Editor’s Note

As we tip toe into December, Christmas is just over the horizon. It’s time to get your Santa list down and figure out just how nice you’ve been. Who’s your KK and what’s the price limit? Don’t forget to plan your social schedule too, there’ll be Christmas parties a plenty I’m sure.

It’s a seriously busy time for all of us but we’ve cut you some slack, putting together a special gift guide to simplify your ominous Christmas shopping endeavours.

From one festive occasion to another, Friday December 7 marks the triumphant inauguration of Good Things Festival – Australia’s next step towards revitalising a once-adored alternative music scene. Taking over Flemington Racecourse, the likes of The Offspring, Stone Sour, Bullet for My Valentine and BABYMETAL will perform and we have the former of the four in our hood, chatting to us about Smash and how the album is still treasured 24 years on.

On top of that, we chatted to Tanya George about the next step for busking in Melbourne and look to discover more about the alluring Melbourne Underground techno phenomenon that’s soon to take over the city.

It’s issue 1655 my friends, what are you waiting for?
