Some Tuesday listening suggestions: Julie Peel, Boca Chica & Concept: Bravery
The above photo is not me, but just someone who I might just look like after this weekend. I have been a bit remiss in my music blogging the last couple of days on this past labour day weekend – a long weekend without a music blog playlist!?!? What was I thinking, a long weekend…

Matthew Ryan should be famous
I don’t know why I ever go without listening to Matthew Ryan for more than a few days. While I don’t full appreciate 100% of his stuff, 90% of it is frickin’ great with at least 50% of it kicking the shite out of anyone else, anywhere. Why am I saying this? Well I was…

Talons’ “Songs for Babes” sees official release!

Phosphorescent throw back: Black Cab Session version of “Wolves”
Just being unemployed for a few days, so I am at my computer (without corporate network restrictions), so let’s put another post up on the blog!!

Doby Watson’s “Twenty Two” shines on Orchid Collective
So the unassuming Orchid Collective surprises again. This label keeps on churning out solid talent – why are not more people falling over themselves?? I guess it shows that the general public finds all it’s taste in it’s mouth. But that is for another time…. The “Collective” have provided myself with a full roster of…
