Review – LABJACD with DJ Dexter

2 Comments

Tonight was the Opening Night of the Perth International Arts Festival’s contemporary music program, this year at Beck’s Music Box on the Esplanade. The venue was great. Bigger than last year’s Verandah at the Perth Concert Hall – or at least it felt bigger. I did like the intimate atmosphere of the Verandah, but sitting back in the balmy night, the city lights of Perth twinkling overhead, under the stars in a music charged atmosphere of hip-hop salsa – I couldn’t fault the new venue.

LABJACD

Yes it was a bit of a fag to walk around the venue to the front over the grass in my killer heels, and you need to get there early to secure a perch on the soft comfy couches – the food is a little ordinary – hotdogs and chips – okay so upmarket versions – but all in all – a pretty good place to be on a Saturday night.

Musicians from Melbourne’s best salsa, jazz, funk and Cuban big bands come together in LABJACD – a dynamic nine-piece band who mix up hip-hop, Cuban salsa, jazz and Andean folk music.

Combining extensive musical expertise with their Chilean heritage, LABJACD are equally at home alongside Australia’s premier hip-hop groups as among some of the best world music artists from around the globe.

How the USA is different to Australia

Apart from having “real” lemonade instead of Sprite lemonade – how I miss it! – the other obvious difference between the USA and Australia as viewed from the road is the preponderance of water tanks – often brightly coloured.

Here are some of the ones we passed on our recent trip. I think they’re kinda kooky. They also reminded me of the tripods in War of the Worlds – maybe that’s where H.G. Wells got his inspiration? I’m a genius!

My totally gorgeous brother

New York

This is my brother and I in New York at about 1am on the 1st January 2008. We’d just tried to get to see the 100th anniversary of the ball drop in Times Square. We didn’t get anywhere near it.

On the way back to the car and in preparation for the three hour drive home we had a coffee and wee stop. My brother picked up a bar of dark chocolate and paid $US10. Sure he could have put it down again but he saw *that look* on my face. You know, the ohhhh chocolate look. Sweet.

And did I remember his birthday the other day? The birthday of my baby brother? A chocolate giver?

Petrichorically speaking…

A withered leafIt’s hot in Perth today. Sticky, muggy, please will you just rain and get it over with, kind of hot. And we don’t have air-conditioning except for the bedroom and my computer where I have been working from home at is not in the bedroom.

I’m at home because my daughter, due to start school today at a brand new school, is sick. Was sick. Was sick with fear I think and worked herself into a knot creating a fever, headache and vomiting. She didn’t sleep last night with these symptoms and so today, reluctantly, I let her stay home.

Anyway she’s going tomorrow and in bed early tonight.

Ah thunderstorms! But they are not making things any cooler. A few spots of rain have fallen and dried before they hit the ground, baking hot after a week of stinking +35C days. (hence my title – thanks to Loz)

How to know if you’re a good mother

13 Comments

Boy in a backpackWhen I was a first-time mum at home with a new bub I was adrift. I’d gone from a full-time full-on job with lots of contact with other people to – well – nothing. I was the first of my set to have a baby, my husband worked full time, I didn’t have a lot of contact with my neighbours. I was, in short, lonely.

How lonely?

I went to the health nurse every week, religiously. Even though my baby was perfectly healthy. Even though I had no problems looking after him, the breastfeeding happened.

I only stopped when she kindly said one day “You know, you don’t have to come every week. You’re doing a good job.”

That day as I walked back home pushing my son in his stroller, I reflected on how dependant I’d become on this regular weekly outing. How much I needed an independent witness to my motherhood. How much I needed that witness to tell me I was doing a good job.

An Get More Information levitra wholesale individual must store the pill well to avoid wastage.
I hadn’t had any contact with babies before apart from fleeting glimpses of other people’s babes. I wasn’t the maternal type. I didn’t yearn to pick up and cuddle them. I was the type of person who handed the baby back or on at the earliest opportunity and now here I was the 24/7 carer of this little human unit.

With no frame of reference – how was I to know if he was okay? If I was okay? If I was a good mother?

A fine womanI owe this child nurse a great deal.

Happily last year I met her again. She’s retired now. I wished I’d had my little baby with me to show her that he survived into teenagerhood. But of course there was no need. She had enough faith in me to know he’d be okay.

Film

The Other Boleyn Girl

One of the great things about my job is I get to go to the occassional movie preview. Today as The Police warmed up at the Members Equity stadium nearby, I and a few privileged others – about eight of us in all – were invited to The Jaffa Room. It’s a bit like an oversized home theatre room, but with a proper projector and real films, not dvds, being shown. We knew it was film because a light broke and we had to restart the film and then when the reels were changed had to wait for them to change the film on the projector.

You feel special.

The film was one I have been looking forward to: The Other Boleyn Girl adapted from the book by Philippa Gregory.

If you haven’t read the book – and I do recommend it – this is the story of two sisters. Both desired by the King of England. Both desiring him… but for different reasons, one for love, the other for power. This is at a time when the King is at his prime. Masculine, sexy, handsome, young… well in his mid 30s anyway. His queen – played brilliantly by Ana Torrent – is aging – she’s slightly older than the king but worn out through multiple miscarriages and still births. The King’s eye is set to wander.

It’s a story of how young women are manipulated through marriage and sex for the advancement of families.

Sisterly rivalry.

Betrayal.

I liked the way Eric Bana plays King Henry: bold, brooding, sometimes petulant, completely entranced and yes sexy.

Scarlett Johannsen is perfect as the younger sister Mary – just 14 when she first comes to court to be offered up to the king.

And Natalie Portman is stunning in her bitchy, scheming, frightened, unravelled girl-queen.

When this comes out late February – if you like historical films at all – it is worth a look.

King Henry does not come out of it well.
