Right now, she’s in Nairobi, Kenya – the first of those worlds – visiting family and reconnecting with her roots. The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and you can tell she feels at home here, even as the clock ticks toward her return to her other life in Adelaide. “It’s been good,” she says of the trip, a smile in her voice, “really refreshing.

It all started pretty humbly for Skerryvore. Brothers Daniel and Martin ‘Marty’ Gillespie grew up on the small, windswept island of Tiree, off the west coast of Scotland. Surprisingly, Tiree is actually an unexpected surfing destination. With a population of only 600, the brothers found themselves without many hobbies. But the island, steeped in traditional music and Gaelic culture, seemed to offer a natural path for them. And they followed it.

Talking with Budjerah, the conversation flows like a natural back-and-forth, a friendly volley. For every question I ask, he fires one right back. On my Zoom screen, his face is instantly warm and approachable – one of the most polite, charming interviews I’ve had in a while. “I’ve had a very good morning,” he tells me from his home in the Tweed Shire.

Thereafter, I remember the perfect pastel sky. The red roses. The white picket fence. The children crossing the street. It was a perfect depiction of suburbia. Until you see a man having a heart- attack whilst watering his grass. This juxtaposition set David Lynch apart as a film- maker. He calmed you down only to stab you in the heart two seconds later. While I don’t believe I went to sleep that night, I do remember something changing in my brain that night. A lust for the underbelly of regular life.

Now, this tour is a big deal. It’s been nearly 30 years since the Pistols last hit these shores, and now they’re back, joined by one of modern punk’s most ferocious frontmen. Frank Carter isn’t just a guest—he’s a perfect fit, bringing raw energy and respect for the tracks that changed the face of music. If their 2024 London shows were anything to go by, this is going to be pure chaos—in the best way.

Kicking things off with After Disaster, Green wasted no time pulling the crowd into his world. Every note felt like it carried the weight of a thousand unspoken emotions. Harder Than Stone and Weightless followed, weaving together threads of introspection and hope, before the beautifully personal The Love Still Held Me Near reminded everyone why City and Colour’s music cuts so deep.

The album marks a big shift for My Morning Jacket, with production now being handled by Brendan O’Brien. This marks a decidedly big change for frontman Jim James, who has historically steered the ship himself. Speaking about the collaboration, James shared, “Up until now I’ve never been able to let go and allow someone else to steer the ship. But in the end, I enjoyed the process maybe more than I ever have before.”The record features 10 new tracks, born out of two exploratory writing sessions.

The track, which dropped last year during Drake and Lamar’s highly publicised feud, accused Drake of being a “certified pedophile.” Its artwork featured Drake’s home marked with symbols resembling a registry map for sex offenders. Shortly after the track’s release, a shooting outside Drake’s property injured a security guard, with the lawsuit likening the incident to “the 2024 equivalent of Pizzagate.”“This isn’t about the artist who created Not Like Us,” Drake’s filing states.

More Lane Pittman Lane Pittman is something of an enigma. On the surface, he might seem like just another eighteen-year-old from Tamworth—luscious mullet, mo, and all—someone you'd expect to see enjoying a beer with mates at the local pub. But spend about three minutes talking to him, and you are acutely reminded why Pittman stands in a league of his own.
