Trash Humpers
Trash Humpers is about a group of trash humpers. Depending on your inclination, Korine's new flick is either about much, much more - or nothing at all.
A group of 'senior citizens' (Korine and Co. in laughably bad old people masks) hump trash (and trees/plants), get drunk, destroy stuff, and mouth off to each other with interchangeable brawl-baiting and aggressive porno talk ("bitch" and "motherfucker" abound).
Tuthilltown Spirits
I don't often have house guests. They eat my food, stink up the place, complain about the music, and forget to use coasters. P'shaw! Plus, I have to put pants on when they're over. So screw you house guests!
It's a shame though. The Tuthilltown Spirits in my cupboard would surely impress company.
Ghostwood + Surf City
What:
Ghostwood + Surf City
Where:
Beach Rd Hotel, 71 Beach Road, Bondi
When:
Wed Sept 8, 8pm
How much:
Free
Description:
I wasn't that into Ghostwood when they first came out. Then they released the 'Rest My Soul' video, which blew my mind with echoes of Ride and space rock heaviness. They alone are worth the trip into the man-cleavage and bimbette minefield that is Bondi. But add in the dizzyingly awesome rock of New Zealand's Surf City - and the fact that it's FREE? Whoa.
Event Type: Gig
Genre: Music
Location: Eastern Suburbs

Description:
As creepy and foreboding as they are, I've always wanted to peek inside the former brick-making kilns at Sydney Park. Kaldor Public Art Projects have made my spelunking fetishist fantasies come true, allowing sound artist Stephen Vitiello to create sound installations in three of the buildings.

Xiu Xiu interview
Jamie Stewart's band Xiu Xiu are intense. Actively experimental yet equally rock, they juxtapose noise and industrial sounds with hooks and riffs making music that's disorienting, heavy, intoxicating, and beautiful. With lyric matter pulled from real life events - in the band member's lives, or people close to them - their songs alternate between creepy, sad, cryptic, poignant, and funny.
WR: Mysteries of the Organism
What:
WR: Mysteries Of The Organism
Where:
Chauvel Cinema, Cnr Oxford St & Oatley Rd, Paddington
When:
Mon Aug 30, 6.30pm
How much:
$18/$15 for one month Cinemateque membership ($4.50/$3.75 per film)
Description:
Occasionally, counterculture artifacts from the hippy era emerge which blow minds with glimpses of real radicalness that would never get produced today. WR stands for Wilhelm Reich, a pioneer in research linking politics and sex. This free-wheeling 1971 Yugoslavian documentary-slash-fictional narrative combines 60s sexual lib, drag queens, political rhetoric and talking severed heads.
