CAULDRON BLACK RAM talks to Mystic Metal
May 13th, 2012The very lovely, rockin’ Dea at Mystic Metal talked to Esh of Cauldron Black Ram recently.
You can see this killer interview HERE.
Note that the photographs are by one of my former photographers, Max Hale. Max is one of the few rock photographers in Australia who does not spend hours in photoshop post-gig, preferring to “get it right” the first time.
Enjoy! And thanks to Dea for her time!
Buy my stuff!

They’re all in super condition. Without exception. Well, maybe the Axel Rudi Pell disc, which was a promo (yes, really) and is unplayed. It’s absolutely perfect.

Public Holiday Rock-out: SCORPIONS
April 25th, 2012I’m rockin’ out to the SCORPIONS. Don’t you love public holidays?
We want original movies!
April 25th, 2012For quite some time now, Hellblazer and I have been moaning about the state of Hollywood. That is, the penchant for remaking films instead of creating new ones.
They are even remaking The Exorcist. THE EXORCIST. The most perfect horror film of all time. This is blasphemy.
You can now have your own little protest against this state of affairs. Buy one of my shirts. VISIT THE STORE NOW.
I intend to own the entire range. Yes I made them but I still have to buy them!
This is pretty much what they look like (below) but there’s a whole lot more:
EDIT (9 May 2012): The designs were changed because CafePress deemed the word “fuck” to be offensive. So they used to look like the below. Now they say “Fu*k you Hollywood” instead.
NO MORE REMAKES!
Get ‘em and wear ‘em proudly!!
Music Journalism 101: The Book
April 9th, 2012The book version of my original Music Journalism 101 course is finally becoming a reality.
Those of you who read this blog regularly will know that I have been promising a book edition of the course for a long time. Some of those who have used the course, and found it beneficial, have been regularly requesting it, too.
Well, good news! A solid portion of the book draft is already completed, with the remainder mapped out. With luck on my side, and some solid work, we will hopefully see this project completed by the end of June 2012. But no promises on a timeline. 
Since first writing the course, I have commented, written, and speculated on its various elements. The result is that the book will be fully updated and expanded to reflect my most current thinking in the field.
Interestingly, while the current course consists of approximately eleven sections, the current draft of the book is comprised of about twenty chapters.
The book edition of Music Journalism 101 will be of interest and use not only to beginning music/rock critics, but also to those already working in the field. It will cover all of the basics, but will also include sections on managing workloads, editing, and mentoring writers.
The book will also be road-tested ahead of publication, thanks to a handful of working music writers whom I respect. Some of these guys have also been users of the original course, so their perspectives will be immensely valuable.
Stay tuned for updates as the project progresses.
