  • Race Sex Appearance
    RACE RELIGION ABILITY AGE SEX EXPERIENCE SCENE STATUS APPEARANCE CULTURE BELIEFS /N$IT 4HE %QUALITY %DITION Making my sophomore editorial, after laying low since the first edition, I feel somewhat under pressure to write something meaningful and enlightening on the topic of equality. Seeing as though I pretty much feel that as a male there is no need for equality amongst the sexes, I will steer clear in the hopes of irking the many feminists I imagine read On Dit (although after our Sexuality Edition I’m sure we lost a few.) Five editions in and the process of getting the notes and scribbles from the white board in our office into this inky entertainment package is showing no signs of getting easier. At least I feel as though we are actually doing something for the wider student community or at the very least, refuting ill-informed comments from the schmos at UniSA’s ‘Urban Lifestyle Magazine’, Entropy; rivalry is fun. By the time you read this edition, we will hopefully be using new computers (provided by the AUU and our sweet advertising moolah) to put together this 76 year old newspaper that (if we have our say) shows no signs of slowing in its old age. With a new government yet to do anything worthwhile regarding VSU, I say, take advantage of University facilities while they’re still here and get involved. To those who advocate VSU (as the theme of the day is equality, I suppose I’d best admit that you exist), go and complain about other facilities you won’t use; imagine the Southern suburbs-dwelling residents against the Northern Expressway or Burnside folk opposed to the potential Port Adelaide light rail expansion etc.

  • Permission Received 2006. for Personal Use Only. Further
    Vox Pop felt that sometimes we judge people a little too harshly. In our line of ‘work’ first impressions and making assumptions about the kids around these concrete plazas is common and we can often be heard mumbling, “Nah don’t ask her, she looks like she’d give boring answers” or “lets chat to that weird-looking geek”. But maybe we’re just unusually bitchy (it has been a noted trait in both of us). So we decided to do a small social experiment and ask the common people, the great unwashed, whether they have ever been judged or felt discriminated against because of their gender, weight, nationality, dress or taste in music or whether they have ever made judgements or assumptions of others because of these things … with surprising results. Maybe we just asked the wrong kind of people? Scott 27 “ Teaching/Arts Rachel I’ve never noticed 19 having been Development Studies discriminated Yes, I feel like do get judged against – at school I mainly because of the way I was more of a bullier look and the music I listen to. rather than the one I’m a bit chunky and people being bullied.

  • Introduction: Something in the Water
    [PB 10.2 (2009) 137-143] Perfect Beat (print) ISSN 1038-2909 doi:10.1558/prbt.v10i2.137 Perfect Beat (online) ISSN 1836-0343 Denis Crowdy and Mark Evans Introduction: Something in the Water Denis Crowdy is a Senior Lecturer in Music at Department of Media, Music and Macquarie University. His research has focused Cultural Studies on the popular music of Melanesia, and he has Macquarie University published literature on topics including local NSW 2109 string band, local rock/reggae, and the tradition- Australia al/jazz-rock fusion band Sanguma (from PNG). [email protected] He is currently involved in an extensive, gov- ernment funded research project exploring the music indus tries of Melanesia. Mark Evans is Head of Media, Music and Cultural Department of Media, Music and Studies at Macquarie University, Sydney. He is Cultural Studies author of Open Up The Doors: Music in the Modern Macquarie University Church (2006) and co-editor of Perfect Beat. Ryde, NSW 2109 Australia [email protected] This extended introduction to volume 10.2 of Perfect Beat revolves around an Aus- tralian documentary entitled Something in the Water (dir. Aidan O’Bryan 2008). The discussion is based on emails received by the authors concerning the film, which we quote at length below. The discussion is an example of the dialogue Perfect Beat is seeking to foster amongst the academic community and wider readership. To this end, we take this opportunity to remind readers that smaller contributions (up to 3000 words) to the ‘Riffs’ section of the journal are still welcome, and may well be a suitable place to comment on issues within contemporary culture in the Pacific region.

  • Live Music, Precocity and Regulation. Dr Christina Ballico Queensland
    A state of constant prodding: Live music, precocity and regulation. Dr Christina Ballico Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre Griffith University 140 Grey Street South Brisbane QLD 4101 [email protected] Dr Dave Carter University of Tasmania [email protected] Abstract Live music makes a vital contribution to the cultural and creative identities of cities. In turn, the spaces in which such activity takes place contribute strongly to the functioning of local music and arts scenes. However, particularly in large Australian cities, there is a tension between economic development, fuelled by an extended property bubble, and the viability of small-to- medium live music venues. This tension is compounded by community attitudes toward arts and culture as well as a range of regulatory measures which govern the spaces in which this activity takes place. This paper examines the challenges inherent with developing and sustaining of live music venues in relation to the regulatory barriers associated with doing so. This paper draws on data from two qualitative studies examining producer accounts of live music operation in Perth, the capital of Western Australia, and Sydney, the capital of New South Wales. Each of these studies focused on the regulatory frameworks, and barriers associated with being able to support local, original contemporary music activity and were prompted following the closure of several highly supportive, high profile live music venues in each location. This research came in the wake of the so-called ‘lock out laws’, which placed limits on the operating hours of licensed premises in the entertainment district of Kings Cross and surrounding suburbs.
