new low review

http://n-e-w-l-o-w.tumblr.com/
Tara cook came out of nowhere and literally eradicated the scene with her niche artwork.

art is a form of expression that is concerned more with content, context, and concept than audience expectations and entertainment value.
And boy does tara cook
take it to a new level
or a new low... might i say

.............art lol

new low: its on gertrude st in fitzroy.
so young, so much passion and creativity
just being harnessed into a little ball right in the epicentre of everything hot right now in melbourne

"Junk Sick - Rising Damp 

i have no idea how to review this stuff. when i go see a bunch of noise i can distinguish whats good and bad, but how do you describe whats going on without using the usual 'there were pedals, mixers and lots of leads...' line. i guess junk sick sounds like arranged and organized noise. its not just a bunch of shit thrown together in the hopes that it'll sound like something crazy and destructive, its good noise because its been planned and executed, like a successful plot to destroy the world....."

today us two editors of whatshot were in brunswick in a cafe
sipping our coffes, havin' a bit of a bitch
then we went mosey'ing on down
sydney road
and accidentally bump into peter hyde
we were like
"fancy seeing you here peter!"
and he insisted on taking us to see an arty movie.
he wouldn't take no for an answer
then he treated us to brunch.
ol' pete considers himself to be a bit of a coffee connoisseur, so he
took us editors to hhis favrite little cafe to finish off the day

WHATS DEINFATELY HOT RIGHT NOW:
school fetes. its the season for school fetes! so dont miss out! check your local newspapers or flyers around your town. lots of fun for all ages.
They normally have things like kids fashion shows, jumping castles, pin the tail on the donkey, fairy floss, lucky dip, petting zoo, pre owned toy sales, hot food, 2nd hand books, karaoke, sponge toss contest.
go to suburban school fetes, dont go to any brunswick school fetes cos they probably think they're too good for that stuff and probably have egg on spoon an sack races and stalls sellign homemade chutney and wooden toys and dream catchers

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/776/835/308/shut-down-club-dluxxx/#sign lets try and do something about this mess, this obvious disregard for human life that's happening right under our noses, in our backyard! every signature counts! we're doing this for a better tomorrow for our children!

us from the whatshot blog happened to come accross well-known vegan lloyd honeybrook today in coles doing his regular shopping. we noted how he got all the healthy packeted meals and one cheeky little mccain's frozen pizza, and he whispered to the lady at the counter "dont tell!!" and she giggled.

exclusive

WHATS HOT caught up with cooper bowman of ALTERED STATES TAPES and REUNION SACRED IBIS and chatted about what he'll be wearing to the upcoming CLUB D'LUXXX night.

cooper wouldn't give away all his juicy secrets.

but he did tell us this much:

"HINT: it involves sequins" - Cooper

does this give you the right to call them sluts now?

This just in:

Castings are great.

Update: Not Hot: CLUB D'LUXXX http://www.clubdluxxx.com/

definately not hot. the first show was promoted as a safe queer feminist friendly inclusive safe environment.

and lots of people turned up to have a fun night, but unfortunately a bunch of people got their wallets stolen!
and the nights organizers mysteriously embarked on a month-long european vacation right after!

you'd think that the show organizers would have been guilt-stricken after that occurence, but no! they are apparently not, and are even putting on a second show! what's next: some lovely party goers sexually assaulted at the second club d'luxx night, perhaps? i wouldnt put it past the show organizers to be unprepared for something like that considering they let some poor people at the first one get their wallets stolen!


watch out, NOT SAFE EVENT, NOT HOT!


"this has also been advertised as 'VIP Drug Den' so i have contacted my local police about it and we're trying to make sure this isn't reality." - angry member of the whats hot staff

i just love it
its great that we have these things around to remind us of the community we're a part of

After such a sad couple of months for Brunswick residents like ourselves from the 'whats hot' blog (due to the rape and murder of Jill), chatting with loved ones over a bottle of wine (or two) and music seems like a perfect option for this cold and rainy Sunday afternoon....

"Some people have Black Flag, others Velvet Underground or The Stooges. I have Castings." 

So meh :p

whats hot: d'luxxx club d'fuxxx http://www.clubdluxxx.com/
let me start by saying such vibrant young people with the craziest of fashions. I wouldn't mind getting a bit daggy myself in this deliciously filthy toe tapping fun.

whats not hot:
altered states tapes http://alteredstatesofsound.blogspot.com.au/
they ripped-off us from the 'whats hot' blog one time, so they might do it to u aswell. bad traders !!
more info:
three months after What's Hot agreed to trade with the label we sent the guy a facebook message enquiring about why we hadnt gotten our trade from him yet even though he received, and thoroughly enjoyed ours: 

September4 What's Hot:

like for real u need to get to sending us that tape from ur label and that tape from sengers
September 4 Cooper Bowman:

what.

yeah, i will, as soon as i make some more of the fossils one. sorry it's taken me a bit, haven't forgotten, just have lots of more important shit on my mind right now than fuckin around making tapes. senger hasn't given me anything to send you, i'll ask him again tho.

AFTER THIS WE WAITED AND THEN FOUND OURSELF BLOCKED BY HIM! THIS LABEL COULD RIP YOU OFF TOO


(btw whats wrong with  
"fuckin around making tapes"? ....sounds like somebody shouldnt be in the tape label business, esp. if they have that kinda attitude)

definately not hot!
