Kripy Irregular Mailer #135, Souls Are Us, for Wednesday May 28th.
Unsubscribe | Send to a Friend

Souls Are Us "Worms eat apples meaning worms leave holes inside apples therefore time travel is possible via a worm-eaten apple". The logic seemed simple and clear, now all the boy needed was a cup of shrink juice. Shrink juice could be easily acquired via a soul trade, the payoff being the boy would need to get another one at the local Souls Are Us before heading into the unknown. Funny how it never crossed the little boy's mind for a second that he would be giving his soul away, replacing it with a re-conditioned number. He did care, only just though.		Kripy Selects Pete Volich: 2012:E9E10 + Pat Brassington: The Best Move Exhibition continues until Saturday June 14th (Tue-Sat, 11am-6pm) at Stills Gallery (36 Gosbell St, Paddington). FREE! Add Pat Brassington comes dead set close to eclipsing Trent Parkes as my favourite Australian photographer. Parkes captures things brilliantly, Brassington does the same but dabbles in a little photo-media trickery. I love these two bears from the "Cambridge Road" series. Spooky goodness.

Music Young and Restless + Gameboy/Gamegirl + Bag Raiders + Ro Sham Bo Thursday May 29th (8pm) at Manning Bar (Manning Rd, University of Sydney). Presale $15. Add Party like a university kid who's just finished their first(?) semester or is almost at the end of their degree. The choice is yours and the best thing is you can make up whatever the hell it is your studying. Arts student, law, arts-law (freak), you're secret is safe amongst the debauched. Van She + Sparkadia + The Seabellies Thursday May 29th (8pm) at Annandale Hotel (17 Parramatta Rd, Annandale). FREE! Add Yoko Ono gets the knockout punch and there's nothing any of us can do to stop it OR what the Polaroid kids said. Levity Nights feat. The Holidays + Red Riders (DJ Set) Thursday May 29th (8pm) at Hotel Hollywood (2 Foster St, Surry Hills). $5. Add Insert smarmy spiel about independent record label, Levity, founded and funded by jeans company, Levis, trying to get street cred by enticing all the cool kids, you, into a cool space, Hollywood Hotel, and filling their ears with cool bands, The Holidays, Lost Valentinos, Ruby Rose ... I'm just messing with you. Honest! Ghostwood + The Wahas + Kirin J Callinan + Red House Friday May 30th (8pm) at Oxford Art Factory (38-46 Oxford St, Darlinghurst). Presale $15. Add The Ghostwood kids, in need of money for a plane ride to the UK, are having a bit of a fundraiser in order to get themselves there. I still dig "Ghosts" although I have to say their new demo, "Rest My Soul", sounds mighty The Verve circa "A Northern Soul". Sonny Rollins Sunday June 1st (7pm) at Sydney Opera House (2 Macquarie St, Sydney). From $80/$70. Add I listen to jazz when I need to block everything else out. It tends to have no vocals meaning you don't get caught up and lost in the words. I like Sonny. He used to roll with the likes of Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, and Miles Davis. And you don't roll with that sort of ilk unless you know what you're doing. The Bravery + Van She + Amy Meredith Wednesday June 4th (8pm) at The Metro Theatre (624 George St, Sydney). Presale $42. Add Nothing wrong with a little war of the words - apparently Killers frontman Brandon Flowers "famously" claimed that The Bravery owed his four-piece lip service for opening the door to keyboard-dance-rock. The Bravery retaliated. (The Killers do sound like they have it over these lads).		Bikes / Club FILM Seasons (2008) Thursday May 29th (7pm) at Dendy Opera Quays (Shop 9, 2 East Circular Quay, Sydney). $14/$10.50. Add "Seasons" follows seven of the world's top bikers, encompassing downhill, slopestyle, and big mountain freeriders through the course of four seasons in one year. I have to admit I have a soft spot for anything bike after a couple of summers spent riding in the Japanese countryside. THEATRE Branch Nebula: Paradise City Wednesday May 28th (8pm) at CarriageWorks (245 Wilson St, Eveleigh). Performance continues until Wednesday May 28th (Mon-Fri, 8pm; Sat, 5pm, 8pm;). Presale $30/$20. Add A skater, break-dancer, BMX rider, acrobat, and dancer are backed by live vocals along with samples taken from the miked-up skateboarder, each performer weaving in and out of each other as much stealing the limelight as sharing the stage with one another. Eye-candy eats ear-candy. The Whip Saturday May 31st (8pm) at Oxford Art Factory (38-46 Oxford St, Darlinghurst). Presale $23.50. Add I've read Manchester's answer to LCD Soundsytem / Kraftwerk / Daft Punk. I hear something more along the lines of The Rapture without the edge. Either way you're on a winner with The Whip. Mix Master Mike + Katalyst + Eko Saturday May 31st (9pm) at The Metro Theatre (624 George St, Sydney). Presale $45. Add After dominating the DMC Championships for a consecutive number of years, Mix Master Mike and Qbert effectively quarantined themselves from the competition, forming The Invisibl Skratch Piklz in the process. Mike went on to replace DJ Hurricane as the Beastie Boys' resident DJ and hasn't looked back since. Famous feat. Princess Superstar Saturday May 31st (10pm) at Home Sydney (101/1 Wheat Rd, Cockle Bay Wharf). $25. Add Writing about Princess Superstar feels a little like one of those "where are they now" pieces just because it feels like she's been under a rock since I last payed attention. Turns out she's turned out a mash-up titled "Perfect vs Exceeder", turned out a compilation for Gigolo, "American Gigolo III ", and continued to do what a Princess Superstar does. DJ AM + Kato + PhDJ + Sleater Brockman Tuesday June 3rd (8pm) at Club 77 (77 William St, Darlinghurst). FREE! Add Know the guy who was engaged to Nicole Ritchie, dated Mandy Moore, owns a little club called LAX and over 600 pairs of Nikes? Me either! Los Angeles-based DJ AM is all of this and more: superstar DJ to the superstars. Playing on a school night too, the press release states that if the club isn't full PhDJ will eat his original 1993 Chicago Bulls cap.		Culture ART World Press Photo 08 Exhibition continues until Thursday June 5th (Mon�Thu, 9am-8pm; Fri, 9am-5pm; Sat, 10am-5pm) at State Library of New South Wales (Macquarie St, Sydney). FREE! Add World Press Photo never fails to cut to the bone, just because the subject matter is the reality of this ball of dust that we live on. British photographer Tim Hetherington took out this year's prize with a shot of an unidentified US soldier resting in a bunker in the Korengal Valley, Afghanistan. FILM Shine A Light (2008) Wednesday May 28th (7pm) at Chauvel Cinema (Corner of Oxford St and Oatley Rd, Paddington). $15.50/$12.50. Add Back in 2006, Martin Scorsese pulled together a team of cinematographic kings to film The Rolling Stones over a couple of nights at New York's Beacon Theatre, an engagement that was staged as part of President Bill Clinton's lavish birthday bash and ended with "Shine A Light". THEATRE Dave Bloustien: Beastly Wednesday May 28th (9pm) at Old Fitzroy Theatre (129 Dowling St, Woolloomooloo). Presale $15 / Beer + Laksa + Show $20. Add Dave Bloustien boasts of a PhD in Jewish punk literature (try that one at the End of Semester Party). "Beastly" sees him tackle Africa which such diverse topics as the Johannesburg Taxi Driver mafia, elephant brains, how to get yourself lynched, the Zimbabwe asbestos trade and the wealthiest charity in the world. FILM Warren Miller's Playground Thursday May 29th (8pm) at State Theatre (49 Market St, Sydney). Presale $23/$20. Add "Playground" follows a bunch of the world's top snowboarders and skiers from Sweden to Canada, Alaska to Japan, and even Dubai. I have to admit I have a soft spot for anything snow after a couple of winters spent snowboarding in the Japanese countryside. (No you're not reading double). THEATRE Edward Scissorhands Tuesday June 3rd (8pm) at Sydney Opera House (2 Macquarie St, Sydney). $5. Add Opera versions of films adaptations freak me out. Learning that "Edward Scissorhands" was based on a childhood drawing of director Tim Burton which "reflected his feelings of isolation and being unable to communicate to people around him" freaks me out even more. That and the $5 ticket price to a normally $100 seat as long as you have a concession. Ghostwood + Mission Control Sunday June 1st (6pm) at Beach Road Hotel (71 Beach Rd, Bondi Beach). FREE! Add Not passing the hat around this time. Maybe.



Loud Noises
'Sup Magazine Issue 18 Christel, god bless her, is no longer eating fun as she joins the crew at "'Sup Magazine". Issue 18 has just dropped featuring Lightspeed Champion, Apache Beat, The Kills, Italians Do It Better, Ratty Rat Rat, Napoleon, and a hell of a lot more. Pay for postage and they'll send you one. WATIM #16 + 12x12 Busy little bees over at the [weAREtheIMAGEmakers] camp: Issue 16 has just hit the wire with Kid Zoom, Miso, Side Project, Caitlin Rigby, and smc[3] all in tow as well as another installment of their 12x12 exhibition hitting both Sydney and Melbourne in June/July. Word. Fleetwood Mac: Rumours I can't honestly remember if I ever heard "Rumours" spun on my folk's record player but its relevancy has stood the test of time.		The Cans Festival Nope, no typo, The Cans Festival saw a disused Eurostar tunnel made good by the likes of Banksy, Netherlands' Bandit and Brooklyn's Faile. (More goodness via Jeremy Gibbs). Skullphone Billboard (Not Hacking) The Sixty40 kids pulled me up on my "Hacking Digital Billboards" post in Kripy #132 - turns out he paid for the ads himself. Ghostly Swim Ghostly team up with [adult swim] equals free quality electronica for the masses in "Ghostly Swim". Dope. Splendour 2008 In The Sold Out + Band of Horses + Sigur Ros + Lightspeed Champion Lucky for us they have side shows!		Shaun Gladwell x Bill Henson The Bill Henson controversy has somewhat overshadowed what I thought was a pretty important announcement in Sydney artist Shaun Gladwell�s appointment to represent Australia at the Venice Biennale. Vince Meets the Crack Fox "The Wind in the Willows" gets "The Mighty Boosh" treatment. Snackr Rad. Like I needed another application to steal my attention away from what it was I was trying to do. Thanks Polar Bear.

About Kripy Kripy is me, Arturo Escartin, trying to make sense of the city I live in, Sydney. The Kripy Irregular Mailer contains the picks of the litter with the website updated daily. I may miss a week here or there - don't hate me for it. Ulterior motives exist: a place to brain dump; a way of sharing the constant deluge of things that are sent to and discovered by me, both analog and digital; a website I can truly call my own, the essence of "time suckage" which keeps me creating, evolving, learning and innovating on all things web.		Make Contact Say hello at input. Alternatively you can send me some old school snail mail: PO Box R75 Royal Exchange NSW 1225 And please don't get angry at me if I don't get back to you. The more time spent managing the inbox means less time spent finding things for you to do, read, listen, buy and whatever else fancies a tickle.
