Feel Presents: Henry Rollins – The Long March – Australian Tour 2012

For better than a quarter century, Henry Rollins has toured the world as a spoken word artist, as frontman for both Rollins Band and Black Flag and without a microphone, as a solitary traveller with insatiable curiosity bypassing the resorts in favour of places like Siberia and Senegal, or Burma and Bangladesh. His curiosity and hunger for experienced based knowledge, teamed with his willingness to travel, his no-holds-barred delivery of his opinions and observations, and wicked sense of humour make him one of the most inspiring and interesting commentators / entertainers of a generation.

“Tilt-shift” encompasses two different types of movements: rotation of the lens plane relative to the image plane, called tilt, and movement of the lens parallel to the image plane, called shift. Tilt is used to control the orientation of the plane of focus (PoF), and hence the part of an image that appears sharp; it makes use of the Scheimpflug principle. Shift is used to adjust the position of the subject in the image area without moving the camera back; this is often helpful in avoiding the convergence of parallel lines, as when photographing tall buildings.

Susan Boyle’s ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’ debuts at #1 on the ARIA Album Chart

LMFAO accrue five weeks at the singles peak with ‘Sexy And I Know It’

Susan Boyle enjoys her third Australian chart-topping album, as ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ debuts at number one on the ARIA Album Chart! She is the first 50 year old to top the chart since Jimmy Barnes a little over two years ago, and all three of her albums feature in the top 100 this week, with the first, ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ at 59 and second, ‘The Gift’, at 78. Over on the singles chart, LMFAO chalk up five weeks at the top with ‘Sexy And I Know It’. Combined with the ten weeks that their smash hit ‘Party Rock Anthem’ spent at #1 on the ARIA Singles Chart earlier in the year, it ensures they have had the longest run in top spot in a calendar year by one act since 1976, when Abba had five number ones for a cumulative total of 30 weeks.

Review by Billy Geary

First impressions are forever important in almost every aspect of life. Upon walking through the gates at Werribee Park at around midday for the start of the highly anticipated Harvest Festival, the first impressions were good, very good. The choice of location couldn’t have been better; the picturesque parklands featured some beautiful gardens and space aplenty for the 15,000 people in attendance. When not factoring the slightly problematic issue of Werribee being a good hours drive from Melbourne, it’s an absolute mystery why Harvest was the first music festival to utilise the venue. Touted as a peaceful gathering of music and arts lovers alike, Harvest more than lived up to its claims. The significant lack of southern-cross brandishing folk competing for bogan of the year was welcomed by all, with the sight of police chilling out and dancing to the music along with punters perhaps the best indication of the festivals succuss.
