Huge honour to be invited to Sally's very first exhibition, with three other artists from Wintec. Just blown away by the talent of these amazing women - congratulations Sally!
Thames you beauty
One of New Zealand’s best bands in one of New Zealand’s best bars!
Art.
TIL a new word: Ombré
Ombré is a French word meaning “shaded” and describes a color-blending technique that graduates from light to dark or vice versa. It is a popular effect used in many applications, including hair coloring, nail art, baking, graphic design, and home decorating.
Perfect summer vibes (since 1998!).
…and not available on Spotify: an entirely perfect reason to move.
Last night I learned about the Bechdel test:
The Bechdel test also known as the Bechdel–Wallace test, is a measure of the representation of women in film and other fiction. The test asks whether a work features at least two women who have a conversation about something other than a man. Some versions of the test also require that those two women have names.
PSA: One of Hamilton’s best coffee shops is right next door to one of Hamiltons best Croissanterie’s
Daniel Avery is always incredibly interesting, and this new album is no exception. I’ve loved pretty much everything he’s ever did, particularly the sublime Drone Logic. It is dance music, but is not always that easy to dance to, if that makes sense. I’m not 100% sure he hits the mark on every one of the tracks on this album, but it is certainly worth listening to. The best he’s ever made? Perhaps not, but recommended nevertheless.
…and be sure to check out the Essential Mix he did for the release of this album - it is wonderful.
