Meg White sex tape fake yet still “news”

Friday, September 28th, 2007

Well here’s some sloppy reporting from the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH), with the SMH website reporting that Meg White, “drummer” of the White Stripes, was the ’star’ of the latest celebrity sex video doing the rounds.
As of writing this, the SMH “Meg White sex video claim” story is the second most viewed story on the [...]

News Flash: Free Speech is Dead!

Monday, September 24th, 2007

I’m a massive Pearl Jam fan, so I picked up on this one when I checked in on there site just recently. The band have been performing on the Lollapalooza festival, with one of their recent shows being webcast, portions of their performance never made it to air.
After concluding our Sunday night show at Lollapalooza, [...]

Silverchair & Powderfinger (Across the Great Divide Tour) 19 September 2007

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

My ears are still ringing from last nights Silverchair/Powderfinger double bill, Across the Great Divide show at Rod Laver Arena. From where I was, the stadium appeared to be at near capacity.
Support act for the night was Expatriate. They put on an entertaining half hour or so of music, but I have to say, playing [...]

Rollin’ with Saget

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Bob Saget and hip hop aren’t two things you would normally associate with one another. Turns out Bob Saget, of Full House fame, is in fact old school gangsta.

Taking Back Sunday – Louder Now (album review)

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Even though it was released in 2006, “Louder Now”, the third album from Taking Back Sunday, has become one of those albums I just can’t take out of my cd player.
The tone of the album is heavy rock “happy hardcore”, with liberal lashings of pop thrown in for good measure. I’m sure that Taking Back [...]

Napster offering free 7 day trial

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Napster. You may remember Napster from their classic courtroom battles involving Metallica, and in particular, Metallica’s highly irritating drummer Lars Ulrich. Napster has changed quite a bit since then, with the most critical change being that the company is now legit. Not 100% sure how there system works, but I do know that they are [...]

Linkin Poke Minutes to Moonight

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

If you love Linkin Park, you may take offense to this… otherwise you might find it piss funny. I love the drum kit! So this is a parody film clip. Think Weird Al, and you’re getting close. This is actually quite authentic in that it sounds like the track my have been an out take [...]

Nine Inch Nails Hard Copy report

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

I was browsing YouTube watching Nine Inch Nails clips when I stumbled across this report that was screened on Hard Copy, sometime in the early 1990’s. The report follows the police investigation into a mysterious unsolved murder, that turned out to not be a murder at all. One of the more bizarre reports that I’ve [...]

Don’t get ripped off by fake Gibson guitars

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

I’m a massive guitar whore, so consider the following a public service announcement.
Gibson are one of the biggest names in guitars. They are also quite expensive. Little wonder then that a massive counterfeit market has emerged. So your buying a new Les Paul, but have never had the opportunity to play the real thing before. [...]

Nine Inch Nails Concert Review (Melbourne, The Metro, 13 May 2007)

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Nine Inch Nails played the Metro in Melbourne Sunday night, 13 May 2007. If you don’t know, the Metro is a small “intimate” venue, probably best known in Melbourne as a hang out for drunken bogan’s who want a dose of doof doof music. Sunday night, probably proves why the venue has such a reputation. [...]

Trent Reznor and the music gear behind the Fragile

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

This is one for the music geeks and gear whores. It’s an article about how certain sounds were obtained during the course of recording the Fragile. Mostly guitar related, so therefore I like it.
