Just seen on the Supertouched blog, some pic from the latest miss Vans show, how dope.

After year of loyal service to Melbourne’s infamous Shanghai Dumplings we finally discover the art of Pre-Soy. Rather than burn a hole through the roof of your mouth, Pre-Soy those little puppies and Hung Chew wei (Bob’s) your uncle. You also might need a Post-Soy bowl to drain the excess water…(they drown the fuckers – fried or boiled – oil or water).

Key factor: Make sure they sit you at the front of the bus.

Tax: $5-$7 and you can BYO anything. Yes, anything.

Please. Enjoy our wonder city district.

Mad fun will be had. See you there.

These Maharishi X Bowers & Wilkins 601 bookshelf speakers arrived in the mail last week. The hi-fi of B&W coated in MHI woodland camo goodness, blessing my studio. They sound great and looker greater, very dope.

They make a a nice match for last seasons Sno camo series which are working well as monitors back home.

Limited to 90 pairs these are collectors pieces. Dpmhi.com sold out of them long ago so try emaharishi.com if your interested getting a pair.

So, the third show this year for the studio.

l am yet to actually do anything for this show, late nights and broken eyes are coming.

First up, big shouts going to Toko in Surry Hills for a kick arse selection of fine sho-chu, sashimi, sushi and miso eggplant. Proper.

I’m up in Sydney taking some time out and getting to know the scene day by day. Met the crews on Burton St in Darlinghurst, much respect. Been to SP1 & 3 and picked up some 90’s, and in between cooling off in the hotel watching Australia destroy Sri-Lanka, I’m out snapping up the day life in the CBD.

Things have changed so much since I was up here last. I haven’t seen 1 syringe and the bums are really polite. Last time I hung around Oxford St, I would have been hit up for money, drugs, or threatened as part of daily life. Not anymore! I suppose with the lesser amount of poverty explains the ludicrous rise in alcohol prices. $20 cocktails is the norm, but oh so damn good.

Flicks of some proddy shops and sneaker freakers once I get home and develop these rolls of film. Analog photography is the new black, bitches.

Speak soon.

Here’s a wall we did at Wesley College on the weekend, hooked up by Koans lil’ sister…they’re a family of hustlers.

Anyone into sound design or modern art forms wont want to miss Pierre Proske performing at Geek Chic 2.0 this Wednesday night at Loop Bar. The event runs from 5pm till late and Pierre will be performing around 7pm. Free admission.

Pierre Proske is an electronic artist intrigued by the pervasiveness of technology in culture and science and its relationship to nature. His
work involves exposing the unspoken relationships we have with technology and harnessing machines into exploring new aesthetics. He has spent the larger part of the last 4 years in Sweden where he performed, exhibited and obtained a Master of Science in Art and Technology. An experimental electronic music performance using EMG amplifiers that harnesses the electricity produced through muscle contractions in my arms (EMG) to create sound, which is then processed using a patch created with the Pure Data software.(Similar to MAX, MSP on Apple Computers)
