Nice band alert! Belle and Sebastian’s Perth gig was cancelled tonight because their gear didn’t make it over from Queensland. So they invited fans down to Langley Park to say hello and play a few tunes. (Not my photo btw)

Just a few hours left to back Perth-based Simon Miraudo’s upcoming book, Last Rites for Lost Films. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sim... I’ve just started reading Simon’s previous book, Book of the Banned, and I love his writing style. It’s knowledgable and also very human and fun to read.

One of the highlights of my trip to Japan was going to Magayura in Noda. Five hours of amazing, weird, experimental music and performances. Loved that I had a clear view out to the train platform - people just going about their lives - while all this weird shit was happening in this little room.

Wandering around Northbridge I stumbled across the new-to-me secondhand bookstore, Mainly Books. Fantastic range and super chill and relaxed vibe. Forced myself to stop at seven. www.mainlybooks.com.au/index.php

I was surprised at how few KR films I'd seen before 2025 - ended up watching six of them

Discover a singer on Wednesday. Go to their show on Thursday. Get blown away. That's how I got into Ruby Gill. Excellent stage presence - full of humour and stillness.

Why is Applecross so unfriendly to pedestrians? No footpaths on the residential streets? How is that not against the law?

I like the red tendrils, but it's the little reverse pagoda on the inside that I love about this.

Definitely not my favourite sign.
A raised pathway over some wetlands. Beside the path is a sign warning of snakes in the area.
