there’s so many bigger things at hand !!! lead with love in everything you do !!!! build and nurture community !!!! learn and grow with your seasons !! trust in the cosmos (but don’t be passive to it)
sunsoaked palms skin on skin
bedwarm chests morning heat
cursing the slow rush of time
rivercold kisses sunscreen lips
thoughts slick on this rock edge
where we sit with overhanging toes in
cold moving laughing waters
cicadas ring in my ear
@thejunglegiants upcoming album, Experiencing Feelings of Joy, took Sam Hales five years to make. Double his usual pace.
The music, which had always come freely across 15 years and two bands and eight albums, stopped.
“So much growth went into this record.” he tells me.
For those of us who’ve been along for the ride since we were 13 years old, still here at 26 and still looking for and cultivating joy wherever we can find it, this record feels like a particular gift.

i love Dennis and i think i want to cut a bob and go look at the moon right now it is luminescent and i can feel my whole identity and lifepath changing yet ive never felt more me is this being 26 ? otis, iris there’s just this local graffiti artist who had an affinity with trout i love seeing people i love brought together and i will because i have it in me and i will not hold back my love what kind of life is that ? love should pour shared and shown and i can’t wait to be 30 and 60 and 80 but please slow down and take a breath here and go look at the moon one of the craters looks like a bunny i was born year of the hare and now i am here, too and these are the rambles in my morning pages
letting yourself feel through the spectrum of human emotion and moving through divine lessons with grace is heavy work sometimes but bby growth and change are non negotiable (and inevitable) so sit with it and refocus on the moments of beauty within it all !!! tell the people you love, that you love them !! lean in !!
‘Oh! That’s a pile of shit’: Matt Corby has never been more honest, or more exciting
My interview with @mattcorby for @beatmagazine is live at beat.com.au 🔗
a summer friday evenin’ with pleasant weekend plans ahead is the sweetest i am so thankful for friends ! and community and growth and joy and understanding and stone fruit and sun-dried tomatoes and the warmth of the sun and living so close to people i love and grilled zucchini and embracing bodies <3
( the privilege of this doesn’t go unacknowledged, you have to continue to look for and cultivate love despite it all. advocacy, change, pain and love can exist all at once ! )
Back in August I did a review of @thepreatures live at Northcote Theatre for @beatmagazine ☆★
The live recording of that show has now been turned into a limited edition double LP Blue Planet Eyes Live!
On Friday night, I interviewed the electric Aussie rockers, filmed at @thecroxtonbandroom , ahead of their final headline show of the 10th anniversary tour for Blue Planet Eyes.

They just played their first gig back, at Nighthawks with @g.u.n____ , @npcede and @raindogs._ , and are gearing up for an EP launch show at @thecurtin on November 21 (where I’ll be sitting down with them for a pre-show chat).
My full look at the new EP, released last week, plus my interview with the principal creative force behind the exciting ‘new’ Naarm / Melbourne outfit, is up now on beat.com.au 🔗
They’ve been around for two years, I’ve only just arrived in Melbourne (though I’ve been working here for six months) but even still - let me introduce you to Dumbhead.
