10:47AM Jess McGuire | As we’ve probably all learned by now, winning Australian Idol does not necessarily mean you’re ensured a hugely successful career in music. For every Guy Sebastian and Shannon Noll, there’s a Casey Donovan or Natalie Gauci. It’s a little too early to claim that Wes Carr’s career is in trouble, but by god – it’s a bit worrying that only two people turned up to his gig for MySpace Music in Melbourne on Monday. More »
Well, This Has Gotta Be One Of Wes Carr’s Worst Gigs Ever

Flotsam & Jetsam
9:01AM Jess McGuire | The other day I was chatting with Wes Cougar Carr on Twitter (well, kind of) and helpfully suggesting what the next single from his album should be. I told Wes Cougar Carr that I thought it should be Any Other Way because there aren’t enough Ricky Gervais inspired songs in the charts. Next thing I know, Wes is agreeing to cover the following song for Defamer Australia’s entertainment. More »

1:49PM Jess McGuire | Remember the other day when I went to visit Wes Carr and listen to his new album with him? Well, it’s time for us to talk about this glorious event. Have you braced yourself? I am going to do this thing in point form, because I have a short attention span and the idea of writing a long and well thought out review makes my heart and my head hurt. I know you don’t mind. You get me. That’s why our relationship is forever. More »

9:11AM Jess McGuire | As you read this, I am actually not even here but sitting in a field faffing about and making the most of a Victorian public holiday. I think this means I’m a little like Rufus in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, in which case let me assure you that the future is awesome. It’s great here. The air is clean. The water’s clean. Even the dirt… is clean. Bowling averages are way up. Mini-golf scores are way down. And we have more excellent waterslides than any other planet we communicate with. I’m telling you, this place is great.
Or maybe I’m writing from the past, in which case I am still one of the very few people on earth who know about Wes Carr’s amazing bogan rock album that is coming your way shortly. Obviously I feel quite humbled by this honour, but I do plan on sharing with you my notes about the whole record, but you’re going to have to wait until I get home from Golden Plains for that. On the upside, at least I can offer you the new Wes single ‘Feels Like WOAH’ for you to check out! More »

1:35PM Jess McGuire | So guess what Your Editor and Wes Carr did yesterday afternoon?
a) Played Connect-4 in a park, shared many deep stories about childhood?
b) Prank called Mark Spano?
c) Sat in the Sony Music boardroom and listened to his new album together?
Well, after a quick (but informative) game of Connect-4 and then a perfectly executed “Hi, I’m a big music executive from Universal Music, and I’d like to offer you a billion dollar record contract!” phone conversation with Spano, we listened to the new Wes Carr record.
I made loads of notes and I will put them online next week, but here’s the best way to summarise it… More »

1:32PM Jess McGuire | I put it to you, dear Defamer Australia readers, that despite how this video describes itself on YouTube, it is not the official video clip for the Australian Idol winner’s debut solo single.
Speaking of Wes Carr, I am hanging out with him this afternoon. No, really. I don’t particularly understand why. He is in town and I have been summonsed to Sony Music HQ. Perhaps I charmed him with my talk of him looking deceptively like Jesus H. Christ? Anyway. He seemed very nice when I chatted to him last, so for once I don’t actually mind missing out on today’s installment of rubbish arvo telly. If you can suggest some questions or things to say to Wesley Carr when we chillax and shoot the breeze, do let me know. I’ll bring a dictaphone and see if I can finally make him perform Sex On Fire for me. More »

11:01AM Jess McGuire | I love it when my good virtual buddy Dude From Sony sends me emails that are clearly a shameless attempt at marketing a new product but worded in a way that they briefly seem as though it could be just a little fun between mates.
But because I am now apparently going to be “hanging out” (< -- OMG IS THIS A DATE) with Australian Idol winner Wes Carr on Thursday afternoon thanks to the good folks at his record company, I am prepared to copy and paste their shameless attempt to plug the new Kelly Clarkson record.
Want to hear the entire new Kelly Clarkson album in 3 minutes? Check out this awesome little mashup – really shows just how many hit singles there are on this new album, me thinks!
The album ALL I EVER WANTED is out this Friday. *excitement…*
What do you think? Is the new Kelly Clarkson stuff amazing, or will she be forever cursed by the fact nothing will ever top the extreme awesomeness of Since U Been Gone?
After the jump, an excerpt from a hilarious Kelly Clarkson interview with Popjustice. More »

Defamer Australia Versus Australian Idol Winner Wes Carr
12:44PM Jess McGuire | I don’t know how I pulled it off, but I managed to trick the good folk from Sony BMG into letting me interview Wes Carr today. He was a very nice young man, and we talked about loads of things including religion, Ben Gillies, Ricki-Lee’s love life, and other stuff I can’t be bothered remembering because you’ll find out soon enough.
I’ve transcribed the first part of my interview for you (you’ll have to wait for the rest, I’m afraid. I’m a woman on the go! Time is valuable! I really need some sort of work experience kid to treat as a slave, then I could force them to sit down with a recording of an interview and write out the scintillating conversation…) and you can read it after the jump.

10:08AM Jess McGuire | I am interviewing him in LITERALLY A FEW MINUTES TIME.
If there’s anything you ever wanted to ask him, comment below and if it’s not incredibly offensive, I’ll take your query to the great man himself.
Quickly, then! Let’s go! More »
