Looking into the future....

This my first post for the year that isn't a live review so I thought I'd use this opportunity to throw out there some of my predictions for 2007.




Crystal Castles
will become your new favourite band in 2007. You may not know this yet, but I can guarantee they will blow up this year. Their electronic 8-bit freak-outs should be making their way to good dancefloors pretty soon, if your local DJ is also bitten by the Crystal Castles bug, which I hope they are. They are Canadian, which is always a good thing, and they sound like 1989 and 2007 simultaneously, also a good thing.

Winterkids will be the new Arctic Monkeys. Their jangly sound sounds somewhat similar to their UK brethren and they have the NME hyperbole to back them up. Quality wise they are in the same ballpark, which doesn't augur well for Winterkids.

Shoegaze will return and take over the indie music world once more and Kevin Shields will collaborate with Asobi Seksu on a new album.

!!! and LCD Soundsystem will release the best albums of the year to dance to, with the new Arcade Fire album being just as pretentious and utterly pointless as their last and Pocket Symphony will be Air's best ever release, even better than Moon Safari. The new Metallica album will sound like Master Of Puppets, under the instruction of their lawyers and Ryan Adams will release a Hip-Hop album.

Daft Punk will tour Australia as pigs have discovered their feet can actually function as wings.

Kitsune and Ed Banger are the new Modular with Paris being the new Sydney, with attractive hipster girls and skinny white boys crunking to Busy P. and Uffie instead of The Presets and Klaxons as Modular will be come so passe apparently.

2007 is the year everyone will become a DJ, meaning it will no longer be cool to be a DJ, therefore making it cool to be a DJ once more. Electro will become even more mainstream with more ubiquitous Austereo play and DJ's trying to be edgy will be playing minimalist Techno and Kuduro. RSL clubs and VL Commodores will be the only location where you can hear a DJ or stereo play House music, as House music is now the new Trance, while Trance can only be heard at Bloc and Sublime from now on.

This will not be the last Big Day Out ever.

2007 will be a great year.

ha, it should be the last BDO ever.
And modular is a fad label, with fad bands.
Hail the new breed.
