FourThousand is a weekly snapshot of Brisbane's subculture - a Brisbane guide to film, music, design, books, art, goods and links for people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. Below you will find the latest additions to our Brisbane guide.
Sick of prematurely melting like a Drumstick in the heat? Solution = head to a poolside, musical inner city oasis for the last instalment of Soggy Saturdays (previously Soggy Sundays).

If birds of a feather flock together, then birds who wear House of Emily are the complete opposite. When all the other birds are flying north, they're flying south. They're sleeping in instead of chirping early and when all the other birds are laying eggs, they're like ‘screw this, I'm going to find me a sexy eagle and then go to the beach and eat hot chips.
As throwaway consumerism continues to fall short, many savvy folks are turning back to the trusty ole art of ‘mend and make do' to keep their purchases kicking longer.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to tell you about music via a flashing computer screen.
