I have had Television Youth , the ace record from Canadian punks Sonic Avenues , in my inbox for months (it came out in January). I was meant to post about it for The Styrofoam Drone (amongst a plethora of things - sorry Zac, I'll be back on top of things in the upcoming week!), yet it fell through the cracks (expect to see the Happy New Year/Nite Fields split 7" soon though). This is a great album though, and it has jumped on my hunched back and beat me around the ears insistently this week, so I thought I better ...

A hardcore-heavy round-up of some new-ish cassette, CD-R and vinyl releases including Loose Grip, Taco Leg, Martyr Privates and Negative Reinforcement. Words by TIM SCOTT . Loose Grip Cereal (7”, Bedroom Suck) By far the best 7” I've heard so far this year. The debut for this Brisbane weirdo/super group hits all the right buttons. It's five tracks of fun speedy US hardcore punk without the goon factor – well, maybe a little bit. There's also a good sense humour – one song is called 'Baked' the other 'Cereal'. Kieran's vocals are manic but controlled, but more on ...

New York Magazine : South by Southwest culminated by combining the last evening of conference shows, a normal Austin Saturday night, and, right, St. Patrick’s Day. Results: Much drunken mayhem (one guy repeatedly wished me a happy New Year), more drumming per square foot than possibly anywhere else on earth, one of those staggering-zombie-apocalypse scenes on 6th Street, and the A$AP Mob getting in a fight with part of the audience at a Vice show. Another great year. Here are some of my takeaways from this year’s conference… Read and comment. From vulture.com.

Willow Smith may be five years away from getting her learners' permit, but she's already savvy in the ways of the media. She first emerged with a tween-appropriate squeaky-clean song about swinging her (now non-existent!) hair around . And now she's hanging out with Tyler, the Creator. Kids these days! They grow up so fast. Will and Jada's offspring shared photos via her Instagram account yesterday of her and Odd Future ringleader Tyler, the Creator chilling in Los Angeles at the rap collective's pop-up shop on Fairfax. In one, she and Tyler pose together, and her caption ...
