Unconditional
Love never dies, it just transforms.

#Brisbane World Premiere

By Seán Dowling and Cameron Hurry

Two men. They flirt. They dance. They fall in #love

House. Dog. Coffee machine. Joint bank accounts.

Work. Routine. Drift. Crisis.

Intimate, poetic and de-centering, Unconditional weaves a compelling tapestry of a #queer relationship between a man who identifies as gay and a person whose identity evolves during their marriage…

Nice summary of 15 fantastic books set in #Brisbane

I've been meaning to read Alli Sinclair's - The #Codebreakers for a while.

" (sic) one for the historical #fiction lovers, this time set in Brisbane during WWII, where a group of women form a close bond as codebreakers for Australia’s top-secret Central Bureau. According to the description, The Codebreakers is “a compelling story about tenacity and friendship”."

There's a plethora of #walking #tours available in #Brisbane.

These folks seem to have a good rep https://www.walkbrisbane.com/ but I'm looking for recommendations of paths and places less well tread.

What would you suggest for #Meanjin #visitors #wearebrisbane

Found a comprehensive First Nations #map of #Australia by Wildwood #Maps. It's been praised for It's accuracy, but if anything is missing I'm sure they'd appreciate the feedback.

Sales of the maps go towards #indigenous projects.

Today's theme? Hmmm directions...

Got really distracted by these #YouTube videos that ask #drummers to hear a song once (without the drum track) and then play their own version! A lot nail it (exactly the same as the original), or their version is still stonkin' good! Active listening is key - some create the structure & form on paper first. Some ofc just mentally map the beats & kill it!

Search YouTube "Hears a song for the first time"... drummers like Domino Santantonio, Larnell Lewis, and Dirk Verbeuren 💚 #wearebrisbane

Blank Realm is a musical group from #Brisbane active since 2005. The group is composed of sibling members Daniel, Luke and Sarah Spencer (who are Australian born of Sri Lankan heritage) and guitarist Luke Walsh. They were described by the Guardian as having "a sound drawn from krautrock, New York’s no wave, New Zealand’s entire Flying Nun roster, and those closer to home, like the Go-Betweens".
