Through a small slight of your eyesight you could have read this as Jack Bauer's book launch. I bet he'd moonlight as a Mills and Boon style rom-trash novelist when not counter terrorising international crims. But no, this is Jon Bauer, Melbourne-based short fiction writer and civilian. This is his first novel, the exploration of the mind of a precocious child as he moves into volatile young adulthood.

What do you think about when you hear the word 'hardcore'? Chubby bearded dudes in black hoodies with violent passive aggressive tendancies? Or Black Flag, '80s Dischord, F*cked Up and the good modern contemporaries who create new hardcore sounds removed from their '80s originators? There's hardcore and then there's hardcore.

It's a long weekend so you have every right to have a late Sunday. Stay inside, drink tea and eat chocolate if you will, but all you need is a coat, an umbrella, or a tarpaulin and you'll be just fine. After ripping people new ear drums around the place for a little over a year or so, Friends have an album and they want to play it to you at The Metro.

Abstract Landscape Paintings, Shota Karahawa

Article published 3rd Dec 09

Kawahara's artist statement on the Max Dawn blog includes the words ‘unconscious' and ‘visualising'. Now excuse me if I'm grossly oversimplifying someone's life work for the sake of a fashionable drug reference. But you know what those words mean? PSYCHEDELICA. Trippy shit.

Sure enough Kawahara's work consists of luridly bright colours, flower power influences and patterns.

No Through Road tell us their new 7-inch is "made from vinyl and everything". This got us a little concerned. What would happen if their new 7-inch was indeed made from vinyl AND everything? Would the universe collapse in on itself to form a black hole? Would flowers start growing downwards underground? Either way, we are certain that Matt Banham would still be a frontman, and we'd hope that Batrider were still around to play us their explosive sounds too.

There seem to be just so many bands with all these far off places in their names. Philadelphia Grand Jury, Miami Horror, Manchester Orchestra and now Hungry Kids of Hungary. In honour of this, perhaps we should all start a band called The Vladivostock Hookers? Great name! Anyway, Hungry Kids of Hungary hit the Ed Castle this Friday to launch their new single, 'Let You Down'.

That word 'quirky' is trivialised to the point of depreciation. Think about Woody Allen, sure he is quirky but his quirk and oddness come with a kind of beauty and majesty. Shane Devries paints what some, perhaps the older folks, may devalue as cartoonesque illustration, but his oil on canvas paintings have so much more than just quirk.
