I love seeing my favourite singers and bands live, particularly ones who play in intimate venues, and especially ones I’ve seen once or twice before. Joshua Radin is no exception – I saw him about six years ago at The Espy, and then four years ago at The Forum, and both shows were fantastic. Last night Radin played at the Corner Hotel in Richmond and it was great to see him play a small venue with a cosy crowd of loyal fans.
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for new music, as I noted here. New Mumford & Sons, new Florence + the Machine, and new Of Monsters and Men, all some of my favourite bands. It makes me hopeful that their new albums are super awesome (but no pressure, guys), because I’ve loved their previous… Continue reading ->
It’s been an exciting two weeks in music for me. Two of my favourite bands released new songs, and I went to a gig last night at the Corner Hotel here in Melbourne to see one of my favourite singers! So of course, I need to share this with you, because you NEED to have… Continue reading ->
Photo credit: Take 40 Everyone has a singer that they love, that they would recommend to people over and over again, that they wait years and years to see live in concert. For me, that’s Sara Bareilles. I started listening to her music in about 2007, when I saw someone recommend that week’s free iTunes… Continue reading ->
I heard a couple of songs recently on Triple J and they’ve stuck with me. So, of course it’s my duty to share them with you. Coincidentally, both songs are from winners of the Triple J Unearthed 2013 Falls Festival Competition, which I was unaware of. Anyway, here you go! Melbourne singer Meg Mac has… Continue reading ->
Both my sisters mentioned this song to me last weekend and I hadn’t heard it. They mentioned it because we are all fans of Paolo Nutini, and they think George Ezra has a similar sound. Of course, as soon as they mentioned the song, I started hearing it multiple times during the day, and I… Continue reading ->
I ended last week with music, and I’m starting this week with it as well. Sometimes you just need a lot of music to block out all the other stuff, am I right? This post is, as you can tell from the title, all covers. I love cover songs. When they’re done well, they’re often… Continue reading ->
I heard this song, Stay With Me, a couple of weeks ago on one of the Foxtel music channels and dropped what I was doing to see who it was. Sam Smith’s voice reminds me so much of any number of Motown singers, but with a slightly modern edge to it. It’s so cool and smooth…. Continue reading ->
April has been manic, hence the lack of blogging the past couple of weeks. Plus I’ve had a head cold for about a week, so there’s that. On the plus side, I’ve had time to listen to some new music, so here’s what’s on my iPod playlist at the moment! 400 Lux – Lorde I… Continue reading ->
I am so torn as to whether I should buy a ticket to go and see Ellie Goudling in Melbourne in May. This song, which I only heard for the first time on the weekend, is slowly tipping me into the “yes” column. So sweet. Until next time,
