Song of the Day #767: Cat Power
I spend an unhealthy amount of time thinking/mildly obsessing about the lives of famous musicians. I mean if you’re someone like Paul McCartney or Bob Dylan, do you wake up in the morning and think to yourself, “Fuck me! I’m Paul McCartney, I was in the Beatles, I helped change pop culture and music forever […]

Even as I leave she’s still walking the stage, taking and giving flowers and hands, smiling and talking.

REVIEWED IN WORDS: Cat Power – Sun (Matador)
Sun isn’t as haunting as Moon Pix, but it’s every bit as full. It’s the first Cat Power album that isn’t afraid to look you in the eye. You can dance to it. It’s sexy and confident in a way that makes you feel sexy and confident. It’s a personal triumph as much as a musical one.

Witching Waves – Crystal Café (HHBTM / Soft Power)

We shouldn’t be the ones stranded in apartments, stuck in the towns we hate, doing the work that no one with dignity would do. Well, then. You can just lie there […]
“Being a sexually empowered woman doesn’t make you a slut or a slag” | Songs related to sexuality
First, define what you mean by Sexuality in relation to popular music. Now proceed… (All choices made by students in KMB003, QUT) Anna Calvi – Suzanne And I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIDj0SVWeBU I’d talk about Anna Calvi for Gender but due to the song topic I’d put it as Sexuality. It’s a very strong, passionate and confident message […]
Chirpy, chilled, catchy | Music loved by KMB003 students
Always interesting to see what the consensus throws up. These choices were made in groups of two, three and four – and so needed to be treated as such. A couple of groups of students agreed that they couldn’t agree. THURSDAY 3PM 1. Led Zeppelin – Heartbreaker Hard rocking guitar, you can sense the frustration […]
Ed Kuepper @ Brisbane Powerhouse, 14.09.13
Dynamics are the key and it’s only if you really goddamn feel the song you’ve written, understand it with every fibre, does it all instinctively flesh itself out in a live scenario.
