• Volatile Quartets

    From Metafilter I discovered this long retrospective on the Breeders and consequently went down a rabbit hole reading about the lineage from Throwing Muses to the Pixies to the Breeders and then Belly. I was a latecomer to these groups, getting first into the Breeders thanks to Last Splash and then moving on to Belly. I can remember driving home with my sister after high school tennis practice, belting out Belly’s King along to my car’s crappy cassette player…

    We headed to the city this lovely afternoon to see @bellshakespeare’s production of King Lear. It was unadorned but beautiful. (I’ll always feel at home in a black box theatre. ❤️) Afterwards we walked around to Circular Quay for the Bastille Festival and battled the crowds for saucisson and cheese… 🇫🇷 🧀

    Week 18: Cabinetry! All the wardrobes and drawers and shelves have arrived, and a team is onsite for installation. The roll-up screen door is also going in today. Skirting boards are in too. I also got a photo of the little curved ceiling bulkhead detail that will mirror the floating shelf below the TV. And check out the huge tile our builder scored for the front entry! #renovation 🏠

    This morning we headed down to the @sydneyoperahouse to see @shakeandstir’s production of “James and the Giant Peach.” I really liked their take on it! They modernised a few things (Aunt Sponge wearing Crocs is inspired costume design) and excised a couple characters (vale Ladybug and Silkworm!), but they kept the weirder bits of Dahl’s story without sanding it down too much. I also thought the use of the rotating stage with animated projections and multiple trap doors was genius, and it’s probably the only way you could bring a story like this to life. We also visited the fat sea lion sunbathing on the steps outside, and we had lunch at @a.p.bread in the city. Lovely day. ❤️🍑

  • The Breeders in Big Sur

    A lovely little video of the Breeders performing some of my favorite songs – mostly acoustically – among the redwoods in Big Sur.

    Still can’t believe I sold them craft supplies 14 years ago without realising who they were. 😂

    Week 17: The floor is finished, and now the walls are being primed and sanded for painting! Soon the skirting boards will go in, and the cabinetry build will kick off. New door hardware is in, and the wooden reveals around the windows. And in the most exciting news, the fancy Japanese toilet has arrived. 😂🚽 #renovation 🏠

    My first meetup in ages! I went along to @projectf_au to hear my friend Roisin present, and to catch up with @emmsastagram (who claims that the quote on her shirt is FROM ME?!). ❤️

    I went to the Craft and Quilt Fair looking for inspiration, and I found myself drawn to works filled with women’s grief and rage. Amazing stuff. 😡❤️🧵🪡
