Track of the Day: “Don’t Get Me Wrong” by Rolls Bayce

To be honest, I can’t remember how I stumbled onto Brisbane’s ROLLS BAYCE, but I do remember seeing the band name and thinking to myself, “you can’t suck with a name like that.” ROLLS BOYCE does not suck. Listen to their song “Don’t Get Me Wrong” below. It’s a fun and catchy tune. It makes me want to double fist martinis and dance around the … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Don’t Get Me Wrong” by Rolls Bayce

Track of the Day: “Sirens” by De̊ǰa (LANKS Remix)

Fuck Everything & Become a Pirate

This picture is how I feel about life in general right now.

FUCK EVERYTHING AND BECOME A PIRATE.

That was on the back of a menu at a fabulous bar/restaurant in Bondi in Australia and I for the life of me cannot remember the name of the bar/restaurant but I also took the other photo below there too because 1) the served Sailor Jerry Rum 2) who doesn’t like tequila when they’re getting their festive on and 3) it says Merry Fuckin Christmas.

The only way that message would have been topped was if it had said: Merry Fuckin Christmas Y’all. Continue reading Fuck Everything & Become a Pirate

Eargasm of the Week: “You Look So Good to Me” by Thief

Holy freaking moly…have you ever just heard a song and just said “whoa”? Like Joey Lawrence “whoa”? That’s the exact statement that came out of my mouth. “WHOA.” I stumbled onto THIEF when fellow musician LANKS tweeted about this song. What I dig about the song is that it starts out with minimal music. Just a beat and a synthetic sound and then the real beat … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “You Look So Good to Me” by Thief

LISTEN: “Return To” by #1 Dads featuring Tom Snowdon

#1 DADS (formerly Dads) is the solo moniker of Tom Iansek, the front man of alt-pop band Big Scary. According to the#1 DADS bio, the project is a way for Iansek to remain creative between Big Scary album cycles and touring, and to find a place for songs that would remain homeless outside of his more well-known outfit. I discovered #1 Dads on THE RIPE COMPILATION VOL 2  … Continue reading LISTEN: “Return To” by #1 Dads featuring Tom Snowdon
