Vulnicura Björk 6 Music

Very raw, very personal album that was able to let go of some of the intense music theory in service of some more typical melodies

Dirt Femme Tove Lo 6 Music

An uneven album that gets worse on repeated listens. Some very good singles, but also some really cringy songs

Hello Dankness Sodajerk 6 Movie

Not as cohesive as previous works. It also annoyed me how obvious most of the work was? Very left, very predictable in its appraisal of the Trump presidency

Lightyear Angus MacLane 6 Movie

Lightyear and his cat Sox were great, but the supporting characters were so annoying that it dragged down the whole movie

The Year of February Forest Claudette 6 Music

Decent funky EP. I didn’t mind it

Lychee BENEE 6 Music

Overheard while shopping at AS Colour. A few stand out tracks but not memorable to me

Midsommar Ari Aster 6 Movie

I watched the longer director’s cut, which while expected, was too long. An art house take on the hill billy horror tropes. Great production design, but let down by the use of fake flowers

Hey Bianca Pizza Brighton South Australia 6 Food

Granted these are above average pizzas, but can confirm that it will take you over 2 hours to receive your order. Maybe times will improve once the hype settles down? Alternatively, given this is entirely app based ordering, may I suggest to the owners that they show how long the wait will be before you […]

Extra Chicken Salt South Australia 6 Food

An interesting dining environment with decent food, if somewhat small ish portions for the price. Dining room is reached via a fake cold room fridge door. On the other side, is a mirror ball lit, disco infused hideaway. It is certainty a novel experience – I just wish some of the theatrics had been extended […]

Kazumi Ramen Norwood South Australia 6 Food

Friendly, cozy and tasty. Overall, I still don’t really “get” ramen, but enjoyed the experience here. The gooey soy egg was a highlight for me, as was the nice mural that extends the full length of the restaurant. Location 150 The Parade, Norwood SA 5067

Sandcastle Frederick Peeters, Pierre Oscar Lévy 6 Book

A graphic novel with an interesting premise, but ultimately and frustratingly unfinished story.

Lune Croissanterie Kate Reid, Victoria 6 Food

Okay I’ve been here twice. The first time through some freak of chance, I was able to walk straight in without having to wait at all. On this occasion, I can say the croissant was amazing. Totally worth the hype. Like eating the most delicate, savoury, buttery and crisp leaves. The second time, I thought […]

Lisa Mitchell & The Maes Lisa Mitchell 6 Show

Support act was excellent, however Lisa Mitchell was over complicated (literally too many bells and whistles). The loudness of the act also annoyingly made people more comfortable about talking over the music

Growing Up Queer In Australia Benjamin Law 6 Book

I am a failed reader. This should have been an easy read, but not all stories were…good? This collection did remind me that I once used to question my gender identity

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Sam Raimi 6 Movie

More enjoyable than most Marvel movies, but again too long. Over saturated with spectacular VFX, but to the point that they become ordinary. Nice Raimi touches

Never Let Me Go Placebo 6 Music

Some very good tracks – a total throwback to 90s Placebo, but Moloko’s repetitive lyrics grate

The Amazing Race Season 33 Elise Doganieri 6 Television

Pronounced disparity between good and bad teams but in the end, a very clean race despite the COVID interruption

The Golden Cockrel Barrie Kosky 6 Show

Very visually striking production design. Probably best opera I’ve seen, but I still fell asleep in parts

Arya Indian Cuisine South Australia 6 Food

A restaurant with table cloths, attentive table service and enough space between you and other diners. Food is not too bad either. Location 48 Unley Road, Unley SA 5061

ShoSho South Australia 6 Food

Service was very good and overall presentation was very appealing. Food was also very accomplished but not to my personal tastes on this occasion. I know the intents are probably different, but having dined at Shobosho, I found that to be much more satisfying. I will say though, that for our lunch, it was a […]

Dial a Curry South Australia 6 Food

This place is the very definition of cheap and cheerful. Generous serves with unlimited roti with your meal. How people are able to eat more than what comes with your thali is beyond me though as I was stuffed as is. Setting itself is very basic and I think if you are fussy, this may […]

Oppa Eatery South Australia 6 Food

A modest and casual Korean eatery serving fair Korean fried chicken for this area. Sensible lunch time servings for one with most things costing around the $10 mark. Limited options for vegetarians especially if you do not like tofu. Location 382 Sturt Road, Tonsley SA 5042

The Complete Kake Comics Tom of Finland 6 Book

Incredibly well drawn, but became a bit repetitive after a while

Spider-Man: No Way Home Jon Watts 6 Movie

Decent but forgettable

(An Overview on) An Overview of Phenomenal Nature Cassandra Jenkins 6 Music

Wanky but a much needed meditative salve

Dune Denis Villeneuve 6 Movie

Very dry and serious – well put together, but…monochromatic

New Australian Fiction 2020 Various 6 Book

Varied but felt very academic. A third enjoyable

You Like Rolls South Australia 6 Food

Fast, but unremarkable bread rolls. Carrot is barely pickled and I found the overall flavour to be too mild for my liking. There are no meal deals either, so it can be a bit expensive if you want the typical spring roll/dim sim and soft drink combo. As for the franchise logo – a Caucasian […]

Hahndorf Chinese Restaurant South Australia 6 Food

If you’re in the mood for good Chinese food, you’re going to have to bury your expectations at the Hahndorf Chinese Restaurant. The service is friendly and efficient but the food is at best only okay – it is certainly not authentic by a long stretch. To be fair, this is at least consistent with […]

Osteria Oggi South Australia 6 Food

It’s unfair to review a place after only one visit but my excuse is that it’s what most other reviewers here have done. This makes me feel a little less guilty about recounting my underwhelming experience at Osteria Oggi in contrast to everyone else’s superlative ones. Generally Italian food does tend to be fairly elemental, […]

Kong BBQ Victoria 6 Food

Do you know those websites that assault you with pop up banners? Or the ones where filling out a form involves switching between the use of the keyboard and the mouse? Or the mobile website that doesn’t work on a mobile and only shows half of what’s available on the desktop version? Kong BBQ is […]

Fish Head South Australia 6 Food

I got a very samey vibe from the food here but I’m willing to put this down to bad food selection on my behalf. Other than that, the food was okay and the staff attentive and friendly. The fit out of the restaurant is also refreshingly a little different, utilising a local artist’s work. Not […]

Pho Linh South Australia 6 Food

Street food is pretty trendy these days but no place can pull it off so unpretentiously as Pho Linh. This place has faithfully replicated the experience of eating in a grimy and bustling alleyway in Vietnam. The fact that this was probably all incidental only makes it all the more authentic! Service is fast and […]

Gyoza Gyoza South Australia 6 Food

Came back here about a week later and either the food is very inconsistent or quality took a dive real quick. Proceed with caution. — Unfortunately never made it to Celsius, but I suspect a lot of the grandeur of this space was inherited from it. Walking along the corridors to the stark and monochromatic […]

Ayam Penyet RIA Victoria 6 Food

I had no idea what to expect when I wandered into this eatery. I’ve never even really had Indonesian food before but this is great. Loved the crunchy fried chicken. Location South Melbourne, Melbourne

Strawberry Fair Bakery South Australia 6 Food

BaNH mi not baHN mi. N before the H. It’s Viet, not German! I think I’m going to have to preface every banh mi review with that. I get irrationally angry when I see it spelt wrong. Anyway, Strawberry Fair…I’d heard a lot about this place but was never in the area. Finally made it […]

Halls Gap Hotel Victoria 6 Food

We have visited Halls Gap a few times now and have yet to find a basic eatery to match the natural and spectacular sights in this area. Unfortunately we’re still looking… Location Halls Gap, Halls Gap

Niño’s Lamesita South Australia 6 Food

Pleasant enough experience – good service, nice decor, okay food at okay prices – unfortunately with so much other competition in the vicinity, this place occupies a really awkward gap for me. Hopefully the current interest in Filipino food helps these guys out. Location North Terrace, City Centre, Adelaide, SA

Hill of Grace Restaurant South Australia 6 Food

So…I’m not much of an alcohol drinker. That might be enough for most of you to discount this review, but on food alone, I found my experience of Hill of Grace to be slightly lacking. The food is not bad – just not to my taste as I didn’t really find anything that had me […]

Coda Victoria 6 Food

My dining group was fortunate enough to get a booking here at short notice, but I think if I had booked this place months in advance I would have been pretty disappointed. The restaurant fit out is nice and intelligently thought out, using the ambient street lighting to achieve a great sense of intimacy. When it came […]

Gondola Gondola South Australia 6 Food

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to like a place as much as with Gondola Gondola. I will return, but please pay as much attention to the food as to the superb job you guys have done on the fit out and design of this place. I want so bad for you guys to do […]
