An admission

Written by Rikki. Posted on February 4, 2010. Filed under Fashion, Music. 4 Comments.

I have cracked… I’ve tried so hard to hold out and hate on Gaga but I think the time has come to admit that I have come around from hating her to kinda liking/loving her… This is hard for me but lately she just looks so god dam good… THE GRAMMYS I ASK YOU????

All one off Armani Prive… Pretty amazing, it’s totally cray-cray as CC calls it but unlike poor old Kelis’s efforts Gag really pulls this off I think.. I’m digging her super old world glamour makeup (those eyebrows rule) and the yellow tips in her hair… Is everybody else really feeling the candy coloured hair we are being bombarded with lately??? Anyway I think the turning point was when Bad Romance came out, yes I really like that song, and up until that point she hadn’t put anything out that I’d enjoyed… also my friend Luke has been bombarding me with Gaga pics on my email, pointing out amazing outfits and photo shoots… Maybe it’s not Gags I love but her stylist hmmmm…

CC’s Summer Jams

Written by Community College. Posted on November 8, 2009. Filed under Awesomeness, Music. Tagged , , . 4 Comments.

Ahhh this weekend has me turning my frown upside down HARD! I love this weather. So so good. It’s got me all excited about Summer all over again! And what’s Summer without Summer Jams right? When it comes to Summer Jams the music I like to listen to falls under two categories. a) ‘tanning music’ which could also be described as ’stripper music’ it’s all about Kool Keith, Busta, Fabolous, Drake all that good horn-dog shit. You really need that music while tanning to pump up all those sexual juices, so when you’re getting too hot and wanna bail you go “NO! I NEED TO LOOK STRIPPER HOT, TOUGHEN UP!” I’m sure this would also work for ‘working out’ but I wouldn’t have any idea about that kinda shit. Haha. The second kinda music I like to listen to is kinda cruisey laid back stuff. Like the Beach Boys (cliche but good, Don’t Worry Baby is one of my all time favourite songs EVER)

Isn’t it just dreamy? I think it would make a good wedding dance song (yes ovaries make me think of these things) especially if you got married in Hawaii! Ahhh enchanting! haha Read More »

 

Tiger Style

Wu Tang gets cancelled.

Wu Tang gets rebooked.

Wu Tang are playing three days after Nas. In Melbourne.

Fuck! Anyone want to convince Biggie to come back from the Dead and play inbetween? That would be top three in three days.

Anyway, I feel it necessary to gloat that I have already seen Wu-Tang,  in San Francisco, on the same bill as Rage Against the Machine in 2007. But to be honest I was so drunk after drinking my way through Public Enemy, Blaqstarr, Jean Grae, Cypress Hill, EPMD and whoever else was playing that Wu is a very happy but very blurry memory. And the Seventh Letter exhibition we attended afterwards is pretty much completely unrecallable. But that last weekend in the states was a pretty epic way to wrap a pretty epic holiday in NYC and SF.

But back to Wu, I am looking forward to doing all again. So far GZA, Raekwon, RZA, Ghostface, U-God and Inspectah are confirmed and apparently more are waiting on Visas. If Meth doesn’t make it there is no way it will be as good but Raekwon is a Melbourne first and that will be fucking banging, especially with Ghost. Cuban Links anyone?

More details here, keep checking Mops at Kompound because he seems to know everything way before me.

Also in October this man is in town, for Clash of the Titans which I can’t ever find a flyer that works for but you can check out some details on 12oz Prophet.

Karaoke Mania!

Written by Hayley. Posted on July 27, 2009. Filed under Mayorette, Music. Tagged . 5 Comments.

Well, not really. I’ve just updated my ultimate Karaoke song.

I’ve never done karaoke before – I have a SHOCKING voice. A while ago I even considered getting singing lessons just so I didn’t frighten myself when I heard my own echo in the shower. But I’ve always kept a list of songs that I’d be prepared to belt out if given the chance and enough Tequila.

So why have I changed my #1 Karaoke choice from Read More »

 

Love and War

Written by Sophie D. Posted on July 15, 2009. Filed under Music. Tagged , . 2 Comments.

I eagerly await pretty much anything that has to do with Mark Ronson, he has worked on some of my favourite albums and produced for heaps of my favourite artists in the past few years; Amy Winehouse, Kaiser Chiefs, Adele, Lily Allen, Wale, Santogold and of course delivered Version, possibly one of my favourite records ever. And now he has produced Daniel Merriweather’s debut album, Love & War,  and again I am absolutely mesmorised by this record.

This isn’t a review per se because frankly who wants to listen to me pretend I know anything about music, I just really love this album, the production, the songs, his voice, his lyrics and I hope to fuck we see him perform (with Mark and the Dap Kings of course) as soon as possible. If you haven’t heard any tracks from this album head to his Myspace and have a listen, well worth the time and effort. I have a feeling I’m going to be listening to a lot of this over the next few weeks.
