There’s a few things about Sydney town that you should know about. First up, Fraser Studios is no more! On Saturday I attended their closing bash, which despite the sad circumstances was a jovial affair, featuring some awesome psycho-billy bush punk band, Christa Hughes and a mobile Jaffle Jafe. I indulged in a tasty Quiche Urban, the perfect after dinner …
While taking a lunch break from schmoozing a little at the Arts Centre in Melbourne, I happened upon this fantastic piece of street art in one of the CBD’s hip and charming laneways. Loving the skeletal/greyhound/jackal/scientific drawing style imagery.
Meet my friend Danma, a Tibetan from a nomadic yak herding family in the Gansu province. Last weekend, I took her to a Rica Tetas gig. She has now been in Australia for over a year, studying at UTS with a goal of improving the living conditions for the poor communities in her homeland. This uni break, she will record …
My friend and Chicago based artist Elisabeth Blair is known for angelic voice. However, she has recently turned her hand to stop motion animation and has found quite a talent for it.

Check out Clairy Browne and the Bangin Rackette’s awesome doo-wop/soul music video, filmed in Geelong Prison. By all accounts they are a marvelous live act, and the Melbourne group are touring nationally in a couple of weeks! The lowdown on Sydney shows – they’re playing the Brass Monkey in Cronulla on Thursday 24 May and Good God the following night. …
Madame Tussaud’s has hit Sydney! This famous London icon has traveled to Darling Harbour. Its great fun whether you want to pose with faux celebrities, admire the workmanship or experience the uncanny feeling of being in a room where you can’t tell who’s real and who’s not. I found it very creepy to be around such life-like models, which were …
If you have the chance, do visit my dear friends, Miss Poly Mer & Miss Poly Ester in their knitted world under the sea. After exploding out of the Sydney Fringe Festival with an excellence award, Spinning A Yarn has catapulted onwards. Visit their Pozible page now to help them continue their journey educating young and old alike about plastic …
These days jewellery ads are much better than movies. Who wants to go watch a lame sequel to American Pie when I can stay at home and watch Cartier advertising? Perfurme ads are pretty good too.
