Pretty disappointed by the lack of Eurovision coverage this week. They’ve even got Albanian Grimes!
It’s well documented that Satan is Australian
Well isn’t this just the loveliest thing.
I’ve got tickets to see them here in Australia at the very end of their tour. By the time they get all the way down here in November I’m expecting some ultra-deep cuts, or the Sesame Street theme song or something.
Why can’t I reply to freshie? No button 
Anyway cool, I’ve misunderstood a little and made my point in slightly the wrong place. I’ve got no problems with the actual writing of it and I’m glad this thing is now a thing. Hopefully the well-reasoned comments outshine the rest in the end. Also world peace and a new OutKast album.
And that’s exactly where it falls over for me. I love Grimes because she made an ace record of music that I find exciting and, at times, beautiful.
The author is trying to tell me that I love Grimes because she exists as a personification of the online/offline gap, a gap that so confuses me, and she is a pure white guiding light in the grey haze of asexuality and the self-referential loops of cyber culture, a false siren that will desert me forever when the Santigold album drops.

It was the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival, which started in Melbourne and spread around Australia, to New Zealand and now Singapore. It’s a great festival and it’s double great that Singapore gets a slice.
Are you ok dude?
“Woah, that’s much bigger than I thought it would be.” – Me after posting this photo/going inside the TARDIS. Sorry guys!
JV is such a joker, pulling a Lady Gaga showing up in costume like that…
I love the last three pics all together. It looks like Neil Young is saying something amazingly racist to A$AP Rocky and R. Kelly at a party.
Drink it Michael Musto.
UPDATE: Turns out Chris would like to clarify that his comments were directed at the soundcheck people and not Kanye:

On the plus side, at least it seems like they are buddies. On the minus side, it made a large part of my previous comment totally irrelevant. Also, Soundgarden vs Soundguys isn’t going to get nearly as many pageviews, is it? Way to go Chris, you jerk!
Oh my gosh, it’s my moment! Time to step up as Australian correspondent, I was there and this is what happened:
Facts: The two main stages are side-by-side and alternate. Soundgarden were playing and then as soon as they finished Kanye was supposed to start next door. What Chris was complaining about was Kanye’s soundcheck, which was bleeding over onto the Soundgarden stage loud enough for the band (and some of the crowd) to hear. That’s when and why he made the ‘retarded children’ call.
After they finished Kanye was supposed to start straight away but was 45 minutes late. It had rained heavily for a while just before, and it looked like they had to rearrange a bunch of the speakers on the stage. Kanye eventually showed up, apologised for being late, played way over time to make up for it, generally killed it.
Opinion: Having Kanye’s soundcheck mess with the Soundgarden show is pretty shitty, but calling another artist’s music ‘retarded children’ is also pretty shitty. He almost definitely didn’t mean it that way but it was still shitty. Also, kind of bizarre considering Chris did that godawful stuff with Timabaland but still apparently can’t understand Kanye West? Oh well. They are playing together at least twice more in Sydney and Melbourne so stay tuned you guys!

This is so much more enjoyable when I imagine they are singing to a framed photo of Amy Klein.
The Grammys have always had trouble with tricky concepts like ‘time’ and ‘music’.
Best film for me was Autoluminescent, dude was Dracula with a guitar. Everyone go see it and cry a little bit at the end.
Digging it a little bit first time around, but I’ve got a feeling this one is a grower.
‘Brats’ is so great.
