We’ve all most likely had a chubby bubby moment of affection towards Coldplay at some point. Or at least I have. If you’ve never seen Chris Martin c/o live before, here is your chance to win tickets to an intimate, small gig with the guys in Sydney 16th February, 2012. MAX,Channel [V] and 2DayFM are giving us all a chance to win the experience to froth our ears off at the intimate concert here or here, by simply describing what Coldplay song you would need with you if you were stranded on a desert island and why you would need just that specific song. I’ve entered and I’m crossing my fingers to get my hands on those tickets. So should you.
God bless Santigold. Old-skool M.I.A. vibes all over the place and I like it. This makes me want to shake my behind like there’s no tomorrow all night long despite the horribly dull, grey and wet skies.
Sweet Jesus! Jimmy Barnes may just have killed my dream of wanting to go to Cuba. Enough said.
Plenty around Sydney-twon saying they’re on their way out after Field Day’s disappointing performance.
I dunno - still making mad videos and the new album is a bit of a grower…
She arouses me, even as a raw heart eating nymph-monster… what can i say?

Our very own Queen of Cool Starjumps has punched out an incredible mixtape to help us enjoy this warm weather: Sunshine In Motion (Part 1). You can catch her everywhere from the Ivy, to the Passage, to Kit & Kaboodle, to Oxford Art Factory. Enjoi!

Good things come to those who wait! And we’re thrilled to announce that the first Mrs Bishop single will be available on Itunes this Friday. The lads have been working hard singing angelically and writing, with Tony Espie (Cut Copy, The Holidays etc) helping on the mix, the EP will be available for your brain in March.
So here is the track and a little bonus video of the last time the guys were in at FBI doing a cover or two.
Mrs Bishop - Broken Wing

The latest SOSUEME DJs Mixtape is now available for download and iPod upload. Always a hit, their Summer Mix does not disappoint. Get into it and inject some sunshine into your soul!

Props to Miss Alison Wonderland who has put together a killer version of 360’s hit Boys Like You. Get ready for more remixes, originals and some seriously exciting stuff to be announced in the coming weeks. For now though, wrap your earholes around this.

The east-coast is set to be taken by storm and graced by two of the nation’s hottest new artists - Pluto Jonze and Cub Scouts. Be prepared when “Hurricane Evie” hits your part of town in February / March.
In case you missed it, here’s the video for his latest single “Plastic Bag In A Hurricane” which has been getting LOADS of love on Triple J and indie stations around the country.
Big Day Out 2012 is just around the corner and the sideshows are ready to set and go (if not even already started). Which one of the fair bit of shows available - sold out or not - are you kids most keen on to crash?! Mine’s standing in between the following three.
Kasabian
Girl Talk
Royksopp
Face off boys and girls. Maybe I’m having a lucky no.3!
I am truly jellybeans of y’all that managed to score tickets for The Whitest Boy Alive at Keystone Festival Bar during Sydney Festival this coming Saturday. By the looks of a show they put on in Berlin in 2010, having Kakkmaddafakka raging the stage whilst performing ‘Burning’ looks and sounds absolutely awesome.
This made my day. I’d pay to see this guy with M83 any (!) day. Hi-la-ri-ous.
Brooklyn indie electro-pop duo Chairlift return to Australian shores this year set to entrance audiences with a string of dates on the national Laneway Festivals and exclusive sideshow performances in Sydney and Melbourne.
First capturing the attention of international listeners with their breakout single ‘Bruises’ and debut record ‘Does You Inspire You’ in 2008. They displayed a range of uncanny pop sensibilities, combining polished production with an other-worldly gaze similar to fellow Brooklyn experimentalists MGMT, Yeasayer and Mixel Pixel.
Previewing works taken from their upcoming album, catch the duo playing their exclusive Sydney sideshow at Oxford Art Factory on Tues 31 January.
Supporting Chairlift on the night will be the lovely Elizabeth Rose (LIVE) and Frames (DJ set).
Tickets $38.50 + bf via Moshtix.
Anyone else but me getting wee excited about New Order at Future Music Festival in a couple of months? I grew up with this (what I thought was weird but hip-shakable when I was five years old) having a dad that played me some serious New Order mixed up with a lot of The Ramones, Kraftwerk, Blondie and The Clash amongst others. Papa, I’ll make you proud and front row this thing. You kids should definitely join for some 80s electrovibes. It’s the best! The Sydney part of Future Music Festival is hold on 10th March this year at Royal Randwick Racecourse.

The clock is ticking down the days for you kids’ chance to vote for your favourite songs in Triple J’s annual Top 100. 2011 was one hell of a year for music. And it will show. Predictions are that it’s highly likely and almost impossible for that song by Gotye (you all know exactly which one I mean) is up for the gold. However, there’s still been a lot of amazing - both known and unknown - acts creating some amazing sweet n’ sour tunes smoothening our sense of hearing. One of our favourites, which we’re crossing our fingers for to reach Top 10 is the amazingly sweet gentleman below. Yeah, you go Pluto Jonze!

Things have been a tad been slower in the office today, as we’ve been spending most of our time writing up a budget to see how many of us get to go to the just announced Coachella 2012.
In a new, even bigger 2 week format, the line-up this year is beyond ridiculous: Radiohead, Dr Dre & Snoop, Bon Iver, The Black Keys, At The Drive-In, Miike Snow, M83, SBTRKT, Pulp, Refused (another band reforming!) etc etc etc, and that’s just the tip of this gargantuan iceberg.
There goes the new years resolution to save money.
“ATTENTION! To whom it may concern: AT THE DRIVE-IN will be breaking their 11year silence. THIS STATION IS …. NOW ….OPERATIONAL".
Sweet, sweet words. One of the best bands of the late 90’s / early 00’s are back. Having split amid acrimonious circumstances in 2001, At The Drive-In have tweeted that they’re reforming - for real. With Sparta dead in the water and Mars Volta eating itself over and over, it’s about fucking time.
check out the video of them playing Arcarsenal at the 2001 Big Day Out. Still gives me chills.
It’s when I hear/see beats and visuals like this I am proud of being Swedish. Icona Pop feels like a new, upcoming verison of Robyn. Except there’s two of them. Lucky as I am (or maybe just because I happened to be homebound in Swedenland at that point) I saw them live in June. The girls are amazing. Raw. Beautiful. And I love it!
Sydney Festival is always an entertaining part of the loose aftermath of the swap from the old to the new. Being years. With the filth picked up from the ground post-Field Day, The Domain is once again ready for the Opening Festival Night tomorrow. This year’s the night brings on acts such as Gurrumul, Washington and Manu Chao. Expect some magic moments in The Domain.

Arcade Fire’s original of The Suburbs enchanted a whole world of music. This cover doesn’t make me think less of the already amazing song. At all. In fact, I love love love this verison. Bringing a somewhat electro-synth dark, chillwave side to it all. Have your eyes open for more tunes from Norwegian beauty and femme fatale (yes, she’s a girl) Mr. Little Jeans - I’ve got a good feeling about this one!
This NYD Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay is back for Field Day. However, the difference from last year’s Justice performance is that they have released another album and (!) they’re doing it live this time. So you kids that’s heading to the Domain for a New Year-bender (or not), make sure you catch the breathtaking finale. I’m convinced it’s going to be just as crazynuts as last year’s wrap-up.
but have faith in the of Justice
Cudos and lots of respect to Smokin’ Joe Mekhael who is on good pace to break the world record of a ridonculous 5 days and 19 hours DJ-set. Last night me and some mates went down to The Empire Hotel in Kings Cross to celebrate Joe’s 100th hour of spinning records. What this guy is doing is incredible. You guys whining over a 5 hour set from now on, go shove a banana up your nostril. (If still going,) Smokin’ Joe is breaking the world record at 9:34PM AEST tonight. So you party kids up for some proper haus disco mombasa madness this fine Wednesday, pop in and up to celebrate with the rest of us. And you lazy peeps out there, you just have to obligatory stream it online instead. This is going to happen. And it’s gonna be wild. You go Glen Coco! We love and respect you. #woooooooo

Just because I think the video is amazeballs. Say hello to my little friends, schoolyard mafiosos.
The year of TwoThousand + Eleven is on the verge of being counted as the past. But we all know a new year means new possibilities, adventures and happenings. Such as the 2012 Sydney Festival. What’s been known as Beck’s Bar (located at Hyde Park Barracks) have now changed a teeny-weeny bit and been suaved up to Keystone Festival Bar. Falcona DJs Devola and Kristy Lee has been preciously chosen as late night DJ-support to Asa & Féfé who takes over the Barracks on the 18 January, 2012 with the night called So Frenchy, So Chic. I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be a night filled with lots of soul, funk, blues and afrobeats. So you put that date down in that little calendar of yours with the fattest marker pen you can find, and then you come down shake some booty to the rhythm of awesomeness.
Flight Facilities new music video for Foreign Language is truly awesome. With some old school James Bond-style and sweet beats you can’t go wrong. Obviously. Just take a look at the schmanzy clip below. Recognize the spots Sydney-siders?
If you peeps out there haven’t heard of these guys before, leave everything (lunch, meeting, coffee, bed, I don’t care) and check them out pronto. The awesome Brazilian band Cansei De Ser Sexy is touring Australia for Falls Festival - playing both Marion Bay and Lorne - followed by Southbound in Western Australia. Luckily enough, the sassy ladies in CSS will be in Sydney bringing their debaucheries to The Standard for a gig on 3 January 2012. From previous experience at their bananza gig at Oxford Art Factory last year between the Big Day Out tour dates, Lovefoxxx and the other ladies will put on one hell of a show. Despite the unfortunate event of band member Adriano Cintra leaving CSS due to internal conflicts and disagreements, the girls demonstrates why the band is still f****** awesome. We’re praying for crazy crowdsurfing and tequila free-poured bottle shots all over again. Peace.
