Anzac Day

It can get a bit tricky picking the vibe of these type of events, but ESSENTIAL 2009 sounds like a great time if its lineup is anything to go by.

Spread across Oxdford Arts, Spectrum and Q Bar you can catch bands like Dappled Cities, The Holidays, The ELF, Birdgemary Kiss, Under Lights, Sherlock's Daughter all day and for about $30.

Definately worth your while if you aint studying, working or getting your 2-up on down the RSL. Go 'Straya.

Oh, and its also hands down a much more attractive option that Timmy Trumpet at the Greenwood.

You know id like to, but...

Wednesday Arvo

Good ways to share music? These days, YouTube is right up there.

Its all pretty easy- just leave a window open next time you get your Facebook/Twitter/Perez on, then let your speakers do the rest.

Anyways, heres a few for a rainy day:

The National - About Today
Beirut - Nantes
Roots Manuva - Movements
Teenagers in Tokyo - End it Tonight (Seekae remix)
Feist - The Water

Snob Scrilla

Featuring appearances by Del The Funky Homosapien, Bag Raiders and a bunch more- album drops Friday on Ivy League (also in the pipeline, new Red Riders).

And too- we can claim him! Dudes a Sydneysider since moving from his native California to study here.

But he doesnt have an aussie accent!

No worries, check Mr Officer off of his 2008 EP The Day Before- easily the best hip hop track around about getting mugged on George St.

Anyways, get to the album launch on Friday at SoSueMe (Q Bar) for a live MC set and a hectic supporting cast.

Snob Scrilla Album Launch - Friday 24 April @ Q Bar - $10

Low on funds? Tired as a mofo from the long weekend?

Catch Under Lights, who put on a sensational live show, tomorrow night at the Beach Road (its Wednesday duhhhh) then chill with Sui Zhen at the Hopetoun on Thursday.

Completely unrelated, Dawn Landes' track Bodyguard is a deadset sleeper, banjo and all. You should definately listen to it. If you're in Michigan tonight then check her as well!

Soft Shock

Its that time of the week again, and what better way to beat the assesment blues than checking out Red Riders first show back on home soil after a month abroad.

Supporting are local popsters Tennis, who I know have a budding fanbase around these parts.

and p.s , for anyone reppin the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's album, Soft Shock - lovin it.

Peace :)
