Project Runway Australia: Eliminate Kristy Hinze

I only dislike a couple of things about Project Runway Australia, and one of them is WHO sexiest covergirl Kristy Hinze.

City Homicide: Creepy Peter O'Brien

Sometimes City Homicide can feel like a typical cop show, a bit of Blue Heelers in the city but with homicide detectives instead of police officers.

So You Think You Can Dance: TV Gold

I have a confession to make. For some reason I can't get enough of reality television.

MGMT – Oracular Spectacular (Columbia/Sony BMG)

I've been quite getting into this fresh new band from New York.

UNKLE – End Titles…Stories For Film (Pod/Inertia)

It seems UNKLE can always be relied on to just get better and better with each release, even after their last album War Stories was so unimaginably good.

Ben Watt - Buzzin’ Fly: 5 Golden Years In the Wilderness (Stomp)

Back in the mid-90s, Ben Watt was half of Everything But The Girl - one of the seminal groups that brought dance and electronic music out of the clubs and into the mainstream spearheaded by their massive hit Missing.

I ♥ Punk (Central Station)

Long before the mega-success of groups like Green Day and the contemporary wave of punk offshoots such as emo, bands like the Ramones, Dead Kennedys and the New York Dolls built this seminal musical genre in reaction to the overblown glam rock of the 1970s.

Pop Levi – Never Never Love (Inertia)

Every now and then, a singer comes along who really is a breath of fresh air. In this follow up to last year's critically acclaimed debut, Pop Levi solidifies his place as an unusual, charming and irresistibly fabulous talent.

Coldplay – Viva La Vida Or Death and All His Friends (EMI)

Coldplay captured many new fans with their expansive stadium rock of X&Y, so it would make sense (and would even be good) to expect this album (which has far too wordy a title to repeat) to be a kind of X&Y mark II. But it's not just the length of the title that's done an about face.

DubXanne – the Police In Dub (Echo Beach/Inertia)

It's not surprising that the music of the Police lends itself so well to updating through the lens of contemporary dub and reggae, given they often had a tinge of reggae in a lot of their music.
