Tomás Ford’s Beer Garden Pleasuredome
Here’s some news: I’m going to be DJ’ing at The Rosemount every thursday from August onward until the end of time. It’s going to be a lot of fun, I have big plans that will slowly unfold over the next few months at this. If you want to keep up with this, the official web presence is on Twitter at @tf_pleasuredome.
Here’s the press release:

Masturbatory Self Analysis
I stumbled across a site that creates word clouds (I know, it’s so two years ago) and thought I’d see what my most usd words on this blog are. Turns out I say “like” about as much as I would, like, expect a character from a frat party film to. I also appear to apologise for my posts too much (“Posted Months Ago”) - sorry about that.

The Wrong Unicorn

Tickets are $20 or $15 if you are an RTR Subscriber. You can get...

A few nights ago, bored of street press and the overly wordy books I seem to prefer when at the bookshop (but hate when I get them home), I had a read of the lyric sheet for 6s & 7s’ Choose The Sentinel Blooze LP. I really only did this out of boredom, but it turns out that Josh Fontaine, their frontman, is something of a genius wonderboy. If you have room in your album collection...

David Bowie Wasn't As Crap In The '90's As You...
I was just watching the great live clip of David Bowie performing the industrial album version of Hallo Spaceboy in a club (above). I think it’s super-excellent; physical industrial music up there with the best Nine Inch Nails tracks. And yet I keep reading things that tell me Bowie’s ’90s were full of gross, esoteric records that nobody liked. This may be an unpopular...
