Things to do in Sydney - TwoThousand
TwoThousand is a weekly snapshot of Sydney's subculture - a Sydney guide to film, music, design, books, art, goods and links for people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. Below you will find the latest additions to our Sydney guide.
Taxi Tips
So here's the situation. You're a cool young thing, you've been out on the town cruisin' the strip with your own two feet, maybe you found someone to cruise and strip with, maybe you didn't, but it's time to go home and you need a cab 'cause you're drunk (which is still cool no matter what the government tells you).
Houlette, Bless Bless
Houlette is the sugar cube in your Stockholm Blend tea. Their French-pop, country-esque folk minimalism reminds you of bettertimes, of simpler times when salt came iodised and men rode horses.
Bless Bless (which translates to ‘farewell' in Icelandic) is the band's debut album, following the successes of their precursor releases.
R.M. Williams Boots
Reginald Murray Williams would be chuffed to see his bespoke riding boots taking to the streets. Fenella Peacock (Ant!pod!um) originally introduced us to that special combination of ruggedness and femininity that can be achieved with frilly skirts and "blunnies". It seems that people listened, as stockman boots are stomping through trendy laneways right now.
Built in Wardrobes
Michelle Hanlin may fool you with her kinder sherbet colour palette but it's important you realise she is performing a particularly good assault of the contemporary monument.
If you were to term it in music, her works (sculptural and painted still lifes, busts and figures on ornamental plinths) are much like Sonic Youth appropriating Debussy with a spoken word introduction from the local St Vinnies clerk.
