Dan Sultan Is Definitely Some Kind Of Elvis

2:03PM Jess McGuire | It was an easy mistake for the Herald Sun to make, I suppose. In captioning a picture of the handsome and extremely talented Dan Sultan, they accidentally referred to him as the “white Elvis”. Given that Dan is (to put it in the Herald Sun’s own words) “the product of an Aboriginal mother and Irish father”, I am pretty sure they meant “black Elvis” – something Clare Bowditch called him a few years back. Traditionally, I believe Elvis Presley is considered the “white Elvis”. More »

Spinnerette Will Be Touring Australia Next Year!

1:59PM Jess McGuire | Remember how enthused I was about Brody Dalle’s latest musical outfit Spinnerette?

Paul Kelly’s Ode To Shane Warne

12:28PM Jess McGuire | I realise I am quite behind the times, but I’ve just heard Paul Kelly’s tribute to Warney and on the off chance I’m not the only Australian who has been living in a cave for the past two years and had no idea that this country’s finest troubadour had knocked out a little calypso ditty ’bout the nation’s favourite spin bowler, I thought I’d bang it on Defamer Australia for your viewing pleasure.

Big Scary – ‘Hey Somebody’

10:12AM Jess McGuire | Working at RRR means I get a stack of CDs in the mail each week, and sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day to listen to them all. Being away for an entire month recently meant that I returned to more singles and albums than I care to count, and as I gazed at the gigantic pile of music that required my attention, I came up with a brilliant way to decide what I should listen to first – I would become extremely superficial and go entirely by cover art.
