love out loud: taking your relationship (status) for granted
One week ago tonight, I sat down to watch the Australian Open final with my mum (my dad gave it a miss because of his high blood pressure), reverting to my old habits of getting things done with my Mac on my lap and a glass of red in hand. As I was cracking open [...]
interview: gold bloom
They were picked by Triple J to play at Adelaide’s Laneway Festival, found their way onto Adelaide’s Big Day Out bill, and were selected as one of Rip It Up’s Hot 6 for 2012. What Gold Bloom haven’t done yet is release a recording! Lip had a chat to the Adelaide quartet about the big [...]
love out loud: resolve not to date douchebags
Resolutions concerning your love life are difficult to make as goal-oriented as other areas. Saying, ‘this year, I will meet Mr/Ms Right’ is hard to execute unless you’re prepared to lower your standards (and I don’t mean that to say that only “low quality” people want relationships, but rather that people you want to spend [...]
interview: thee oh sees
Speaking to Brigid Dawson of Thee Oh Sees is one of the oddest, and yet most enjoyable interviews I’ve ever done. It kind of feels like being on a first date, where you’re interested in what they’re saying, and they’re polite and informative, but it’s not until you hit on that magic question that brings [...]
love out loud: the hellcat dream girl
We’re all pretty familiar by now with the Manic Pixie Dream Girl: the term coined by the AV Club’s Nathan Rabin to describes characters such as Natalie Portman’s Sam in Garden State, and pretty much every character played by Zooey Deschanel over the past few years. They’re essentially designed to catalyse a male protagonist’s development, [...]
q&a: eliza hull
Describe your sound in five words or less. Honest. Dramatic. Electronic. Pop. Shifting. Was there a particular moment or artist that made you want to pursue music when you were growing up? Who were your early influences? During my school years I would set up a make shift stage in the lounge room, I would [...]
top 5 songs of 2011, according to dunja nedic
Lanie Lane – ‘Ain’t Hungry’ 2011 has seen me discover a number of female blues and soul singers, but I would have to say that Lanie Lane’s ‘Ain’t Hungry’ just edges ahead of the pack in terms of my favourite such song (and indeed, any song) for the year. This all-too-short track was produced by [...]
q&a: jess mcavoy
A veteran and darling of Australia’s music industry, Melbourne singer and songwriter (not to mention, writer and painter), Jess McAvoy, has now moved to the US to show the northern hemisphere why her home country fell in love with her. Have a read of her inspiring Q&A with Lip, and just keep your fingers crossed [...]

interview: easy star all-stars
Being in a cover band doesn’t tend to net you a whole lot of “real” fans. Altogether reinterpreting classic songs is perhaps an even greater risk, it is one that the New York City-based reggae collective, Easy Star All-Stars, has undertaken with passion, love, and success to boot. Easy Star All-Stars have indeed become best [...]
