I went to see Eskimo Joe support Portland OR indie band 'Stars of Track & Field' at Empty Bottle on Saturday night. I am officially an uber fan of these guys, and have been since the beginning. Frankly, they kick arse live, and if you ever get the opportunity to catch them, ensure you do! They work a crowd, be it music festivals and large venues in Australia, or in an intimate venue such as The Annandale (NSW) or Empty Bottle (IL). One word I always use to describe them is faultless. Chatted to Kav on my way out and he was saying they were hoping to be back in Feb/March for a more extensive headlining tour. Good luck in New York tonight, lads!
So here is 'Black Fingernails, Red Wine' live at LIVE EARTH in Sydney, 2007.

Here is the new single from one of my fav Sydney bands, Faker. I first came across these guys when I was feelancing for a small PR agency in Sydney's Inner West, and their management company were located above us. This is their new single 'This Heart Attack' from their second album, (released 10 November in Australia) Be The Twilight (congrats Nathan :)!).

Crocodile, the new release from Underworld.
My track of the week.

One of my loves is trashy euro dance. Some tracks are just so slickly produced, with the correct formula that just makes you wanna shake it. I especially love the video clips accompanying them. Poor Therese is struggling all throughout this clip...he..sorry..she's a real lil trooper!! Here's her European summer hit 'Feelin Me'

Get yo sexy on...

Some weeks ago a discussion took place at the dinner table between LP and I (with poor Niner sitting with us shaking his head) about songs that just simply DEFINITELY put one in the mood, if ya know what I mean!

10: Mixed Up - the Cure
09: I love It - Sneaky Sound System
08: Cherish The Day - Sade
07: Fastlove - George Michael
06: (Goodbye Country) Hello Nightclub - Groove Armada
05: Closer (actually the whole of 'Downward Spiral') - NIN
04: Get To Know Ya - Maxwell (actually most anything that Maxwell does!Mmmmm...)
03: Dummy - Portishead
02: Buzzin' Fly Vol 1. - Ben Watt
01: Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack

And to close this post, here is the new track from Moloko's Roisin Murphy, 'Let Me Know'

Here is the new video '2 Hearts' from Kylie Minogue's new album 'X', released Nov 12. Sensational new single, and album! (it has been on constant rotation on my ipod all morning...makes for a very good Wednesday!)This Lil Aussie's prediction...the single and album will be HUGE!!

Old Blighty leads the way in GLB (& maybe T) rights!

LONDON (AFP) - The government announced Monday plans to outlaw the incitement of hatred against homosexuals.

"It is a measure of how far we have come as a society in the last ten years that we are now appalled by hatred and invective directed at people on the basis of their sexuality," Justice Secretary Jack Straw said.

"It is time for the law to recognise this."

Straw said that the new legislation would protect gay men, lesbians and bisexuals.

He added that the government would consider arguments on whether it should be extended to include disabled and transgendered people, and would proceed "if a case can be made".

Progress is being made FINALLY to help ensure the safety of ALL Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and HOPEFULLY Transgender folk world wide!

Ok, you two gorgeous things, HAPPY HAPPY 2nd (Emma) and 4th (Chloe) BIRTHDAYS!!!

Timbaland feat. One Republic - Apologise

I never tire of this! Happy Friday!!

Upon listening to a promo version of Jennifer Lopez's new album Brave, I have decided that it is actually quite funkily good! She is keeping up with the styles! Woeful Marc Anthony crap however...remains disturbing....
Wanna share my two fav (and really the only Jennifer Lopez tracks I listen too), Feelin' So Good from her debut 'On the 6' and Do It Well from her newie, 'Brave'
