I feel a bit sheepish admitting this in public, but Mr B is a huge country and western music fan. I know! Right?! Anyway he is, and I might not love his music but I do love Mr B. So I decided to write some tongue-in-cheek snippets of lyrics from three of his favourites (Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and Elvis…

(Alt. title: THE BEST FLASHMOB YOU WILL EVER SEE OR HEAR) How was your weekend, friends? Mine was pretty average, to be honest. I am happy it’s over and ready to start the week fresh. There were some good parts, especially catching up with some lovely friends who dropped by on Saturday afternoon. But mostly,…

‘Cause I want to be someone, worthy of your conversation The madness in the moonless night So shake off your leeward side And everything that I did or did not do In the miniature of my life, has a lineage back to you… I’ve been listening to “Leeward Side” by Josh Pyke all weekend. It…

This is a beautiful little song called ‘Existential Crisis,’ written and performed for you by the one, the only, the lovely Emily Rose. It breaks my heart a little bit. It’s all angsty and teenagery and reminds me of how I wouldn’t be a teenager again for quids. I remember these emotions and the sense…

The Arts Centre Melbourne is absolutely killing it with its summer season lineup this year, in this blogger’s humble opinion. Who popped in for one night only on the weekend? Just Gotye, that’s who. Oh wait, you want more? How about seven choreographers, 12 street dancers, three break dancers and some local talent, in the…

Melbourne’s train network, Metro Trains, has produced this kinda cute and kinda disturbing song to discourage people from doing silly, dangerous things around trains (like jumping the tracks, standing near the edge of the platform, driving around barriers at level crossings: apparently people do all these things!). The song is called Dumb Ways to Die….

Please pardon this proud (step) mama post. When Em turned 14 in July this year, she asked us for a ukelele as her present. She taught herself to play it. She wrote a song. So, to take you into the weekend, here is some sweet music from Madeleine’s very beautiful big sister. Happy weekend. xo

Happy Sunday night! This evening is brought to you by this intriguing little teaser video. It looks like the aftermath to quite the party, don’t you think? We are recovering in the aftermath of a rather lovely party of our own chez Bulger today, and I’ll tell you all about it shortly. Also, my parents…

Yesterday on a long walk we happened past this telegraph pole and, lo and behold, the people of North Fitzroy are making wishes. This makes me so happy! Just three days after I put up my little poster, people had taken home “hope,” “a fresh start,” and “a belly laugh” in their pockets. I wonder…

Dear Lennon and Maisy, how have I not seen/heard you before? I am in love! And… What would you do if you’d never been to Paris before and you had one day, just one, precious day, to see as much of this magical city as you could? Where would you go? What would you see?…

I have been listening to Of Monsters and Men’s My Head is an Animal album all week. It makes me so happy. And I just love this track, “Little Talks.” When I hear it, I feel like somebody has handed me a shining gift and, when I open it, the gift is freedom. Maybe that’s…

Meet one of my favourite* bands in Melbourne, Skipping Girl Vinegar. They just sent a monkey named Baker into space. This is Baker. Almost in space. First, they built a little space ship out of foam and gaffer tape. They piled into an old Volkswagen Kombi and drove out to an open field on Mount Barker…
