Literary Stalkings: On the Trail of Easton Ellis

farrago2010

I’m lost in L.A. somewhere between La Cienega North and La Cienega South, trying to find a place called “Largo”. With less than an hour til it began, hungover and sick after a road trip to Vegas, I realised the Ellis reading was tonight. Frantically scrawling down the address, I set off into the fray, running down La Cienega Boulevard. But the numbers aren’t going in any discernible order and I’m high on medication and I keep trying to flag a cab but none are driving past. I don’t know what I’m looking for, whether it’s a bookstore or a venue, and I’m starting to doubt if the address I wrote down is even correct.

Interview with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker

Curious multi-coloured swirls adorned the cover of Tame Impala’s debut EP in 2008. It was a painting by lead singer Kevin Parker of the Orion Nebula – that strangely beautiful place, sometimes visible in the night sky, of churning dust and gas particles known as a ‘stellar nursery’. A place, quite literally, where stars are born. Whether intended or not, that cover has proven prophetic for the band who have since been signed by mega-label Modular, toured Australia with sold-out shows, are supporting MGMT on their upcoming US tour, and will return to play Splendour in the Grass later this year. It has been something of a meteoric rise for these Perth psychedelic rockers with their distinctive, retro-hued style. This month, the band released their LP, InnerSpeaker – voted one of Faster Louder’s most anticipated albums of 2010 – and the first single ‘Solitude Is Bliss’, into the cosmos.
