Rambling and blogging for over 8 years, from good food and drink around town, eclectic electronic music, absolutely anything to do with digital media, throw some sport (more than likely cricket) in and the odd personal experience — as seen through my viewfinder.

This is what happens when you drop out of school early kids! Here’s MC Steve from Sheffield, and his audition for X-Factor.
“I’d love to have the hip-hop lifestyle. The biatches, pimped-up rides, bling, cars, hotels, free booze…” he says with a level of cockyness that surpasses P. Diddy and John Steffensen, but doesn’t have the talent to back it up. Respect? I think not.
One of my favourite musicians, Daniel Bell, one of the forefeathers of minimal techno and composer of some of my favourite cuts under the DBX monicker including “Losing Control”, “Phreak” and “Electric Shock” and the wonderful Elevate guise on Harmonie Park is featured in Resident Advisor this week.
“Music has been a part of my life for 20 years,” he says. “I think as it’s maturing, it’s become even more inspirational, because there’s space for everything new. In previous years, there was always one sound that was really dominant. It was really hard to find space. But in the last couple years, it’s really opened up, and there’s lots of space for all the different approaches to this music. To me, it’s definitely as important as ever. Absolutely.”

It’s never fun calling dad after crashing his car - but when you’ve just wrecked his prized Ferrari you can bet you’re in for an earful.
A Melbourne man had to make that call on Saturday night after destroying the front-end of his father’s Italian Stallion in a smash near Rod Laver Arena.
