'Turandot' is the beginning of an exciting program in corporation with the Royal Opera House, and Palace Cinemas. I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to attend the advanced screening of this amazing production, as a part of the 2013-14 Palace Opera/Ballet Season Launch.
Each night I dream of a blackened sea, A century long walk along the concrete shores. Riddled with red crabs a Wellsian dystopia, Death marched to the iron shack...
Take a Trip Down Memory Lane and travel Australia’s South West in a Kombi.
Part 5 of our Modern Classic Albums is finally in, and boy oh boy is it heating up in here! Be sure to rate what you think of the albums you have heard, and lend an ear to the ones you haven't!
Overall, Coming Apart will be a challenging listen for anyone who isn’t drawn toward dirgey guitars, walls of noise, Gordon’s monotone drawl and oscillating feedback.
I knew as soon as I began that nothing ever needed to be said has been said in a poem.
The Byron Bay lads dug deep through their crates and played tracks from Don’t Close Your Eyes, Killing With A Smile, Horizons, Deep Blue and Atlas. This show was mental, and for the encore, Carrion was played as the stage filled up with concert goers hanging out with the band.
The man started at her briefly. Certainly she was a thing of beauty. He began to wish he could have been asked to kill someone else. Burn down some slum on the east side, having to kill some junky who owed a substantial amount of cash.
Tale of a Tall Fellow offers exceptional shirts designed by Di Nguyen. Her latest editions are from her range “The Hunted” which also features illustrations by local Josh Tavener.
If you could wear your outfit in front of Grandma without getting a walking stick to the face, then you are fine to leave the house. She doesn't have to like the particular style or trend, but if she removes you from the will, the outfit is a no-go.
On an inclement Perth winter Saturday, I joined a group of UWA foreign exchange students on an urban photo tour of Perth city. ShootPerth is fairly new addition to the scene, seeking to assist the everyday enthusiast to take great photos of the place, its oddities, and its people.
I’m a sucker for movies set in small towns. Bonus point if said small town is on the fringes of rural Southern US. Double points for southern twang. Triple points if Matthew McConaughey delivers said southern twang. Twenty points for the writer/director being Jeff Nichols. How many points does that add up to? I don’t know, you do the math. This is a film review for god’s sake, not some mid-term calculus paper.
Yes, election campaigns can get worse! Just refer to the campaign material of Republican candidate in San Francisco John Dennis. Who shows his opponent as a zombie queen who controls hordes of mindless undead (read "voters").
Now the domain of bogans looking to do sick burnouts and junkies looking to do sick meth, it’s a haunting place, and just thinking about the amount of people who have destroyed their lives through addiction in these walls makes the mind boggle.
I don’t consider myself a ‘vintage maven’, as I usually don’t shop for pre-loved items unless I see them in current fashion boutique stores. Despite this, I decided to take up the challenge and explore the world of vintage during the month of August. Every day the Restyle Challenge offered a new style prompt to which you must feature a vintage outfit, or vintage garment, that follows that particular style.
5 tracks and a whole lotta heart, the Melbourne foresome cover all the bases from their back catalogue, quiet intros building into sing along chorus’, full on screams and poetic justice.
This is wonderfully refreshing to see on screen, we are not given the same old film that we know, rather we get something that is fresh with a new story, new characters, but one that ignores the events of the past and uses certain iconic images and scenes to pay tribute to the fans of the original as opposed to simply modernizing it.
Hopefully by now you’ve checked out the first part of our modern classic albums list. Make sure you have voted on the albums you’ve heard and check out the ones you haven’t. The much awaited Part 4 is here!
The Catalyst Fire essentially lifts off from where This is the Warning finished up; The sparkly post-rock-esque rhythms and hooks and Benzie’s pitch-perfect vocals are still ever present but unfortunately the edginess that made “This is the Warning” so captivating is severely lacking.
It is time that The Greens got the media coverage and representation they deserve. It will be a long-term revolution to a strong, Greener Australia, but it will happen because The Greens are going about democracy the hard way: by building community support and using volunteers to man polling booths and forums.
