Two Sides of the Truth / Do Anything Go Anywhere
World music has gotten a bad rap. It's too often associated with and passed off as music that late thirty-going-on-forty somethings are listening to, trying to seem relevant or hip. It's as if the entire hipster collective has bought into the eternal struggle of Rob Gordon versus Ian Raymond and of course, we all want to be fucking John Cusack.

Empire Records is an under-appreciated DVD classic. The story of an independent record store, it features a teenage Liv Tyler, 'special brownies', an awesome soundtrack and endlessly quotable quotes. Hear Now records is sort of like a homegrown version; it's indie, staffed by people who know about music and going out of business.

Description:
We stopped by Southpaw last Sunday expecting to see hordes of aging PBS DJs with gross dirty hands digging through the crates of vinyl that had been relocated to Fitzroy for the Southpaw record fair. Instead there was just one dude raking in all the profit because everyone else wussed out of having a stall.

Metropolis music section closing sale!
The crunch hits us at last. We've all been sitting pretty safe in the knowledge that we'll never have a mortgage, letting Tom Piotrowski's slightly lispy words of doom wash over us each night as we relax in front of the CommSec finance report.
But now it's real. The Metropolis music section is closing and part of the blame goes to US - the browsers who didn't buy enough metal.
