'Adelaide': The Movie
We all know Nigel Koop is nuts - remember when he shaved the moustache part of his beard? That was creepy. Then there was the time he recorded a "live album" at the Jade Monkey that was just him dressed as Jesus reciting dirty limericks. One time he recorded six months' worth of his own farts and mixed them into a full-length album.
Claire Incorruptible
Perky perky sales shop staff really do suck the big one. I could do without the ones that turn their noses up at me, but even worse are the ones that get all up in ya grill with their prying questions: Where'd you get your shoes from? What you up to this weekend? Have you got the day off today? Where do you work? What size are you? Want to try it on? Ahh leave me alone.

Now, we don't know much about this "dance" music, but we know some of you whippets go batshit crazy for the stuff. And who could blame you? Stereosonic is the party where no-one rags on your muscle tee, and having fun isn't punishable by the hipster supreme court. Of course, all this comes at a price: $127 plus douchery - but they'll be watching the Cobrasnake watch Laurent Garnier.
Event: Marathon
Stimulus: Controversy
CO OP Store
In 2008 there was a place just off Hindley Street called Value King. It wasn't your standard Hindley Street spot. They didn't sell booze or drugs, there was very little gratuitous nudity and you didn't go there to dance (although many an exhibition there turned into a party). The store and gallery was something special.
Pop Crimes, Rowland S. Howard
On Pop Crimes, Rowland S. Howard's second solo album, there is a level of considered restraint present. There is a tension that runs throughout. It appears as a wire pulled so taut that it would be dangerous if it were to be released.
And that is the beauty of this album. The interplay between the classic pop stylings of the songs and their darker underbelly.
Pavement Are Coming
The never-ending cycle of touring bands bypassing Adelaide inevitably gets us down, but don't look so despondent now. Those lovable slackers from California just gave us proof that sometimes the stars can align perfectly.
Pavement are reuniting for some one-off shows - old news. But what were the chances they would be playing those in Australia? Pretty slim, Jim.
