Donations needed

You can join in on fundraising efforts for Movember, even if you’re not growing your own mo’.

Powderfinger are donating $5 for each pre-order of the new album, Golden Rule, to help raise funds for Movember – BUT you need to purchase it from their special link below.

They have also launched their own Movember mo’ growing campaigns and with the links above, you can keep updated on their mo’ progress (or mo gress), even get some mo’ growing tips.

“What’s Movember about?”

Movember helps raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.

What many people don’t appreciate is that close to 3,000 men die of prostate cancer each year in Australia and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime – many of whom don’t seek help.  More information can be found on the Movember website: au.movember.com

Donations

Whether you pre-order Powderfinger’s album, or just want to donate some cash yourself, get involved! Check out the Powderfinger Mo Space pages – rate them and donate.

I’ll also be keeping track of my some of my friends and their mo’ gress, like Donovan and Dean for a start!

“JB HiFi stops selling CD singles due to low customer sales”

The music format suffered a fatal blow after JB HiFi ceased stocking CD singles yesterday because of declining sales.”

How do you obtain your music?

The CD single is set to join the poor extinct Dodo, with Music downloads being the preferred format to obtain singles these days.

I imagine all major chains will go down the same path, if they haven’t already. Makes good business sense I guess… how long since you bought a CD single?

Give me a CD

As well as downloading music, I’m currently still a CD horder.  I like to read the lyrics and look at the pretty pictures

- and of course, store it alphabetically on my CD rack

One Week to wait for Byron Blues…

Whether you call it the “Bluesfest Byron Bay” or “East Coast Blues and Roots” doesn’t really matter. Now 19 years on, it is known as one of the world’s best Blues and Roots Music Festivals. And for good reason!

There’s always an amazing line-up of international and local artists, phenomenal music and a gentle caring atmosphere in the crowd.

If, like us, you’re unable to get there this year; or even if you just want a sneak preview of what you’re in for – check out this video preview from the BluesFest website:

The crowd participation certainly sums up the vibe.

They were here in Oz ~ they were hot. They are: Hot Chip

Hot Chip are the much raved about indie/dance outfit from the UK.

They’ve just done some of the Big Day Out circuit here but have now returned home and are touring the UK.

Ready for the Floor is the first single off their awaited third album, Made in the Dark, with the album also being released.

For a limited time, you can listen online at ninemsn.

Once you’ve heard it, you’ll probably want to buy the album!

Happy listening…
