Grace Cummings @ The Espy
Sometimes it’s good to take a leap of faith and discover a new artist in a live setting, like this Melbourne-based singer-songwriter with a truly phenomenal voice.
Le Samouraï – Film Review
This stylish, icy cool 1967 crime thriller starring Alain Delon has been on my movie radar for ages, so I was excited to catch its 4K restoration on the big screen.
A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller Jr. – Book Review
This sprawling, intricate post-apocalyptic novel blends religious faith with science fiction, and envisions a potential course for human civilisation that’s both bleak and hopeful – and surprisingly humorous. It’s a wonderfully written book deserving of its classic status.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga – Film Review
It’s no Fury Road, but I still enjoyed going back to George Miller’s mad post-apocalyptic world in this audacious if somewhat unnecessary prequel.
Joker – Film Review
Joker is a great-looking film with an astonishing turn by Joaquin Phoenix, but in the end I found it seriously lacking both as a character study and social commentary.
Quote of the Day – Behemoth the Cat
“Is that vodka?” Margarita asked weakly.
The cat jumped up in his seat with indignation.
“I beg pardon, my queen,” he rasped, “Would I ever allow myself to offer vodka to a lady? This is pure alcohol!”
― Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

I had so much fun at this concert, dancing and grooving to the mesmerising desert blues of these awesome Tuareg rockers.
Sleater-Kinney @ Forum Theatre
Though I couldn’t help the mixed feelings that came with the change of line-up, Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker delivered an intense, blistering set on a Sunday night.
