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.
Netpune, The Duke Spirit
Cuts Across The Land proved to be a breakthrough success for this English five-piece, with the album combining a mix of noise, grunge, rock’n’roll and psych-soul to perfection. The release of Neptune has seen the band continue in much the same direction. Still present are the dirty guitars and slipshod drums trailing behind a smoggy, sweet voice, all layered amongst a modicum of chiming keys and wrapped in a package of despair, confusion and obscurity.
Drugs: a social history
We’ve come a long way since prescribing heroin to pregnant women. And Queen Victoria isn’t around to smoke a joint with her tea. Nor is Baudelaire chewing cannabis with Flaubert. But pre-pubescent kids are still getting the “it’s okay to try it once” pep-talks from their folks.
WON Magazine issue 02
If you’re reading WON Magazine, wash your hands before you touch your face, or you will end up with gridiron style under-eye war paint. Yes, WON is constructed of humble newsprint and is absolutely free (where you can get it), though its content is no hastily slapped-together assemblage of sensation like our daily rags.
white rabbit Record Bar
Alighting from Kensington station, you may be forgiven for thinking you had been transported to the other side of the looking glass with Alice. Bellair Street abounds with creatures of small stature talking gibberish (kids) and happy hairy animals (dogs mostly) and, well, people eating mushrooms (brunch).
