Exhibiting wholly characteristic egocentricity, Depp spends a lot of time ranting about how awful it is to be him.

Album Review – “Moving House” By Moving House
25 Feb 2013 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Moving House’ debut/self titled album is one which every ‘Hipster’ on Kloof Street – sporting a denim shirt, bowler hat and a pair of skinny jeans with a skinny Caffè Mocha in one hand, an iPhone in the other, has been anticipating. Even though one might feel that this band caters to a pop/indie lover, […]

Album Review – “Ceremonials” By Florence + The Machine
12 Jan 2012 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
To all the guys out there, if you’ve ever sat through p.s. I Love You starring Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler, you’ll know that the movie makes listening to Slipknot played backwards at maximum volume for 12 hours straight seem more fulfilling. It’s the story of a charming Irish lad who falls in love with […]

Album Review: “Mine Is Yours” by Cold War Kids
21 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
You know the way a lot of professional “critics” seem to be incredibly satisfied with every word that emanates from their non-smiling mouths? Well, I reckon the reason for this is that deep down inside they know their role in society is, in fact, quite menial. Nothing they say really matters when all is said […]

Album Review: Frank Sinatra – Best Of Vegas
08 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Sinatra. Ol’ Blue Eyes. The Chairman of the Board. It’s hard to know where to start with Frank Sinatra. There’s the young Frank of the 1940’s, the Oscar winning movie star, The Rat Pack years, with his old pals Sammy Davis, Dean Martin and the boys. Then there’s the manic depression, the equal rights activist […]

Album Review – Gods Of Guitar
05 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Not many true guitar gods have walked this earth. In the hands of these rare beings, the guitar is more than a six stringed musical instrument; it is a source of immense power, a weapon of mass destruction, a light saber, the most magical of wands, capable of removing a groupy’s panties with a single […]

Album Review: ‘Live On Ten Legs’ By Pearl Jam
04 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
When you go and see U2 in concert you expect a religious experience of some kind. And why wouldn’t you? God is on lead vocals after all. And the price of the ticket leads you to believe He’s going to pay you some special attention, forgive you for your sins and send you on your […]

Album Review – ‘Rock Dust Light Star’ By Jamiroquai
02 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Although I didn’t know it at the time, all my friends at school in England were way cooler than me. I was listening to Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Guns n’ Roses, Blind Melon and the Peppers while they were into the Acid Jazz scene that was considered extremely hip in England at the time. But I […]

Album Review – ‘Lonely Avenue’ By Ben Folds
06 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Great song lyrics are almost impossible to master. And that’s before they’ve even been weaved into a perfect melody. When the two come together it’s alchemy. Some songwriters only manage it once in their lifetimes. We have a name for them. Hands up who knows what it is. Writing a great lyric seems like it […]

Album Review: ‘Sigh No More’ By Mumford & Sons
04 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
Lets just deal with the name first. Mumford & Sons. Not ideal, if you’re trying to be cool that is. There are bands out there with names like Jane’s Addiction, Primal Scream and, of course, The Rolling Stones. Just plain cool. In fact, if there’s one thing the Stones had over the Beatles, it was their name. The Beetles would have been better, but they had to get playful and incorporate the word “beat” into their name. Naughty guys, very naughty. You were young and you thought you were being clever, but no one loves a pun. I guess you made up for it though.
But Mumford & Sons? That’s a lot to make up for. I’m not even sure that John, Paul and the boys could do enough to distract us from that incredibly dorky name. I’ve seen it being mentioned in various music magazines and have sub-consciously just ignored the band. But then I started hearing that they were getting a reputation for incredible live shows with a kind of party atmosphere where everybody just lets loose.

ALBUM REVIEW: MEAT LOAF’S NEW “HANG COOL TEDDY BEAR”
27 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
It takes a recessionista’s ear to appreciate the genius of Meat Loaf. Meat Loaf has never been everyone’s cup of tea. Apart from one time in the late 70’s when Bat Out of Hell sold 48 million copies. Ok so yes, Meat Loaf was once everyone’s cup of tea, but that was before most of […]
