Our sweet track sunday actually stretched out to be a full album: so here it is!
The mood of James Blake in his new record ‘Overgrown’ is a dark existentialist reality looking straight down the barrel of the nature we make for ourselves in our everyday life.
Blake breaks down barriers of artistic mediums within sound and film particularly in the tracks ‘retrograde’ and...

So basically just rearranging the words to form a new poem from the original?
The cut-up technique is an aleatory literary technique in which a text is cut up and rearranged to create a new text.
The concept can be traced to at least the Dadaists of the 1920s, but was popularized in the late 1950s and early 1960s by writer William S. Burroughs, and has since been used in a wide variety of...

reblogging over here specifically for the mention of conflation of violence with sex. Seriously, drawing injured, dead, tortured, and abused women in “sexy” poses absolutely portrays violence as sexy, absolutely...
Sweet track sunday: Heroes by David Bowie
The inevitable is here - the day I would use this column to talk about this song and david bowie. Ok I’m sorry. I’ll try to make this interesting, I promise.
I first became conscious of David Bowie sometime in the 5th grade. My friend Michelle was like, totally in him. In fact, her taste in music and film was uncharacteristically developed for someone who had not yet reached their...

THE INTERVIEW: Felicity Heath, top grrrl at...
After coming to the realisation that a career in acting was simply not what she was destined to do, multi-talented punk rock girl Felicity Heath made a plan. Jet-setting back to her home country of Australia, she put her head to the grindstone and began working on an idea of hers that had been brewing silently behind a headful of Cruella Deville inspired hair. No longer restrained by the...

Editor's letter theme 2: HEROES
Hey vaein readers!
It’s been a long time. This is what I would be saying if we were old friends, sitting down for catch-up chat after years spent apart and reunited for the first time.

I was interviewed for radio adelaide about zines and how the online world has contradicted or, in our case, reinvented the meaning of zine...
