Hello, I love you, won’t you tell me your name? In similar fashion to how I became obsessed with Elvis, in late high school my friends and I were fixated with Oliver Stone’s movie The Doors and passed around the VHS copy like it was contraband. For a good […]
Icelandic Electronic Queen In the same vein as my ode to World Music a few weeks back, I discovered Björk and her band The Sugarcubes while watching the ads on SBS (god bless that TV station). Remember when they used to play music videos in between shows, back […]
The King! What started out as a little joke between friends became an actual love affair with the King of rock n’ roll which took me down to the jungle room! Let me start at the beginning… Back at uni my housemate and I used to watch old Elvis movies […]

Matchbox Twenty Oooooooooh can I share a huge secret? OK, so you may doubt me but Rob Thomas is my pretend rock star boyfriend and unfortunately you can’t change that! Don’t believe me? Here’s the proof, I mean, rock stars don’t just favourite any old random Tweet out there… RIGHT?! […]
