New Planes deals in special interest goods and services. They have a penchant for vinyl, niche publishing, artists books, interesting clothing, loud garage and punk. They're banging it all together this Sunday at a micro fair + day gig in a tiny tiny Redfern parking lot. A fair of native ideas in a new plane.
Event: Fair
Stimulus: Benefit gig
Your favourite dough dealer just got better. They were already frisbeeing crispy bases to hungry mouths from their stores all over town, and now Newtown invites you upstairs to a dedicated pizza party room. Sure, you've done that at Pizza Hut when you were, like, eight. But, they've sweetened the deal further with a record player and the call to bring your own vinyl.
A few years ago on a road trip down the South Coast, my friends and I stumbled upon a place called 'Fun Land'. Obviously we stopped, awed by the audacity. A land of fun? In Ulladulla? Please. We'll show YOU fun, people-who-live-outside-of-Sydney. We emerged hours later, spent, and in one unfortunate case, splattered with vomit.

Some records, such as the Rolling Stones' rare 1972 first Spanish MONO issue of the 1965 12-track LP, OUT OF OUR HEADS, are worth holding onto. Ahem. Then there are others, like WINGS - GREATEST HITS, which need the heave-ho. What to do? You can melt them into wavy bowls, or you can turn them into art.
Event: Exhibition
Stimulus: Nostalgia
Sick of setting your alarm for 3am on a Thursday morning, just to be outbid by some 'I'm in a more convenient time zone than you' jerk on eBay? Us too! So, with a bit of research/luck we've found the best online record dealer this side of the Equator. Meet Craig Mitchell, he's the man behind Modern World Records.
Easily our favourite record store in Sydney, Lawson's lays claim to a great collection of used CDs, DVDs and vinyl. They also carry stacks of original pressings and obscure compilations. Every time we get something there it feels like we've discovered a fragment of history that must now be passed on to us.
