by Paul Cashmere

The Beatles played six concerts in Melbourne on that one and only Australian tour of 1964, two shows each on the 15, 16 and 17th of June.

A Deep Dive Into The Rolling Stones ‘Hackney Diamonds’

by Paul Cashmere

The first time I heard ‘Hackney Diamonds’ I loved it. The Stones finally had an album of new songs and they sounded great, instantly catchy and memorable. However, by the third listen it starts to feel like a Pop record by a Rock band. Producer Andrew Watt (Justin Bieber, The Kid Laroi, Post Malone as well as Ozzy Osbourne, Elton John and Eddie Vedder) was a strange choice for a band like The Stones. (I was up to eight in a row listens by the time this was finalised).
