http://www.thepunch.com.au/author-bios/mikey-cahill/ Mikey Cahill won a contest in Year 11 to name the school literary magazine Paper Thoughts. It was a sign. He has written for Inpress, http://www.residentadvisor.net.au, The Australian, DJ Mag, Mixmag but his heart lies with Hit Magazine at the Herald Sun where he looks after the Rock City and Clubland columns as well as all listings that are spruced for the spruiking. He prefers the title Culture Consultant to journalist. AVANTI!

He wore lipstick and lavish beauty products and took much more time than most of his male counterparts when getting ready. Yep, Mick Jagger was the first Metrosexual. He was The Man…who slightly resembled a woman. Modern day metros like Pharell Williams, David Beckham, Marc Anthony and Orlando Bloom should doff their fedoras to Jagger, the grandfather of metrosexuality and an outstanding individual who championed individuality. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Mikey Cahill) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/mick-jaggers-still-putting-the-sex-into-metrosexual/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/mick-jaggers-still-putting-the-sex-into-metrosexual/#item7683 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 19:45:20 +0000 Mikey Cahill | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/rolling-in-the-deep-why-sad-songs-make-us-happy/ No matter where you are right now, if you listen really hard, you can probably hear Gotye and Kimbra’s song Somebody That I Used To Know. Hell, you’ve probably been humming it all day. It’s as ubiquitous as the waft of cherry blossoms and has racked up 140,000 sales (double platinum!), 6 million views on YouTube and a legion of international twitter fans via Ashton Kutcher, Katy Perry and others with actual music taste. It’s a very sad song making a lot of people very happy. So why has Gotye and Kimbra’s paean to pain resonated with music fans all over the world? It’s a tricky question but one I can answer for you, curious reader. Partly, it’s about empowerment. A tight arrangement, catchy verses and soaring chorus can make you forget all about that person what dun you wrawwwng. But mostly it’s not about that at all. Mostly it’s about recognising – almost subliminally – that a sad song has more truth in it than a happy song. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Mikey Cahill) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/rolling-in-the-deep-why-sad-songs-make-us-happy/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/rolling-in-the-deep-why-sad-songs-make-us-happy/#item6738 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 19:55:57 +0000 Mikey Cahill | Author bios | The Punch
