Ramblings from the Hooverdust Laboratories
World of Music
Really digging the following releases:
- Fuck Stereogum! Devendra Banhart’s new album ‘Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon’ is quite excellent if you’re in the mood for it.
- Liam Finn ‘I’ll Be Lightning’. Saw him perform most of the songs from his solo release before it’ was released. Now that it is, it’s a solid effort from the bearded little man who can.
- Whitley ‘The Submarine’. The 22 year old from my hometown is playing around the country this month and is well worth the $13 or so for the gig. ‘The Submarine’ has that indie country/great laid back feel to it that should garner him a new well deserved audience.
- Josh Ritter ‘The Historical Conquests Of Josh Ritter’. His 2006 record ‘The Animal Years’ is one of my favourite albums of the last five years so naturally the expectations were quite high. This one doesn’t quite reach the greatness but there’s still moments of genius throughout.
Upcoming Gigs:
- The Bamboos @ The Epsy (w/ Jackson Jackson, Labjacd, Bluejuice & heaps more apparently) (7th Sep). Tonight should bring some serious funk!
- Silversun Pickups @ Ding Dong (16th Sep). The album is great, the gig sold out extremely fast and it’s at Ding Dong so it should be a very, very awesome night.
- Parklife @ Birrarung Marr (22nd Sep). International DJ’s galore and I’m shooting this one for a mag. Bring it!
- Built to Spill @ The Corner (29th Dec). Falls sideshow brilliance to be expected. I’m sure more gigs will pop up before this one but I wanna get my tickets early (on sale 21st Sep).
Medellin Trailer
The 4th season of Entourage started a few weeks back, the first episode freakin’ greatness with a behind-the-scenes look at the shooting of Vince’s passion project ‘Medellin’. Watching Billy Walsh go insane was almost as good as seeing Coppola during his ‘Hearts of Darkness’ filmmaking phase. Walsh is currently pissed at the trailer being leaked onto youTube and wouldn’t you know it, it’s actually on there! Gotta give the Entourage team kudos for fantastic Internet marketing. God I love this show!

Jaden Smith is the new Karate Kid
I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.

Wall-E
Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!50 Amazing Gig Posters
