I’m not usually one to engage in the dialogue of ‘new year, new me’. I got a lot from 2015, and I would want to say that I was a good person throughout. But something weighs heavy on my mind. I have become a fuccboi.

Habitat has been bringing good music to Perth for years, and MOVE has been fostering it here for us all to enjoy. When they teamed up to present Moodyman, Floating Points and tINI and Henry Maxwell it was always going to be a great night of vibe laden house.
Our music writers have banded together to come up with another summary of the amazing music that was put out in 2015.
Here is a list of our favourite movies that were released in on our shores this year (that is not Star Wars: The Force Awakens, because come on, that's basically a given at this point), in the form of a neat little supercut.
The film is brilliant. It shows that no matter the hype, a film can and should be able to deliver. New and old characters combine to move Star Wars into a new age, and if this film doesn't leave you on tenterhooks waiting for the next two, then nothing will!
On Friday December 4, YMCA HQ in Leederville hosted the 9th Sweet Oblivion Showcase. This time around, Matthew Gudgeon, Puzzle, Last Lions and Red Moon graced the stage. Read all about it here.
Over the course of the film, it becomes clear that A Perfect Day really, really wants to be both a comedy and a drama, but struggles to find the right balance between the two.
I may have exceeded my daily recommended amount of cardio from all that dancing.
Make sure you make time for the 2016 Stagebound winners and make sure you're on top of the set times and stage map!
Sunday Sessions get no better than this.
On Friday November 20 the YMCA HQ in Leederville hosted the 8th Sweet Oblivion showcase evening. These events, held as part of the WAM Festival, present the best of the young, emerging talent in the Perth music scene to an audience of all ages.
It’s clear that director Ramin Bahrani is not afraid of making us feel uncomfortable. In 99 Homes, we are affronted by the harsh reality of unaffordable housing as the film places the systematic disadvantage of our economic model under the microscope.
I never have that much fun in abandoned houses. These were people’s homes, full of memories It is an all too acute reminder that my house too is at risk of succumbing to the march of ‘progress’.
Jam-packed with rapid-fire zingers and cleverly constructed comedic situations, Mistress America is Noah Baumbach’s most deliberately funny screenplay to date, quite possibly due to the involvement of co-writer and star Greta Gerwig.
I ventured out to see Australia’s favourite ramblin’ jungle blues man CW Stoneking’s sold out show in the tree-filled front courtyard.
Pop sensation Ed Sheeran will be gracing out shores in a few weeks time. Find out more here.
Rude boys are coming over to Oz on tour. Theres a lot to be excited about! Ticket info, and editorial within.
As part of the WAM showcase weekend, a couple of our writers checked out what was going on at YMCA HQ in Leederville.
The Festival is a lot like a failed Tinder date in many ways. You know you like a lot of the things about it, you are attracted to it, but something just doesn’t really click. It's someone else's soulmate.
Bar Pop will be keeping us busy over the next few months with their new Live at the Orchard series.
