Natural Selection Magazine
Growing up in the quiet, beautiful and boring confines of New Zealand, I find myself feeling an unhealthy affinity for the place now I don't live there. This affinity has grown to include anything at all that touches the hands of any Kiwi. NATURAL SELECTION is one of those things, not that it isn't absolutely justified.
Kevin Murphy
I was in Melbourne recently with work and stayed in a great hotel. Admittedly the interiors bordered on the distasteful end of that modern minimalist design rubbish, but my girlfriend at the time and I enjoyed it all the same. They had an amazing lap pool with a glass bottom that jutted out over the edge of the rooftop, the sinks and bath were all stainless steel.
doingbird Magazine
There are so many fashion culture-led periodicals around that it truly does take something quite considered to cut through the sea of all of them. DOINGBIRD, published by local Photographer (my band mate and good friend) Max Doyle and Art Director Malcolm Watt, really accomplishes this. Ignoring any of my own involvement, it defiantly pulls together the best creative talent from around the globe.
Long Night, Jim O'Rourke
I am an embarrassingly huge fan of Jim O'Rourke's solo work, I think HALFWAY TO A THREEWAY and EUREKA are probably some of the most played records in my collection. Most will know him from his time spent in The Red Krayola, Sonic Youth and Loose Fur, but he has remained incredibly prolific outside those bands; quite literarily involved in hundreds of recordings.
Paris Transatlantic
Music eZines, like MESS+NOISE or PITCHFORK, are great vehicles for promotion (and perhaps hype) if you are an independent artist or label. They have grown to have a real impact on the industry and musicians. Rarely though, do you find an online music magazine that is willing to delve deep while remaining somewhat esoteric in its content.
2046
I don't really watch a lot of film, or TV, nor do I know enough about it to do any sort of adequate critique, but I will do my best here.
I recently saw 2046 by Writer/Director Kong Kar-Wai, which is about four years old now. It's a love story that ambles through the city of Shanghai following a couple different intertwined narratives.

I met Jack and Angie when I first moved to Sydney, at the time they were playing in an amazing band called Kiosk. Circle Pit is their new project and it is arguably even better. St Helens are making the trek up from Melbourne and are also an incredible band. It will be great to share a bill with the both of them again, especially at such a great venue.
