The Three-Day Blow #1 Who:
Edited by James Spinks Where:
Planet Books, 636-646 Beaufort St, Mt Lawley How much:
Free | | Approximately 1,700kms off the West Australian coast is an 19km long iceberg known as B17B . It's unlikely that it'll make it here in one piece, but the journey, none the less, is impressive. Ernest Hemmingway was fond of icebergs, or rather an "Iceberg Theory" of writing, one where less is more. New free Perth publication, The Three-Day Blow, is down with that idea too, paying homage to the economy of the short story. Hybrid in form, The Three-Day Blow physically folds out into an A3 read, this first issue comprising three short stories. Editor James Spinks delivers the moody Rebound Girl while Pasan Chandraweera's Second Chance has a whimsical surrealism, endearing due to the story's shortness. Alisdair Beer's Avocado maybe misses the mark, the story a little too laboured, its twist sadistic yet enjoyable. Like iceberg B17B, The Three-Day Blow promises much. Whether it eventually ‘arrives' (like that thing drifting off the WA coast) is another story, but it carries with it the promise of an impressive sight. By Scott-Patrick Mitchell | | | |

Exquisite Corpse Who:
Warpaint On:
Speak'n'spell | | Now it's only an EP, so let's not shit ourselves just yet, but Warpaint are pretty f*cking awesome. Coming from the star-studded and smog-misted hills of Los Angeles, this trio of babes is making music that walks that fine line we never knew existed between Beach House's dreaminess and Lindstrøm's beatiness. And this debut, Exquisite Corpse, is six perfect songs of hazy vocals, building rhythms and what sounds like... a lot of opium. The only downside to this release is that it only clocks in at thirty-five minutes. And while you could - obviously just in theory - listen to it on repeat for a few days... that might make everyone you know say you have an unhealthy obsession. Especially if you do it while looking at pictures of the band. And making a homemade t-shirt with their faces on it. I love you Warpaint! Oh. Um. Sorry. No, don't do that. Just give it a few listens and get psyched for a full length you normal person you. By Patrick Collins | | | |

Epidermis slide, by Brendan Thomas | | In the beginning, Jonah Cave created a unique performance night in Perth. He said, "let there be music and art!" and there was music and art. The people saw that this was good and cried "More, more!" In the second installment, Jonah sought help from the Bower Birds to collect blue shiny things from near and far. The people used the shiny things to build nests, where they sat and experienced the colourful music and pretty projections. Stories were told and it was good. In the third installment, Jonah relocated to a new place, and this time found inspiration skin deep. And, from the from kitchen aisle in the supermarket. Read on, please... Yes, Jonah Cave is back tonight for round three. Getting under the skin of Perth audiences, Part 3: Epidermis will feature live performances from the enchanting Sparrow (Adam Trainer and Gilbert Fawn) and Rabbit Island, both of whom will be swaddled in Glad Wrap membranes, and weaving mystical musical tales which invite you to do the same. And then, perhaps Jonah can rest. By Claire Krouzecky | | | |

For the fashion conscious in espionage, you can't go past the pin-hole spy camera disguised as a tie ($50).

Thanks to Perth International Arts Festival, we have a dbl to Bronson on Mon Dec 14 up for grabs! Email win@sixthousand.com.au with the subject line 'Just stroking my handlebar' | | Your film is called Bronson and it is not about movie legend Charles Bronson? How can you make this up to me, movie? By being an absorbing biopic of a real life criminal that I had not heard of, that's how! Britain's most violent prisoner, Michael Petersen, took the name Charlie Bronson to further elevate his notoriety. Although Petersen/Bronson already cut a memorable figure with his bald head, handlebar moustache and devilish grin, resembling nothing more than a demonic circus strong-man. Director Nicholas Winding Refn introduces us to Bronson suited up on stage, telling his life story to a hall of tuxedoed audience members, and then cuts to Bronson in action, a caged animal beating up the prison guards sent in to pacify him (all the while a Walker Brothers tune mournfully plays). Bronson was imprisoned on account of a small-time robbery but where he excelled criminally was in being a prisoner, viewing the cells as "hotels" and channelling his rage into punch-ups with "the screws" every chance he could. Key to the film is Tom Hardy, who brings a menacing charm to the role of Bronson, reminiscent of Eric Bana's performance in Chopper. Refn's direction aims for the grandiose, orchestrating stark Kubrickesque screen compositions to a soundtrack that alternates between classical music and pulsating electro-pop to brilliant effect. The only issue now is what would we call the Charles Bronson biopic?

Contact:
www.rembrandtrestaurant.com or 9371 9157 | | If you're anything like me, the thought of wrapping your mush around a hunk of bread dipped in lard doesn't exactly get the salivary juices flowing. Luckily (or unluckily), you don't live in rural Poland. I'll let you in on a little secret, Polish food is not only delicious but brimming with dietary benefits. When all's said and done, what kind of tucker do you think fuelled maestro Chopin back in the day? Not Golden Gaytimes, that's for sure. Rembrandt Restaurant is traditional Polish fare through and through: there's periogi (Polish dumplings), hearty goulash, and our favourite, golambki (cooked cabbage rolls filled with meat). Most meals are accompanied with a pickle. I don't know about you, but give me a pickle and that's me won over. Hook, line and sinker. Just like their penny scraping Polish ancestors, Rembrandts keep prices simple: main meals are under $20 (unless you opt for the trout) and all entrees are under $15. As a wise man once said, don't judge a book by its lardy bread. By Isabel Jane Gillett | | | |

Mulberry Picking Where:
Ask others for high yield trees When:
Nov-Dec How much:
free | | You don't have to make a lame purple dedication website or belt out One Eyed, One Horned, Flying Purple People Eater at the office karaoke night to showcase purple pride. Here's a recipe based entirely on purple appreciation, that'll have you showing up Violet in no time. 1) Take one bottle of vodka. Three of your tallest friends. Your 'art shirt'. One tennis ball...and a bucket. 2) To begin, drink some vodka and make your way on foot to the nearest mulberry tree. Experienced harvesters will know that elaborate disguises are unnecessary - be swift, be silent. 3) Person One holds the bucket, as Persons Two and Three scavenge the ripest fruit. Your job is to use the tennis ball to distract vicious looking dogs. 4) Should you get caught: return home and blend berries, icing sugar, mint, ice and remaining vodka into tall glasses, and destroy the evidence. Avoid your internet browser, and karaoke night, for best results. By John Van Bockxmeer | | | | | | What:
