Whitley

I caught Melbourne-based folk singer Whitley play in Sydney recently, and his voice and amicable stage presence captured the hearts of The Vanguard’s audience. With his friend Josh Pyke watching from the sound desk, Whitley showed a confidence and ability well beyond his 22 years. His song, I Remember [above], is particularly memorable. Who said that folk music was a dying art?

Check out our sister site, My Secret Playlist, where our favorite musicians and DJs write about the music that's inspiring them right now.

Kim Cogan is a dude. See, in Asia, surnames come first. Kim was born in Korea. Therefore, Kim is his family name. Kim makes panoramic paintings of city skylines. We sure do love skylines.

If ever there were an apt description of our time, it would be that we are the ‘mobile generation’, in every sense of the word. We are a people of movers, we are offered choice on so many levels. And, in this way, we are far removed — both in ideology and practice — from those generations before us, who were generally more static and certainly less transitory. Read more

Car from made ice

Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.
