Brain Children are a fascinating musical proposition.
Brain Children is the brain child of Michael Mate and Maxwell Crumb, two Melbourne music veterans who’ve completely ruined their lives by relentlessly peddling their musical wares across the globe.
Indeed, these young men have spent the majority of their youths and adulthoods on tour, cutting their teeth on bad roads, sticky floors and ramshackle stages. These years of extended poverty have created a degree of musical knowhow and a lack of pretense that certainly sets them apart from their bovine contemporaries.

The Last Tuesday Society are an arts collective who are “devoted to exploring and furthering the esoteric, literary and artistic aspects of life in London and beyond.”
The society was first established by William James at Harvard University in 1878 and is now run by the Chancellor Viktor Wynd, who’s been running events in the capital since 2006. Regular events include ‘The Salon’ in which one of the committee members gives a talk accompanied by a nine course dinner or tea on a lawn, a quarterly séance and ‘Loss’ – a night consisting of Victorian taxidermy, headless pigs and piles of rotting fruit as a tribute to Gunter Grass’s fictional nightclub ‘The Onion Cellar’ in which people wept over chopped onions whilst sad plays and songs were performed.

Meet Hello Mother F*&king Nasty, an illustrator who’s making a new name for himself with his unique employment of all things creative. When trying to dig deeper, in search of some report-style info, Hello MF Nasty was cryptic in his answers, leaving me with more questions than I intended to ask. It’s refreshing not to be verbally abused with philosophical arty explanations that always leave me with too much to write about, yet nothing real to share. And without much elaboration on the ‘what’s and why’s’ I had written down, it really comes down to self interpretation with Hello MF Nasty’s art work. Art is subjective, and it’s empowering to be given the liberty to make up one’s own mind whether there is some bigger meaning, or if things really are sometimes as they seem.

When analysts cite the U.S. government declassified documents, when a writer reconstructs the historical facts of the Cold War or the South American dictatorships and when some journalist investigates the facts of Iran-Contra Gate, the documents are always based on the National Security Archive work.
The NSA has occupied the front pages of The New York Times, Noam Chomsky uses NSA documents to reinforce his thesis and many journalists spend their time in the archive researching pieces of history. Tina Rosenberg, who won the Pulitzer prize with her book on the fall of communism in the Eastern Europe, based her book on the documents regarding the Eastern Europe declassified by NSA.

Occasionally you discover an eatery that perfectly captures the way you like to dine.
For me, Pellegrini’s is that place.
Family owned and operated, Pellegrini’s knocks out outstanding homemade Italian food at comparatively rock-bottom prices. A staple of the melbourne dining scene, Pellegrini’s has occupied number 66 Bourke street for over 50 years, and as the antiquated decor would suggest, very little has changed in those five or so decades.
