    The Blog Paradox

    Was just reading Tim Lucas's Blog and he was writing about the dilema of wasting his professional time writing a blog. He basically wrote a detailed review on his Blog that sorta came at cross-purposes with his offline publication. Now that offline journos are writing Blogs, for which they get...

    Why doesn't anyone here like 'indie' music anymore?

    You know like bands on K-records, or folk singers from Sweden, or girly-Japanese pop-groups, or shoegazer bands from Norway, or media-studies and architecture drop-outs from Melbourne/Berlin/New York? I mean 'indie' is the roots of this board, unless two step/grime/three step/hop step/glitch...

    The Real Kids

    Great USA power-pop-punk of the finest, most minimal and reet and highest order. And for you Pommies, kinda like a cruisier, less repressed version of the Buzzcocks, or a more minimal version of the Only Ones. Us retarded convict Aussies haven't produced a power-pop band this good yet. Makes...

    Saw SYRIANA

    A film populated by cyphers and trying to be an neo-Alan J Pakula conspiracy tract. Chomsky-lite for a mainstream audiences that didn't go and see it. Hardcore middlebrowlia like all the other Oscar-wankoffs this year.

    Wilco: Shit or Clay?

    For nearly 10 years was never a fan. I found them to be the new REM, the ultimately MOR-indie type band that make earnest, workmanlike albums of song than nether enlighten nor offend. the toe the shiny-happy idealistic-Uni educated line so well, have the MOJO-friendly rock-history chops down...

    Right-Wing Rock crits

    Well the *best* right-wing or neo-con or whatever tarred and feathered label you wanna diss him with rock-crit is Chris Stigliano of Black 2 Comm, without any doubt. http://www.black2com.blogspot.com/ Mind you he doesn't regard himself as a rock-crit per-se, more as an enlightened fan. Some...

    'The Last Waltz' movie

    Just reading reynolds fob-off of the 'last waltz' movie, and kinda understanding in their po-mo body-w/o-organ discourcia that the film will never stand a chance, coz in basically represents everything MOJO stands for. I never gave two shits about this moofie, nor most of the bands/artists on...

    Music that's popular in the Middle East

    Here's an interesting one. I'm curious to know how the effects of evil American/English/European capitalism have infiltrated that outpost of civilisation that is the middle East. I'm curious to know how their social/physical environment affects the type of sounds they respond to. So far I can...

Me? I'm am the IT equivalent of a plumber. Unfortunately, no woprk sponsored trip to...

    Why don't Oasis get radio airplay anymore? Are they still big?

    I noticed here DOnUnder land you hardly ever hear Brit-Pop Demi-God International Global rock stars Oasis get played on radio any more. Well they still do, but only trax off 'Wots the story' and 'Definitely maybe'..It's like all their music just disappeared into nothingness after those two, but...

    Summadayze Melbourne Australia 2006

    Fadboy Slim played a massive NYE @ Bondi set last night, then flies over to Melbourne that had 42C weather, only to have today washed out (almost) into that sorta drizzly UK weather in the Middle of Summa!! Me and fellow space-traveller buddy smoked some skunk and shuffled through Tall (not...

    Drugs and music appreciation

    Just reading the year-end Dissensus music picks and Woebots Top100 rex and all, and I'm just curious to know whether most/least Dissensus smoke the magical herb (which I beleive makes perfect transcendent synergy with music listening/appreciation) for their musical appreciation. Sure the tastes...

    What happened to the Chemical Brothers\Fatboy Slim\DaftPunk

    Innaresting thing about these three is that in many ways they were the soundtrack/posterboys of the INTERNET BOOM 1999-2000 period, and seem to have busted the same way. I'm gonna be checkin' Fatboy on New Years' Day here in Melbourne to see where he's at sonically these days (though I'm more...

    Iran's threats to nuke Israel

    Nobody ever mentioned that if they in fact carry this out, they will inadvertantly wipe out all of Palestine in the process. Then who will they have to blame for the problems in the Middle East? No references needed for this glaring idiocy.
