| | It's true, producing a city guide has a lot of perks. Complimentary tickets, free CDs, drugs, R.S.I., drugs for R.S.I. But undeniably the best perk of the job is the amazing people that we get to meet. People who don't view the world in terms of ‘life' or ‘work' but simply continue to create because they love what they do.
The Internetwork, produced by Right Angle, and the newest online addition to The Thousands stable asks the people that inspire us to report on what inspires them. | | Artist and designer Jonathan Zawada, curator and publisher Joseph Allen Shea, fashion-based creative practice ffiXXed, photographers Lyn & Tony, Jacky Winter Group founder Jeremy Wortsman, Wooooo magazine editor Jason Crombie, Utopian Slumps gallerist Melissa Loughnan, artist and publisher Thomas Jeppe and film director Kris Moyes make up the first 12 contributors with another 12 due to be added over the coming months. With daily updates, The Internetwork will continue to evolve as an online resource for the creatively minded, while a series of special events will also support good ideas generated by the online network.

| | Jonathan Zawada is a man of many forms. He is one of the artists behind Glory Holes, he is the designer of What I Think About When Dancing, he is Petit Mal!, he is the creator of Rockmen, and the collaborative mind behind some of the silkiest tie-dye we've ever worn. For the purpose of this article, Jonathan is Fashematical, a limited-edition zine to commemorate the 50th (or 55th, who's counting) equation on his blog, Fashematics.
Fashematical is slightly more morbid than Jonathan's blog equations, but his considered satire is unchanged. | | Each page features a black and white illustration of ready-to-wear fashions from designers such as Bernhard Willhelm, John Galliano and Chanel, modelled on slobbering zombies and astonishingly thin robots. Like Fashematics, Fashematical is an obvious dig at an often ludicrous industry, yet it is not without respect for the level of craftsmanship that underpins the frivolity - reflected in the careful line work that Jonathan uses to create the Spring/Summer 2010 collections. Fashematical - you see - is fun, whichever way you choose to read it. By Nadia Saccardo | | | | | | |

| | Heralded as the ‘perfect mix of of everything from the past 40 years of popular music' the Phenomenal Handclap Band collective started when Daniel Collás and Sean Marquand - two New York underground club DJs with an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of esoteric music ranging from Brazilian soul to vintage psych-rock - got restless with playing other people's music and decided to produce their own. PHCB is the personification of their holy vision, made true with the throng of their supremely talented friends, who make the octagonal wonder that is PHCB.
Rachel Surgeoner: So it's about eight o'clock in the evening in New York right now yes? Wait, are you in New York at the moment?
Sean Marquand: Yep, I'm in Brooklyn | | RS: That's where you live?
SM: Yes
RS: And you've got a show tomorrow night at The Bowery Ballroom, huh?
SM: Yeah, we're looking forward to it - just finishing off all the last minute nonsense
RS: So, what did you do today/ tonight?
SM: Well, I just got back from getting a Christmas tree, I just walked it all the way down to Brooklyn, I'm a little exhausted. That's what we're doing this evening - setting up the Christmas tree and keeping warm inside. I always forget the traditions; it's nice to do it once in a while... read the rest here!

Then say hello to your mugshot - a sterile, often telling assassination of your face (unless you've read Nobody Told Me There'd Be Days Like These and learned to say "douche" to produce the perfect pout). | | Oh Really have pooled an unusual series of self portraits from several artists who are on the ascent. People like Seekayem, Baden Palithorpe and Ears explore the facial folds of their reflections - inflating and deflating the elements we individually love to hate. As they engage with and abstract their dials, brows and scowls, we enter a stenciled, pop mass of art clones.

| | 
| | Sam Taylor-Wood's photographic and video work tackles sex, vulnerability and pseudo-religious catharsis - you may know her portrait of David Beckham sleeping - so it's fitting that her first feature film follows one of music's biggest icons, John Lennon. Nowhere Boy depicts John (Aaron Johnson) as a lost, angry teenager ricocheting between his stern guardian, Aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott-Thomas), his feckless mum Julia (Anne-Marie Duff) who'd given him up when he was small, and his newfound love: rock'n'roll. | | The production design is lushly symbolic - womb-like ruby-reds at Julia's house, cool, crisp blues at Mimi's, verdant Liverpool parks and velvety dark theatres. Music forges emotional connections: the grave, pencil-necked Paul (Thomas Sangster) jousts and bonds with John over guitar riffs, and in an uncomfortably erotic scene, mother and son listen to ‘I Put A Spell On You'.
While John isn't often a sympathetic figure - he's often a cruel dickhead - the camera constantly caresses Johnson's pretty face (he's much more conventionally good-looking than the real Lennon). If anything, Nowhere Boy is a little too reverential. Taylor-Wood wants to capture a budding genius beginning to flower, and all the shit around him is just treated as fertiliser.

| | We were doing a little cafe reconnoiter this morning, Redfern via Bourke Street and back to the city. Anyway, Option One turned out to be Option Best. Moose is stashed in a corner of Redfern that could have just done with any cafe, let alone a good one.
The nattily-tiled place is only tiny, offering a single table inside and a smattering of outdoor seating. Similarly, the menu is compact, with an organic focus and gluten-free options if you're that way inclined. Out of interest, I got a chai loaf with sour cherries which is a welcome breakfast remix of your classic banana bread. Coffee, via Wes of the sadly defunct Love Your Butcher, comes recommended. | | The cliche I'm trying to avoid using here is quality-not-quantity, but it's just so apt.

| | Regardless of your good intentions, come January 2nd your brain is going to be steaming. It's like that awful ad for panty liners: two days, 17 parties, 260 drinks, one pair of undies (or whatever they said). Only you can't get a liner for your noggin, so you just have to cop the ooze your brain starts to leak.
Options for dealing with said ooze include:
1) Being a little bitch and and bunkering down in your room until the hurty goes away.
2) Taking it like a good man should, mustering your second wind and heading right back out there. | | We're taking option two. You know why? Because we're well hard, obviously, but also because Micachu & The Shapes and Telepathe are playing their only Sydney club sets that night. Plus, some of our finest talent will be in attendance, with sets from Seekae, Canvas Kites, Tennis, Cabaret Callado and Shady Lane, as well as Melbourne's Otouto and Chicago. If all those rock stars can front up after playing NYE gigs up the wazoo, then surely you can too.

As if thats not enough of a wild ride, she's going to have you whipping your wee head back with her wisecracks and real tears running down your cold, hard cheeks. She will be so exhilarating, in fact, that if you are unaccustomed to watching such brilliance in nature you may well find your eyes begging for the familiar comfort of a Great White emerging from the shadows to take a baby seal pup, all comfortable IMAX couch and protective specs like. - SB | | | | | | | | |

| | The music festival was basically invented in 1969 when a little free-for-all you might have heard of called 'Woodstock' took place. The formula was foolproof: Take people, apply substances, slather with mud, set them loose and let the music play. It all sounds simple, but the finesse is really in the line up.
Days Like This! is a relatively new kid on the summer festival block, but it seems they've mastered the line up thing already. They've lured Method Man and Redman, Cat Power and Dirty Delta Blues, the Black Seeds, Micachu and the Shapes and the Lost Valentinos to come out and play. Though being held at Moore Park, you might have to bring your own mud.
Tickets are limited to keep the day relaxed, but we have a double pass and CD pack featuring the artists to give away! To enter, just answer the following question.
