Clubfeet - Gold on Gold - 7.7. Chuck that in ya rankings.

I once saw Sid from The Vasco Era AND Patience from The Grates in the gold area... pretty amazing.

Courtney Barnett residency starts this Tuesday in the front bar at The Tote... pretty cool list of supports. Should be a good vibe! Check out details here.

Clubfeet. Funny and awesome. Haven't seen them live so I'm looking forward to these gigs!

We've all got shitty records that we loved at one time or another. For most of us these albums now gather dust in a shelf or in a box at home. Sid's shitty records (and the good ones) are what informed his song-writing, for better or worse those personal tastes are documented in his own writing and recording.

Sid's honesty in this interview is such a breath of fresh air. I reckon 95% of bands start out by aping whatever is ''cool'' for them and their buddies. But for some reason no-one ever admits that. He's been trying to find a musical and lyrical voice a over three albums and 10 years and he's almost there. For some its easy but for others its a journey, a compelling one.

The Vasco Era are one of my favourite bands to see in Australia.

''Place Called Love'' was the best song off Little Red's last album. Timeless good shit!

This album hasn't left my turntable since record store day! Despite its brevity it is still such a lovely journey.

'Nullabor' is outrageously gorgeous. To me it feels like a sequel or prequel or cousin to Dick Diver's Keno.

Temper Trap are a guilty pleasure. I like that clip!

Mind you, Barry Tuckwell has been nominated for more Grammys than Wolfmother and Cut Copy combined. Undeniably Australia's greatest ever French Horn player.
