Mellencamp shows us how to R.O.C.K in Oz

December 29, 2008 – 4:29 pm

I don't have to worry about any pop sensibility. I can write adult songs, and I don't have to worry about choruses and hook lines.

twitterRAGE community music video channel

December 29, 2008 – 12:44 am

You may have noticed this new thing called twitterRAGE being mentioned on Twitter recently. What is it? The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) have a music video show called rage - and basically a bunch of “tweeps” (Twitter users) including @misswired @barrysaunders @ApostrophePong myself and others have a shared account on YouTube twitterrage where we collect and make available through a playlist our favourite music videos and tracks for people to listen to … basically a community-programmed web version of the ABC’s rage show.

Jamendo: Free music

December 14, 2008 – 10:12 am

I had to find some music yesterday morning to play before and after the speeches at the rally in Canberra yesterday against the Government’s mandatory Internet filtering proposal which I was an organiser of … and I didn’t want to get into the whole paying APRA/AMCOS royalties thing or illegally play licensed music in a public place - so I needed to find some free music.

Worst recent music video?

December 10, 2008 – 9:28 am

I’m voting The Bird and the Bee “Polite Dance Song” as worst music video that’s in high rotation at the moment. I’m not sure if my extreme dislike for the video is because of it’s insipidity or slight freakishness - but it just distresses me.

They don’t make ‘em like they used to

Neal Peart of Rush

Amongst my favourite bloggers is Sam de Brito on the Sydney Morning Herald website, who writes fairly wide-ranging entries focussing on a masculine perspective on life. A couple of weeks ago, however, he strayed uncharacteristically into the area of music. What he said irked me considerably, in several polar ways, and I really wanted an outlet in which to respond to it.

The Maladies & The definition of artistic license =)

The Maladies - Daniel Marando

I never knew that there were places (homes, institutions or whatever you want to call them) for people who were deaf. Daniel Marando from the diabolically bluesy Maladies sits across from me, staring out the window. Something seems to catch his eye as he turns and waves to an older lady sitting across the room, intently watching the Bold and the Beautiful with closed captions blaring.

“HI  MARGARET, HOW ARE YOU?”

Sheryl Crow shows she’s still got it

December 3, 2008 – 11:33 am

On Friday night, Kahlee and I headed over to the Acer Arena to see Sheryl Crow’s opening set for John Mellencamp. After a cracker start with All I Wanna Do, Crow delivered a terrific set of old and new songs, plus excellent covers of Cat Stevens’ The First Cut is the Deepest and Crowded House’s Mean to Me. If I’m going to be honest, the brand new song “inspired by the Dalai Lama” pretty much sucked, but hopefully Shazza will leave the political stuff to Rudd in the future.
