Kodak Junior Six-20 Series II. Thanks Mum.

Mum pulled this nifty little classic Kodak Kodon camera from her glory box the other day. I researched and apparently it dates to about 1937-1940. I am keen to find 620 film to test it out- hopefully ebay will provide!

Here's some more photography by me.

St Vincent:: "Actor"

When St. Vincent aka. Annie Clark, released her first album 'Marry me', I was hooked, listening to 'Paris is Burning', 'Now, Now' and 'Jesus Saves, I Spend' on repeat, over and over again. Now the time has come to be addicted once more. Her new album 'Actor' was released on May, 5. 

I can't wait until she returns to Brisbane, not as part of Sufjan Stevens' band, but as a soloist, singing her own uniquely crafted songs.

I give the album 4 out of 5, losing one point only because I feel I haven't listened to the album quite enough to warrant a 5/5 rating.

Reggie Watts @ the Brisbane Powerhouse

I saw Reggie Watts at work last night and I am a little divided over whether I can honestly say I liked it. Reggie Watts is a Seattle based entertainer who performs music, theater, dance, and comedy assisted by a loop machine.

"In his unique sets, Reggie's subjects range from ancient history, technology, magic, spirit elves, dragons, mythology and theology to pop culture. The music incorporates hip-hop, trip-hop, 80's pop alternative, nu-metal and classical opera, no two songs are ever the same. Reggie loves to disorientate and confuse people in the most entertaining way"

The gig was good but it could have been excellent. The main thing for me was that once he got a good beat box rhythm going on the loop machine he would stop/crack a joke. He didn't build on each song enough. 

The best song of his is one that he insisted was written whilst under the influence of cold and flu medication and weed. Clearly he should use this combination as his muse for all his 

songs. 

I would give his show a 3/5.

The most amazing people in the world. part 1.
