Wednesday 21st – 28th December
Christmas has snuck up on us like a thief in the night, and all the parties have hit us like a S.W.A.T. team with a tip-off. Added to the persistent hang-overs it would seem that the world may well have gone mad, with riots in Sydney, Bad Santas in New Zealand, the Bird Flu on our doorstep and John Farnham doing yet another tour.
Melbourne, despite the surrounding drama, has been relatively untouched by the bad juju of the past month. Maybe it is because we have better things to focus our attention on. We have galleries and movies instead of racial hatred, great shops and xmas presents instead of anti-consumerist grudges, books and cafés instead of epidemics and great music instead of John Farnham.

Thankyou to all those who joined in the fun at our Xmas party, we hope you were as sore as we were the next day. Also, ThreeThousand is having a holiday, relaxin’, maxin’, sippin’ on gin and juice and will return bright eyed and bushy tailed on the 11th January.
Issue 036 - Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

Do Melbourne ladies dream of brilliant, bold, and unfathomably fabulous clothes, jewellery and accessories? Of course they do. And, it seems, many a Melbourne dame’s dream has become a reality, in the form of the delightfully chic Milly Sleeping.
The brainchild of mother and daughter turbo-team Janette and Leah, Milly Sleeping has only been open a wee while, but has already brought to the forefront of Melbourne fashion a gaggle of emerging designers including Sydney’s Ed & Bek, and Lonely Hearts Club from New Zealand.
Also, Ess-Hoshika Laboratory 'Collecting Atmosphere' range is fantastically modern with billowing hemlines and neat tailoring. For something really exclusive, get your hot little hands on a VON piece – Milly Sleeping is the only place you'll find this Melbourne duo’s one-off experimental designs, and they’re worth it for the kooky rag-doll tag alone.
Also, be sure to grab a look-see of Romance Was Born, 'transeasonal stagewear for the street' – their current collection tells the story of an Indian princess who is swept off her feet by a circus clown. Ah, it’s positively dreamy. |

A glance at the Everything Ecstatic cover art might make us think that Four Tet has suffered from an Art Attack. Whether or not blip-wizard Kieran Hebden did get down and dirty with some acrylic paint, however, is irrelevant – Everything Ecstatic is an album much more challenging than turning your name into a neon sign but every bit as ace.
With sounds that scooter around from hip-hop to trip-hop and covering breaks and solid beats in between, Everything Ecstatic allows us to feel like a sonic tourist and an electro connoisseur all at once.
Sun Drums and Soil has rolling beats glittered with blips and late-night cop show sax that are, when combined, much more beautiful than the cast of NYPD Blue. Turtle Up Turtle Up is intelligently erratic, and sways from neurotic drums to tripped-out beats and eventually back to an electronic fanfare, while the space rock guitar and jazz drums on A Joy go at it with one another to form an experimental clashing of sounds.
But it is Smile Around the Face, with its carousel-like charm, rolling tripped-up breaks, and blippy electro cascades that shines brighter than a neon sign or album cover ever could. |

Bad taste never goes out of fashion. How do we know? Because The Hopetoun Tea Rooms have been around since 1892. Charming & elegant to an unearthly few (the usual silver-haired clientele), the décor is sickly sweet - suffocating spinach-coloured floral wallpaper, matching carpet, and a floor-to-ceiling neo-classical mirror complete with columns and cupids - this is Victorian splendour at its most decadent. If the visuals don’t leave you with a sour taste in your mouth, then the Virginia ham, Camembert cheese, cantaloupe & fruit chutney 4-point sanga will.
Our advice is don’t swear, and stick to the basics, scones with jam and cream, vanilla slice, lamingtons and a cup of Earl Grey to wash it all down. Pinkies raised, of course. |
