German juggernaut label Permanent Vacation have just released a selection of their best work entitled exactly that; Selected Label Works No 1. Included on the compilation are huge tracks from Sally Shapiro, Dolle Jolle, Lullabies In The Dark, Only Fools & Horses and Panthers plus this little ditty by 40 Thieves which is also the [...]

KASABIAN – VLAD THE IMPALER
Like my sense of reality, i haven’t seen Noel Fielding around for awhile. However I’m sure (like reality) he has been doing lots of stuff… but I’m straying of the topic here. My good friend Jordan Doig, who will not doubt be a famous film maker very soon, clued me onto [...]

Deerhunter will be here in Melbourne on the 12th of July. My ticket constantly calls to me from my drawer. Basically I cant wait and every new Deerhunter tune that passes my ears just keeps on getting better and better. New EP Rainwater Cassette Exchange is out on the 18th of May. I dont need [...]

So it was such a surprise when I had a flick through their new offering, Primary Colours, to [...]

If you live in Melbourne and regularly go out and check out some of the local bands out there, very high chances you would have heard this trooper along the way. Popolice is a one-man shoegaze/pop experience, and Ive already posted some stuff a while back from the same EP, but its still just as [...]

HOLY CRAP!
