Australia has gone through several music crazes in recent years. We’ve seen a massive rise in Aussie electro, and now maybe a shift in that towards synth pop.
What’s next?
Asking “what’s next” when it comes to the music industry is like asking what the numbers for the next three lottery draws will be: it’s nigh-impossible.
Then again, the...
They Just Don't Get It →
simplicityiscomplicated:
They just don’t get it. The idea isn’t to recreate the PC. It’s to re-invent it. File-systems and multitasking are the problems. They’re barriers to ordinary people learning to use computers — they’re not intuitive concepts.
I ask where exactly are the intuitive concepts in a tablet that relies heavily on a computer to function properly, as well as being unable to do...

Hot On The Heels Of Apple iPad Unveiling,...
wondertonic:
Just a day after Apple captured the attention of tech world with its groundbreaking new iPad, a high-powered mobile device similar to the iPhone but larger, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced a new rival product called “Just A Huge Fucking Zune.”
“You know what, fuck you guys,” said Ballmer in the opening moments of his keynote address. “I’ve given you tablet computers for...

Gentrification Ruined SimCity
wondertonic:
I moved to SimCity back in 1993. Back then it was a raw place. There were barely any police departments and you never wanted to get home after midnight. But even though the neighborhood was dangerous and the property values were perpetually low due to the proximity to a nuclear power plant, it was bursting with culture. SimCity was for the working people and the artists.
But then...

Yeah okay Australia Day celebrates genocide whatever if we celebrated the day Australia became a legit country we’d be doubling up on New Year’s Day. This way we get two holidays. Australians like holidays, and dislike having them taken away more. Shut the fuck up about ‘this horrible place’ and grow some balls.
Too bad:

How I celebrated "Australia Day"
I got drunk whilst trying to teach Brazilians how to say “Australia” with a bogan accent.
The results are better than hearing triple j.

I flew here, you grew here
When it comes to appearances and the Western World, I say with little hubris that I am in a pretty lucky postion. I has brown eyes and hair that aren’t specifically too dark, a moderate build, olive skin that passes as white in most nations and facial features that appear more European than most.
In short, I can pass off as a member of most races. And in a country like Australia, when...
Massive Earthquake Reveals Entire Island... →
“Of course, there have been rumors in the past about a long-forgotten Caribbean nation whose people struggle every day to survive, live in constant fear of a corrupt government, and endure such squalor and hunger that they have resorted to eating dirt. But never did we give them much thought… Had it not been for this earthquake, I doubt we would have ever noticed Haiti at...

Who’s the twin, who’s the faggot and who’s the illegitimate sister?
Should I chicken out and say they know who they are?
No. But I’ll only tell you that the faggot is clearly Conor.

So, being indie as fuck - as it as tough a commitment as Pitchfork makes it out to be?
No. Just about every white late-teen/early-twenties person that isn’t an Ed Hardy douche pulls it off subconsciously. Vampire Weekend are Number One and anything can be considered “ironic”. Even Tiësto (Read: Coachella Lineup).

whats the best advice you ever got ?XD
I’m a big fan of the whole “You are taught your best advice as a young child”. So probably something forced into me at an unconscious age.
That said, I give you this:

…with all that ‘walking to the stage’ going on at the Golden Globes, it was interesting to catch who was sitting front and centre. Was it multiple nominee Meryl Streep? Maybe lifetime achievement winner Martin Scorcese? Of course not:
It was George Lucas
Fucker.
I can vouch for this.
