Kanye Collaborates With 30 Seconds To Mars on “Hurricane”
Posted in Music on Nov 30th, 2009
I’m going to try and make this the last time I mention 30 Seconds To Mars. Really. There seems to be a lot of hype around these guys in New Zealand at the moment — maybe someone knows something I don’t (my guess is a tour?) — and this has got to be the most [...]

Ladyhawke Takes Home Two ARIA Awards, Empire of the Sun, The Rest
Posted in Music on Nov 30th, 2009
So apparently all that controversy about Ladyhawke performing at the ARIA’s turned into smoke. Homegirl did take home two awards though — Breakthrough artist single and breakthrough artist album — and expressed more remorse about the controversy than she should have. “I feel bad but confused, because I’m not sure the way this whole thing [...]
The Tracklisting For Lil’ Wayne’s “Rebirth”
Posted in Music on Nov 30th, 2009
You know what? I don’t even care what the release date for Rebirth even is anymore. Much like Tha Carter III was, it’s been pushed back so many times that I’m not going to believe it’s out until I see it on shelves (or in a more likely case, until I download the leak). Anyway, [...]

Posted in Photos on Nov 27th, 2009
And now for some bad news. Australian photographer Sam Haskins, best known for his work Five Girls, Cowboy Kate, November Girl and Haskins Posters, passed away on Wednesday night. Haskins started his photography career by taking a job as an advertising photographer in the early 1950’s and released his first renowned work Five Girls in [...]
On top of all those other announcements which should safely assure that you have no money left by the end of summer, comes the news that Wilco are returning to New Zealand for two shows. The group played here earlier this year and collaborated on Neil Finn’s 7 World’s Collide album . The tour is [...]
Ke$ha’s Billboard Interview
Posted in Music on Nov 26th, 2009
Ke$ha a.k.a that girl that looks like Taylor Swift, if Taylor Swift stayed out all night/had just been fucked, has been on our radars for some time now. I’m not even sure how she managed to break into mainstream New Zealand which gained her a number one single for five weeks (and still has her [...]
