...and we want you to heart it too! Tax time doesn't have to be the nightmare that it's made out to be, our lovely friends and stationery gurus at Kikki K have been kind enough to give us a few of their tax packs to give away. Avoid tax-time meltdowns and shoot us an email with your details to be in the running to win, have a look at all the other stuff at Kikki K that will keep you organised and out of trouble over here.
To celebrate the release of their new album, The Suburbs, Arcade fire is putting on a live show in Madison Square Garden in NYC this Thursday. We know it might seem like a million miles away, but never fear, the whole gig will be streamed live on youtube. Pretty fantastic we think. Pencil it in and head over here for more details.
Yay, free music and good times are coming to Brissie this month! We couldn't be more excited about this year's Valley Fietsa and all the great things that come along with it. Musical niceties include Courage, Dan Parsons, Seja, Dead Shades, Parades, Polaroid Fame, The John Steel Singers and Yacht Club DJs to name a few. Also, we're super excited for the Ann Street Party, where one of the most iconic streets in The Valley has shops likeBlonde Venus and The Outpost turned into a canvas for art, film, exhibitions, fashion, performances and music. There's also a little Nine Lives Gallery collaboration and an after party at Club Fiesta.
We love a little bit of trivia now and then and what better way you improve your musical general knowledge than to be wowed by the experts.ABC's Spicks and Specks -The Remixes, is now out on DVD and is retailing for around the 30 buck mark. Here you can find some footage that only the studio audience got to experience. Guests on the show include Guy Edward from Elbow, Missy Higgins, Dan Sultan and funnyman, Reginald D Hunter. We have a few copies to giveaway, so email us with your name and address to be in the running. Pic from here.
Stop swinging on your chair, young lady! Did I hear someone whispering? Stop that! Now turn to page 65. I do not allow gum in my classroom. What a filthy habit. Tuck in your shirt. And for god's sake, stop chewing on that pen! Well, no more biro chewing for us, we have something even better, a pen-pendant (hehe) made of sterling silver by the very talented people at Chewed By Tuesday. Nice nice nice and a little bit cheeky. Now behave yourselves and don't go smoking behind the boys toilet, now...
