly burned.

    King Tuff + Cannon + Screaming Match + Thigh Master @ The Primitive Room, Brisbane 26.04.13

    King Tuff sound like garage hillbilly metal, grounded by a bassist who looks like he came straight out of a 70s porno.

    “I know it’s stupid but I love you.” Said The Whale.

    Said the Whale

    By Erika Meyer

    Brook, 17, and I were cruising around SE Portland listening to KNRK, a radio station which, since The Donnas incident, has vastly improved. They now play some local music, and they also play some newer music.

    A song came on that caught the our attention. A little bit Dandy Warhols, but not too much. We both liked it enough to later find the band by googling the lyrics to the chorus: “I love you. I love you. I really really love you.” (more…)

    Ray Manzarek

    By Wallace Wylie

    Within the fires of adolescence all great/dubious rock and roll mythologies are forged. In moments of loneliness, music makes some unlikely connections and lives change as a result. So it goes with me. As a lonely 15-year-old I had read about The Doors but never actually heard them. For some reason my mum had bought some musical encyclopedia that had entries on every major, and most minor, bands and performers up through the late 80s. I read every entry. Twice. Three times. Untold amounts of times. The writing wasn’t exactly stellar, but it filled a need. Some entries I read more than others. The entry on The Doors was one of them. (more…)
