Urban surveillance as a game

Snitches and snoops wanted: Internet Eyes is a new "game" where the public is invited to watch thousands of CCTV cameras for criminal activity. The most successful crimespotters can win cash prizes. The site will also feature a rogues gallery of alleged perpetrators. The service launches next month in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. It's free to watch the cameras and £20 a week to have your CCTV up for monitoring.

Johnette Napolitino @ The Corner, Melbourne 8th October

REVIEW BY JACKISAN:
"What a brilliant performance from such an extremely talented musician.
Charismatic, sultry & energetic.
Treating the crowd to several Concrete Blonde tracks Johnette's powerful voice had the crowd on her side all night, from slow acoustic ballads from her own pen to raucous cover versions of 'Ghost Riders In The Sky' & 'Beds Are Burning' & finishing with an acapella rendition of 'Tomorrow Wendy'.
One of the best live gigs that I have seen.
Words fail me.
Simply superb."

Sweet soul music with a message

I scream, you scream!

Max Q

Despite the involvement of Michael Hutchence, Max Q were superb. Obviously down to Ollie Olsen and the rest of the band. John Murphy (the drummer) actually rang me up when I first arrived in Melbourne to see if I was interested in making some music. I said "NO" as my kids were tiny.
How stupid was that! John, if you read this, I am up for it now.
