PNAU @ BILLBOARD,18TH OF MAY,08
No one criticized Daft Punk after the NeverLand tour despite their playing a CD to thousands of loved up fluros, who were unaware of what really comprises a live performance. But when it comes to a band like Pnau, no doubt they will be criticized for doing pretty much the same thing...

AUTUMN TONES AT THE TOTE, ANZAC DAY
The second instalment of the quarterly Mistletone showcase gigs at the Tote kicked off at 6.30 with guitar duo The Sun Blindness.

BILLY BRAGG - MR LOVE AND JUSTICE (ANTI / COOKING VINYL)

V FESTIVAL 2008
Whilst watching flannel shirted funster’s bat around an inflatable mobile phone, a very depressing thought occurred to me; whatever happened to Woodstock? Generation X met generation V in an exercise in pure venture capitalism- from the eighties and nineties line up to the free plastic V-download cards handed to punters upon entry, to giant the text message screen plonked in the middle of the stadium.....
