Well, we have moved. To our beautiful new home in Newtown. It's very exciting and rewarding, but a little tiring. So, this has kept me busy, hence the lack of updates round here. It would seem that the world is in some sort of financial meltdown at the moment, as people with lots of money move their money into other areas, causing mass anxiety everywhere. Hopefully things will settle down and us people at the bottom of the chain will emerge unscathed.

What else has been happening? Not too much, but here are a few items.

Fleet Foxes have announced sideshows. Very sad that they clash with Stars, but I will probably have to go with the Seattleites as I have not seen them before. And all reports of their live shows are sensational.

The August Magnificent can be revealed. If you couldn't figure it before now, then it is now public knowledge that this is the debut album of Sydney band Dead Letter Chorus. The album, containing 12 tracks, is due out October 18 on CodeOne and was self produced by the band and mixed by Tim Whitten. More details will come soon.

Animal Collective have a new album due out on January 20, 2009. Happy days! "Merriweather Post Pavilion" is the title and is coming out on Domino.
