Metropolis music section closing sale!
The crunch hits us at last. We've all been sitting pretty safe in the knowledge that we'll never have a mortgage, letting Tom Piotrowski's slightly lispy words of doom wash over us each night as we relax in front of the CommSec finance report.
But now it's real. The Metropolis music section is closing and part of the blame goes to US - the browsers who didn't buy enough metal.
A Place Tells A Story
Like you, I also danced with joy down Swanston Street when we got UNESCO City of Literature status. (I was the one with the cape made from copies of The Monthly.) I danced because I LOVE literature, but I partied because I love SELF-PUBLISHING! Everyone I know in Melbourne self-publishes! Really.

‘EATIV' in capitals has to be one of the most difficult combinations of letters imaginable to kern. The spaces between E and A, A and T, T and I, and so on, are all different, leaving different legacies of space to distract from the reading of the word. The craft of subtly adjusting those spaces is an invisible, mundane but crucial part of one design discipline.

TextaQueen’s 2008 Colour-In Calendar
Chloe suffered the jeering nonsense of wowser conservatism when she sailed to Melbourne in 1880. Generations have since filtered out such prudery. Not only can we shamelessly share a drink with Chloe in a Melbourne pub like she's a mate (a, um, very naked mate) but we can purchase an interactive calendar of salon nudes.
Ants Have Sex in Your Beer, by David Shrigley
David Shrigley has made a new book.
There is no way to explain
this book
other than to write down various things
that are in it.*
I have sampled the voice
of Charles Manson
and I have used it to make
a dance record.
The record is good and
I am very proud of it.

Metropolis fiction section
There was a character in Sartre's Nausea who read every book in the municipal library of Bouville, slogging away with a notebook and a chip on his shoulder about this that and the other. He may have been simply a metaphor for that constant search for narrative in life eschewed by self-respecting existentialists.
