Spinifex Gum ~ Australian Song feature!

It's been a while since I've recommended anything australian of late, but gotta love the australian music scene.

The haunting voices of Spinifex Gum are worth a listen.


A project that picked up in 2015, by Felix Riebl of the Cat Empire when he stayed with the Yindjibarndi community, indigenous Australia. The songs features a brilliantly composed choir as well as other well known Aussies.

Found it as i listened to this on the radio - https://genius.com/Spinifex-gum-4-yurala-lyrics

Live performance in March! Ahh wish i could make it.

Animation Feature ~~ chile!!!

spotlight is on Chile
fantastic animation in both form and story !!

deep, rings a bell with the adults, enjoyable for the kids.

Otaku No Video!

ahh finally! after all these years at Berkeley. a link to the full thing



somewhat based on the true story of fandom and obession, and how a network came to be!

Attica!

it has been a while since I have posted
partly as im not at home anymore with a desktop and the laptop-to-desk-to-arm-to-chair-ratio is slightly off, so im not on much.

and also because photobucket has decided you need to pay to access your own images to be hosted on a website. bleh. =.=. top header of xmen disappeared for that reason.

anywho
tonight was a tick the item off the list night with no.34 restaurant in the world, Melbourne's very own Attica.

David took most of the photos which snaps a bit away from the experience (lewl take that as you wish). I prefer to DIG IN. But it was a fun night indeed. Esp the part of strolling out back to their garden where they grew everything that ended up on our plate. Definitely special.

And to walk past the kitchen and all the staff happy to be there and working away with genuine smiles. One even encouraged us to eat the strawberries from the garden =] You wouldn't be able to fake happiness if you work everyday and dish out the same menu. So that was definitely a pleasant sight to see.

What I loved was the authentic australian if not Melbourne involvement from the food to utensils to decor to lighting. Tributes to the local neighbourhood and its unique contribution to the lifestyle around there was spot on.

Worth a visit i'll say.
Gets interesting from the half way point.

in sum_
food so fancy you aren't sure its edible.
note: you cannot eat the quandong pips, that someone mistaken for nuts LOL

we ate ants tonight! it tasted like popping candy. crunchy!

oh so shiny.

growing their own edible tulips!


excursion time with gumby gumby tea. hits the spot!

Saturrrrdaaaayssyyyaay!

that stereotypical film slice

...she flips open her macbook
paperwork pile up high,
ignores,

wiggles in ear buds

*cue music*

reflections and flash backs... running, his hair, his smile, flung into an embrace, sun , rain, hail, shine

her smile , close up laptop screen, her fingers against the keys, her eyes, pan out as she tilts her eyes to the sun streaming through her window of the 5th floor....


currently listening to
alternative folk <3 p="">
Song - Little House

Love Desire & Riches

This sunny saturday morning a group of us headed down to National Trust listed building Rippon Lea. I have always been meaning to go but just never found the right time or reason, however the simultaneous exhibition + entry tix combo convinced me. Found out about Love, Desire & Riches (the last 200 years of wedding dress fashion) upon my last solo adventure to Tasma Terrace in the CBD for the steampunk exhibition.

Entrance into Rippon Lea

Behind the house + beautiful gardens

In short, it was a lovely LOVELY day to wonder the house + gardens, however I found myself with divided interests of checking out the exhibition and the house simultaneously. So in the end, I was unable to fully appreciate both. Rippon Lea from the outside looked quite big, but due to all the busy content + lots of people inside, made it feel small.

I think i would visit it again in the future at some point.
Here are some snaps. :P

ohla red carpet entry 

Happy children

Detailed drappage 

makes an interesting set 

Fancy boots!  

1800s dresses 

Jennifer Hawkins!
