"Walking into Star Trek Into Darkness – J.J. Abrams’ second foray into the Star Trek universe — you have to take pause. This man holds in his hands not only this generation of Star Trek films, but an entire run of Star Wars films, too. What if he loses his touch? Who will be our saviour then?"
I saw Star Trek Into Darkness and then wrote some words about it over on Junkee. You should read those words.
"We’re all guilty of the pseudo-support that is slacktivism, and in the end, the value of a ‘like’ is infinitely less than any donated dollar or volunteered man-hour. So don’t just like things. Do things, too."
I wrote about slacktivism, #DIYrainbow and why your like isn’t worth what you think it is for Junkee
Big news. Big songs. Out everywhere that we like on the 14th of may, our split single ‘Canker’ + ‘If It Works’. It’s fun, promise.
If you want a sneak peak, listen to our chat with Close To The Edge on FBi Radio last night. The show is excellent so you should listen to it all, but if you’re all about cheating, check in from 54 minutes.
Yeah, this is a thing. An exciting thing.
"The first 18 years of my life were spent in a tiny town called Wee Waa, a place you’d probably never heard of until yesterday. It’s “off the map”, “bumfuck nowhere” and a thousand other cliches used to describe “somewhere far from Sydney”."
On Junkee, I helped break the silence on what happens in Wee Waa when Daft Punk aren’t there.
Mind Over Matter, crew-bros and general goodtimers just dropped a clip for their latest single Real Life, feat K.I.K.I. It’s totally twisted
Check it out, and then check MoM out live tomorrow night supporting Chance Waters at The Standard in Sydney. Such good times.
Goin’ on a big tour, gonna have a good time. Can almost guarantee Chance will stare longingly off into the distance pretty much 90% of the time.
Hitting a lot of places - come down, perhaps buy a ticket (or if I owe you, which I probably do, I might put you on the door. Maybe.)
"We Eat Loot is an achievement-in-waiting – no speed run, but a carefully considered leap into an exciting sound that’s hopefully no final fantasy."

Oh look, it’s Andy Hopkins, everyone’s favorite kangaroo krooner. Some people say he looks like Andrew Hansen, but don’t worry - if he jumps into your life, you’ll probably have a good time. Especially if he brings out his ‘art’.
