  • An Interview with Megan Washington by Megan Spencer Australian Musician Magazine, November 2010
    ‘Fireflies in a jar’ - an interview with Megan Washington By Megan Spencer Australian Musician Magazine, November 2010. There are those among us whose minds work differently when it comes to storytelling. Rather than sit down and ‘tell a story’, they sit down and and ‘tell a song’. These people are ‘hardwired’ for song. When stories start spinning in their heads and hearts, poetry spills out (not prose) which, coupled with music, become ‘lyrics’. Spontaneously and simultaneously music generates from within their imaginations to accompany each word. Melody and rhythm entwine themselves around phrases, until they fuse to form verses, choruses, repeat; and then become… song. Megan Washington aka ‘Washington’ is one of these enviable ‘right-brained people’, a latter- day songstress or “chanteuse” as she is often referred to, not only in the media but by herself as well. (On Washington’s MySpace under ‘About Me’ you will find, “Chanteuse: noun (literary): a female singer, especially one who sings on the stage in a theatre or bar, where elegant people fall about in frantic and frenzied splendour.”) Since emerging onto the national stage just over 12 months ago, people have been swooning over the sound of Washington’s voice and music. But it is her songwriting that leaves its mark; strong, poetic, narrative, with a distinct emotional tone. It smacks of a discipline in advance of her 24 years and defines her presence within the Australian musical landscape. “Songwriting for me sits somewhere between therapy, memory and fantasy,” says Megan, fresh from her first stint at Splendour In The Grass, where she got to belt out songs from her just-released debut album, ‘I Believe You Liar’.

  • 2) Economy, Business
    2) Economy, Business : The majority of tribes' economies rely on Casinos. There are a huge amount of Casinos in Oklahoma, more than in any other state in the USA. But they also rely on the soil resources, there are tribes who are very rich thanks to their oil resources. Natural resources After 1905 deposits of lead and zinc in the Tri-State Mining District made the Quapaws of Ottawa County some of the richest Indians of the USA. Zinc mines also left hazardous waste that still poisons parts of their lands. The Osages became known as the world's richest Indians because their “head right” system distributed the royalties from their “underground reservation” equally to the original allottees. The Osage's territory was full of oil. Gaming revenues The Chickasaw are today the richest tribe in Oklahoma thanks to their Casinos they make a lot of profit. On their website you can read : “From Bank2, Bedre Chocolates, KADA and KYKC radio stations and the McSwain Theatre to the 13 gaming centers, travel plazas and tobacco stores, the variety and prosperity of the Chickasaw Nation's businesses exemplifies the epitome of economic success!”. The Comanche Tribe derives revenue from four casinos. The Comanche Nation Casino in Lawton features a convention center and hotel and has a surface of 45,000 square feet. The others are the Red River Casino at Devol north of the Red River, and two small casinos : Comanche star casino east of Walters and Comanche Spur Casino near Elgin. Enlargements of the casinos are planned . There are smoke shops and convenience stores in the casinos.

  • WORDS Emily Pero
    Artists / Dane Lovett WORDS Emily Pero Dane Lovett is worthy of a crush. An art crush is like any crush. You kind of lose it. You smile, fumble over things, maybe trip over non-existent objects while trying to get closer to the source. Dane Lovett’s work will do this to you. You want to be near it. You want to own it. Each one like a beautiful still life celebration of those piles we all have stacked round our homes – music, nature and more music – it’s perfect sound on canvas. Since graduating with a Fine Arts degree in 2004, Lovett swiftly won the Qantas Spirit of Youth Award in 2005 and a mentorship with the Museum of Contemporary Art Director Elizabeth Ann Macgregor. From here, the art prizes have ensued and expanded into his love of music, with Lovett winning an ARIA Music Award in 2006 for Best Cover Art for Eskimo Joe’s album Black Fingernails, Red Wine. Lovett’s style has evolved and changed over the last few years. A self-confessed music nerd with no specific musical talent, Lovett’s new work is filled with the things he fans out over – cassette tapes, synthesisers and CDs juxtaposed with unique interjections of plant matter. Think New Order meets pot plant paraphernalia. Think Beastie Boys, Jungle Brothers, blank burnt albums, Phil Spector, mix tapes, Roland synths, instrumental rock, old forms, new forms, visions of future sound, albums that changed the course of music all stacked high on one another with the plant life making the music feel alive.
