Ruby’s Tuesday Boutique Letterpress
After researching and planning for a couple of years, my partner Claire and I bought a 1960 Heidelberg Windmill, had it reconditioned and started to learn the trade from our home studio in Thirroul, learning from eccentric retired printers with each step. Our first project was a wedding invitation set: a very fun (and at times frustrating) combination of patience and payoff.

The Rural Alberta Advantage: Stamp
Heartfelt and sparse, the Rural Alberta Advantage draw you closer with each new track. They come across almost naked in their earnestness, but there’s something almost majestic in the way the songs are built: inventive drumming, quirky instrumentation and wistful singing from the trio combining powerfully over each album. Listen to Stamp [above] to hear them at their most forceful.
So simple. So cool. Artists are commissioned to provide two-colour illustrations that are printed on a Vandercook press, sent out as letter-pressed greeting cards, then can be flipped and folded to produce a matted artwork print ready for framing. Making a great idea pure brilliance are the tasty illustrations in the first half a dozen.
Unfortunately, I do not live in the state of Washington. But I don’t have to in order to enjoy this great idea from local distillers Woodinville Whiskey: a complete kit that will age their small batch whiskey in your own private barrel and ships worldwide. Hands up if you knew un-aged whiskey was clear?

Casio Keyboard Brooklyn trio Au Revoir Simone are about to release a collection of remixes and covers their musical friends have recorded of songs found on their second album, The Bird Of Music. Titled Reverse Migration, the record features re-workings by Best Fwends, Teenagers, Darkel, and more. We caught up with them recently. Why and when did you decide to release a remix album? Annie: ‘Our friends were making so many wonderful versions of our songs we wanted to share them with the world’. How did you select the artists? Annie: ‘Mostly they were friends who told us they wanted to do remixes! Very fun and easy’. Reverse Migration is out November 11 through the band’s own label, Our Secret Record Company. Listen to Ruff & Jam by Au Revoir Simone.
