December 2008
Triple J reckon that Silverchair vocalist/guitarist Daniel Johns is currently in the studio with Aussie expats, The Scare, producing their upcoming album. I believe this will be Daniel's first time producing someone else's material so it will be interesting to see what they come up with. Still... I think The Scare have scored big-time getting him aboard. The tunes; The Silverchair track is the first track on 2007's, utterly mindblowing, Young Modern. If you haven't heard it yet then forget everything you think you know about the band and have a listen. You WILL like it. The Scare - Cry Junkies (Out of Luck) Silverchair - Young Modern Station |

Speaking of Brian Ritchie... He lives in Hobart, Tasmania and just yesterday it was revealed that the Tasmanian state government has coughed up $350,000 to the organisers of a new festival, the Festival of Music and Art. The festival will be curated by Brian Ritchie (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have been booked). All good, except that this new festival is planned to fall on the same weekend as the well-established Cygnet Folk Festival which is a very, very stupid thing for our state government to be funding. Isn't that completely obvious? Anyway, some tunes... Midnight Oil - Only the Strong Violent Femmes - Breakin' Up Source: Undercover.com.au and The Mercury. |

The year is 2108. An outlandish secret-society of artistic, time-traveling scientists pay a clandestine visit to the Wicca in the year 1908. The scientists prepare a Mental-Template™ based on the minds of the most musically-inclined Wiccans. They then travel forward 100 years and secretly upload the Mental-Template™ into the brain of an electronic musician, who then unwittingly records a song based on his newly acquired arcane knowledge. The industrious, artistic scientists return to the year 2108. They remix and rework the piece of music and launch it on the Universal Music Web. Pagan Passions becomes the most celebrated, critically-acclaimed, song of the year. True story. I am indeed a mega-superstar in the not-so-distant future. I believe I will be dead by then, which is weird. Anyway, here is the original, un-remixed, un-reworked version of Pagan Passions. I'm sure the future version will be much better but you'll just have to use your imagination for now. |
