a new Deadnotes + The Legend! song

I swear to Bangs, this is just about the most incredible piece of music I've ever been associated with!

Song of the day - 134: David & Jad Fair

"My friend Jad Fair," begins perhaps the best-loved Legend! and Deadnotes song, " once told me that there are only two types of songs."

another review of the legend! and some bunch of anonymous backing musicians

Taken from Rave Magazine - and notable for being my first favourable review in the Brisbane street press.

Song of the day - 4: Pavement

Someone who keeps the faith sent me an advance promo of Quarantine the Past: The Best of Pavement, and I  remembered that my listening pleasures in the car are limited.

Song of the day - 2: The Deadnotes

Today is a Friday. This means I have the recordings of The Deadnotes (with The Legend!) from the previous week to listen to. This means that - if I'm being honest with you - I rarely listen to anything else. And this was a particularly fine session.

Music to drive by

Music for listening to in the car is way different for music for listening to at home.

ET Recommends - 50: The Art Museums

I kind of had to give a shout-out to these guys.

what I bought today at Rocking Horse

Iñigo at Spain's awesome Munster Records indicated the other day that he thought it was unusual for music critics to actually purchase CDs. So I thought I'd share my buying habits with you once more.

For Brisbane residents, I guess...

The Legend! + The Deadnotes, live at the Troubadour

Thanks to Matt.

(interlude)

Oh yeah, The Legend! + The Deadnotes played last night too.

the legend! and some bunch of anonymous backing band musicians

The videos are here.

Vivian Girls, last night

First, a brief shout-out to Brisbane ladies, Feathers. Only saw half a number, following a rather traumatic 12-hour car drive from near Rockhampton to be at the show, and it seemed a little (dare we say) post-Vivian Girls, but what I saw was easily enough to intrigue. Seemed like my kind of folk. Possibly. Oh, whatever.

Three More Reasons Why I'm Cooler Than You.

Another very short list.

The Deadnotes (with Everett True)

The Deadnotes and Everett True (The Legend!), at an art gallery in Woolloongabba. I probably really oughtn't to post this here, but fuck it. I got on stage and did it, didn't I? Thanks to this fellow here. Now I really ought to go and lose some weight.

My imaginary friends

There's a reason why I love Seattle, you know.

some music.

Thought I'd upload some fine new Deadnotes and, um, Legend! songs for your listening pleasure.

My Last FM Top 20

Week ending...oh, today.

This week's Top 10

It's Saturday. This week's Top 10 is all about the girls. And I'm still in love with the idea of Karen O as perfect pop star.

ET Recommends - 16: The Deadnotes

This is long overdue.
