The Voice Australia Final Blind Auditions The final set of blind auditions for The Voice aired on Tuesday night. The last bunch of hopeful competitors were:- Prinnie Stevens – Sang Sweet Dreams another Beyonce song. Beyonce seems to have been the favourite artist for source material among the competitors. Seal was first to turn his [...]

The Voice Australia Videos Highlights and Undiscovered Gems The first week of blind auditions for The Voice is over, so I thought I would put together what I thought were the highlights of the week. We have reviewed all of this weeks shows on this site. If you would like to see our thoughts and [...]

Cyndi Lauper, John Legend, Ray Davies… I made the mistake of tuning in a little late for Later this week, damn the ABC for moving it to Thursday nights. I must set up my PVR to record it automatically, so I don’t miss any of the show again. I think I probably missed the first [...]

Duane Eddy, Cee Lo Green, Steve Miller Band A great Episode of Later with Jools Holland was shown on Thursday night on ABC2. I am pretty sure these episodes are new to Australia, but were recorded in 2010 in the U.K. I’m sorry to see the show moved to this late spot (10:45) on a [...]

Thanks to everyone who has read my Blog this year. I hope that you have found it useful and interesting. There will be some changes in the new year and hopefully a bunch more readers who would like to add their opinion. In the meantime have a very Merry Christmas and I hope that it [...]

ABC2 Sunday 12th December Stereophonics:Rewind was aired on ABC2 on Sunday in Australia. This 2 hour film tells the story of the Stereophonics from their beginnings until 2007. It’s a very interesting story and has some great music included. The band started in Cwmaman, South Wales, where Kelly Jones and Stuart Cable, the original drummer, [...]

Tom Jones, Vampire Weekend, Corrine Bailey Rae… Vampire Weekend were first cab off the rank, with quite a cheery pop tune. It was not what I expected, maybe Vampires aren’t as dark and moody as they used to be. It was an OK tune, but may be better with a few more listens. Their second [...]

Alicia Keys, Macy Gray, White Rabbits, Jeff Beck… Alicia Keys kicked off the show with Empire State of Mind Part 2, a familiar radio tune from her 2009 album The Element of Freedom. She sung well, part of the time standing at the mike and part sitting at the piano. She looked good too in [...]

Kelis, The National, Crowded House… My love affair with the show is fading a little over the last couple of weeks. I still love the format and the fact that it is the only real live music show on TV, but the music itself has not been so inspiring in this show and the last. [...]

Hole, Ian Hunter, Ozzie, Iggy… Another review of my favorite show, but not one of my favorite episodes. Hole started the show with the sweetly titled Skinny Little Bitch, a driving rock song. Courtney Love looked healthy. Hole‘s next song was called For Once in Your Life, a slower tune, but her voice sounded worse. [...]
