What:
Mountain Fold Music Journal

Who:
Edited by Douglas Lance Gibson

Where:
The Outpost

How much:
Free!

It's nice to read something that you can hold in your hands; a tangible object to keep and savour rather than a quick snippet found on the net (ahem). It's extra nice if that object happens to be full of interviews, art and ideas from some of the most interesting musicians around. And it's super-brilliant if it happens to be printed on beautiful stock and cost you absolutely nothing. Mountain Fold Music Journal, the brainchild of Sydney music lover Douglas Gibson, is just such an object.

Issue one includes interviews with Beaches, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Fabulous Diamonds, Naked On The Vague, Songs and Michael Rother. It also includes a cover by Stefan Marx and a double page spread curated by each musician, showcasing their art, photography, writing and more. The independent journal is only published quarterly, so tear your eyes away from this darn snippet and go get one.

Blundstone Boots

Blundstone boots are part of the Australian silhouette! To be honest, they are also a key part of Antipodium's charm and have saved us from some serious...

Voyager

This is just simplistic, puerile semi-catchy dance pop with some spacey nu-rave touches. Now I'm not a complete snob who thinks that every band should...
