John Butler @ Palais Theatre (03/2022)
There were happy faces all around the Palais Theatre, after an evening of virtuoso musicianship and warm banter.
New Music 02/2022 – Julia Stone, Baker Boy, Martha Marlow
I picked up some great releases by the Australian artists after working through Double J’s Best of 2021 list, including a couple of impressive debuts and an intriguing musical re-invention.
The Lost Daughter – Film Review
I had mixed feelings about this slow-burn Netflix drama initially, but then I found myself thinking about it for days afterwards, so the least I can say for it is that it lingers.
Montaigne @ 170 Russell (02/2022)
It’s been a long while since I enjoyed a live gig in a general admission, in a smaller venue where you can feel the thumping bass and the floor reverberate under your feet. I’m glad I took a chance on this young Aussie, who turned out to be a fabulous live performer.
Destination Unknown by Agatha Christie – Book Review
A standalone spy thriller set during Cold War and inspired by Dame Agatha’s journeys in the Middle East, Destination Unknown is a fairly decent quick read that doesn’t really stick in the memory for either good or bad reasons.
Parallel Mothers – Film Review
Pedro Almodóvar’s latest film with Penelope Cruz mixes personal drama and political commentary in a warm, empathetic, twist-laden story about two very different single mothers.
Sarah Blasko @ Elisabeth Murdoch Hall (02/2022)
What better way to re-start the live music experience than catching one of your perennial live faves at one of your favourite Melbourne venues.
Nemesis by Agatha Christie – Book Review
The last Miss Marple mystery Christie wrote is also the very last Miss Marple novel in my re-readathon. Bidding farewell to Dame Agatha’s old lady detective probably put me in a more sentimental and forgiving mood, because its flaws surely would have annoyed me more otherwise.
