If you are into either guitar, recording music, or listening to the music of Porcupine Tree, head over to one of my other sites in the super Swollen Pickles network and check out the guitar gear of Steven Wilson, vocalist, guitarist and producer of Porcupine Tree. I found some pictures [...]

In the proud tradition of other great train wreck live music performances (remember Stephanie MacIntosh?) I present to you the G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S Fergie hitting all sorts of ungodly notes, and missing 99% of her vocal cues, whilst murdering “Live and Let Die”. The only thing that goes close to salvaging this performance is the pyrotechnics show [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
