You may have played some variation of Punch Buggy in childhood, but we’ve developed a more sophisticated and elaborate version for grown-ups. Here’s how it works.

This year, the 1980s music revival has given us Ladyhawke (Cyndi Lauper), Keane (Nik Kershaw), The Saturdays (Bananarama), Adele (Alison Moyet) and Kylie Minogue (Kylie Minogue). So far, so good. But what about all those miserable electro-goth rock bands? Who is representing them ? Step up White Lies, who are The Cult, Joy Division and Depeche Mode all rolled up into one long cigarette of dark. Enjoy!...

You can talk about genres, artists, albums, or even songs, but sometimes what keeps us coming back to music is the discovery of the transcendent musical moment. For me, “the moment” is the part of the song that fully and utterly engages me; the reason that I keep coming back to it. I’m not necessarily talking [...]

The Obama girls have been invited onto Hannah Montana, their favourite TV show, according to The Age. Hopefully they will also listen to Bananarama and watch Futurama while they’re at it.

After all, “Kath and Kim” was also supposed to be an Australian critical darling, and while that [...]

Angus Kidman, editor of our Aussie-focused cousin site, can admit both that he was near the front row of a Bananarama concert, and that the pictures he took from his cell phone camera were nothing great.
