Have you heard the Tame Impala EP? It sounds like a bunch of long haired dudes were sitting around in their garage, found a whole bunch of dusty gear in the corner, shrugged and decided to jam it out. This is probably exactly what happened with the Perth trio. The result is a fuzzy psychedelic rock space-out that you should turn the lights real low to.

Take a look at the weather forecast - 27. 28. 29. 26. Sunny. Sunny. Sunny. The spring's finally settling into a balmy summer, so you can run around and do things like ride your bike aimlessly, suck on ice blocks, lie on the grass, and run through sprinklers. The Lucksmiths write songs as if they're living a perpetual suburban summer.

Spring Break! It's nearing silly season, which means we should be running around, ripping off our shirts and swinging them around over our heads whilst laughing manically, crashing into each other and falling into the pool. While there's no pool here, we're sure you can improvise, way into the AM. And the dress code? Blue and white.

Saturdays are made to laze about. You can burst fresh into the weekend with a stroll, a drink, a browse. And so we have the Cricketers Market, which is a wee little skip from the similarly fun Surry Hills Market. Both will give you a nice selection of vintage and new clothes, jewellery, plants and flowers, records, food and more.

A DOUBLE PASS. JUST EMAIL WIN@TWOTHOUSAND.COM.AU WITH THE SUBJECT 'M.I.A A.O.K'
There's this interview with M.I.A. floating around on the net, where they ask her what she's been doing since 'retirement', and she talks about pouring all her party banger goodness into her protege, Rye Rye. The camera swings to the right, and there Rye Rye is, cute as a button, and she gives a little wave.

Do you remember before Madonna was Madge - the cranky, health-obsessed woman going through a bitter divorce - she was simply the Queen of Pop? When you'd dance around in your bedroom to THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION, clutching it to your chest? Yves Klein Blue and The Holidays do, which is why they're coming together for ‘The Immaculate Confection' tour.

There are times when the wallet runs a little empty, and things get a little tight. During these times, finding five bucks in the bottom of your bag - or even a boiled sweet - can be wildly exciting. It's also during these times that Proper's free monthly hip hop parties provide a much-needed social life saviour.
