Hi friends!

Lorde has had an interesting first press cycle moment for her forthcoming album, Virgin. We speak about the Rolling Stone comments and whether Lorde's ovulation sentiment is veering into right-wing territory. We reference a Glamour UK article by Chloe Laws.

Next, Australian Fashion Week has been... a lot. We break down Maggie's TikTok video and ask who fashion week is actually for? It references an article from RUSSH magazine by Cassandra Dimintroff.

KIC CEO (and former Culture Club guest) Laura Henshaw has been in the Australian news cycle this week after calling out podcaster Chris Griffin. In a recent interview with creator Wade Papenfus, Chris began spouting some pretty toxic tradwife sentiments. We discuss the comments and Laura's feedback on the importance of financial literacy and independence in women. We also share her Australian Financial Review feature and Laura's KICPOD episode.

In Bookmarked, we both recommend Beetlejuice the musical, which is playing now in Melbourne. You can buy your tickets here.

See you next time! Jas & Mags xo

Hi friends!

This week we’re basking in the literary glow of the Melbourne Writers Festival, and feeling the pre-event buzz of AFW (Australian Fashion Week).

After our catch-up, we dive into our chit-chat of the week including the latest Harry Styles’ sighting, and an update on Maggie’s White Boy of The Month.

In our Culture Shock, the partner of disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, Billy Evans, has begun raising money for his new start-up, a blood-testing company. Sorry, what? We reference The Dropout podcast and TV series.

FKA twigs has caused a TikTok lol after positing a profound question on the stage of Resident Advisor Exchange Live at AVA London. We reference the TikTok and ask why celebrities are like this.

Next, are your Sonny Angels a recession indicator?

Enter: Labubu — the latest “it” collectible with jagged teeth, furrowed brows and a $30+ price tag (if you’re lucky). We share our own thoughts on the collectible craze and reference a piece by Simran Pasricha for PEDESTRIAN.TV which suggests that trinkets like Sonny Angels, Miffys, and Jellycats are more than just cute.

In Bookmarked, Jas recommends a piece by Izzy Wight for Fashion Journal on the ‘Just A Girl’ phenomenon whilst Maggie devoured Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins.

Spacey Jane doesn’t really need an introduction – this Australian indie rock band has stolen the hearts of fans here locally and globally.

As a result, band members Caleb Harper, Peppa Lane, Ashton Hardman-Le Cornu and Kieran Lama have quickly risen to the heights of Australian music royalty.

Spacey Jane scooped up an ARIA for their hit song, Booster Seat, which also made it to number two in Triple J’s Hottest 100 in 2020, and their sold-out tours have cemented their formidable live reputation.

Now, their third album If That Makes Sense is about to be released. With its honest lyrics and catchy hooks, If That Makes Sense is Spacey Jane’s boldest and most grown-up album yet and we’re so excited to chat about it with their frontman Caleb and bassist Peppa.

You can stream the new album here from May 9 and follow the band (and their tours) on Instagram.
