Won't hurt a bit - Stray
STRAY is about random adventure and escape. STRAY is about pretending that Perth is Ferris Bueller's Day Off and that fun and money aren't mutually exclusive. STRAY is cheap hijinx, cheap dates and the outings you could be planning while you're actually watching Video Hits on a weekend at 11am.
13 Most Beautiful... Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests
It was a golden rule of Andy Warhol's The Factory in ‘60s New York that on one's initial arrival at the space - be you rock star, celebutante or famed street hustler - you would have to pose for Mr Warhol's Super 8 camera. It was Andy's way of giving everyone their own 15 minutes of fame. Now, over 40 years later, a select few of these famed screen tests have been gathered together under the title 13 Most Beautiful.
SixThousand Laneway Markets
No matter how many mint acts are on the bill, there's always going to be "dead festival time". Not familiar with this concept? Well - you've just been blown away by Black Lips when you consult your crumpled timetable and note the next decent act is a lifetime (20mins) away. The intermediate period is called "dead festival time" and SixThousand is murdering it.
UWA Science Library
Have you recently been to a bank that's just a bit too cool? One of those uber-modern joints with International Orange beanbags and coffee machines, and a teller who wants to high-five you at the end of the transaction? I walk out of these banks in a heady daze of mochaccino and compound interest.
BARE - ECU Contemporary Fashion Graduate Show
So that plan of yours you told us about for this Saturday? The one that involved you rubbing some black shoe polish under your eyes, ripping up a pair of black pantyhose and wearing it as a top, roping 2L milk containers (spraypainted silver) to the underside of your feet, before heading out to a dingy bar to get photographed in corners.
An Evening with David Sedaris
David Sedaris is a lot like getting drunk on dry apple cider. Which, I am at the moment. It's refreshing, summery, and a lot of fun for about an hour and a half. Then it gives you a headache. So it's very convenient that his fun, refreshing, summer speaking engagement on Tuesday is only 90 minutes long.
Background Artists of the Cinema
I could never get into Twin Peaks. Maybe I didn't give it enough time, maybe I'm a fool, but the four episodes I saw were more than enough. Despite the sour impression, I still remember the scene-stealing pirouette by a mystery actor in the background of the high-school hallway. The swift spin and extended ‘energy transfer' out of frame stayed with me longer ever since, even if his name remained unknown.
An Artificial Picnic
What's this? It's an artificial lawn picnic! Let's get back to nature!
Sure it's green, but is it...green?
There is nothing quite like heading out for an artificial lawn picnic on a hot summer's day, laying down the picnic blanket onto the spikier-than-Johnny-Rotten phony turf and feeling that oh-so-real lawn gently massaging your ass like Sven's sandals massage your feet.
