Idiosyncratic pop from a Japanese-American songwriter; catching up with an old folky favourite.

Mark Lanegan @ The Croxton
Loved the voice, loved the songs, didn’t love the vibe-killing background chatter that wouldn’t cease. Still, catching one of my all-time favourite singers live was a treat.
New Music 08/2018 – Janelle Monáe
It’s always great to discover a new musical love, especially one that comes with a quality back catalogue.
Katy Perry @ Rod Laver Arena
Definitely an odd one out for me, but it’s been ages since I’ve been to a big flashy show, and this concert was a fun night out and everything you’d want from an arena pop spectacular. Dancers, costume changes, flying props oh my!
New Music 07/2018 – Gillian Welch, Savages
My recent haul from the Dixons Recycled secondhand music store in Fitzroy. Who doesn’t love a bargain?
New Music 07/2018 – Fever Ray, Courtney Barnett
Second solo albums by two of my favourites, which mostly avoid the dreaded second album curse.
Sarah Blasko @ 170 Russell
Saw the incredible and ever-enchanting Sarah Blasko last night. I’ve seen her live a few times before, but this concert might have been my favourite, despite the late starting time.
