I had originally lined her up as part of my interview series of Australian musicians over on A Free Man. When I started to do some research for my interview, however, I realized that there was a […]

I know, I know. I said music writing would be moving over to A Free Man. But I enjoyed Adelaide indie-popsters We Grow Up’s music so much that I wanted to make sure they got as much exposure as possible. Since this site still gets more traffic than the new one I thought a little […]

But slipped down like tears
I was not on my knees by accident…”
-The Broken Family Band - “Cocktail Lounge”

But you got yourself into your own mess
You know the demons in the design
A good idea at the time…”

Great Interview Week continues in a scientific vein today. In last week’s Nature, a paper coming out of Dee Carter’s lab at the University of Sydney described the discovery of a previously unknown marine species. That, in itself, is noteworthy. However, the organism they found - an unremarkable unicellular brown alga - turns out […]

I was thrilled when I drew Jennifer from No Place Like It for my second go at the Great Interview Experiment. Like your underwhelming correspondent, Jennifer is an expat (a Canadian in Paris) dragged overseas in a net of romantic entanglement with a furriner. Like myself, she seems happy to stay in her adopted home. […]

“When I was just a skinny lad on holiday by the sea,
I met a girl in a Rancid shirt, and a tape she gave to me
With the Black Flag First Four Years and the Minor Threat Discography,
And punk rock saved my life.”

London based singer-songwriter Frank Turner’s came to some […]

I enjoyed my interview with Courtney a couple of weeks ago so much that I asked Neil at Citizen of the Month for another go at his Great Interview Experiment. Thus, late last week, I spent a fair bit of time in the role of either interviewer or interviewee. With all the questions buzzing about […]
