Ben Frost, Sydney’s most cherished paste-up artist, is unleashing a new exhibit down under for the first time in three years; and I’m very excited. Lost in the Supermarket, a reference to The Clash song, sees Frost cleverly lampooning our advertising obsessed society by boldly juxtaposing brands, identities and social demands. Catch it at Redfern’s Boutwell Draper Gallery from November 26 through to December 17.

The first album released by the Malian duo Amadou & Mariam, Dimanche a Bamako, bordered on exceptional, if not for its songwriting then for its sheer diversity. You’d be forgiven for approaching cautiously an album that draws its influences from Syria, Cuba, Egypt, India, and Colombia, as well as its own country – much like a restaurant that offers every cuisine on the planet: choose one and do it well, you’d argue.
