We haven't been as consistent in our reviewing as we'd like to be. Our previous analyses and Musings posts have put a spur on our behind to start pumping out like the good old times. Hopefully, this is the first of some consistency from myself.

After the loss of one of our favourite Australian bands, The Middle East, it's made me appreciate debut albums a whole lot more. Strangely enough, I am still inclined to despise them: check out my post on Band Ephemeralty and you'll know why…

Anyhow, here's a review for the aforementioned title, from soloist Ernest Greene.…

This is the second of my song analyses. Together with my counterpart, we've totaled four. The first one was an newie, the second is a classic:

This is not a review. This is a Highly Evolved first. This is a Song Analysis. One of four prototypes we hope will become a staple of the blog. This one features an analysis of Liars' song "Scissor", off their album Sisterworld. Here's where some feedback'd be helpful, seeing as we're new to this. *Note: these are also salvaged from our Pop Music & Culture courses*. Cheers.

The sixth post in a series of short articles pertaining to the music industry and those that undermine it, and those they undermine. My counterpart and I recently studied under Geoff King at RMIT in his Popular Music and Culture Course, and realising that we didn't want our weekly reading responses to go to waste, we thought we'd publish them up on the blog and finish with four song analyses …

I hope everyone enjoys a change from the norm.

Cheers!

Well, she's back. After four years since her last studio album, and two-and-a-half years in the making - in a church - "Let England Shake" is artist Polly Jean Harvey's war-narrative masterpiece.
