I have four more shifts; today, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, before I’m off in a big jet plane.
Happy As Can Be!
My name is Alexandra, or Ali.
Or sometimes Dogood.
I am from Melbourne, Australia.
It's a pretty 'happening' place. At least this is what I am lead to believe.
I love music, shoes and finding awesome handbags at op shops. I sort of consider myself a music journalist, depends on how confident I am feeling at the time. I am an intern at Melbourne street press Beat Magazine and for Chapter Music.

This is going to be me.

So ah, how long does it take to organise a Eurail pass?

This time next week, I will be on a plane to Paris. What even?

This has been a Hugh Dancy // Will Graham with dogs appreciation post.
Today I picked up a stray and took him to the vets. Apparently his owners picked him up but I got a weird feeling he had been dumped. Anyway, I immediately thought of this scene, and I sort of wished Will Graham was real so I could give him the dog to look after.

Definitely an orange lippy night!

Woohoo! Finally have Under The Influence: The Girly Review all printed and ready to be sent off. Hope to have it in Sticky by next week too. Right before I go away I’ll have the next theme announced.

My lovely jellies arrived!

On my drive home from work tonight, the freeway was closed from about halfway so I had to drive a long, long way home kind of through some bushy areas and it was kind of scary. Yellow road signs jumping out at me, little orange reflectors on the road looked as though they were peeping out. The high beams on my car would like up so much space ahead of me but looking in the rear vision mirror all I saw was complete black and the whole drive was all foggy. IT WAS REALLY CREEPY AND SCARY.

Click through on the below link to hear the beautiful HTRK remix of Standish/Carlyon’s first single, Nono/Yoyo n The Fader.
Though Deleted Scenes is only their first album under the Standish/Carlyon moniker, the Australian duo of ex-Devastations members Conrad Standish and Tom Carlyon has already proved masterfully adept at sluggish, sexy, subtly wonked vocal dance music. So are their equally soulful countrymen in HTRK, which would make this remix of album standout “Nono/Yoyo” feel like a match made in heaven if not for the knowledge that Standish is already married to the HTRK member with the same last name, Jonnine. Even more brooding and blue-colored than the original, HTRK’s edit sends the vocals and lead synth hook underwater to reveal a trip-hoppy foundation of jazzy seventh chords and ghostly filtersweeps. Deleted Scenes is out now via Felte worldwide and via Chapter Music in Australia, and you can catch the group next week at one of the Brooklyn dates below. (via Stream: Standish/Carlyon, “Nono/Yoyo (HTRK Remix)” « The FADER)
Ahhhh Standish/Carlyon and HTRK, two of my favourite bands! (And my favourite power couple!)

This guy is performing in Melbourne while I’m away. That’s twice in a row I’ll have missed him and that is bad :(
