Sonic Masala: a music blog unearthing unheard of gems
Reader Find
Want a middleman to seek out all the music you never have time to take the time risk to randomly click and listen for yourself on Youtube? I found one.

New art by Brisbane’s Luisa Rositto
Reader Find
I just got word that Brisbane artist Luisa Rossitto has started working on new work for an upcoming show at Melbourne’s Helen Gory Galerie. Please mark your diary for this one: August 15.

Add to that a never-ending supply of coffee and grazing snacks and you have yourself the perfect place to get your work done.
