SOTD #703 – The Drones
With apologies. We, the Australian people, deserve better. The power struggle in the Liberal party, the blistering hot days, the deadly animals that inhabit the bulk of the country – we deserve a new start. A fresh start. That starts with a new Australian Anthem. Let’s be honest; the current National Anthem, ‘Advance Australia Fair,’ isn’t very […]
SOTD #701 – Zoe Zac
Sometimes these songs should just introduce themselves. This one would say, “Hi, I’m a dreamer. Do you ever think about your own death?” Zoe Zac – Honeybee ep by metal postcard records The line “won’t you be my honeybee” might strike you as the punchline in an insect-themed Valentine’s day card – but not in […]
Song of the Day #700 – The Orielles
I have been to Halifax, UK and the last place I’d expect to find a band that sounds like the Orielles would by far be Halifax. I was drawn to this by the masterfully done hand lettering of their band name that I kept seeing all over the internet. I instantly checked out their soundcloud […]
Song of the Day #683 – Ike
Sexuality is something I haven’t cracked yet. Kinda like hose, tall leather boots, and low-rise jeans – it’s a garment that never seemed to fit, both in a physical and metaphorical sense. Me, I wanted to show off my wit, not my body. Gimmie some baggy corduroys and olive knit duds any day. But then […]
SOTD #681 – Vulture Shit
“We’re Vulture Shit…which is the worst kind of shit” I’d been a-thinkin’ for a while that Sleaford Mods, the post-punk rant rap sensation sweeping the UK nation, deserved the Collapse Board treatment. But three things happened this week that shut down this idea. 1. This Guardian article, which basically claims that the NEW THANG will […]
Song of the Day #680 – Dog Chocolate
“DOG CHOCOLATE, DOG CHOCOLATE, ISN’T FIT FOR CONSUMPTION” It’s best when new bands just slap ya in the face. Like when this rabid bloke from Dog Chocolate cries that he wants to give birth. “I know it will hurt, and I know it will bleed / but I really, really, really, really, really wanna breed”. […]
Song of the Day #679 – BADBADNOTGOOD
First, to be perfectly clear – before you go a-whinin’ that you’ve heard this one before – BADBADNOTGOOD changed the game. They stormed the crumbling ramparts of jazz fusion and elevated urban beats to unprecedented heights. When they jam, it ain’t smug baroque showboating. It’s now or never. Kick ass and run like hell. Keep […]
Song Of The Day – 677: North Dakota
By now, you may have heard on the Facebooks that Everett True, the Legend! and former captain of Collapse Board, has jumped ship. Upon hearing the news, many responded along these lines: “What! Without ET we will be lost! Who will find that life-affirming music for us?! Please don’t leave us – we need CB, […]
