As odd as it feels to say, there comes a time when a city must take on a new corporate identity; one that identifies with the progress and diversity of it’s people. The Melbourne City Council recently chatted with Melburnians regarding what they wanted the City of Melbourne to aspire to. The replies were that they wanted to be bold, inspirational and sustainable. According to the city council, “the design is multifaceted, representing the diversity of our community and the services we deliver. It will become synonymous with the 24-hour vibrant city we have become and will be immediately recognisable as the City of Melbourne.” Peep the video for the new design above, pretty sweet.

Melbourne Appreciation Week

Melbourne never ceases to surprise me with new innovative music from Architecture in Helsinki to Cut Copy to The Avalanches. This week we will be diving head first into the Melbourne music scene to see what treasures we can dig up.

Let’s start with a little of The Avalanches. Gimix is a single 45 minute track that was originally a cassette the band sold at shows to combat all of the bootlegs being sold of the unfinished album and contains a lot of the same material. Look out for samples of Bob Dylan and The Beatles.
