New interview for
@beatmagazine has shaken off the festival hangover and is up and about!
Eternal gratitude and infinite cigarette loop to Jim Knox. I am so grateful for your generosity: paracetamols to revive me through the long festival nights, chinottos, flyers, pistachios, pasta, griel marcus’ ‘lipstick traces: a secret history of the 20th century’ (phil brophy’s favourite book I am told), the sunday painters, the slugfuckers, the data stick full of brain-busting movies, and most valuable of all, your time. Thank you for letting me into your world and allowing me to archive it. Such a pleasure to document and chat to such an understated figure in the Australian cultural landscape.
Writing this piece was an absolute delight — especially because it meant i got to share so much of the experience with those i have long cherished in my life. I raise my boot to the following:

Having the opportunity to interview at golden plains was (excuse my language) fucking AWESOME. They’re the best festivals this country has got. I’m still dancing about!
