Wednesday 31st January – 7th February
Although our knowledge of ancient mythology doesn’t extend much further than Xena Warrior Princess, we would like to take a moment to think about the Roman Goddess of luck, Fortuna. Often depicted with bling in her arms and a hand on the ‘rudder’ of the world, like Martha Stewart this lady reminds us that everything good can come crashing down, and everything bad can take a turn for the better. So although we have begun this issue with some poor wikipedia research and an insulting use of history, hopefully you can use the rest of it to steer yourself through the potential dangers of the week ahead. Issue 090 features Ed Templeton, Aaron Rose, and Brendan Fowler’s ANP Quarterly No. 5, Jim Jarmusch’s quirky classic Ghost Dog and 70’s proto-punk band The Thought Criminals who are providing an ‘after’ for those that may have missed the ‘before’. We also feature James Cameron’s new store, jewellery from Pseudo Republic, Refused’s album The Shape Of Punk To Come and the usual array of gigs in our OUT section. Oh, Fortuna!

It’s hard to believe that something this good could cost only $3*, and it’s even harder to believe that it’s usually free. Supported by forward thinking clothing company RVCA, ANP Quarterly is run by skater, artist and Toy Machine founder Ed Templeton, former Alleged Gallery curator and Beautiful Losers visionary Aaron Rose and musician and all-round-talented-guy Brendan Fowler form Barr.
ANP Quarterly No. 5 features a lengthy and intimate conversation between Le Tigre’s JD Samson and writer and artist Emily Roysdon, an insight into how to convert your car from petrol to vegetable oil as well as many other photographic, illustrative and textual insights. The aim of the publication is to make content that is both accessible financially and stimulating intellectually, and while that sentiment might make you all warm and fuzzy on the inside the articles should also make you clearer in the mind.
* 'ANP Quarterly' is usually free, but locally can be found for $3 to cover shipping costs. If you really don't want to miss an issue then we recommend that you subscribe online.

It’s no secret that women are privileged when it comes to creative fashion choices. The dress, the skirt, the blouse are delights rarely sampled by men. But then menswear designers like James Cameron come along making women wish away their best dress to for a pair of his soft jeans or tailored shirt.
One of the founders of Marais and retail face of Chiodo, Cameron set up his Oliver Lane studio three weeks ago, filled it with his latest men’s collection, then lost it all in a smash and grab burglary last weekend.
The damn thieves must have taste. Cameron’s pieces are both intricately tailored and essentially wearable. But the jackets with patchwork elbows, shirts with pocket detail and denim line can be tried on first hand when then store reopens this Thursday. In the meantime, if you see any overly well-dressed men sauntering around the city, grab them by the scruff, check their label and if the shirt fits Crimestoppers are waiting on 1800 333 000.

There’s a scene in Ghost Dog where the hero walks straight through a group of people and no one sees him. With no special effects, you’re completely convinced that he’s invisible. It’s magic. Who would have thought that Forest Whitaker had it in him?
Jim Jarmusch has been a cult favourite from his early Stranger Than Paradise through to his most recent work, Broken Flowers – films that are famously charming, laconic and, occasionally, wildly pretentious. (I’m looking at you, Dead Man!) Ghost Dog is a satisfyingly stitched-together Frankenstein’s monster of samurai philosophy, Warner Brothers cartoons, 1960s noir, Japanese gangster films, and more… all tied together by a moody score by RZA from Wu-Tang, and Forest Whitaker’s soulful performance as cinema’s most unlikely-looking ninja assassin.
Like the best of Jarmusch, Ghost Dog recombines popular culture into something that feels playful, meaningful, and fresh. And if nothing else, Ghost Dog is as close to an action movie as he’s ever likely to make.

You sick of the establishment? Or, even though you loved Justice, perhaps you’re just sick of ‘the new rave’? Either way, Sydney’s original proto-punk band The Thought Criminals will make you question at least one thing in your life when they finally play their first Melbourne show after 30 years.
Having recently supported the Buzzcocks, The Thought Criminals are now putting on their own show and are supported in turn by TV Smith of the ’77 punk legends The Adverts, as well as founder of punk label Aberrant Records/comedian Bruce Griffiths. Keeping in the spirit, The Thought Criminals are also giving away a limited number of the Peace, Love and Under Surveillance five track coloured vinyl 7" EPs featuring all new tracks to everyone attending the show. You don’t have to pay for punk records, but you should fork out to see this show.
