We were lucky enough to check out the sold out Elmar’s In The Valley venue for some food, music and most importantly alcoholic beverages before heading over to Belvoir Amphitheatre for a great mini-festival.
The Sunshine of Cambodia
I was part of a volunteering team that was to work for Awareness Cambodia International, a Perth-run organization that aims to rebuild Cambodia and its people.
Honey (Miele) - Italian Film Festival
Honey tells an imaginatively provocative and compelling story that cleverly subverts traditional plot conventions - at least, for the majority of its run time. In the hands of a lesser director, the film could run the risk of descending into tear-jerking melodrama due to its sensitive subject matter, but Golino’s meticulous, detached direction prevents the film from going there.

Body/Head - 'Coming Apart'
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.
(Fiction) Advice to the Reader: Drink Before Proceeding
I knew as soon as I began that nothing ever needed to be said has been said in a poem.
Parkway Drive - Capitol, 15/09/13
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.
(Fiction) For A Stranger - Stuart L Holmes
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.
Why It Is Okay To Dress Like a Grandma
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.
Film Review: Mud
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.
The Election Campaign Could Be Worse or John Dennis 4 PM!
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").
Urban Mansion 2: Urban Mansion Harder
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.
Restyle Photo-a-day Opshop Challenge
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.
The Smith Street Band - Don't Fuck With Our Dreams
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.
