Feedback would be much appreciated!
You are asleep beside me, and I am awake, listening to the way the air sounds at three am.
I’ve never noticed how different it is before. It’s hollow and empty, but far from quiet. The T.V buzzes. The trains have stopped but the stream of traffic is…

The Man Who Took on Amazon and Saved a Bookstore →
Phil Johnson looks at how a small bookstore survived: By becoming faster than the internet.
The title is misleading (I thought that this would involve a lawsuit). What the man really did through passion, understanding technology and good business sense was to find a way exist as a small business alongside online shopping and e-books.
I’m a huge fan of e-media of all types and am not...

Whatchu coming to Queensland for?

Bad News Day
My friend has abandoned our hastily made plans for today so I’m going to sit home posting bad news on tumblr. Imagine me with a sour toddlers expression while I console myself with some dark chocolate and listen to Bon Iver.

lebutcherettes:
As many times as we’ve heard Morrissey exclaim through multiple songs and various PETA campaigns that meat is, in fact, a murderous act, it’s hard to ignore how cool of a stage prop it can actually be. I mean, who doesn’t like a severed, bloody pig’s head in conjunction with their favorite band? Since 17, Teresa Suarez, aka Teri Gender Bender, founder and guitarist of Mexican...

Blog Post - Spotify: The new/old musical... →
crushtor:
I got two packages in the mail - a vinyl record and a compact disc. All on the day that Australian music would point their fingers and laugh at my stubborn luddism. Hadn’t I heard? Spotify had finally launched Down Under! I could now stream any song I wanted from a pool of over sixteen million tracks from virtually all the major labels and independents wanting to fill their cup with a...
