Song of the day – 589: Go Violets

Song of the day – 589: Go Violets

It’s a most welcome cliché, this sound. An always welcome cliché round these parts.

LISTEN: The High Violets – Heroes and Halos (Saint Marie)

LISTEN: The High Violets – Heroes and Halos (Saint Marie)

Through my job, I’ve seen more gourmet cakes in six months than in my 25 years of admiring cakes. The real luxury in these confections usually isn’t the cake itself, but the two-inch glove of gummy fondant frosting, often curled into pink ribbons atop the solid white base. Now, most guests just can’t handle that […]

What I did last night instead of going to see J. Mascis play live

What I did last night instead of going to see J. Mascis play live

I like J. His laconic humour, his even more laconic guitar solos. I didn’t know he was playing until I saw some grunge types outside the Zoo, struggling their way through the cyclone-building rain. My first car park spot I vacated after spotting the sign that read “temporarily closed because of potential flooding due to […]

Song of the Day #775: Guppy

Song of the Day #775: Guppy

Screengrab image via Blend42 Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again too few to mention. One of my biggest regrets as far as the Brisbane music scene goes is that I never got to see Go Violets. I was forever writing their shows in my diary and missing them never mattered until they went […]

Song Of The Day 170: Hatchie

Song Of The Day 170: Hatchie

Laneway rolls into Brisbane this weekend. Traditionally (or at least in recent years), it’s been the first stop in Australia (after Singapore and New Zealand) but this time it’s been relegated to the last weekend. I don’t really envy everyone playing in Brisbane on Saturday (sunny and 33 degrees Celsius forecast) and then having to […]

The return of Everett True | 125. Hinds

The return of Everett True | 125. Hinds

I have no idea if they’ll remain this good the whole time the four ladies, the two ladies, are together. It seems near unbelievable they could be. But there again, there’s Kim Deal. If you don’t get this video on any level, if you do not understand this music just one nano-second of a nano-second, if you do […]

The return of Everett True | 117. The Wendy Darlings

The return of Everett True | 117. The Wendy Darlings

This one has a little of ace unforgotten post-Riot Grrrl 90s U.K. indie band Prolapse about its intro before lapsing into full-on pop. It reminds me of former Brisbane sweethearts The Go Violets in its shouty melody, but that’s natural. Enthusiasm over ability, any day. Actually, my bad. Prolapse were way more shouty and turbulant […]

Everett True and his 40 favourite songs of 2014

This year stuttered in bits and firsts. Music is the healer. Here are the songs. The Aquadolls – Wander It’s knowing that passion can be full-tilt and consuming. It’s about Shadow Morton and Ellis Greenwich and 2014. It’s a love for the same love for that a ton of other folk show a love for but […]

I like this doing this, occasionally. I do wish Collapse Board had a few more readers so these results weren’t so skewed by friends of the bands, but there again… Here are the 10 most read entries in my return to Song of the Day in 2014 so far, as evidenced by Google Analytics. I’ll […]

That whole “music used to sound better when I was younger” theory

That whole “music used to sound better when I was younger” theory

Here it is in a nutshell (or some similar badly used metaphor). 2013 was an amazing year for music, possibly the greatest yet. I was listening to so much and writing about so much and… well, wow. It was incredible. 2014, on the other hand, is such a rubbish year for music… now that I’m […]
