Between a wedding, filthy house party, dirty nightclub and confrontations with a fat, naked, hairy Croatian dude (nick-named Troll), I managed to squeeze in a visit to the Brisbane Valley Fiesta at the weekend.

I know it’s not a Melbourne event, but some good friends tied the knot in Queensland on Saturday (congratulations Ant and Sara!), so I thought why not kill two birds with one stone. Video of groom!

Freaks, geeks and music lovers rejoiced over this past weekend and came together under one roof in their version of heaven -  the WFMU Record And CD Fair. The independent freeform radio station held its annual three day music extravanganza from Friday 23 – Sunday 25 October, with over 100 dealers spreading their wares over 10,000 square feet. Jazz, soul, psych and other expected genres were also interspersed between the lesser known ‘cheesecake’ and ‘nudes and sex’, leading us to believe that any type of music imaginable could be found at WFMU.

In a city where the trendies trend, the skankers skank and the posers pose, there are still a few individuals that are trying not to give a f**k and just do their own thing.

Two such kids are Shaun Gardener and Jason de Villiers, the visual vagabonds behind Fly School Design. Elusively extravagant and humble hearted, they’re keeping it real and keeping it local. Pushing each other, they share a mutual unwillingness to make money for other people.

Isn’t it rad the sheer quantity of weird shit you can find on the internet, particularly art these days. There’s so many weirdos out there doing any number of sick things to themselves (or insects), for the sake of art. Take the Dead Fly art for example, some bored asshole had too much time on his hands so he decided to gather a bunch of fly’s, kill them, then position them in any number of sick fetish positions, photograph it, and post it on the internet. I mean to be honest they’re pretty f**ken funny, my personal favourite is the dead fly riding a horse (above) – hilarious – but if there’s people out there doing this sort of art, it makes you wonder what some of the real weirdos are doing (and when do we get to see)?

By the way, I tried to track down the Dead Fly weirdo to credit these photos, but couldn’t find the little bugger anywhere. So if anyone knows who it might be, please comment on this one and help me out (I think he might be Swedish). At the very least I’d like to find out how he gathered the fly’s, but for now we can only hope they died of natural causes (fat chance)…
