Film Review: Battleship (Dir. Peter Berg) ..Battleship Dir. Peter Berg [Universal Pictures; 2012] by Alex Peterson Rating: This is how Battleship works: Troublesome Boy steals burrito from convenience store to impress Girl at Bar. Boy’s straightlaced Brother decides this is last straw, forces him to join Navy.

Live Review: Ball Park Music - The Hi-Fi, Br ..Since the release of their debut "Happiness and the Surrounding Suburbs" Ball Park Music have become bigger than internet kittens and deservedly so! Their 180º Tour has seen them playing the largest venues of their career and tonight they'd packed the Hi-Fi for the 20th show of the tour. Opening with "Misirlou" and wearing Pulp Fiction-esque black and white suits, the song melded into album opener "Literally Baby". The crowd seemed to be unable to reign in their enthusiasm as spontaneous ‘pyjama’ dancing (the daggiest of all the dances) rippled through their limbs. "Shithaus" was followed by a box-fresh ...The AU Review14 May 2012

The Festival Diaries: Day One at New Orleans ..Talk about being a long way from home. It has been a matter of circumstance that has led to me heading to New Orleans (or, "Nawlins", as it's affectionately known) this year for my first ever Jazz Fest. A city which continues to recover from the ravages of Hurricane Katrina in the outlying areas, here on Bourbon Street where we're staying - at the famous Royal Senesta - you'd never know anything had happened. The lights are bright, the music is fine, the food phenomenal, the beads flowing and the drinks cheap (and potent). This is, as it has ...The AU Review4 May 2012

Songs that saved my life part 11:The Bee Gee ..When I was nine years old, I heard a track by the Bee Gees on the radio called 'You Win Again'. There was something in the melody, or maybe the hook, that utterly haunted and compelled me to play it over and over again. I didn’t know why I liked it, just that I did. The song refused to leave my head, and gripped me to such an extend that I sat in front of that weeks top of the pops with a cassette recorder (the 'mic' being about three quarters of the size of a five pence piece ...brill dream28 April 2012

Eddie Vedder "I Am A Patriot"We're writing these words from Boston and in Massachusetts we have a weird, unique series of patriotic holidays for reasons time remembers but the average Joe forgets. (Most everybody here thinks we get Patriots Day off from work/school for the Boston marathon - or to do our taxes, or go to Red Sox games...) This isn't a civics listen but it is another great chance to share timely music news. Cue the Eddie Vedder .... and news about the man's rescheduled shows. Eddie Vedder this month announced the postponement of his 15-city U.S. solo tour today due ...Ryan's Smashing Life17 April 2012

Glen Hansard ‘Philander’Short of a new album from The Frames (which is looking increasingly unlikely to ever happen), a new Glen Hansard solo album is the best news I could have hoped for from the Irish singer/songwriter. The album is called 'Rhyme And Response', and it's out June 19th. This is the first single from it, 'Philander'.And Pluck Your Strings11 April 2012
