Interview with Mike Munroe
"The next two years are going to be the biggest for Perth. We’re going to see a lot of specialty coffee shops open up, and more then that I think there’s going to be a big push into the independent roasting industry. Melbourne has happened. I wanted to help push the Perth movement. We’re in a prime position right now and I want to be a part of that."
Public Nudity: Loving your Tits and Other Naked Bits
Perhaps the confused relationship between sex and nudity that we have somehow conjured up stems from an exponential growth in technology, and by extension, the media. In the last hundred years, we have witnessed the birth of the internet, film, television, and mass production of pornography....
Film Review: The Lords of Salem
An Interesting film from Zombie that shows his willingness to break away from horror conventions and play with images and narrative for what would seem to be his own experimentation with cinema. Not at all for everyone...
Jonny Taylor - 'Something To Say'
I think it’s great how it’s filled with topics that can sometimes be hard to talk about, things that affect normal people. It’s not superficial or fake; it’s just songs written by a normal guy, for normal people. (It is) Really refreshing in this day and age...

Kanye West - Yeezus [First Listen]
Kanye West has definitely created a dark album with 'Yeezus '. I feel like it will starkly polarise public opinion, but it is good to hear that he has, instead of producing a bunch of singles, taken the challenge of creating something different, which he has done quite well.
Film Review: The Great Gatsby (No Prior Reading)
From someone who has not read F. Scott Fitzgerald's Novel. The film is almost always on the verge of orgasmic explosions such as the ones we find in the introduction to the Moulin Rouge in his earlier film, however, Gatsby seems to have more control over itself.

Film Review: The Place Beyond The Pines
Unflinchingly dark and unapologetically ambitious, The Place Beyond The Pines is a compelling and masterfully-directed ensemble film disguised as a ‘Ryan Gosling-being-badass’ vehicle.
Daft Punk - 'Random Access Memories'
I started to accept that this was the future of Daft Punk. 'Random Access Memories' began revealing the love child within. The combinations of funk and electronic beats were incredible...
Dilip n' the Davs - 'Together'
I love Aussie bands and I get especially excited when the bands have lyrics that show their love for Australia, and the Davs must have known I was coming, because they are absolutely all over it which made me very happy.
Kaki King - The Bakery
Without much messing around she jumped straight into the business of blowing our minds with her stunning playing. Within about 10 seconds every person in the room had a smile on their face. That’s really the only thing you can do when seeing Kaki. She’s that good.

James Blake - Overgrown

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or are seriously behind the times with your critically-acclaimed, family based comedy series, you have been made aware of the new season of Arrested Development...
Laura Marling - 'Once I Was An Eagle'
The maturity and seeming wisdom of Marling belies her age, and accompanied with her articulate voice and clear vision of how to create interesting pieces of music, she has made what is probably one of the best albums of 2013 (Yeah, I’m calling it).
Eddie Comments, 'Not-So-Goodes'
Wow. What a crazy week for sport! What with all of the Adam Goodes drama this week I felt like something should be written up for Isolated nation and while I'm not well versed in sport, I feel passionately about the situation...
Urban Mansion
After venturing about various North Perth haunts, and a railway museum (it was a busy night, interrupted only by ABC’s The Elegant Gentlemens’s Guide To Knife Fighting), we phoned a friend looking for something more.

Support Your Breasts: Buying Bras in Perth
