ANZAC spirit
The Anzac spirit or Anzac legend is a concept which suggests that Australian and New Zealand soldiers possess shared national characteristics, specifically the qualities those soldiers are believed to have shown on the battlefield in World War I. [ [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9400E1DD113FE233A25755C2A9629C946796D6CF&scp=12&sq=New+Zealand+anzac&st=p "'ANZAC Day' in London; King, Queen, and General Birdwood at Services in Abbey,"] "New York Times." April 26, 1916.] These qualities cluster around several ideas, including endurance, courage, ingenuity, good humour, and mateship.cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = 2003 | url = http://www.rslwahq.org.au/anzacspirit.html | title = The ANZAC Spirit | publisher = Returned and Services League of Australia Western Australian Branch | accessdate = 2006-11-10] According to this concept, the soldiers are perceived to have been innocent and fit, stoical and laconic, irreverent in the face of authority, naturally egalitarian and disdainful of British class differences.Robert Manne, [http://www.theage.com.au/news/robert-manne/the-war-myth-that-made-us/2007/04/24/1177180648069.html The war myth that made us, "The Age", April 25, 2007] ]
The Anzac spirit also tends to capture the idea of an Australian "national character", with the landing at Anzac Cove often described as being the moment of birth of Australia's nationhood.Robert Manne, [http://www.theage.com.au/news/robert-manne/the-war-myth-that-made-us/2007/04/24/1177180648069.html The war myth that made us, "The Age", April 25, 2007] ]
The concept was first expressed in the reporting of the landing at Anzac Cove by Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett; as well as later on and much more extensively by Charles Bean. It is regarded as an Australasian legend, although its critics refer to it as the Anzac myth.Robert Manne, [http://www.theage.com.au/news/robert-manne/the-war-myth-that-made-us/2007/04/24/1177180648069.html The war myth that made us, "The Age", April 25, 2007] ] Tony Smith, [http://www.australianreview.net/digest/2006/09/smitht.html Conscripting the Anzac myth to silence dissent] , "Australian Review of Public Affairs", September 11, 2006.]
Historical development of the concept
The British war correspondent Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett provided the first reports of the landing at Anzac Cove by the newly formed Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC). His report was published in Australia on 8 May 1915:
"They waited neither for orders nor for the boats to reach the beach, but, springing out into the sea, they waded ashore, and, forming some sort of rough line, rushed straight on the flashes of the enemy's rifles."cite web | year = | url = http://www.awm.gov.au/dawn/legend/ashmead.asp | title = The dawn of the
| format = | work = | publisher = Australian War Memorial | accessdate = 2006-11-10]
Ashmead-Bartlett's account of the soldiers was unashamedly heroic:
"There has been no finer feat in this war than this sudden landing in the dark and the storming of the heights... General Birdwood told the writer that he couldn't sufficiently praise the courage, endurance and the soldierly qualities of the Colonials (The Australians) were happy because they had been tried for the first time and not found wanting."Robert Manne, [http://www.theage.com.au/news/robert-manne/the-war-myth-that-made-us/2007/04/24/1177180648069.html The war myth that made us, "The Age", April 25, 2007] ]
Also in 1915, in response to the reporting of the efforts of the Australian troops, the Australia poet Banjo Paterson wrote "We're All Australians Now", including the verse:
"The mettle that a race can show"
"Is proved with shot and steel,"
"And now we know what nations know"
"And feel what nations feel." [cite web | last = Paterson | first = A. B. | authorlink = Banjo Paterson | year = 1915 | url = http://oldpoetry.com/opoem/25661-A-B--Banjo-Paterson--We-re-All-Australians-Now- | title = "We're All Australians Now" | work = Oldpoetry | publisher = allpoetry.com | accessdate = 2006-11-10 ]
The Anzac spirit was particularly popularised by Charles Bean, Australia's official war historian. Bean encapsulated the meaning of Anzac in his publication "Anzac to Amiens":
"Anzac stood, and still stands, for reckless valor in a good cause, for enterprise, resourcefulness, fidelity, comradeship, and endurance that will never own defeat." [National Library of Australia, [http://www.nla.gov.au/gallipolidespatches/2-1-1-bean.html "Charles Edwin Woodrow Bean"] ]
For the soldiers at Battle of Gallipoli, Bean argued, life would not have been worth living if they had betrayed the ideal of mateship.Robert Manne, [http://www.theage.com.au/news/robert-manne/the-war-myth-that-made-us/2007/04/24/1177180648069.html The war myth that made us, "The Age", April 25, 2007] ] Despite the loss at Gallipoli, Australian and New Zealand soldiers were seen to have displayed great courage, endurance, initiative and discipline. The stereotype developed that the Anzac rejected unnecessary restrictions, possessed a sardonic sense of humour, was contemptuous of danger, and proved himself the equal of anyone on the battlefield.cite web | year = | url = http://www.awm.gov.au/dawn/spirit/index.asp | title = The ANZAC Spirit | format = | work = | publisher = Australian War Memorial | accessdate = 2008-05-02]
Following Australia's self-defence during the Second World War, the Australian myth of the Anzac spirit was transformed by conceptions of heroic suffering, particularly in the battlefields of Papua New Guinea and in Japanese controlled POW camps.Fact|date=February 2008
1958 saw the publication of Russel Ward's "The Australian Legend". Promoting the egalitarianism of the Australian bush and its permutation into the Anzac soldiers as the Australian Legend, it soon became a landmark book in Australian historical writing.John Arnold, [http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/school_education/publications_resources/national_inquiry_into_school_history/appendix_d.htm "Australian History in Print: a bibliographical survey of influential twentieth-century texts"] , National Inquiry into School History, Government of Australia]
During the 1960s and 1970s, due to lack of observance of Anzac Day in general society, the idea of a unique Anzac spirit began to fade. Especially among baby boomers, interest in Anzac Day reached its lowest point in the aftermath of the anti-war demonstrations over Australian involvement in the Vietnam War. [http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,18916129-601,00.html The Anzac Spirit, "The Australian", April 25, 2006] ] Vietnam veterans, especially those taken in the forced draft, were represented by some in the 1970s as lacking the Anzac spirit.Fact|date=February 2008
A resurgence in popular commemoration of Anzac Day in the 1980s (possibly linked to the release of the film "Gallipoli") brought the idea of an Anzac spirit back into prominence in Australian political discourse.Fact|date=February 2008 There has been an increase in people, especially youth, attending Anzac Day Dawn Services in Australia and New Zealand,Anne-Marie Hede and John Hall, "Anzac Day and Australian nationalism: assessing the marketing lifecycle of this cultural phenomenon", Deakin University: www.deakin.edu.au/research/stories/hede/anzac-vietnam.doc] where the Anzac spirit is often invoked.cite news | url = http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200604/s1623517.htm | title = Anzac Day remembered across the globe | work = ABC News Online | date = 2006-04-25 | accessdate = 2007-05-10 ] [http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/thousands-mark-anzac-day-at-gallipoli/2007/04/25/1177459765055.html "Thousands mark Anzac Day at Gallipoli"] , "Sydney Morning Herald", April 25, 2007]
The Anzac spirit and Australian national identity
Coming just fourteen years after the Federation of Australia, the Gallipoli campaign was one of the first international events that saw Australians taking part as Australians. As such, it has been seen as a key event in forging a sense of national identity.cite news | url = http://www.abc.net.au/news/background/2008/04/24/2226523.htm | title = Anzac Day: remembering Australians who served | work = ABC News Online | date = 2008-04-24 | accessdate = 2008-05-25 ] According to Dr Frank Bongiorno, Senior Lecturer in History at the University of New England:
The Gallipoli campaign was the beginning of true Australian nationhood. When Australia went to war in 1914, many white Australians believed that their Commonwealth had no history, that it was not yet a true nation, that its most glorious days still lay ahead of it. In this sense the Gallipoli campaign was a defining moment for Australia as a new nation. [http://www.acn.net.au/articles/anzac/ "ANZAC Day"] , Australian Government Culture and Recreation Portal]
Ernest Scott's influential "A Short History of Australia", which remained a standard school text for nearly four decades from 1916 and went through six editions in its author's lifetime, clearly enunciated this concept. In the preface to the book's first edition, Scott linked the European settlement of Australia with the idea of Australia becoming a nation on the battlefields of Gallipoli:
This Short History of Australia begins with a blank space on the map and ends with the record of a new name on the map, that of Anzac.John Arnold, [http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/school_education/publications_resources/national_inquiry_into_school_history/appendix_d.htm "Australian History in Print: a bibliographical survey of influential twentieth-century texts"] , National Inquiry into School History, Government of Australia]
Charles Bean also propagated this view, extending the notion to suggest that New Zealand nationhood was also born in the First World War. In 1924 Bean wrote that:
Anzac Day now belongs to the past and during the war all energy was concentrated on the future but the influence of the Gallipoli Campaign upon the national life of Australia and New Zealand has been far too deep to fade… it was on the 25th of April 1915 that the consciousness of nationhood was born.Anne-Marie Hede and John Hall, "Anzac Day and Australian nationalism: assessing the marketing lifecycle of this cultural phenomenon", Deakin University: www.deakin.edu.au/research/stories/hede/anzac-vietnam.doc]
The popular belief that the Anzacs, through their spirit, forged Australia's national character, is still today frequently expressed.cite news | url = http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200604/s1623517.htm | title = Anzac Day reme>mbered across the globe | work = ABC News Online | date = 2006-04-25 | accessdate = 2007-05-10 ] For example, in 2006 the Governor-General of Australia, Michael Jeffery gave an address in which he said that although the Anzacs lost the campaign they created a lasting identity for Australia:
We are summoned to recall the battle sacrifices of Australian farmers and tally clerks, teachers and labourers and to commemorate outstanding courage and strength of character in the face of sustained adversity... [The campaign] won for us an enduring sense of national identity based on those iconic traits of mateship, courage, compassion and nous.cite news | url = http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200604/s1623517.htm | title = Anzac Day remembered across the globe | work = ABC News Online | date = 2006-04-25 | accessdate = 2007-05-10 ]
An extension of this belief is the idea that the Anzacs set an example for future generations of Australians to follow, laying the bedrock of 'Australian values'. In 2007 the Australian Defence Minister Brendan Nelson articulated this view, stating that the Anzacs "forged values that are ours and make us who we are, reminding us that there are some truths by which we live." [http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/thousands-mark-anzac-day-at-gallipoli/2007/04/25/1177459765055.html "Thousands mark Anzac Day at Gallipoli"] , "Sydney Morning Herald", April 25, 2007] Nelson had earlier argued that the story of Simpson and his donkey rescuing wounded men at Gallipoli "represents everything that's at the heart of what it means to be an Australian". [http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2005/s1445262.htm 'Teach Australian values or "clear off", says Nelson'] , "PM", Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 24 August 2005.]
The Anzac spirit is also sometimes said to be exhibited during Australian civilian crises. For example, the Returned and Services League of Australia states:
The Spirit of the ANZAC continues today in times of hardship such as cyclones, floods and bush fires. At those times Australians come together to rescue one another, to ease suffering, to provide food and shelter, to look after one another, and to let the victims of these disasters know they are not alone.cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = 2003 | url = http://www.rslwahq.org.au/anzacspirit.html | title = The ANZAC Spirit | publisher = Returned and Services League of Australia Western Australian Branch | accessdate = 2006-11-10]
Criticisms of the concept
Professor Manning Clark, in his influential work "A History of Australia", suggested a contrasting image of the innocent and honourable Anzac soldier. From a range of sources he provided evidence of the soldiers' bad behaviour. For example, he presented evidence that, as recruits, some indulged in sex orgies with an 18-year-old girl at the Broadmeadows camp before being shipped to war. [http://www.acn.net.au/articles/anzac/ "ANZAC Day"] , Australian Government Culture and Recreation Portal] Others confronted police in violent scuffles on the streets of Melbourne. [http://www.acn.net.au/articles/anzac/ "ANZAC Day"] , Australian Government Culture and Recreation Portal] Clark also recorded that in Egypt some soldiers burned the belongings of local people, brawled, got drunk and rioted, and spent sufficient time in the local brothels for many of them to suffer from venereal disease. [http://www.acn.net.au/articles/anzac/ "ANZAC Day"] , Australian Government Culture and Recreation Portal]
Other scholars such as professor of politics at La Trobe University, Robert Manne, have also questioned the veracity or the Anzac legend, arguing that it is more accurate to describe the concept as a mythology.Robert Manne, [http://www.theage.com.au/news/robert-manne/the-war-myth-that-made-us/2007/04/24/1177180648069.html The war myth that made us, "The Age", April 25, 2007] ] Dr Dale Blair of Deakin University suggests that:
While traits such as egalitarianism, resourcefulness and initiative are assumed and maintained in the nation's popular memory as a truthful representation, not only of Australia's First World War soldiers, but also, of the national character, they were not sufficiently evident in the experience of the 1st Battalion [at Gallipoli] to justify their advancement as characteristics general to Australian soldiers or the nation.Peter Edgar, [http://www.awm.gov.au/journal/j36/edgarreview.htm "Review of Dinkum Diggers: an Australian battalion at war" by Tony Blair] , Australian War Memorial Journal]
According to Blair, the official war historian Charles Bean "advanced an idealised view of sacrifice to provide the nation with higher meaning and comfort as compensation for the death of its soldiers".Peter Edgar, [http://www.awm.gov.au/journal/j36/edgarreview.htm "Review of Dinkum Diggers: an Australian battalion at war" by Tony Blair] , Australian War Memorial Journal] Professor Verity Burgmann of the University of Melbourne argues that the prevailing picture of Anzac and later battles on the Western Front as the highest representation of national unity and shared sacrifice is a misrepresentation, because two conscription referenda were defeated in Australia, and many Australians were totally opposed to any participation in the war. [http://uninews.unimelb.edu.au/unarticleid_5088.html Shane Cahill, "Don't mention the anti-war feeling", "The University of Melbourne Voice" Vol. 3, No. 1, 14 April - 12 May 2008] ]
Other sceptics have questioned the idea that Australia's "national character" was forged on the beaches of Gallipoli. In 2008 an editorial in the "Sydney Morning Herald" stated:
But why should Australians now, 90 years later, be still so eager for some stereotypical reaffirmation of their character? Why the self-doubt? The danger in the transformation - as remembrance replaces memory, and nationalism replaces remembrance - is that the solemnity and the serious purpose of Anzac Day will be lost in an irrelevant search for some kind of essence of Australianness.cite news | url = http://www.smh.com.au/news/editorial/anzac-a-day-to-quell-the-ardour-for-desperate-glory/2008/04/24/1208743142809.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1 | title = Anzac: a day to quell the ardour for desperate glory | work = Sydney Morning Herald | date = 2008-04-25 | accessdate = 2008-05-26 ]
Similarly, journalist Mark McKenna disputes the notion that the character traits that supposedly define the Anzac spirit are uniquely and demonstrably Australian, arguing that these virtues are in fact universal, being "found in Palestine and Iraq, in Darfur and East Timor, in Afghanistan and Zimbabwe."Mark McKenna, [http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21813244-25132,00.html Patriot Act] , "The Australian", June 06, 2007. Accessed 2007-06-16.]
Alan Young, a World War Two veteran and film maker, presents a different view of the origins of the Anzac tradition in his film" [http://www.forgingtheanzacs.com Forging the Anzac Tradition, The Untold Story] ". Young argues that "If Gallipoli is the birthplace of the Anzac acronym, then the Western Front is where the Anzac legend grew up, stood tall and cemented their place in international history; and in our hearts". He points out that five times the number of men died in the "real war" at the Western Front than at the disastrous Gallipoli diversion, yet many Australasians know very little of this sacrifice.
Some have also critiqued the masculine underpinnings of the Anzac legend. According to popular notions of the Anzac spirit, the male bonding or mateship becomes the main characteristic in the description of Australianess, yet these characteristics are seen to imply that the true Australian is inevitably and only male. [http://www.petra.ac.id/asc/people/immigrants/national_identity.html "National Identity"] Australian Studies Centre, Petra Christian University] Some feminists have therefore described this notion as being exclusionary and discriminatory, and contend that, as a result, it cannot possibly define what it means to be Australian. [http://www.petra.ac.id/asc/people/immigrants/national_identity.html "National Identity"] Australian Studies Centre, Petra Christian University] [ABC Radio National/Open Learning, [http://www.abc.net.au/ola/citizen/eps/ep02/txonly02.htm "The Good Citizen." Program Two: Imagining Australia] , Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 1998.] [Patricia Grimshaw, Marilyn Lake, Ann McGrath and Marian Quartly, "Creating a Nation", McPhee/Gribble/Penguin, 1994, (reprinted 1996, 2000).] Professor Joy Damousi has questioned a view of Australian identity which relies exclusively on militarism and heroism, arguing that this obscures a more complex, diverse and inclusive understanding of the notion. [http://uninews.unimelb.edu.au/unarticleid_5088.html "Gallipoli – remembering and learning", "The University of Melbourne Voice" Vol. 3, No. 1, 14 April - 12 May 2008] ]
More broadly, Dr Martin Ball of the University of Melbourne argues that conflating the Anzac spirit with a supposedly collective Australian national character exposes an uncritically narrow understanding of Australian history:
The Anzac tradition holds many values for us all to celebrate, but the myth also suppresses parts of Australian history that are difficult to deal with. Anzac is a means of forgetting the origins of Australia. The Aboriginal population is conveniently absent. The convict stain is wiped clean. Postwar immigration is yet to broaden the cultural identity of the population.Martin Ball, [http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/04/23/1082616327419.html What the Anzac Revival means, "The Age", April 24, 2004] ]

We've gone over this before, but make sure to wash & moisturize your face. A clean and hydrated base allows makeup to sit on top of the skin rather than being absorbed into it. Plus, if your skin isn't terribly uneven, you can more confidently skip foundation or another base (think tinted moisturizer, BB/CC cream) altogether.
Use a concealer or foundation only where you need it. For me, it's under my eyes and on a few spots here and there. The trick here is to use a product with light- to medium-coverage that matches your skin color. If you use a product with full-coverage or something lighter than your skin color, it will be too obvious that you have makeup under your eyes, for instance, but not the rest of your face.
When choosing colors for your eyes, cheeks, and lips, choose those that are naturally occurring--ie: soft browns, muted pinks, or even subtle golds. Examine your face when you naturally flush--what colors appear? What colors are present already in your face, in the crease of your eyes, when you rub your lips together? Choose colors close to what you see in your face without product. Products with shimmer are ok, but not too much. And choose a glossy finish over glittery.
Blending is key for any makeup look, but especially when you want something that looks natural. With each step, make sure you blend in whatever color you add to your face so there are no harsh edges. When you look close up, you can't tell exactly where the color starts. It's more of a beautiful ombre going gradually from your skin color to the makeup.
I love to keep the focus on one aspect of the face. If you choose to highlight your eyes, go with a simple, lip. If you want a bit more of a structured lip, maybe go light on your eyes. Dewy skin can be the main attraction by keeping the rest subdued.
For me, it's easy to get carried away once I start putting on makeup. I start with my favorite high coverage concealer and next thing I know I'm putting on liquid liner and all the rest! The key for me is to keep it simple and choose a few areas you want to cover or enhance. Stick to those areas and do little on the rest. For me, it's concealer, mascara and filling in my brows. Easy Peasy. And if you have more questions, as always, I'm here for you, Lady.

U.S. Authorities Return Antiquities Worth $19 Million to Italy, Including 27 Objects Seized From the Met
The transfer also includes objects seized from the collection of billionaire Michael Steinhardt.
Min Chen, January 25, 2023

Italy has welcomed home nearly 60 looted artifacts, receiving them from U.S. authorities, who recovered around half of the objects from the holdings of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Collectively worth about $19 million, the relics were returned to the Italian authorities by the Manhattan District Attorney's office in July and September 2022, and earlier this week, were exhibited at a press conference in Rome. "For us Italians," said Vincenzo Molinese, head of the Carabinieri art squad, "the value of these artworks, which is the value of our historic and cultural identity, is incalculable."
Among the repatriated artifacts are a white marble bust of Roman emperor Septimius Severus, which was recovered in 2020, on the eve of it heading to auction at Christie's New York; as well as the Marble Head of Athena, a 200 B.C.E. sculpture that was filched from a temple in central Italy, and a kylix or drinking cup, which dates back to 470 B.C.E., both among the 27 objects seized from the Met last year.
Also included is a fresco, dated to 50 C.E., depicting a young Hercules battling a snake. The work, which survived the 79 C.E. eruption of Mount Vesuvius, was looted by tomb raiders from a villa in the ancient town of Herculaneum and illegally run into the U.S. Italy first asked for its return in 1997.

All 60 objects had been variously smuggled into the U.S. over the past five decades by traffickers Giacomo Medici, Giovanni Franco Becchina, Pasquale Camera, and Edoardo Almagiá, notorious for employing local looters to pillage archaeological sites across Italy.
While their criminal enterprises were frequently in competition with one another, all four sold artifacts to Michael Steinhardt, the billionaire who'd amassed a hoard of plundered relics, including the Herculaneum fresco for $650,000 in 1995. Following a multiyear investigation into his collection and illicit collecting practices, Steinhardt agreed to a lifetime ban from acquiring antiquities in 2021.
"These 58 pieces represent thousands of years of rich history, yet traffickers throughout Italy utilized looters to steal these items and to line their own pockets," Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., Manhattan District Attorney, said in a statement following the return of the artifacts. "For far too long, they have sat in museums, homes, and galleries that had no rightful claim to their ownership."
At the event in Rome, officials on both sides stressed the ongoing need to crack down on the illicit trafficking of antiquities.
With this latest repatriation, Italy's culture minister Gennaro Sangiuliano said that Italian cultural authorities are contemplating returning the artifacts to museums located close to where they were excavated. A special exhibition of the recovered objects (Italy inaugurated a Museum of Rescued Art last year to house recovered art), he added, is also being considered.

Mrs. Anfison really helped me feel confident about learning. I struggled through school for a while. I had a head injury in grade school that made school challenging until I was able to over come those barriers.
Thank you Mrs. Anfison for your dedication and your ability to teach to each student's unique style of learning. You believed in me. My own experience of having learning difficulties inspired me to work with children and provide them the opportunity to succeed in school at the beginning stages of their life.

The South African Competition Commission has found that pharmaceutical firms GlaxoSmithKline South Africa (Pty) Ltd (GSK) and Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) have contravened the Competition Act of 1998. The firms have been found to have abused their dominant positions in their respective anti-retroviral (ARV) markets.
In particular the Commission has found the firms have engaged in the following restrictive practices:
Denied a competitor access to an essential facility
Excessive pricing
Engaged in an exclusionary act
The Commission has decided to refer the matter to the Competition Tribunal for determination.
Menzi Simelane, Commissioner at the Competition Commission, said: "Our investigation revealed that each of the firms has refused to license their patents to generic manufacturers in return for a reasonable royalty. We believe that this is feasible and that consumers will benefit from cheaper generic versions of the drugs concerned. We further believe that granting licenses would provide for competition between firms and their generic competitors."
"We will request the Tribunal to make an order authorising any person to exploit the patents to market generic versions of the respondents' patented medicines or fixed dose combinations that require these patents, in return for the payment of a reasonable royalty. In addition, we will recommend a penalty of 10% of the annual turnover of the respondents' ARVs in South Africa for each year that they are found to have violated the Act."
Simelane said these practices violate the Competition Act of 1998's prohibitions against excessive pricing (section 8(a)), refusing access to essential facilities (section 8(b)) and exclusionary acts that have an anticompetitive effect that outweighs technological, efficiency or other pro-competitive gains (section 8(c)).
The original complaint in this matter was filed by Hazel Tau and others alleging that GSK and BI were charging excessive prices to the detriment of consumers for their patented ARV medicines.
GSK and BI hold patents on certain antiretroviral (ARV) medications used to treat HIV/AIDS. GSK holds patents in South Africa on AZT (Retrovir), lamivudine (3TC) and AZT/lamivudine (Combivir). BI holds patents in South Africa on nevirapine (NVP, Viramune).

Zombies in the House of Commons
So. Zombies. Need I say more? Yes, unfortunately, I really do need to say more, especially considering a recent debate in the Canadian House of Commons in regards to the zombie apocalypse.
You may think I am joking, and, to be quite honest, I wouldn't blame you for thinking so. But this isn't a joke.
This whole zombie nonsense started in Québec. During an annual symposium to be held Feb. 19–21 on civil security, there will be a workshop on how to survive a zombie apocalypse. Popular culture, I suppose, has brought to the governments' eyes the idea of a zombie apocalypse—and apparently it is being taken seriously.
Québec is not the first governmental body to see zombies as a threat to civil security. In the U.S., the Center For Disease Control has a graphic novel on its website dubbed "Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic." Denis Landry, director of disaster recovery with the Québec civil security department, says in an interview with the Ottawa Citizen, "Just about every U.S. state has adopted this kind of exercise, whether it be workshops or simulations."
Even our own wonderful, beautiful province jumped onto this bandwagon before Québec. Last May, B.C. conducted a similar exercise to what was planned in Québec, which offered tips on how to prepare for and fend off a zombie apocalypse.
The Québec government has since decided to not hold the training exercise, possibly because of what happened on Feb. 13 in the Canadian House of Commons.
During question period on Feb. 13, NDP parliamentary member Pat Martin voiced concerns over zombies:
"I rise today to salute the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta and the Province of Québec for putting in place emergency measures for dealing with the possibility of an invasion of zombies. Now, I don't need to tell you, Mister Speaker, that zombies don't recognize borders and that a zombie invasion in the United States could easily turn into a continent-wide pandemic if it's not contained. So, on behalf of concerned Canadians everywhere, Mister Speaker, I want to ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs, is he working with his American counterparts to develop an international zombie strategy so that a zombie invasion does not turn into a zombie apocalypse?"
In reply, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird assured Canadians that the House of Commons is a zombie-free zone. "I am dead-icated to ensuring this never happens," Baird says.
There's nothing wrong with a little bit of humour in the House of Commons. It is a place where child-like antics and pointless arguments ensue on a daily basis. So, I guess a little humour can't hurt, right?
Maybe so. But, I feel a little differently. These politicians are supposed to be discussing matters that are important and relevant to the Canadian people. Discussing a hypothetical, almost entirely fictional possibility is…well, to put it bluntly, moronic. Sure, be prepared. Good. I'll be glad that my government has put in place a defense procedure should zombies ever rise form their graves and storm across North America. But at some point people have to stop and ask: "Wait a minute, this is what my tax dollars are going towards? Is this what I elected these officials to discuss?"
I sincerely hope that the answers you come up with to those questions are: "No!" I would rather they talked about improving education, lessening crime, or anything else more important than zombies. Zombies are a discussion for pop culture aficionados, not politicians. Members of the literati could embark upon a meaningful, in-depth discussion about the differences between types of zombies, or the characterization of zombies, or the tropes associated with zombies. Hell, even your average everyday people could discuss zombies or come up with a plan for how to survive in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
I mean, I have my own plan on how to survive such events. You know what I don't have, but could see myself needing—something that I can't do on my own but my government could do for me—is a plan in case of an earthquake or a tsunami or a landslide or even an invasion. Those are important matters that require defense platforms. Hell, even how to survive a fierce winter storm that cuts off power for several days or weeks would be more useful than discussing zombies.
I am blown away by the Canadian government's silliness. But then again, Pierre Trudeaux danced behind the Queen. Maybe Canada is just a silly place sometimes. If that's the case, then I would like to give my thanks to the Canadian government for making me laugh heartily and forget about the heavy woes of the world.


Colonel Williams offers a finished research of British bombing efforts within the nice struggle. He contends that the professional model of prices and effects underplays the prices whereas overplaying the implications. Supported by way of postwar findings of either US and British overview groups, he argues that British bombing efforts have been considerably much less potent than heretofore believed. Colonel Williams additionally provides a powerful argument that German air defenses brought on significantly much less harm to British forces than pilot mistakes, malfunctioning airplane, and undesirable climate. That we believed another way helps the suggestion that British bombing raids had pressured Germany to move major air resources to protect opposed to them. Williams, even though, came across no proof that this type of move happened. real effects, Colonel Williams argues, stand in powerful distinction to claimed effects.

Rolling Stone's 200 Greatest Australian Albums of All Time
Royal Headache, 'High'
Distant & Vague 2015
Royal Headache were true punk romantics. A band that profoundly believed in the enduring power of love, and were unafraid to capture its immensity.
In 2012, the band released their self-titled debut album, a word-of-mouth success amongst the Sydney punk scene. In 2013, frontman Shogun made the premature declaration that the band had broken up. In 2014, they reformed once more, playing a handful of sold-out shows before returning with their second and final album, High.
High is an album stripped of hidden agenda. It is among the rawest, most expressively authentic guitar music ever to emerge from Australia. It is ultra-pure propulsive punk, but Shogun, with his Motown-indebted, hyper-charged delivery, takes High to someplace unknown.
"I think, to be an Australian male and to be seen with any kind of vulnerability is punk," Shogun told Billboard in 2015. And vulnerable they were. High wails with a heartfelt sincerity that is forgotten, forbidden lore in punk.

Adalita, 'Adalita'
Liberation Music 2011
When Magic Dirt guitarist and vocalist Adalita Srsen announced she'd be playing solo shows in 2009, it didn't take long for the news to arrive that an album would follow. Inspired to go solo on the advice of bandmate Dean Turner, the pair soon began work on what would become the rock icon's self-titled debut, with fellow Melbourne artist JP Shilo helping to round out matters in the studio. Tragically though, it would take almost two years for the record to arrive, with Turner passing away in 2009, and production halting while Magic Dirt performed shows in his honour. In early 2011 though, Adalita found its way into the world and managed to floor everyone who found themselves in its vicinity. Unlike the heavier rock numbers of Magic Dirt, Adalita was textured and haunting, devastating with its depth and dark guitarwork. While tracks such as opener "Hot Air" would invite the listener in with its melodic nature, the ethereal "Lassa Hanta" or the forceful "Goin Down" would showcase the other side of the musical spectrum. Of course, the album's most hard-hitting moment came by way of the Turner tribute, "The Repairer", complementing one of the most visceral and accomplished records of the decade.
Sia, 'We Are Born'
Monkey Puzzle Records 2010
It's wild to think Sia's We Are Born, the album that catapulted her into the world of pop and won multiple ARIA Awards, almost wasn't made. In fact, it took five years to make it happen. Despite having written countless hits for renowned pop stars, Sia's label was concerned moving away from her more downtempo R&B roots would sabotage her career. Thankfully she was determined, and in 2010 her fifth studio album was released.
Fittingly, the first single was the upbeat and exceedingly poppy "You've Changed", undoubtedly a deliberate signalling of her new career trajectory. Most of the remaining 12 tracks feature this fresh, energetic pop, with momentum propelled by the rocky guitar stylings of The Strokes' Nick Valensi. Clap-driven rhythm and catchy vocal chants are peppered throughout, bringing a jovial measure to songs like "Stop Trying" and "Bring Night". Suitably, the album cover features Sia's face covered in pipe cleaners, diamantes, and stickers—as if a child was let loose in an arts and crafts box. Lower-tempo numbers like "Be Good to Me" and "I'm in Here" offer waltzy intermissions, digging lyrically deeper, emotionally heavier, and highlighting more soulful, soaring vocals.
On We Are Born, Sia's bubbly, eclectic personality was finally allowed to shine through, unveiling an uplifting album that embodies the joy of music.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, 'Tender Prey'
Mute 1988
Sometimes, the most trying of circumstances give way to the greatest art. Tender Prey is a fine example. Nick Cave has gone on the record as describing the album as a "nightmare" to create, due to the chaos which surrounded and carried the band from Melbourne to London, and to former West Berlin for its sessions, spanning late 1987 and early 1988. Drugs were an ingredient in the chaos.
Stirred together, Tender Prey is a menace, a brew that could grow hair on your knuckles. From the opening track, "The Mercy Seat", we're invited into the mind of a brute who's considering his last moments on earth, as the executioner flicks the switch on the electric chair. The song went on to be covered by the late Johnny Cash and others, and today, this throbbing crescendo of darkness is a cornerstone of Cave's live performance. With "Deanna", Cave and co. create the closest thing to a mid-career pop song. Tender Prey is the antithesis of the Stock Aitken Waterman production-line pop that was dominating the charts at the time, and despite its nightmare origins, it'll live forever in the National Film and Sound Archive.
By Lars Brandle
AC/DC, 'Powerage'
Albert Productions 1978
There's been a crime of revisionist history when it comes to AC/DC. Yes, they are one of the best rock bands Australia has ever produced. This is indisputable. But they're also one of the finest rock'n'roll bands ever cut to wax. While that may seem like splitting hairs, Powerage proves it's something else entirely.
It's the swing in Phil Rudd's drumming that makes you want to get up and move. The "less is more" lyrical approach of each guitar solo. The cocksure bravado of it all. When's the last time a heavy rock band made songs so danceable? That's the alchemy of rock'n'roll at work.
Much has been written about AC/DC. The irony is, the music on Powerage is too visceral for critical review. Have you ever cranked "Down Payment Blues" with the windows down on a 35-degree afternoon? Felt your pulse rise as "Kicked in the Teeth" launches into overdrive? Or seen the glimmer in the eye of an old fella at the pub who tells you (over a pint, of course) what it was like to see AC/DC live back in the day? If so, you won't simply know why this album is a certified classic. You'll feel it, too.
By James Di Fabrizio
The Angels, 'Face to Face'
Despite releasing their self-titled album the year prior, it wasn't until their seminal album Face to Face in 1978 that The Angels truly wove themselves into the Australian rock music fabric.
While their 1976 single "Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again" caused rock aficionados to sit up and pay attention, their second record's singles "Comin' Down", "Take a Long Line", "Straightjacket", and "After the Rain", firmly planted them in the limelight.
On how the album's title came about, guitarist John Brewster said, "Face to Face was named because at that point in the band's career, that was our relationship with the audience. They were that close—it was a happy confrontation."
David Gleeson, who took over as frontman in 2011 after Doc Neeson left to pursue a solo career, was just 10 when he first heard Face to Face.
"I remember my brother being very excited, coming home with the cassette: we listened to it relentlessly, I idolised the band," he told The West Australian. "I grew up hearing the stories of my brothers and their friends going to see The Angels—the fighting and the drinking—and I couldn't wait to grow up and see what all the fuss was about."

Angus and Julia Stone, 'Down The Way'
EMI/Capitol Records 2010
Both accomplished musicians in their own right, when siblings Angus and Julia Stone come together there's a certain serenity in the air that can only be attained by two people who've grown up together. Hailing from Newport on Sydney's Northern Beaches, the laidback indie-folk duo have swayed between releasing solo work and albums as a pair for years.
On 2010's Down the Way, the siblings' sophomore album, the Stones take turns to front the vocals, the alternate providing harmonies, dispensing a cohesiveness across the 13 tracks. Opening track "Hold On" unveils the sultry yet delicate voice Julia is known for, but releases a newfound confidence we'd not previously seen. Each song stylistically different from the next, the siblings champion their acoustic compositions, occasionally weaving in electric guitars to bring a liveliness to the record.
After six months apart, the pair had time to figure out who they were as solo musicians and to craft their sound as a duo, bringing together a poignant album which not only cleaned up at the 2010 ARIA Awards, affording them five titles, but also led them to take out the coveted top spot on triple j's Hottest 100 countdown with hit single "Big Jet Plane", the first time a female voice had graced the number one spot in 16 years.
Silverchair, 'Young Modern'
Eleven: A Music Company 2007
The fifth and final album from Silverchair at the time, was a divisive release. Gone were the grunge-laden riffs and emotional turmoil that marked the early records which brought them global notoriety.
Revisiting this album years on from its release, Young Modern stuns in how it demonstrates Silverchair's flexibility and adaptability throughout their career.
Young Modern may often be overshadowed by the sheer impact of Frogstomp, Freak Show, Neon Ballroom, or Diorama, but for those Silverchair fans excited by the direction Daniel Johns' songwriting was heading, this was the perfect kaleidoscope of sounds and ideas.
Johns turns out some of his most confident songwriting on Young Modern and it's a joy to hear how Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou work around his ideas so well to make a cohesive and vibrant progressive pop record.
It had the commercial blockbuster ("Straight Lines"), massive production moments ("If You Keep Losing Sleep"), and boldness to veer into the expansive (the seven-and-a-half minute trilogy "Those Thieving Birds (Part 1)/Strange Behaviour/Those Thieving Birds (Part 2)").
The theatrics and drama of Diorama were finished by the time Young Modern arrived and as Silverchair's final record, it couldn't have represented the band better: always pushing themselves to explore the new.
By Sosefina Fuamoli
Bernard Fanning, 'Tea & Sympathy'
Dew Process/Universal Music Australia 2005
Powderfinger vocalist Bernard Fanning took to his debut solo album partly to prove to himself that he could actually make one away from the successful group, but also off the back of a year that saw the passing of his brother and the end of a decade-plus relationship. The band's work at the time had steered to social and political commentary, but the turmoil in Fanning's life perhaps prompted a more emotionally-rooted body of songs, recorded while the band took a hiatus. A folk-roots orientation takes precedence, from several songs recorded with producer Tchad Blake in Fanning's Leafy Bug Studio in Brisbane to the majority (also with Blake presiding) at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studio in Bath, UK. The mood is established nicely by the opener, "Thrill Is Gone", with instrumentation sounding lush yet restrained all at once. Tracks such as "Not Finished Just Yet" and "Further Down the Road" touching on Powderfinger feels, but with a gentler hand at play. "Songbird" was a well-received single, but it was the 2005 Hottest 100 topping (and school leavers' anthem for that year) "Wish You Well" that paved the way for three ARIA Awards and proof that a successful solo career awaited Fanning if he wanted. He did, and the rest is history.
By Bob Gordon
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, 'Skeleton Tree'
Bad Seed Ltd 2016
Nick Cave's Skeleton Tree is not an easy listen. Rewarding, dark, spiritual, yes. But not easy. There's no escaping the context of the art. In 2015, Cave lost his teenage son Arthur in an accident. On Skeleton Tree, released the following year, Cave is a man in pain.
If Cave never returned to music, we would have understood. Instead, he reached inside, and with Warren Ellis and his Bad Seeds collaborators, teased out the agony, snared it, recorded it. Shared it. Skeleton Tree is catharsis, an eerie window into the soul of someone who has suffered heartbreak, his trusted lieutenants at his side.
Cave's vocabulary is so vast, his storytelling so refined, he's always able to find the words.
The ethereal "Distant Sky", featuring the vocals of Danish soprano Else Torp, is closer to a hymn than a hit. If you want singles, this is not the place. Musically, Skeleton Tree is intriguing and intelligent. Loops, strings, and sweeping synths build the tension, create depth, but always sit in the background.
As an artist, Cave, now in his mid-sixties, is intimidating, the creator of a vast catalogue that includes screenplays and novels, soundtracks, and much more. On Skeleton Tree, he has never been more human.
Tash Sultana, 'Flow State'
Lonely Lands Records/Sony Music Entertainment 2018
It was important for Tash Sultana to make their first album entirely on their own. The Melbourne multi-instrumentalist wrote, produced, arranged, and performed all 15 instruments on Flow State, an outstanding body of work which only takes on greater resonance with each year that passes. Prior to the album's release, Sultana had already become a global export. Granted, they got their start busking in Melbourne with their street-stopping live-looping and powerful vocals, but thanks to a viral iPhone 4 recording from their living room in 2016, Sultana was soon crossing international borders to perform to record crowds. Sultana's technical multi-genre patchwork of psych-rock and lo-fi blues covers the masters (Erykah Badu, Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Marley, et al) with creative authority. Tracks like loose, neosoul number "Cigarettes", the ode to the death of ego in "Murder to The Mind", and the jagged acid trip "Big Smoke" all reveal Sultana's supernatural vocal and musical ability. Even the record's sweet little imperfections—an inevitable occurrence with live-looping—make Flow State all the more present. A true testament to the title of the album, Tash Sultana is so connected to their art that they have practically become it.
By Poppy Reid
Hiatus Coyote, 'Tawk Tomahawk'
Independent/Flying Buddha 2012
A post-jazz fever dream, dripping in hooks and virtuosic musicianship. But unlike the myriad acts that have been influenced by Tawk Tomahawk in the years since its ground-shaking release, Hiatus Kaiyote proved that the key to creating Australia's first classic neo-soul album in over a generation is not what's performed on top of a song. It's the arrangement and structure of the song itself.
While that may seem obvious to some, it's a fate suffered all too often in a genre where overplaying runs rampant. Hiatus Kaiyote's members are undoubtedly masters of the craft in their own right. After all, their abilities are lusted after by jazz-school nerds across the country. But it's their function as a group that makes all the difference in their beguiling debut.
The grooves are heavy enough to paralyse. The interplay between rhythm section and keys create a perfect yin-yang relationship. Throughout, Nai Palm's now-iconic vocal performance floats over the controlled chaos like a spectre. In 2013, who could have imagined "Nakamarra" would go on to become the torch song it is today? No one, perhaps, except Hiatus themselves.
The culmination of it all is nothing short of pure exhilaration. Tawk Tomahawk is the sound of a band capturing lightning in a bottle, audibly enthralled by the process.
Baby Animals, 'Baby Animals'
Imago 1991
The crushing opening blast of "Rush You" on the Baby Animals' debut album signified the overall assault this band would make on the Australian music industry—and internationally—in 1991-92. While the mid-Nineties new guard of You Am I, Spiderbait, Regurgitator, et al were still percolating in jam rooms and nascent live appearances, Baby Animals (and similarly The Screaming Jets) took the remaining Nineties rock aesthetic into a new decade. Fronted by dynamic, charismatic, and husky-voiced singer/guitarist Suze DeMarchi, the whole band was a powerhouse with lead guitarist Dave Leslie providing sizzling meat-and-potatoes riffery and the rhythm section of Eddie Parise and Frank Celenza (from Eighties pub rockers The Boys, with whom DeMarchi had previously performed with in Perth bands before a stint in the UK) as solid as any on the planet. Debut single, "Early Warning", was a barnstormer that was a hit all over radio, but subsequent singles "Painless" and "One Word" were rock ballads that revealed a softer side that proved just as popular. Huge US and European success seemed to loom, but by the time the band's second album Shaved and Dangerous was released in 1993, cracks in the band's record label Imago were beginning to show, with management issues also around the corner. This eponymous release, however, remains as one of Australian music's best ever debut albums.
Pendulum, 'Immersion'
Warner Bros Records/Ear Storm 2010
Formed in Perth as a trio of DJs after a hard-drive failure forced them to play a gig live, Pendulum was subsequently born and seemingly ready for global domination. Over the following years they relocated to the UK, released an album, and added three members to their lineup, releasing their sophomore album, In Silico, in 2008. Influenced by their experimental rock and progressive metal pasts, their venture into trance, industrial EDM, and electronic rock sets Immersion apart.
The album leans into the adrenaline-producing, genre-fusing music the DnB group are known for. Album opener "Genesis" sounds like part of a Hollywood film trailer, while "Salt in the Wounds" feels like you've been thrown into a futuristic matrix. Leading single "Watercolour" is a contender for album standout, pipped at the post by infectious "Witchcraft". As Pendulum genre-defy their way through industrial-rock sounds on "Comprachicos" and house styles on two-parter "The Island", it's the collaboration with Swedish metal outfit In Flames on "Self vs Self" that showcases how far they've pushed their sound, juxtaposing heavy guitar riffs and screaming vocals against bass-heavy electronica.
The genre-fusing innovation on Immersion alongside their production development and dedication to frenetic, bass-heavy beats, showed us just how much these Aussie expats had grown. Making it even more tragic, this album would be their last full-length release in over a decade.
Frente!, 'Marvin the Album'
The acceleration of Frente! from Melbourne indie darlings to unexpected chart stars to human punchlines was swift and brutal. Their debut is a time capsule of everything that went right, plus the three minutes that started everything going wrong. Let's tackle the elephant first: "Accidently Kelly Street" landed on the wrong side of twee for a band from the hipster Brunswick Street indie scene, but it hasn't aged terribly. Frente! were formed by one-time lovers Angie Hart and Simon Austin, whose musical partnership became more significant than their romantic one. Early single "Labour of Love" started all the fuss—just Hart's captivating voice (like Missy Higgins after her, she'd influence a generation of female singers), Austin's acoustic guitar and a recorder. "Ordinary Angels" added shiny hooks (it was a number three hit) without losing their indie quirks. Indeed, there are square-peg, folk-tinged abstract pop delights a'plenty here—the Neil Finn-esque melodies of "No Time", the regret-soaked elegance of "Pretty Friend" and Hart's solo piano powerhouse "Girl". Reissues of Marvin wisely come with their global hit from the era, a stunning cover of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle", rendered purely on acoustic guitar. There are few local bands that mastered skew-whiff pop like Frente!

Something for Kate, 'Beautiful Sharks'
Murmur 1999
Even before Something for Kate released their debut album, 1997's Elsewhere for 8 Minutes, the winds of change were in motion. With bassist Julian Carroll leaving after the record's completion, vocalist and guitarist Paul Dempsey and percussionist Clint Hyndman were in need of a new member, with Sandpit's Stephanie Ashworth stepping up to cement the now-iconic lineup. A new energy entered their ranks. The trio once again teamed up with producer Brian Paulson to craft another record, but their new effort was a little different than what they had delivered previously. While their debut featured a dense rock sound that was often evocative of names such as Fugazi, Beautiful Sharks felt luscious, welcoming, and at times, blissful. While their raw energy was on display within classic hits such as "Whatever You Want", "Electricity", and "Hallways", they toyed with tenderness and openness within their music, most notably on tracks like "Back to You", "Anchorman", or even its title track. Much like the record's title, the music was breathtaking and stunning to behold, but it still maintained the ability to bite back. Earning an ARIA nomination for their effort, the record even managed to give the group their first Top Ten placing within the charts—which they've maintained with every subsequent release. While they're a household name for most Aussie music fans these days, Beautiful Sharks was the record that helped to make it a possibility, proving that grace and potency can coexist in harmony.
The Avalanches, 'Wildflower'
Modular Recordings/Universal Music Australia 2016
One of the most daunting tasks for any artist to undertake is to follow up a sensational debut album. For a group like The Avalanches though, whose debut album was universally praised, it might have occasionally felt as though it would have been easier to remain something of a one-hit wonder than risk leaving fans unsatisfied with a lacklustre second record. Releasing Since I Left You in 2000, the next 16 years were shrouded in mystery. Sporadic live performances and updates filtered through, with rumours and unrealised release dates floating to the top, leaving many to wonder just if a new album would ever actually arrive. In 2016 though, The Avalanches returned with their first new single in 16 years, allowing "Frankie Sinatra" to prove that since they left us, they'd been hard at work on another classic. The resulting album, Wildflower, was an impeccable release which not only captured the unique energy their first record provided, but also highlighted an evolved outfit which had effectively been whittled down to just Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi in previous years. Harnessing their original sample-based approach, Wildflower was a triumph of musical mastery, with Danny Brown, MF DOOM, David Berman, and sampling trailblazer Biz Markie lending vocals that once again took fans on a kaleidoscopic musical journey. They say it's impossible to catch lightning in a bottle twice, but to The Avalanches, impossible is nothing, and Wildflower is proof.
The Mark of Cain, 'Ill at Ease'
Ra Records 1995
While Adelaide outfit The Mark of Cain might boast a sound that is hallmarked by the aggression of the alternative metal genre, their early days were spent crafting a sound that was like no other. Influenced by names like Joy Division, Big Black, and Gang of Four, The Mark of Cain felt like outliers in the music scene, with their calling card being an "intellectual take on post punk". By the mid-Nineties, brothers Kim and John Scott (along with a litany of drummers), had managed to set themselves apart thanks to a handful of records and EPs, including their 1989 debut Battlesick, and the Steve Albini-produced Incoming EP. However, it was their third album that would put them on the map. Working with Black Flag's Henry Rollins on production, 1995's Ill at Ease was an unintended commercial breakthrough for the group. Featuring their trademark frenetic energy, their angular guitarwork, shifting time signatures, militaristic lyrics, and harsh, haunting songwriting, Ill at Ease would open the group up to a wider audience. While singles such as "First Time" and the deeply personal "LMA" would illustrate what they were capable of, those who went deeper and discovered standouts such as "Interloper", "Point Man", and "The Contender" were reminded that while many bands out there might cite The Mark of Cain as an influence, they're an act that sound like nothing else you've ever heard.
RÜFÜS DU SOL, 'Bloom'
Sweat It Out! 2016
What word has five letters, begins with the letter B, and is the collective noun for jellyfish? Bloom. Flittered with underwater references alongside another distinct theme of love, RÜFÜS DU SOL's 2016 sophomore album features 11 dreamy, synth-laden house tracks. Bloom showcased appreciable growth from the Sydney trio, with their highly-anticipated second LP more than living up to the expectations set by their first.
Standout tracks come in waves, making it difficult to land on just one. From pre-released singles, ARIA Best Dance Release Award winner "You Were Right" and "Like an Animal", both unquestionable dance-floor hits; to the infectiously layered "Brighter", to the guitar-flickered "Daylight", and (as promised) the hypnotising "Hypnotised", featuring ethereal vocals from Dena Amy and providing a well-placed complement to singer Tyrone Lindqvist's smooth, indie-pop vocals.
As a flower blooms, so too does the album. The more it opens up, the more it exposes, the more beauty we get to witness. Album closer "Innerbloom" provides that full-bloom moment. Building out to a whopping 9:38 minutes, the experimental slow-burner makes clear the vision the dance act had for the album. Bringing together electronic textures, with catchy hooks, dreamy melodies, and an overall effervescent sound, the production on Bloom is flawless. With each track effortlessly flowing into the next, Bloom exerts a soothing rhythm, dripping with a smooth yet textured energy. If ever there was a party album to listen to while sailing across the Adriatic Sea, this is it.
Gang of Youths, 'Go Farther in Lightness'
Mosy Recordings 2017
When Gang of Youths closed their debut album The Positions, they were battered and broken—but one thing they weren't was entirely defeated. Right from the tender keys that opened their follow-up, Go Farther in Lightness, there exists a sense of hope that never wavers.
While the heartache and sadness is still there, Go Farther in Lightness is more concerned with what comes after. Namely, the love for life that surfaces in the aftermath of pushing through immense adversity.
A lot has changed for Gang of Youths since Go Father In Lightness was unleashed on the world—band members, their home country, record-breaking tours, international supports, Platinum sales, a mantle full of ARIA Awards—but one thing that hasn't is the defiant hope and enduring power it leaves behind.
A sprawling 77-minute opus, not for a moment were Gang of Youths afraid to sound too earnest or vulnerable. Go Father In Lightness is frontman Dave Le'aupepe embracing all the facets of his life—of the ghosts of the band's debut and those of the years since, but also the hope and love that exists around it.
In the process, Le'aupepe cemented himself as one of Australia's premier wordsmiths. Through intellectual lyricism and palpable charisma, Le'aupepe self-actualised into a magnetic conduit of euphoric stadium rock. Go Farther in Lightness became the turning point for Gang of Youths—finally proving their ilk as a band that refused to be ignored.

"STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON" by NWA
By Chace Thibodeaux on October 20, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )
This seminal rap album was released in 1988 on Ruthless Record, simultaneously ushering in an era of "gangsta rap" and the West Coast domination of hip-hop. Mostly produced by group members Dr. Dre and DJ Yella, with lyrics written by Ice Cube and MC Ren, this album hit the industry like shots from an uzi.
The album begins with the title track, featuring a relentless beat as the group ruthlessly rap about their hometown.
This insight into the violent, drug-filled, crime-ridden lifestyle of a young thug continued on songs like the controversial FUCK THA POLICE, GANGSTA GANGSTA, 8 BALL, and DOPEMAN, which are all powerful tracks.
The group gets a little less serious, and show off their rhyming skills on songs like PARENTAL DISCRETION IZ ADVISED (featuring an appearance by rapper The D.O.C.), SOMETHING LIKE THAT, COMPTON'S N THE HOUSE (REMIX)
Several rappers get their chance to shine on solo tracks, such as MC Ren on QUIET ON THA SET and IF IT AIN'T RUFF proving himself to be a highly skilled rapper, probably on par with Ice Cube, yet he always remained underrated.
Ice Cube gets his solo with I AIN'T THA 1, which is more than a little misogynistic but it's also humorous. And Dr. Dre gets the uptempo EXPRESS YOURSELF.
The final track is the only one that doesn't really fit on this album. SOMETHING 2 DANCE 2 is a dance track, performed with Arabian Prince who was an original member of the group (and appears on the cover) but dropped out before the rest of the album was finished).
A reissue of this album contained the bonus track a A BITCH IZ A BITCH
The production on this album is brilliant, showing the genius that Dr. Dre would later become known for. The lyrics are uncompromising, explicit, vulgar, disturbing, creative and, above all, compelling. This is one of the greatest rap albums ever. Chacebook rating: FIVE STARS
Tagged as: Arabian Prince, D.J. Yella, Dr. Dre, Eazy E, Gangsta rap, Ice Cube, M.C. Ren, Niggas With Attitudes, NWA, Ruthless Records, Straight Outta Compton, west coast rap

dad, eating, family, fish, fishing, flash, flash fiction, knife, Matt Fallaize, memory, micro fiction, short stories, short story, vss
by Matt Fallaize
It was where to start, that was the question. Dr Chen said it was important to focus on good memories. In his low, calm voice he would say hold on to the moment, remember the moment, explore the moment.
He remembered how his Dad would gut the fish he'd brought back from the day boats. A long incision from just under the head, a livid line to the tail, before he'd work his fingers inside and pull out the sacks of guts. He remembered watching them spill into the sink, dragged from the mackerel, still stiff, iridescent.
Dad would rise early in the morning, so early it was still the night before, and leave the house soundlessly. He remembered waking, sensing the difference in the house, he remembered looking out of the window, watching the light of Dad's torch bobbing gently down the lane to the harbour. He'd return late morning or early afternoon, with carrier bags full of fish. Pouting, mackerel, scad, saithe. Dad called the pouting "pop-eyes", their eyes couldn't survive the change in pressure, and would burst as they were hauled up.
He rolled the names around, felt them on his tongue. Scad. Saithe.
Dad had two knives he used for the gutting and filleting, one short, wide bladed knife that looked ancient. He'd told him once that it was a Viking knife that he'd found up on the Down, in the fields by the Barrow, and he could well believe him, he'd found a coin there once, himself; the blade of this knife was pitted and the handle thick with wrapped round cloth. The other knife was long, thin and needle sharp, it was this knife that would dance down the spine of the fish, easing it neatly into fillets which would then be floured and fried, and served with toast and squeezes of lemon juice.
He remembered watching his father prepare the fish, and that was a good memory, so he held onto it. He remembered eating the fish, and that was a good memory, so he held onto that, too. The crisp skin, the unbearable sweetness of the flesh. But he couldn't remember the part in between.
Try as he might, he couldn't remember his Mum, even though it must have been her that fried the fish, who squeezed the juice, who toasted the toast. She would have gone about her business quietly, and with infinite care, but he couldn't remember her doing it. There was an absence in the memory, he felt it like a hole in a tooth.
Like the cavity where the mackerel's guts used to be. There was nothing between watching his Dad quickly and precisely work through the fish, and then the eating of the fish, the floods of sunlight on the lunch table. She wasn't there. She'd been cut out, incised neatly, and sharply, as if by a knife.
