Kaki King @ Oxford Art Factory

From Oceans Never Listen, Posted May, 2nd 2008

This will be the shortest concert review I have ever written. For some, that might be a good thing. Last night at the Oxford Art Factory saw Kaki King bring her unique guitar stylings back to Sydney. This performer is one who I have heard about for quite a while, but I have never dived fully into her music. I recently bought her latest album, but I haven't had much of a chance to give it a full listen. So...

Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, May 3

From Cable and Tweed, Posted May, 2nd 2008

Before I get to the meat of this post, I just want to point out that the Iron Man flick is just great. After a single viewing, I'd place it with Batman Begins and Spider-Man 2 as the best of the genre. It's funny, smart, and has a ton of great action sequences featuring Stark's suits of armor. I can nitpick some minor points, but it's not worth it. This movie is going to make...

Over the next few days on Speed of Dark, you'll find more of Alt-gramma's amazing photos from Coachella 2008 and reviews of bands we saw there.

From Its Hard to Find a Friend, Posted May, 2nd 2008

In this, my most favorite new viral video clip, the good Senator Clinton attempts to operate a gas station cappuccino machine to make herself look blue collar, and if the whole obvious charade of it enough weren't as insulting enough, the fact that she's clearly never seen one of these things surely soured her photo op. Regardless of your political leanings this year, though I personally hope it's toward a certain Illinois senator, this is pure gold.[mp3] Belle & Sebastian...

From Yer Mam!, Posted May, 2nd 2008

It's coming. On Sunday in Manchester's Contact Theatre (next to the Academy on Oxford Road), the stars of the Manchester music blogging miniverse are joining together like some sort of web-savvy/music-spoddy Voltron to create the beast that is Bloggerpalooza. From 6pm onwards, the cream of the crop of Manc's mp3 bloggers will be providing a sensory treat for your ears and eyes (beautiful guys and gals that we are, once you look past the pixel tans) as part of Manchester's...
