INTRODUCTION

Parklife returned to Sydney for another round of cloth fueled blindness. We were on hand to judge you all.

APPENDIX

Parklife is a national festival that travels around Australia. It’s organised by Fuzzy, an Australian touring company. Goldfrapp and Soulwax headlined for 2008. In recent years it has been criticized for the blindingly bright fluoro fashions adorned by many of its patrons.

INTRODUCTION

Part of the CMJ circus. Crowd surfing looks fun until you get dropped face first into the floor.

Appendix

Crystal Castles; 8-bit electronic duo from Toronto. The gig was a part of CMJ, a week long marathon of film and music promoting emerging talent and the ire of the local population.

INTRODUCTION

2 A.M Webster Hall.

APPENDIX

You all know who MSTRKRFT are, right? Al-P and Jesse F. Keeler? If not, please consult the following. Webster Hall appears to be getting a lot of big acts coming through. I find myself there a little too frequently. It reminds me of the Enmore, back in Sydney.

STREET STYLE

Introduction

We scour the New York City streets for the bleeding edge change agents that’ll inspire your wardrobe selections for next season.

APPENDIX

This edition of “Street Style” was photographed primarily around the East Village. I got turned down by a lot of old ladies.

MISSHAPES

Recently two thirds of the vodka and coke swilling, Karl Lagerfeld-endorsed New York City DJ troupe ‘The Misshapes’ made a little Pedestrian-sponsored trip to Australia.

Things that surprised us about the Misshapes:
How teeny-tiny they are.
They’re very, very funny.
They like making pizzas.
Leigh Lezark has the throaty rasp of a fast talking 60 year old.

Things that didn’t surprise us about the Misshapes:
Their penchant for black black black

At some point we asked Leigh and Geordon to answer some stuff for us. We have no idea where the other one was.

OLD MAN!

IS A GENTLEMAN! AND SCHOLAR.
