Degustation
Degustation is an amazing way to eat. It holds my short attention span and keeps both mind and tastebuds interested. However, there is a certain amount of prep involved to commit to a degustation. For one, it takes a strong mind to pass up on lunch or an arvo snack. You have to commit to it and prepare to indulge.
The Canyons
Electronic music might not be suitable for breakfast, but you can really shake the salt and crack the pepper to this s##t. A duo making seriously interesting tunes to stimulate the mind...real spaced-out throughout a lot of the tracks. I am really feeling ‘Apples and Pears'. The guys are signed to Hole in the Sky who are making a good name for themselves for finding ‘the' talent.
River Cottage Forever, Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall
This is another one of those cooking shows that I seem to be addicted to at the moment. There is something mind-numbing about watching cooking, leaving plenty of time to entertain the other side of the brain with any computer heating up your region.
The show is about Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, a British chef who spent a brief period as a sous-chef at River Café but was made redundant for "being messy" and "lacking discipline".
Bobby Black Bird and the Blue Jays
Bobby Black Bird and The Blue Jays are a three piece form Perth. While they're now scattered about Australia, I knew of the band for a while and was fortunate enough to hear them play at the Forum in Melbourne supporting the Black Keys with Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings. The EP sold out through out Japan, USA, Europe and Australia so you would be hard-pressed to find one, but a full-length album is soon to come.
Extinction Sucks
This is not so much a destination, but a place that everyone's mind should be straying at least once a day with our current position in the world. Anyone devoting their life to a cause makes an interesting subject for me personally. And Aleshia Caruso is a highly dedicated conservation solider.
EXTINCTION SUCKS is a documentary-style insight into her plight for a fair life for a lot of endangered animals.
