TwoThousand is a weekly snapshot of Sydney's subculture - a Sydney guide to film, music, design, books, art, goods and links for people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. Below you will find the latest additions to our Sydney guide.
Lots has been made of 'shit-gaze' and 'no-fi' production values in music for a while now, most notably in America where the blown-up, overdriven sound of originals like Pink Reason, Times New Viking and Vivian Girls has seriously crossed over in indie circles to become almost a movement in itself, regardless of content.
There's something shameful about mocking bad movies. As Patton Oswalt points out, even the worst movies had a cast and crew who believed in their work. And Tommy Wiseau has never stopped believing. Although he sounds like Arnie and looks like a cross between Steven Seagal and Fabio, Wiseau sees himself as the heir to Tennessee Williams.
For all of you either growing a precious 'mo', or just maintaining one - make sure you check out Clayton Bailey's Moustache Grower. Clayton Bailey's secret 'super stiff' organic protein formula Moustache Grower comes in a hand-made, wheel-thrown, porcelain-covered jar. On this jar is a photo-silk-screened underglaze label showing its inventor's prize-winning moustache.
This is British comedy that parades as a game show. However, NEVER MIND THE BUZZCOCKS is more of a talk show, where the panellists' main objectives are humiliation and props. You could say it's the rich-man's SPICKS 'N' SPECKS. It's hosted by the hilariously quick-witted Simon Amstel, a man so funny that he once gave a guest a hernia.
