    Songs For The Apocalypse: On A Bus

    Zombies ride buses and take orders. Liquor market Lots of flats Another 24-hour chemist Self-Serve gas I said all these things serve me well I said all these things serve me well   It’s hypnotizing It sends me to sleep No one talks to anyone else It’s frightening Everybody’s minds are blank Oh – oh…

    Insanity Distilled Into Music

    Fuck me. How did this escape me until now? We may never get to witness or be a part of a scene like this ever again. Don’t let it happen. We Need This. A healthy insanity, good for the mind, the soul. Tear it out yourself, let no one do it for you. We Need…

    The Science Of Suave

    Holy shit, it’s a good day when the legend of Australian music Mr Kim Salmon pops up in your feed. Especially with the first Scientists record in 35 years due to drop, the suave is back in the swamp. Even at his most haggard, he still has more style and swagger than all you motherfuckers…

  • Just Leaving This Here

    Just Leaving This Here

    The prophecies of Howard Beale, the only newscaster we should ever have listened to, yet sadly ignored for the last 40 years. A brilliant, poignant scene from Network, 1976, with Peter Finch on form.

    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

    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.
