Q: How am I writing this you ask?
A: Magic. (true)
I suppose I brought it on myself. NO. Actually I'm going to blame this wonderous blog -
Go. Go and listen to its many wonders. Just don't try and download them all at once. They share my appreciation of Ty Segall and garage punk in all its forms. Especially try Moonhearts, Beat Happening and Soledad Brothers. But everything there is worth a spin. If you like King Khan, Segall or any of the above, delve away.

Also, Sydneysider Jack Ladder has just uploaded his new effort to Soundcloud. Part Nick Cave, part Matt Berninger, part horror country (my favourite genre), part dark wave jesus & mary chainesque.... its all parts interesting.
Listen here.

And Anchors new album, Bad Juju, is out now... and streaming here. Its great, and they have a song called Buscemi... which in the face of this recent onslaught of these delightful pictures, I think is well overdue.
Ps. Untitled IS a cover of Us by Regina Spektor. Wonderous.

And a rant to finish with. Slightly off-topic, but someone has to listen to me.

I CANNOT STAND THESE ADS.
If there is one certain thing in this crazy universe, it is that we do not need any more people glorifying stupidity. Smart is creative, adventurous, curious, questioning, quantifying, optimistic and powerful. Allowing society to label you so that you can label yourself and to take decision-making out of your hands is the first step in creating a world without critical thinking.
And that is scary.

Goodnight. By tomorrow my computer will be a black screen with green writing. Maybe I can play Pieces of Eight again?
