To break the tedium of a nine hour game of chess, where the pieces are replaced by no necked muscle men, British rapper M.I.A. decided to give a one finger salute to the nearest TV camera. ‘What’s the big deal?’, asks the guardians of morals and good behaviour from Rave Magazine’s Rave On podcast. Coming up in this week’s edition, Alasdair Duncan, Rob Newcombe and Mitch Alexander survey that Superbowl halftime show along with the Boston-bound spin off to Jersey Shore and comic book icon Alan Moore’s latest outburst.

‘What’s going on in AV&A’? we suspect you’re asking your computer right now. Just as a teaser, there’s cool tunes from local cool kids The Last Dinosaurs, the wonderment of revisiting Seinfeld with a n00b and visual delights aplenty in the trailer for the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man reboot.
Finally, the trio take a look at this year’s nominees for the Australian Music Prize. Can anyone topple Gotye? Who has been treacherously left off the list? Tune in this week to find out!
