I’m disappointed. Very disappointed in fact. Red Steers’ new EP The Fever Fold is the first I had of heard of this act that I wish I’d discovered sooner. Daniel Johnston, not singer/songwriter and creator of artwork worn by Kurt Cobain, but the Wellington based musician, is the artist behind […]

It’s a strange thing to be looking forward to DJ Premier’s tribute mixes (his last mix in memory of Malcolm McLaren was something special) while at the same time having to accept that another great has gone. The politics surrounding Guru’s death is a little too much right now so […]

I got blacklisted yesterday by Dane Rumble’s distribution company, Warner Music NZ, in a move which speaks volumes about how things have been going down at their HQ. Damage control. For those of you who haven’t been following this entire thing, Dane Rumble got infuriated with me for something I […]
Just when you think that all the good shows must have been announced and maybe you’ll actually get a little bit of downtime to enjoy the cold weather, in comes more great tour announcements. As part of their tour down under, Common and Kid Capri are including two back-to-back New […]
Bad day for hip-hop. Guru – real name Keith Elam – and one-half of the legendary Gangstarr has died almost two months after suffering a heart attack which saw him hospitalised and needing surgery. According to news sources, Guru died after a secret battle with cancer that lasted over a […]
Here’s a little something that popped up in my inbox yesterday morning courtesy of Dane Rumble, a man that recently scored big when his debut album went straight to number one in New Zealand three weeks ago. Click it to enlarge and believe me when I tell you that I’m […]

Surely Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser were listening to the musical Hair when they wrote the sleeve notes for their new album Congratulations. They reckon Flash Delirium is “The Natives go all Dance-hall Stomp as something strange in the water forces a Flash time Strobo-cop emanation of the will. Delusion […]

Born in Michigan to a church-going family (“I went to church, five days a week for 14 years” she has said), Holly Miranda’s back-story doesn’t seem like the type of thing which might result in an album like The Magician’s Private Library. That title was even inspired by her schizophrenic […]
Sit on that title for a second. Whore Of The Headhunter. It’s great huh, and it makes perfect sense because if you go to their MySpace page and check out their influences, all you’ll see is a couple of old school pictures of leather clad biker gangs. The Don Kings […]
