THE DAILY MOJO by Adam Daniel

A simply brilliantly edited trailer to a scarily perfect song choice. My interest in seeing Oliver Stone’s W. just spiked massively. Will be very interested to hear the U.S. criticial response before it’s unconfirmed Australian opening before the end of the year.

Even in the short glimpses of the trailer, how good does Brolin look?

The aforementioned very mellow reinvention of The Church’s ‘Under The Milky Way’ by Bobby Flynn. It’s a shame I couldn’t find a live version on YT, because that slinky seductive bridge is a joy to watch performed.

Bit late to post on this, but I saw Bobby Flynn last Tuesday night at one of Sydney’s best live music venues, The Basement. He’s touring to promote his new album, ‘Out Front’. I don’t have the album yet, but it’s definitely on my next-to-buy list, particularly after the great show he put on for [...]

First off, I didn’t comment on last week’s departure of Brooke Addamo, mainly because there wasn’t very much interesting about the show itself (Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’ was just OK) and I definitely wasn’t devastated about Brooke’s departure.

From his underappreciated solo album ‘Some Devil’, Dave Matthews with ‘Oh’:

Dave is one of my favourite artists to watch perform. He really makes his guitar talk and his vocal range stretches from blistering jams to tender, intimate ballads like the one above.
Love that simile in ‘Oh’, “like a kid loves candy and fresh snow.” [...]

Tonight’s special guest judge is introduced as “one of the most important artists of all time.” And if you didn’t know it was Cyndi Lauper beforehand, I think she would probably be your 7856th guess.
I love the total refusal to acknowledge that these “special” guests are often ex-stars who just happen to have a new [...]
