the daily poxy soundsystem: liz green - bad medicine



who is she: liz green

sounds like: part folk, part blues, all amazing.

why we love her: experiencing hyperglycaemia as a result of over-exposure to saccharine girlpop? she’s the antidote.

most likely to say: don’t give me none of that medicine for i'll spit it right back out.

not out of place on a: vintage emporium playlist.

something to ponder: the sunday times calls your music “haunting and beautiful”; how do you top that?

the daily poxy soundsystem: weezer - only in dreams



who are they: weezer

sounds like
: you're 14 again (provided you were born in the same year as i was). or, more prosaically, everyone's favourite quirky alt-rockers take on the epic last tune, and pass with flying colours.

why we love them: i loved weezer because my year 9 boyfriend loved weezer. his favourite song was my name is jonas. he also introduced me to the wrist-slittingly divine jeff buckley. so, all in all, not a bad kid (hi jono if you're reading this).

most likely to say: our lead singer shares his name with a body of water and new york state governor.

not out of place on a: stereo at 3am: the streamers are wilting, and a lone dancer sways out of time, lighter in the air.

something to ponder: did the bassist get incredibly irritable, playing the same riff for 8 minutes non-stop?

the daily poxy soundsystem: groove armada - at the river



who are they: groove armada

sounds like
: sunset at your favourite beach: sand between your toes, salt in your eyelashes and the smell of fish and chips with vinegar on your hands. don’t forget to wipe the sand off your feet before your get back in the kingswood, kids.

why we love them: um, it’s groove armada. next question please.

most likely to say: we are groove armada, we’re fond of sand dunes and salty air (and superstyling).

not out of place on a : ministry chill out compilation you buy during schoolies week in byron bay (c. 2001).


something to ponder
: why can’t the weather always be balmy? and where can we get some good fish and chips?
