You Should Be Into This: 5 for 5
PERSON: Public, not private This may be a bit anti You should Be Into This, but so be it. This month you should be into not being into the real lives of people you admire. By this I mean enjoy their art, their words, their buildings, their feats, but leave it there. I know its [...]
You Should Be Into This
You should be into award winners. Those silent giants amongst us who reap accolades from even the hardest and most cynical of judges. One such case would be that of Master Mouse’s favourite The Ambeli restaurant in Wellington. This small, secluded, yet warm and intimate environment on Majoribanks St, in the neighbourly quarter of Wellington’s [...]
You Should Be Into This
So I don’t like much music, no that’s wrong, I’m just lazy and I don’t know how to find good music, so I end up listening to old favourites and classical music. A few years ago, a guy told me I’d like Arcade Fire. I like when “some” people do this, when they exert their [...]

You Should Be Into This: 5 for 5 – August 2010
BOOK: Picnic at Hanging Rock My two favourite films of all time are “The Proposition” written by Nick Cave and Directed by John Hillcoat and “Picnic at Hanging Rock” Directed by Peter Weir and based on the book of the same name by Joan Lindsey. This second film captures what I think the eeriness and [...]
You Should Be Into This
C’mon now. Your sleazy Australasian thriftiness needs to be crushed in a wash of feel good retail plastic burning! I am a consumer, a good one, in fact I regard myself as a consumable! Buy me, use me up and spit me out! I know this is rather random and flippant but I’m talking about [...]
