Neneh Cherry: Broken Politics

Neneh Cherry Broken Politics Smalltown Supersound Four or five years is often thought a reasonably long time between records, but it’s very swift in the case of Neneh Cherry. She’s never rushed (five solo albums in nearly 30 years) but this follows, somewhat swiftly on the heels of the phenomenal return that was The Blank […]

Massive Attack: Ritual Spirit (ep)

Massive Attack Ritual Spirit (ep) Melankolic Recordings Limited This brand new EP by Massive Attack is only four songs – but it offers so much more, it comes as part of an announcement of a bevy of new music, another EP to follow and a full-lengther straight after that. It’s a big statement – in […]

Stubs: #148 – Kraftwerk – Radio-Activity, Sydney, 2013

It can’t be often you get to see two of the best gigs you could ever see in one night – well it happened to me once. Same band too – Kraftwerk playing their classic albums through one by one. Eight albums across four nights, two shows a night and I got to hear the […]

Stubs: #132 – Kraftwerk – Autobahn, Sydney, 2013

Nothing this good ever happens to me! I got an email out of the blue one day, I was invited to Sydney – to pick a weekend to attend as much as I could of their Vivid Festival. So I picked the opening weekend, Kraftwerk was to perform its series of 8 shows, 8 albums, […]

Ty Segall: Mr Face EP

Ty Segall Mr. Face EP Famous Class It would be a full-time job trying to keep up with Mr Segall who, at 27, plays in half-a-dozen bands or so, releases an album of “new” music (usually fuzz-drenched and stoner-rock-meets-glam-sounding, so determinedly retro as such) and probably still has his own full-time job too. So here […]

The LEGO Movie: Film

The LEGO Movie Directors: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller Village Roadshow Pictures Somehow The LEGO Movie has played the best trick of all – it’s got that thin little message about not playing by the rules, about being creative and doing what you want, building things the way you want to and about sticking it […]

It Was The Best Gig Ever # 11: Kraftwerk, Sydney 2013

Here’s something that never happens – well, has never happened before – EVER – for me. I was flown over to Sydney to see Kraftwerk. Earlier this year. Man! It was the best. I’d have to think of the first Kraftwerk gig as the best of the year in 2013. One of the best ever. […]

The Great Gatsby: Film

The Great Gatsby Director: Baz Luhrmann Village Roadshow Pictures Baz Luhrmann’s version of The Great Gatsby is likely the stupidest film I’ll ever see. And how fitting for it to be in 3D – the same issues with that gimmick apply to Luhrmann’s creative angle: you’re put right in the film and for that to […]

Gig Review: Kraftwerk – Radio-Activity (May 24, Sydney)

Kraftwerk: Radio-Activity Vivid Festival: Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House Friday, May 24 Kraftwerk returns to the stage – barely an hour after performing Autobahn and a bunch of back-catalogue hits.
