The return of Everett True | 155. Willow Beats
Hi there. I have another one for you. No wait, Where are you going? I can count to 1. ‘My Love’ is the greatest love song of the 1980s. Discuss. Who would have thought that BLANK BLANK would throw such a strange, long shadow? I like stuff that disorientates and comforts simultaneously. Kept on edge but […]
The return of Everett True | 154. Ravioli Me Away
Imagine if I lived in England still. I would be so happy, some nights. Imagine if I lived in England still. I would feel so miserable, isolated from all these wicked-cool people. Imagine if I lived in England still. The drum beats would sound like this. The keyboards would sound like this. The ominous shit would […]

Montage of Heck | “undercooked and over-thought”
By Alexandra Duguid Since the suicide of Kurt Cobain in 1994, he and his band have always been mystified, covered in conspiracy, touted and disparaged. With exciting new footage, audio and illustrations of and created by Cobain, film maker Brett Morgen’s Montage Of Heck promised a demystifying of the Great Cobain Myth. The film explores […]
A review of Charli XCX live in Brisbane written perhaps not the way you’d expect
By Everett True/Kat Elizabeth Donald I took one of my students from Sex Drugs Rock’N’Roll down to see Charlie XCX and Tkay Maidza at The Met last week, on the stipulation she write something about it for Collapse Board. So she did. I really liked Tkay because she was just so young and had so […]
The return of Everett True | 153. Sacred Paws
Flung from pillar to post. All I know is all I know. I stopped listening to new music when I was 20, when it comes down to it. Go on then, define new. Doubtless, some people might be taken aback by this wonderful song by Sacred Paws. It is warming. It is fast but not […]
