The Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank is on offer from Amazon for only US$19,995 and for this you are guaranteed a ‘completely unique’ battle vehicle with a ‘cozy’ carpeted interior and room for up to five people. Unfortunately, it only tops speeds of 40mph and is not registered for use on public roads, which is a shame as I’d love to rock up to work in one of these babies.

You know that band you’ve always wanted to form, the one with the little-girl-lost singer with the mischevious eyes and the propulsive beats that drive bass hooks so catchy you want to bottle them up and sell them to Sting? That’s right, that fictional band that lingers just that little deeper in your imagination every time you saunter down Bedford Avenue, surrounded by girls in neon tights and guys in ruffed up converse. You know the one? Well, guess what, you’re too late. It’s arrived. It’s French. And it’s so damn good.

Kate Banazi’s silkscreen artwork

A three-lettered ‘wow’ explodes in my mind whenever I look at the work of Sydney-based silkscreen artist Kate Banazi. Her latest work is fantastically dynamic, stylistic and abstract, making clever use of colour-bomb palettes. Read more
