THE DAILY MOJO by Adam Daniel

As many times as I have heard and LOVED this song, the first time I ever saw the film clip was on a Radiohead bio on MusicMax that I watched tonight. Amazing. Someone else digs their David Lynch too.
The biography was fantastic too, a great reminder that despite the bullshit tall-poppy criticism of recent years, [...]

Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder is a comedy roller coaster - lots of rises but quite a few dips as well. I caught it on Friday night in a surprisingly empty cinema (actually, it was here in the Blue Mountains - most people were probably huddling around their fireplaces). I gotta say it was a little [...]

One word: Ewwwwwwwwwwww. You know somewhere some creepy dude is getting off watching this.
Cool song though. And I love Sia, she just seems like a regular goodtime Aussie girl. Love her work with Zero 7 and more recently her guest vocals on ‘I’ll Forget You’ from Lior’s great album ‘Corner of An Endless Road’. [...]

Okay, so here’s my quandary:
The last two weeks I have tipped against my NRL team the Parramatta Eels in the hope of employing an (albeit minor) reverse jinx (inspired by this excellent Bill Simmons column that may or may not have propelled the Boston Celtics to NBA title glory).

Had the pleasure of seeing one of my favourite bands, Death Cab For Cutie play a show at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Monday night. It was the third time I’d seen them play, but the first time in Australia (the first two in the US and Canada when they were touring ‘Plans’).
With tickets in the [...]

And like any good addict, without my fix of one product I’ve had to move straight to another; [...]

Have you heard about the guy in Jacksonville, Florida who called 911 on three occasions due to a dispute over the sauce on his Subway Sub? No joke.

I do feel a bit sorry for the dude though. After listening to the full calls, I would bet money on a history between Reginald and this Subway. [...]

Hey there. I’ve been a little lax on the blogging lately, mostly due to procrastination and the irresistible pull of HBO’s The Wire, which I splurged on by buying all five seasons online. I have been ploughing through the eps and have nothing but superlatives to write about it - it’s quite simply one of [...]

Hands down most ridiculous movie-tie to a burger chain in I have ever seen…

“Inspired by the Dark Knight”? How the hell can a movie be inspiration for a burger??? And what exactly makes a Whopper ‘Dark’? Double cooking the patties? Barbecue sauce instead of tomato sauce? An extra pattie made of 100% moral ambiguity?
You know [...]
