I know it's easy to bitch about commercial radio. It's such an easy target, right? But I've just realised in the last week how utterly and truly shit it is.

I don't listen to the radio. Any radio. Not even Triple J or FBi. Not even 2SER, the station I had a couple of shows on for six months. It's not for any political reasons, like those ( Read more... )

Note to self: stop pissing your life away watching DVDs in your pyjamas on a sunny Saturday when you're living in the centre of the country's biggest city.

OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO VERY BUSY ( Read more... )

Haven't really written here in a while so, since my recommendation of Bat For Lashes was so warmly embraced by so many people, I thought I'd blow in and drop a few more recommendations as though I were someone with any cultural significance.

Oh man, I feel like I'm in uni all over again. I'm sitting in a room with six computers, and it's like being in a miniature computer lab, except that I can't blame the smell on Dungeons & Dragons-playing nerds (I ate a lot of fruit today, okay?). So I've got a job interview on Friday, and I've been trying to sort out my portfolio. NO JOB COULD BE ( Read more... )

Just because a few people have been asking, my Patrick Wolf interview has been delayed until God knows when. I waited by the phone for a few hours, like a twelve-year-old girl waiting for her crush to call, before finally giving up and going home. It was meant to be rescheduled for the next night, but then got delayed until this week, which means ( Read more... )
