Jay-Z Announces New Album ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’

Amid a frenzied weekend surrounding the premature release of Kanye’s latest album/baby, hip hop legend Jay-Z has reclaimed the spotlight from his Watch The Throne collaborator with the announcement of a new album due in July.

With similarly questionable deity references a la Kanye West's Yeezus, Jay-Z’s twelfth studio…

Live Review: Jesus Christ Superstar At Entertainment Centre, Tue Jun 4

Whether you came for the musical or for the chance to see a Spice Girl in the flesh (guilty), Jesus Christ Superstar offered a truly religious experience for fans of rock operas and satire of Biblical proportions. With ticket sales across both Adelaide shows selling out rapidly, it…

The Internship Review

If you can see past the fact that this pic features the most extreme and shameless product placement in cinematic history, producer/director Shawn Levy’s endearingly silly character comedy should hit just the right buttons (get it?).

Local Film Student Goes Viral With ‘In My Shoes’

Adelaide film student Nima Raoofi is the latest local to go viral on YouTube, proving you don’t need a multimillion-dollar budget to be a successful interweb machine (all you need is a cat in a box on a skateboard, see Cat Boarding).

The Persian refugee, who moved here a year…

Disclosure: Settle

You wouldn’t believe it at first listen – nor second, nor third – but the production duo behind much-hyped dance newcomers Disclosure are brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence, aged just 19 and 22. Equally as unbelievable is that their full-length album Settle is the pair’s debut. In Australia they’re clearly…

Jagwar Ma Announce Headline Australian Tour
