(careful, it's not really radio friendly)
It’s no secret that I like The Gametes. The Brisbane four-piece pack more energy into their live set than any other band in this city, as if the Duracell Bunny took Uma Thurman’s line of coke from Pulp Fiction. Taking an obvious influence from their parents’ record stash, The Gametes have successfully blended all the […]
MoreAnd now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC For the longest time I never liked Michael Jackson. Originally it was a pop thing, I wasn’t into that genre of music. As I grew older I started listening to his early solo music, but purely out of interest rather than enjoyment. […]
MoreBut first — a brief message from our sponsor. When you’re looking for a treat, to freshen taste and keep breath sweet. Get double smoothness, flavour too, get the gum that’s double good to chew: Double Mint Gum. Now for our regularly scheduled program featuring Brisbane’s very own WHALEHOUSE. APPLAUSE, MUSIC The security guard mumbles something to […]
MoreAnd now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC There’s always a rapper/s that defines a generation. The 80s had Dr Dre and Ice Cube, the 90s were Tupac and Biggie, the naughties had Eminem and Kanye, and whatever this generation is called has Kendrick Lamar. He’s considered to be the […]
MoreLook, I don’t want to admit it, but I like this song. I never thought I’d listen to Lil Pump, hell I didn’t think I’d vouch for Lil Yachty. But here I am photoshopping my face onto the seventeen-year-old rapper’s face. I didn’t jump on the bandwagon when Gucci Gang came about, to be honest […]
MoreAnd now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chamber) is an album that my mum probably wouldn’t let me listen to if I knew who Wu-Tang Clan were when I was younger. There’s swearing, violent lyrics and a lot of yelling. That’s the surface level review […]
MoreIt is with sadness that Gurrumul’s final album begins. Djarimirri (Child of the Rainbow) is the final chapter in Gurrumul’s musical career as the highest selling Indigenous musician of all time, as well as one of the most important Australian icons, both musically and culturally. Formerly a member of Yothu Yindi, Gurrumul was well known […]
MoreAnd now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC Welcome back to After the Hype. This week I’ve ditched the modern music of the twenty-tens and travelled back to the swinging sixties when communism was the scariest word to mention to a middle-class white man and free love reigned supreme. It […]
MoreAnd now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC Today in AFTER THE HYPE we are looking at Nick Devin’s AFTER THE HYPE series, now in its tenth instalment. Has the hype on this series died down? Was there any hype at all? Are Devin’s ideas on music relevant and can […]
MoreWhen I first listened to Jack White’s new album, Boarding House Reach, I was a bit thrown. I really enjoyed the singles that were released beforehand, especially the thick fuzzy solos and great production. I was on the fence about it and left it for a week or so. It wasn’t until @afantano review of […]
