(careful, it's not really radio friendly)
7 May, 2018 Photography: Mellumae Photography The dimly lit Tivoli is our haven against the dreary autumn night that Brisbane’s heavens have sprung on us. The forecast says showers, appropriate weather for tonight’s headliners, Scotland’s genre-bending aficionados: Belle & Sebastian. Though Wikipedia labels the band as indie-pop, Belle & Sebastian have proven over their strong […]
MoreIt’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. […]

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 […]
MoreI shatter any hopes of you enjoying this book. For months I’ve seen this plastered all over Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, you fucking name it. You know what I’m talking about: the blaring neon orange book that’s so bright it slaps you across the face like an idiot. The book with bold black text saying, “The Subtle […]
MoreAnd now back to our regularly scheduled presentation on Radio Friendly. APPLAUSE, MUSIC My history with Bon Iver is a romantic one. I was thirteen or fourteen on holiday down the coast around New Years where I met a girl. We’d see each other every morning at the beach. All week long she’d look at […]
