Dosh it up

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Dosh! I love saying that name. And I love listening to this band’s music. Or rather, the music of Martin Dosh. They recently had a show at the Rosemount in Perth (which I unfortunately missed, was apparently good though – review here) along with Andrew Bird and supported by Perth act Fall Electric. Anyway, a [...]

Harry Highpants

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

Harry highpants is the (somewhat comical) name of a store in northbridge down william street (#259).

There’s nothing heavy here – I know someone said that all music is political [...]

Red wine; Cienna

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Now we all know wine is classy, no matter what subculture you subscribe to. Unfortunately not all wine is vegan. However a few wineries do stick to traditional methods (rejecting the use of animal products to clarify their wines). Brown Brothers is one of these, and in my opinion the best. My favourite Brown Brothers’ [...]
