Short Stack

August 19th 2008 05:41
So, i have, in the past, promised local bands - And here is my favourite Australian band:

SHORT STACK!

Short Stack

This Newcastle based pop-rock group have recently released their first single and professional video clip for their awesome song 'Drop Dead Gorgeous'.

And...much more importantly, the three young men are terribly good looking, friendly and funny.

Shaun, who plays lead guitar and sings is full of clever quips and sarcasm
Shaun Diviney


Andy, who plays bass and sings back up has some pretty wild dance moves!
Andy Clemmensen


Bradie, the ever popular drummer, is most well known for playing half naked (the obvious absense of a shirt is quite a hit with the ladies).
Bradie Webb



This clip has been wildly popular on the Australian music countdown show 'TV hits' as well as on channel [V] and MTV. As their popularity grows, they have been booking out more shows, from huge events such as the Soundwave festival earlier this year to smaller shows such as the most recent gig at the Annandale Hotel.

Just last weekend, their fans got an amazing present from the band, as they invited them to be a part of their newest video clip for "Shimmy A Go Go" Although the details must remain secret for the sake of the band, i will reveal that the band did a great job and the fans were amazingly dressed to the theme. It took about 7 hours of hard work, but it was a lot of fun and the turn out was great.

Be sure to check out this up and coming band at:

So, I hope you all enjoyed (or cringed, as anticipated) at the Soulja Boy edition of my ‘please don’t even try’ seriously bad music posts. Now for the second instalment:

Case 2:
Tila Tequila
please, put it away!

Well I personally admire intellectual and meaningful lyrics, not to be found in a Tila Tequila song. According to her song 'Stripper Friends' 'we all want the same thing...' (strippers, i presume) and along with this, she has many other deep, emotional songs, such as 'Fuck ya man' and 'I love u' (real original). Also, a quote from her myspace, just for true intellectual enlightenment:
ok what the hell man? I know I have lots of friends on here but it's not like I can help it ok? I didn't join this thing thinking, "OMG I SOOOO HAVE TO GET A MILLION FRIENDS ON HERE!" Yea right! It was more like someone invited me to join and I was like k wutever....another stupid lame online community.

A few Tila facts:
- Tila Tequila has the most myspace friends of any 'musician' at a whopping 3,173,841!
- She is a model, entertainer and singer.
- Her singing career started when she assembled the band Beyond Betty Jean and continued when BBJ broke up and she became the lead singer of the band Jealousy.
- In 2006, She was signed to the Will.I.Am music group, which was anounced by will.I.am himself on MTV’s Total Request Live. Although she was signed to a mjor label, she released her first solo single ‘I Love U’ independently.

Summary: Maybe not the deepest person ever, but her entrepreneurship, independent success and number of myspace friends speak for themselves.
Here is the ‘I Love U’ video, it is pure gold, seriously, it is hilarious!



Happy Listening

Please don't even try - Soulja Boy

June 11th 2008 09:54
Ok, so this particular post is inspired by an awesome joke that my brother told me the other day:

Who is Soulja Boy's best friend?

YOUUUUUU!!!

Aoh man, i thought it was so good, but when i told my friends, they didn't even get it. Personally, I'm not really into all of the 'popular' music but i still know it, what is life without variety?

So, back on topic (after that little giggle fest), Soulja Boy is among a few of the artists that really kill me (musically, not literally) so even though I'm all about good music, my next few posts, I will be sharing some really, really bad music...

Case number 1:
Soulja Boy
Cutie with a bootie *shudder*

So his single 'Crank That (Soulja Boy)' is a little catchy, but I just can't get past his sunglasses? It makes me wonder, can he see properly with them on? I had the same issue with Kanye West:

but at least his sunglasses looked structured, not just like someone had decided to write their name in whiteout...anyway, this isn't a fashion blog so...
Well actually, hip hop is notorious for its faux pas, case in point Flo Rider's 'Low', was a stake to the heart was because it made everyone wan't to commit fashion crime in their 'boots with the fur' not to mention all the poor animals that died to make those attrocious shoes!
Summary: Ok so, just reviewing that song i actually do kind of like it, shameful as it may be - its really catchy. But i came across another song, 'Yaaah' which kind of confused me. Watch it for the confuzzled mind set:


Happy Listening

Blaqk Audio

Blaqk Audio. The name might sound somewhat familiar and that would be because this relatively young electronica duo is formed by none other than AFI's Davey Havok and Jade Puget, so you know that you're in for a music sensation. But Blaqk Audio's tunes are nothing like what you'd expect from AFI. From their revamped image:

y gen? z gen?

June 7th 2008 07:56
Ok, so we've all heard of the generations a-z, so let me clear things up:

Products of the y generation, such as myself, are those who were born between 1980 and 1997. That leaves Generation Z; those who missed the deadline of the stellar 80's and 90's and were born 1998 onwards
