Being young in the 90s and a film buff, I’m a massive David Lynch fan and have watched most of his movies (including Eraserhead which I saw at the Old Dendy back in the day when it was a cool, studenty cinema which you had to walk up a dark, unpopulated street to get to, and[read more…]
I love love LOVE Annie, she’s awesome. She was a great inspiration to me as a kid (remember Sisters Are Doin It For Themselves with Aretha?). Little Bird is one of those brilliant yet underplayed songs from the 90s. Image of Annie via: Billboard
Does anyone remember this late 90s show? It was way ahead of its time, yet seriously underrated, which is probably why it only ever lasted one season. I love revisiting old shows and watching this now makes me realise how funny and heart warming, yet dark it was.

Oh yeah the 90s. The time I went to uni, backpacked overseas to the US, London and Europe, shared old Queenslanders with countless housemates, partied like it was 1999 and was part of the 18-25 demographic. In the 90s People were eating: Thai food was the food to eat out in Australia. In honour of the[read more…]
I don’t think there’s any movie quite as inspirational or entertaining as a classic road movie. There’s a little bit of tough guy, underdog hero, on-the-run, camaraderie in the face of adversity in all of us. Here are my personal favourites which unintentionally happen to be from 5 different decades: 1. Thelma and Louise I saw this 1991 movie about female solidarity[read more…]
