Sinead O’Connor – ‘I’m not bossy, I’m the Boss’ Australian Tour 2015
Recently returning with an album that is both one of the artistic high points of her storied career and a worthy successor to 2012’s rapturously received How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? Infusing the spirit of funky blues with a fresh exploration the age-old theme of romantic love I’m Not Bossy, I’m The Boss is a tour de force and signals a new confidence in song writing for an artist who was until recently perhaps more renowned as a vocalist.
The truly great songwriters realize ...

Augie March 2015 Australian Tour
This very welcome news was swiftly followed by the announcement that the band had quietly been creating a fifth studio album, Havens Dumb, in Hobart and Melbourne over the preceding three years. The band’s return to the live stage came in the form of playing at Howler, a few streets away from the scene of their first-ever show sixteen years earlier, in Brunswick Victoria. They ended up doing five nights in a row by popular demand. It was indeed a triumphant return, with the band in ...

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day Movie Review
I've not read the book (other than a few sample pages courtesy of Amazon.com) but I imagine, as was the case with Where the Wild Things Are, that the book is a much more economic and elegant tale than the resulting feature film. The film appears to be riding the coat tails of the recent Diary of a Wimpy Kid films (which do a very good job of translating its literary source to the silver screen) but where the Wimpy Kid films riff neatly on the familiar misfortunes and fears of our youth, the ...
