Move.meant is a true Cali hip-hop group. Composed of three members from Sonoma State University, we are in California country. They bring a fresh breeze to this gender of music. Their single Higher is an amazing source of inspiration with a laid back feel, in tune with California lifestyle. On a musical level, it is well recorded and mastered with a cool undertone. We should all take note and spread the video. The art director Todd Angkasuwan delivers. The video is clean, CRISP, showing ‘style’ in Los Angeles. Colours are saturated and real. Inline with a new elegance that is key to upcoming trends. All waiting for upcoming releases. This is a must have.

After strolling through The Fillmore in San Francisco, you may end up at the bottom of the Golden Gate Bridge, which is where you can check out an exhibition of Vivienne Westwood clothing being held at the De Young center. It encompasses 30 years of her designs including the infamous The Queen With Safety Pins t-shirt as worn by The Sex Pistols. Also featured is a history of corsets, part of a dialogue between the innerwear coming out and turning outerwear. Ah, the mysteries and vagaries of fashion. This is all a very interesting and revealing exhibition.

Charmaine Olivia’s paintings speak to us in a voice that is tinged with the rhythms of an Oedipus Complex. The voice often comes from a young female subject whose intent is uncertain in nature, creating a desire in the viewer which follows us long after we’ve left earshot of the subject’s enticing voice and undeniable gaze.

It’s pretty bold to release a 25 track double CD as your first album, but singer-songwriter Benji Hughes doesn’t care. Themes of love and heartbreak run though the album and his folk-tinged pop draws comparisons to Beck, The Eels and The Magnetic Fields. [portrait by Vanessa Prager]
