Abstract Landscape Paintings, Shota Karahawa
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 7-inch Launch + Batrider

Batrider + No Through Rd 7inch Launch
Where:
The Metro Hotel, 46 Grote St, City
When:
Sat Nov 28, 8pm
How Much:
$10
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.

Hits From The Wand
FELTspace. I like it. Almost a pun, but not quite. Plus it sounds a bit corporate, like something out of Nathan Barley - one of those naff "crative" hubs full of rock star artists and impresarios who only endorse art if it deliberately baffles or offends the uninitiated.
Except FELTspace is nothing like that, which makes the name even better.
Vintage Carousel
Shopping for vintage is an up and down, round and round affair. Op-shops can be fusty and tend to cater for the morbidly obese. Paradoxically, those enterprising it-girls can be a little over zealous with their mark-ups. But there's a new kid in town. At Vintage Carousel, the highs are high and the lows are restricted to bending down for a good look at the shoes.
21 Nights in July: The Physics & Metaphysics of Cycling
You would be forgiven for thinking that Dr Ianto Ware is the whitest person in Adelaide. After all, the man has a Doctorate in European Cultural Studies, is a member of No Through Rd (the whitest band in Adelaide), and is a zealous advocate of - wait for it honkies - competitive cycling. Ware's debut book is a kind of poignant hymn to his whiteness, viewed through his endearingly white obsessions with the Tour de France, lycra, identity politics, Roland Barthes and the various evils of post-industrial capitalism.
