| | People are always freaking out about how big this magazine is. Google it and you'll find a good serving of headlines that go something like 'POSTER SIZED MADNESS', 'MAGAZINE BIGGER THAN YOUR MUM' and 'IT'S REALLY BIG'. Dudes should chill. It's called broadsheet, and it's been around for a while.
What's more exciting is the fact that the creators of this mag don't try to dictate the order in which you explore its pages. The theme, 'I Love We', references The Naked Lunch, by William S. Burroughs, which was written in a way that meant its chapters could be read in any order. So, fittingly, the pages of issue 9 come as separate elements in a snugly fitted box. | | You pull them out and consume them in whatever way feels right. I chose to spread them around myself on the floor of our office, getting in everyone's way. You can do what you like. Go bananas! Inside the box you'll find photography, illustrations, fashion, words, a section by Burroughs himself, and an excerpt from Lucky Kunst by Gregor Muir. It's a small collection of inspiring things, brought together with the aim of generating an environment where ideas reason with visual pleasure. Oh, and it's REALLY BIG.

| | Lightning Bolt are a juggernaut. They are two men. Brian Chippendale and Brian Gibson. They play and they play and they play faster and they play faster and they play more and faster and more faster. Limbs, masks, and the floor, and the people crushing in, and Halloween. It's like it's Halloween. And then there's the noise, which is the music, and it hits you and you keep going and they keep going. Keep breathing.
Douglas Lance Gibson: Do you guys still record every practice session to 4-track?
Brian Chippendale: Yeah, we record everything. I do all the recording and I still do it onto the cassette 4-track that I have. Actually two of the songs on the latest album are from [recordings off] the 4-track. | | DLG: You've done that in the past as well, included home recorded tracks alongside stuff recorded in the studio.
BC: Yeah, we haven't done that in a while. Our first album had some of that stuff, then I've done solo stuff where I've recorded that way, and then, finally, for the new Lightning Bolt we put a few on there. It's the same old story where the demos sounded better than when we recorded them again. The demos just had this sort of magic to them. I think that the 4-track sounded amazing, so I was pushing to get this stuff on there... read the rest here! By Douglas Lance Gibson | | | | | | |

Now it's time for the rest of the country to take a wiff. Mr Will and his Kleinettes have transported this aesthetic onto the internet, replete with a Yoda-esque blog delivering timely lifestyle advice. With the exception of the fragrance experience itself (until someone invents an online scratch and sniff, you're going to have to know your end notes), the online store has all the fine wares of its hard-copy Melbourne counterpart, including Australian fragrances from Jurlique, Aesop and Glasshouse, boutique editions from Diptyque, Carthusia, and Costume National, and a variety of other delightful oddities such as french milled soaps and books on making jam. | | Purchases come beautifully wrapped and delivered directly to your door, making this a stress-free alternative to doing your Christmas shopping in the new year.

| | The girls over at Bake Sale for Art have been working hard all year with their ongoing project, Monthly Friend, and this Friday sees the final instalment for 2009. For one night only, emerging artists, curators and writers from Sydney and Melbourne will come together to exchange ideas via performance, experimental experience and baking. The event includes music, sound, video and installation works curated around the ubiquitous theme of 'pop', and includes new work from Mountain Woman, Luke Tipene and Emmanuela Prigioni. It's a chance to watch, and engage with, the ways in which we think about pop, from Roy (Lichtenstein) to Rihanna.
| | Pop will be musically re-imagined by Hoof and Antler, Alex Kiers and Hossein Ghademi and his Sufi Choir. Entry includes a copy of the Monthly Friend zine-gram; something to tide you over until the girls return in the new year. BYO soda as it will get steamy. By Toby Chapman | | | | | | | | |

| | 
| | Joel and Ethan Coen's latest film is an absolute winner. Surreal, richly allusive and cruelly hilarious, it narrates a decent man's struggle to reason his way out of a maze of absurd injustice.
Minneapolis, 1967, and physics professor Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg) is stressing about making tenure amid an anonymous whispering campaign against him and a possible attempt to bribe him. His no-good brother Arthur (Richard Kind) won't move off his couch, his bratty kids treat him with indifference, and in the ultimate indignity, his wife Judith (Sari Lennick) wants a divorce. She's taken up with the truly revolting Sy Ableman (a deliciously unctuous performance from Fred Melamed), who somehow has the local Jewish community convinced that he's a mensch - a serious man. | | A wealth of detail in this film gestures towards our need to make sense of things: Heisenberg's uncertainty principle; Arthur's epic probability project, the Mentaculus; a rabbi's rambling parable about teeth; the Jefferson Airplane lyric "When the truth turns out to be lies..." From the cryptic Yiddish prologue to the ominous ending, A Serious Man offers viewers as little solace as Larry. But like him, I couldn't help pondering what it all means.

| | Mary Louise Cecilia "Texas" Guinan was a saloon keeper, actress and entrepreneur. Having made her silent film debut in The Wildcat, she took advantage of Prohibition in New York by opening a speakeasy called the 300 Club in a basement on 54th Street. She earned $700,000 in ten months in 1926 selling drinks to George Gershwin, Reggie Vanderbilt and Walter Chrysler. But do you know the BEST thing about Texas Guinan? She would welcome all her patrons by hissing "Helloo, suckers!"
Some people just deserve to succeed. Like film buff (and indeed other kinds of buff) Ghita Loebenstein, who's opening her own Speakeasy Cinema this week at Paddington Town Hall. It's a place where you can watch the films that slip through the cracks of mainstream cinema programming, while sitting on a couch or a beanbag, while eating off a little tray, while drinking a beer. Ghita's also invited Melbourne-based animator Isobel Knowles to program a series of shorts that will show before the main features. | | There are three films up on the program so far, while the Speakeasy Cinema project settles into its first home. Opening night this Saturday is Aaron Rose's documentary Beautiful Losers, about the art star nerdery who hung out at Alleged Gallery in the '90s. Visit the Speakeasy site to read Ghita's interview with Aaron about the film. It's pretty much the same as Prohibition was, except Aaron was more like, "Helloo, f#!kers."

| | Unlike this senior, the only thing I've ever won on a scratchie was $2. Nudging away the grey film with a 20c coin, I totally knew that I was gonna win BIG. This certainty was followed by a short moment of burning anticipation before the final, well, FAIL. I always thought scratch and sniff stickers were better, but that's another story. A story before TMOD re-birthed the scratchie.

| | So one of the indicators of whether or not we're in recession is how often the word 'recession' is mentioned across mainstream media. Seriously. If we talk about it heaps, we're there, apparently. If only that process applied to 'Paris' or 'having good internet always' or 'three day weekends'. Meanwhile one of the more accurate indicators of our economic health seems to be good restaurants offering prime specials*. Bel Mondo might not occupy the lofty position amongst foodies that it once enjoyed, but there are still solid reasons to love it. | | Chief among these is afternoon sampling of the heavy wine list out on the balcony that overlooks Secret Park or at Bel Mondo's distinctive bar, but not to be outdone are the current specials: the $35 lunch main and drink (through November) and the $49 two-course spring dinner (throw on a third course for $17). With a menu like this, you'd be smart to cop one of these deals before they realise what our dollar's actually doing.

| | 
| | To my six-year-old mind, the definition of ‘anodes' and ‘cathodes' reminds me of that scene in Me and You and Everyone We Know where the button-nosed kid describes a poop travelling back and forth between, well, where poops come from. Anode = electrical charge in. Cathode = electrical charge out. Anode = in. Cathode = out. Back and forth, with a biddy bit of something steaming each way. But luckily, that's not quite the case. | | We're all adults here. Or pretend to be. And adults enjoy artistic festivals where good ideas and good people travel in, and enjoyment emanates out. Enter Anode, a fringe festival connecting artists like join-the-dots. It's free of overt curation and full of mainly filmic treats springing from the best place on the planet, New York. But there's also poetry you can eat, listening pods and more on the menu. Now you've got the scoop - scat along! By Angela Bennetts | | | | | | | | | | What:

| | The sun. ARGH! It's melting us! Our eyes! They are squinting. SQUINTING! Squinting is a terrible look: it says 'myopic and/or wrinkly'. That's not the vibe we're going for. Won't some benign overlord come and shield us from the light? Please oh please oh... Hi, Alpha 60. What have you got there? They look large and tortoiseshell and protective. Are they... shields for our eyes? What a delightful concept! Do you think we could have a pair? No no, we'd like them for free please, to give to our readers. They are squinting too - seems to be a universal affliction. $170 you say? Well that sounds reasonable, but really we'd like them for free. Please? Yes? Great! Thank you, from the bottom of our sensitive little corneas.
If you're squinty and would like to go in the draw for this eye protection device they call 'Lemi Demi', just answer the following question.

Myopic people can't see
a) things that are far away
b) things that are really close
c) things that are shaped like ovens
d) how gosh darn amazing I look in these sunglasses
