    First Time Friday with The Mark of Cain

     If this is likely the First Time you’ve heard The Mark Of Cain, then welcome. Welcome to the 90s, welcome to Australia, welcome to a time when music was intense and vital and powerful.

  • PJ Harvey Covering Red Right Hand Is As Beautifully Fucked Up As You’d Expect

    PJ Harvey Covering Red Right Hand Is As Beautifully Fucked Up As You’d Expect

    You can always expect the unexpected from PJ Harvey, yet you can be assured that you’ll get something haunting, thought provoking, terrifying, uplifting, depressing, beautiful and genuinely raw thrown into the creative blender. To call this a ‘cover’ doesn’t really begin to justify the way she’s taken control of not only the narrative but the…

  • Snoop Dogg Covering Red Right Hand Is As Shit As You’d Expect

    Snoop Dogg Covering Red Right Hand Is As Shit As You’d Expect

     Where the washed-up woke rapper butchers the Nick Cave classic, dropping his usual Masonic symbolism bullshit left right and centre, while the archaic, festering, socialist shit-show BBC blithely describes the song as the “theme to Peaky Blinders“.

  • Maynard Mondays: 3 Libras

    Maynard Mondays: 3 Libras

    Up until the mid twentieth century the mountain gorilla was considered a myth. Oddly enough, a legend not unlike Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster. The chance of actually seeing/experiencing this elusive shadow was as likely as finding one’s soulmate. Rare. Precious. Even once discovered they seemed unapproachable. The only way to get close to…

  • Friday Fugazi: Mayhem At The Morrow

    Friday Fugazi: Mayhem At The Morrow

    This is a specially personal FF for me. Watching this epic video shot by an old friend brings back the taste of warm VB, the dry mouth and glorious lack of oxygen from a smoke-filled room, salty sticky bodies sliding against each other, the crush of the throng losing their shit yet at the same…

  • Beastie Boys Still Ill

    Beastie Boys Still Ill

    25 years. Way to make us all feel old, Beastie Boys. Still Ill celebrates the milestone of the release of Ill Communication, an album that broke the mold and blurred the lines of hip-hop, punk and hardcore and avoided a myriad of pigeonholes in the process.
