  • Kumi Taguchi: 5 songs she’s deeply bonded to
    Kumi Taguchi is freshly minted author. Long known to us as a journo with ABC News and the current host of Insight on SBS, she’s just put out a beautiful memoir titled The Good Daughter.Kumi has always had that perfect blend of curiosity and empathy, it’s what makes her a great journo. She’s also got a strong grounding in music, having trained in violin as a child and even winning a scholarship to study music. So when I asked her to Take 5, I knew she'd have stories. Settle in for a beautiful convo about connection with the world, and finding yourself (with one helluva soundtrack).Deep Forest - Sweet LullabyJamiroquai - Too Young To DieThe Presets - PromisesL'Impératrice - Agitations TropicalesDaft Punk - Beyond

He’s the guy we look to as the polling booths close, crunching the numbers, understanding the swings, and with a brain and knowledge bank that would rival the best computers. Antony is an icon, and arguably the most trusted person in Australia.But who is he behind the numbers?

  • Zan returns to Slowdive's girls to the front songs
    Back in the early '90s, a little band called Slowdive were making waves in the UK. With wall of sound, they dwelled in the same realm as My Bloody Valentine, a real shoegaze sensibility, and they thrived. Then they hit a wall. As the loud, brash sounds of Britpop rose, the press soured on shoegaze, and the band decided to call it a day in the mid '90s.In 2013 they made a comeback and a few years later they made their first ever visit to Australia. As Slowdive ready their return for another tour in 2025, I’m reminded of a brilliant convo I had with singer Rachel Goswell on that first trip, when I invited her in to Take 5.  From her memories as a 7 year old dancing to ABBA, to idolising Siouxsie (and taking her song name as a band moniker), the shoegaze legend shares stories of the '90s British music press, and what is it that inspires her to make music today. ABBA - 'SOS'Grace Jones - 'La Vi En Rose'Siouxsie & The Banshees - 'Cities In Dust'Cocteau Twins - 'Lorelei'Joni Mitchell - 'River'
