Sweet track Sunday: James Blake making songs for...
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...

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...

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. Unfortunately, this is the internet, and such figures of speech are often seen as pretentious. However, I do hope you’ll join me for this brief spell and listen to this new exciting chapter of my vaein...

Radio Adelaide - Vaein Zine feature →
With such a wide variety of content available to us online, is there still a place for the independent publishing of zines? Dimitra spoke to the creator of an online blogazine that is combining the best elements of the web with the DIY culture of zine making.
