The Beatles. The Stones. Godard. The Cold War. This is the old testament of rock and roll. Psychic Soviet fittingly looks like a pocket bible, albeit a pink plastic one. Svenonius is simply the most interesting and insightful person writing about music today. If Lester Bangs were still alive, they'd probably have a lot in common.
Why does the word eclectic get bandied around so much? Does everything that’s even slightly diverse have to be considered eclectic? In light of this we can’t use that word to describe Tropical Hot Dog Night. But then THDN is more than just one word, it’s actually quite a few words strung together which makes a welcome change from your average music blog.
Bigger than Fraggle Rock, more reliable than a pyramid scheme, Pyramid Rock is a festival on NYE.
What kind of a festival? Well, it’s more beer than bourbon. If it were a form of transport, it would be a lowered valiant, not a spaceship. It’s more Triple J than trip. It’s more balls than boho.
Remember 1990s summers spent indoors listening to Future Sound of London, United Future Organisation, Tricky and the Wu-Tang Clan? The nights were long and warm then, and the patience of time seemed to askfar more from music. It was a different place altogether - the case for Ninja Tune cinematics had just been presented, and white indies everywhere started turning onto the egalitarian tech of Old Schoolhip-hop and British drum'n'bass.
Not long ago we somehow found ourselves reading a transcribed PDF file of the new Harry Potter book on a laptop, in a public bathroom, and decided enough was enough, and made a pact to never, pirate, rape, or pillage again.
To atone for our sins, we now just shop at TITLE.
Following the success of its flagship Sydney store, and a 2007 retail interior design award under its belt, TITLE has now opened up shop in Melbourne.
Isn’t genre a stupid word? Say it over and over and soon it begins to sound like the name of a particularly sleazy French uncle. We here at ThreeThousand are fed-up with this concept. That’s why we’re so pleased to meet Ian, the creator, owner and general music genius at the Listening Lounge.
