I’ve finally given up on my newsletter. Is this a data-driven decision, or the fact that I feel a lot better writing an article over sending an email? Who knows. Well, I do. I don’t think that newsletters are working for me, because I don’t have a big enough audience.
Of course, newsletters do work for a lot of people! I think it’s more reflective of the interest in music journalism as a whole in Australia. I’m trying to separate how I judge the blog from numbers, which was actually quite easy over the last couple of weeks. I published 4 interviews, as well as covering some great tracks. Hopefully, at least one person out there found a nwe track they enjoy. That’s all any writer can ask for, right?
Article Of The Week: PREMIERE: Ok Sure And Osopho Team Up For The Haunting ‘Blind’
Ok Sure and Osopho’s new track, Blind, is Satanic. I was gripped by it from the first few seconds, and if you’re looking to soundtrack your next ritual, then put this on.
Lucy Sugerman Throws Haymakers At Her Ex On ‘Golden Boy’
Canberra’s Lucy Sugerman is one of the rising stars of Australia’s music industry. Golden Boy sees her handing out some seriously brutal insults, but because the song is so well-written, you’ll have to listen closely to work out who she’s angry at.
INTERVIEW: Ange Has The ‘Antidote’ For Toxicity
Get rid of the negative energy in your life. Sydney-based singer Ange is all about doing what’s best for you, and I got some tips from her on how to ensure you’re living your best life.
Sampology Is Nostalgic On The Soaring ‘Memories In Flight’
Meanjin/Brisbane producer Sampology is a fan of The Avalanches, as am I. This is the first taste of Sampology’s upcoming debut album, and Memories In Flight will make you feel like you’re floating on clouds.
Eleftherios And Jimmy Harwood Lift The Mood On ‘Me N I’
Melbourne musicians Eleftherios and Jimmy Harwood teamed up for Me N I, and if you’re looking to pick yourself up after a hard day, then spin this. It’ll do the job.
INTERVIEW: Ivori's Vulnerable New Single Will Be ‘On Ur Mind’
Ivori has had a big couple of years. Her new song, On Ur Mind, involves a heartfelt discussion about heartbreak. I spoke to Ivori about changing her musical direction, and how coming out has allowed her to be her true self.
INTERVIEW: Soak Up The Spaghetti Stains' Debut Album ‘Essential Ingredients’
I spoke to indie rockers The Spaghetti Stains about their debut album, Essential Ingredients, and hitting the road. At the new house, we’ve been eating a lot of pasta, and I really enjoyed chatting with the band.
