Hey Blogosphere. For those interested I’ve started up a new gig guide at http://sydneylindy.blogspot.com.au/ The content on this blog has been migrated over there where a new curator will take over the gig guide. This blog will take a bit of a different turn, cataloguing my adventures living in Nepal (I move there in a

2012: The Mayans are Coming!
Well 2012 is now in full swing and the media is full of talk about Mayans and the end of the world (why do I feel like we’ve been here before). I thought I’d put together a bit of list from some of the best alternative commentary on the web. The first is this video
Links of the Week: Dressing for the Gents
I was having a chat with a gentleman on the weekend (you know who you are) about ties and how I’d seen a post discussing the various authentic ways of wearing them. In particular how to keep them from flying all over the place. Then I realised that many folk have been blogging about current
2011: My (Lindy/Music) Highlights
Well another year rounds to a close and it has been almost a year since I started this blogging thing. So as to be completely original and not copy anyone else at all I thought I’d post my #lindyhop and #musicnerd highlights for the year. I’m glad it has been such a great year for
Review: Where to buy music in Australia – Take 2
Though it’s only been 6 months since my original post there’s been quite a few changes on the music buying circuit so I thought I’d update and re-post it. I’ve had a lot of people asking me lately where to buy swing music from so I thought I’d put together a post outlining the best
Links of the Week: A Gender special
I’ve been thinking a lot about gender and sexuality issues particularly in the dance space so I thought I’d post a bunch of links I’ve come across. ABC’s Artscape follows a group of gay and lesbian ballroom dancers as they battle injuries and prejudice to compete in the gay games. Dahlia Lithwick on slate.com looks
Links of the week
I’m not feeling particularly inspired to write anything at the moment. But here are some interesting links this week. I came across this excellent parody video (with thanks to Sociological Images) of Miss USA contestants asked “Should Math be taught in schools?”. Check out the original evolution video here if you can stomach a quarter
DJ Sets – Canberrang
This past weekend was Canberrang – Canberra’s Lindy Exchange and one of the jewels in the crown of the Australian Lindy Calendar. I had an awesome time over the weekend and managed to squeeze in two sets. I wanted to get them up now as a lot of folk were asking me questions about the
DJ Set – Canberra Social
I was down in Canberra for work last week and managed to make it out to the social on Thursday night. I ended up DJing the first set – here’s what I played: Name – Artist – Album – Duration – Date – BPMBlues for Stephanie – George Gee and His Make Believe Ballroom Orchestra
Treme, Lindy Hop, New Orleans and the Mythology of Rebirth
This is part review, part lindy blog and part personal reflection. But mainly its me talking about stuff I don’t know nearly enough about, so feel free to tell me I’m full of shit. I’ve just finished watching the first season of Treme on DVD (it’s finally out here*). It’s by the same producers and
