this is a tune. GOBBLE GOBBLE thrashes the pixies' 'where is my mind?' with his own signature sound but he's managed to keep the same feeling in the song. the raddest cover of a huge track. more GOBBLE GOBBLE here.



the original and two more great but entirely different covers:

We Say Bamboulée - genuinely excited by these guys. pure pop bliss. doug wright with brothers, peter and russell fitzgibbon from the blue mountains, deliver sun-drenched indie/pop with definate winks to chillwave. if you're in sydney on november 4th they're having their 'bush tricks' EP launch at goodgod small club in liverpool street (EP comes out november 8th). russell and doug also make music as fishing, a more instrumental, jungly sound but just as poppy and catchy.

SIRIUSMO - moritz friedrich. frequent modeselektor collaborator who refuses to perform live except for family birthdays. is a berlin based artist (paintings, illustrations, graffiti). signed to monkeytown records. latest release 'the plasterer of love' EP came out in july. is great. song title 'einmal in der woche schreien' translates to 'cry once a week' or something similar.

AMY CUSHWAY - gold coast alt pop musician. in her words; 'I write alternative pop anthems, I am a Taurus, I have lost two finger nails to both the acoustic and electric guitar, I can't keep still when I play (I should get that looked at) and remember, the most rebellious thing you can ever do is to come to my show and bring your whole damn family!' . these two tracks are off her unearthed page but you can get lasy year's 'love's not anorexic' EP here.

G-EAZY - great production on 'waspy'. tennis's 'marathon' is a great track in its own right but this is a killer beat right here. check his bandcamp for some free/pay what you feel music.

GILBERE FORTE - released his debut '87 dreams' this year. guys been writing songs for 11 years and he's only 23. he's getting attention for his sampling, same vein as hoodie allen and chiddy bang.


BRENTON DUVALL - guys a remix/mashup genius. great music taste too. get 'the potomac boys club demos' here. stupid good. biggie, raekwon, jay-z, hall & oates, gary jules and j0nsi are all there.

GOBBLE GOBBLE - hectic. like aural strobes hectic. like, fuck...heart attack glitches 'n business. like a hailstorm, except instead of hail stones its sparks falling from the heavens.

like a sparkstorm.

and all the electrical devices are going nuts and doc emmett brown's delorean is playing up cos the sparkstorm is affecting the plutonium so he can't go back to the future to realign the space time continuum and tv screens are all black and white ants and the children are screaming SCREAMING because their playstations and xboxes arent working anymore and someone somewhere is crying curled up on the floor cos they went to go on facebook but their computer was fried just like the chicken they used to buy from kfc before they went bust cos they couldn't refridgerate their produce due to the FUCKING SPARKSTORM THAT GOBBLE GOBBLE CAUSED WITH THEIR FUCKING EPILEPTIC MUSIC.

but honestly i kind of love this music and i definately exaggerated how hectic it is. a bit. it sounds like a mixture of teen daze and dan friel.

SEEKAE - sydney three-piece. ambient shoegazy goodness. playing the zoo with cloud control and deep sea arcade on friday 22nd of october (tickets), and then back in brisneyland again on monday 6th of december supporting broadcast at the hi-fi (tickets).
