49/365 – Milk and Honey… My Ass.

Wow. This takes me back to analysing poems for English in Year 12. Firstly, read through the lyrics of this song by Augie March.
Pity the boy in front of me
He was only 16,
Lifted up my axe then down,
Split his head like a cord of wood.
Not for me the huon pine,
Not for me the(click to read the full post)

The Whitlams – No Aphrodisiac with Sydney Symphony Orchestra

I don’t think an explanation should be needed. It’s just an awesome song.

Mumford and Sons – Little Lion Man

In the category of ‘music that Liz and Jarod liked a while ago but never got around to posting‘ is Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons.
I dare you not to be singing the chorus by the end of the song. Double dares are for those that think they won’t over emphasise the swear(click to read the full post)

This will make our breakfast decisions tougher…

Since Liz typed out this blog post, we’ve been avid Adam Spencer on ABC 702 listeners. When he went on holidays, it was with great pain that we’d switch back to Triple J. Due to similar holiday schedules, we’d normally end up with Gaby Brown, as thus didn’t have to listen to the(click to read the full post)

Megan Washington – Clementine.

Liz and I saw this ages ago, but as usual forgot to post it. Seriously cool stop motion video clip & her voice is simply amazing.

Ramona Was A Waitress

For the past few days I’ve had Paul Dempsey’s Ramona Was A Waitress in my head. It’s a cracker of a song and fully deserves all the airplay it’s getting on Triple J of late.
Pleasantly, the video clip is well above average too.

Augie March Live in Sydney

As a part of Liz’s birthday festivities, we headed into the Metro to see Augie March last night. Being my first time seeing them live I didn’t know what to expect… suffice to say I was more than blown away.

That is a blatantly stolen photo from Liz’s 40D. I didn’t even kid myself(click to read the full post)

Augie March’s New Album Watch Me Disappear

I’ve listened to Augie March’s new album Watch Me Disappear about a half dozen time since Liz got it in the mail yesterday. A few days late cause it’s got a few scribbley signatures on it, but better late than never.

The Lucksmiths…

are one of my favourite bands. Or bands that no longer exist, I guess. I first heard them when I saw Daniel Kitson perform when I lived in Brisbane – they were the music playing before the show started and I loved it, despite only being able to remember one lyric later on – “You(click to read the full post)

Antz tours with V Festival!

The lucky bastard* Antz from over in Perth will be touring with the V Festival in a few days. Why not keep an eye on his movements through his blog, flickr stream and twitter?
*He totally deserves it and is a brilliant photographer. And I’m not jealous at all.

Birthday Augie March

As Jarod pointed out, we went to see Augie March at the Metro for my birthday. It wasn’t really for my birthday, it just so happened that the only night they played in Sydney was on my birthday. And thus, they played for me. Right?

I wasn’t sure if I should take my camera as the(click to read the full post)

Watch Augie Disappear?

I stumbled across an article online at SMH (here) about Augie’s latest release, and some comments from the band. By the sound of things, things are a bit rocky…
In separate long conversations Glenn Richards, the band’s singer and songwriter and resident Eeyore, and Edmondo Ammendola, bass player and self-described “glass half-full” man, reveal a band(click to read the full post)

Congrats Antz!!

Huge congrats to Mr. Antz of musopantz for winning the Best Festival Photo Award in the 2008 Fasterlouder Festival Awards.
They even flew him over from Perth for the awards ceremony!
Very well deserved.
Go check out his flickr stream, too.

Two things

Firstly, sometimes our stats make me giggle:

Secondly, I didn’t realise that the Doug Anthony All Stars were back in fashion? I mean, yeah, I loved them back in the day (albeit 5 years after they disbanded), but I wasn’t sure it warranted a DVD in 2008?

Waking up to AM

Waking up in the morning is hard enough. I was brought up on the wake-up-to-a-very-annoying-beeping-thing, and never used to be able to wake up to the sound of a radio playing. It was way too subtle for my sleepy ears to tune in to.
Jarod, on the other hand, wakes up at Train nibbling on biscuits.(click to read the full post)

Pinky Bee and the White Russians…

Were wonderful. Go out and buy yourself their new album ‘Somethin’ Somewhere Better’. And then regret not going to their album launch at The Annandale.
So many musicians take themselves a little too seriously, so it’s nice to have a break from the pretentiousness once and awhile.
I haven’t taken gig photos in awhile, due(click to read the full post)
