Absolut Oz: Eco Graffiti
Absolut Oz, the limited edition bottle created in collaboration with world renowned director, Baz Luhrmann, now takes on a new phase of creativity in the realisation of two eco-friendly street art installations – one in Sydney, one in Melbourne – on an open canvas, outdoor space.
Intriguing!
Better hurry though – both installations won’t be up for much longer. Read on for where each art installation is located!

Chet Faker: 1998
I love that Chet Faker’s voice is so distinctive and unique that it is recognisable in any situation. I was streaming a UK reality TV show (A guilty pleasure of mine, and no, I will not be revealing the name of it!) and during one of the scenes, Chet’s voice seeped through and it lit me right up – honestly I found myself lost in Chet’s voice, rather than focusing on what was happening on the show haha.
But why am I droning on about Chet Faker, and what has this got to do with anything?
Well, last week, he released some visuals for his new song, 1998. And whilst the clip itself isn’t all that magical as some would think, it’s the song and his voice that I really want you to listen to.
The bearded musician also released a host of dates for his upcoming Australian tour. Yes!

Event Review: CARBON 2014 // Part Two
Okay so my original plan didn’t work.
My love of words and wanting to share what I learnt at the event took over. But can you blame me? There was an abundance of knowledge that was consumed over that particular weekend and I can’t stress enough how much of a major opportunity it is that we have something like this is our country to experience.
Around other parts of the world, they have an entire season of these events!
But for real, I just couldn’t help it. Sharing is caring, right? #ThankMeLater.
Don’t worry, the visuals have continued for the second part of this review. ☺

Event Review: CARBON 2014 // Part One
So when I’ve reviewed CARBON in the past, I’ve often broken each day and/or night into a separate post.
But this year I’m going to try and flip the switch a little bit.
That is, skip the overload of words (as hard as it as a lover of words) and try and break it down into a review that will engage you and disappoint you that you didn’t attend, but also leave you wanting to purchase an early-bird ticket for next year’s event.
Pretty pictures and videos included.
The top level at The Standard has been transformed.
Alt-country punks Little Bastards entertained the crowd.
Event Review: The Standard Bowl (Industry Preview)
Surry Hills has a new favourite joint for you to hang out at!
Free entry. Free live music. Free bowling. All the damn time.
Curious?
Check out our review of The Standard Bowl on Bourke Street in Surry Hills.
Originally composed by the late Aaliyah
Performed exclusively for her Live Lounge session on BBC Radio 1
Brain: Are You That Somebody?
BANKS covered Aaliyah’s 1998 hit ‘Are You That Somebody?’ on acoustic at a BBC Live Lounge session recently.
BANKS is a girl that I can listen to constantly without feeling like skipping a track – ever. So it comes as no surprise that she totally nailed a sweet acoustic rendition of the 90s classic.
A stand-out collaboration between Nike..
...and UK's Liberty London.
Nike x Liberty London
For Spring/Summer 2014, Nike and Liberty London have once again collaborated to create an on-trend collection for Summer (not ours, theirs).
The sportswear giant commissioned the English print experts to outfit four silhouettes – the Air Max 1, Air Max 90, Nike Roshe Run, Internationalist, Blazer High and Dunk Sky High.
The motif itself calls upon prints like the blossom and bell flowers-decorated ‘Anoosha’ and the paisley-blocked ‘Crown’ prints from Liberty’s canon.

SoulFest
A new annual music festival is coming to Australia’s East Coast in October, despite the recent troubles that the festival scene has had within the past few months.
Maybe SoulFest will be the one to prove us all wrong. Who knows?
Are you willing to take that risk?
