ThreeThousand is a weekly snapshot of Melbourne's subculture - a Melbourne guide to film, music, design, books, art, goods and links for people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. Below you will find the latest additions to our Melbourne guide.
Welcome to the launch of my new art reviewing system. It's image based. If you text me, and say, "Penny, how's the show?!" I'll send you a picture back for a small fee of $32. Quite often, the picture will be this. And sometimes this or even this. But, on rare occasions, IT WILL BE THIS.
"Sounds Biblical," was my initial summary of this domestic melodrama. Kinda - its characters are more like figures in a parable than individual human beings. But Jim Sheridan's powerful, intimate remake of the 2004 Danish original offers little salvation. Bleak, uncertain, Brothers is a fable that's lost its moral.
In addition to cleavage and guns, the White Trash folks have invented some gnarly things. Approximately 107 of these things are written down in White Trash Cooking.
Don't be fooled, White Trash Cooking is not all corn on the cob and corn off the cob; there are baked possums, water lily pies and a girl scout one-eyed egg.
We are fast learning that there are things upstairs at GPO! Not just bare pillars and plinths and dreadful ball gowns for middle-aged women, but acceptable wares, and wears, for those ladies with an ounce of self-respect (I have seven ounces).
I'm talking about LIFEwithBIRD. No, not life with *that* bird.
