Mikey
Young
does
things
the
old
fashioned
way,
because
it
works.
Guitarist
and
driving
force
behind
garage
rockers
Eddy
Current
Suppression
Ring,
Mikey's
DIY
approach
has
struck
a
chord
for
anyone
with
ears
over
the
past
couple
of
years.
Recently
taking
out
the
Australian
Music
Prize
for
Primary
Colours,
Eddy
Current
are
now
recording
their
third
album.
Apart
from
that,
Mikey
is
working
on
his
musical
side
project,
the
Ooga
Boogas,
drinking
Turkish
coffee
and
being
a
fair-weather
Pies
fan
.

You
have
to
admire
a
guy
who
breaks
down
the
boundaries
of
popular
thinking.
Well,
abstract
expressionist
Len
Lye
saw
the
boundaries,
ate
the
boundaries
and
washed
them
down
with
a
cup
of
hot,
steaming
rules.
Lye's
kaleidoscopic
vision
stretched
across
many
mediums
including
photography,
painting,
poetry,
film,
sculpture
and
hanging
out
with
Dylan
Thomas.
A
pioneer
in
experimental
art,
he
created
films
without
cameras
and
sculptures
that
moved.
His
extraordinary
career,
spanning
the
most
part
of
last
century,
is
represented
in
ACMI's
bizarre,
uplifting
exhibition
this
winter.
Until
11
October.

Centre
for
the
Moving
Image

Square,

Street,

Mikey:
I
know
bugger
all
about
art.
Lucky
I'm
surrounded
by
talented
chaps
in
my
band,
who
can
all
get
super
arty,
and
I
hang
at
art
openings
with
them.
Brendan's
last
exhibition,
at
Hell
Gallery,
I
thought
was
honestly
fantastic.
Also,
the
work
of
Martin
Bell
(last
seen
at
Don't
Come)
will
continue
to
blow
my
mind
until
the
day
I
die.

Movies
are
perfect
for
Melbourne
in
many
ways.
They
are
mostly
indoors,
for
starters.
Also,
cup
holders
are
the
right
size
for
takeaway
coffee.
But
the
Melbourne
International
Film
Festival
(MIFF)
has
struck
upon
a
third
and
vital
local
obsession
in
their
2009
program.
Punk.
Punk
Becomes
Pop:
the
Australian
Post-Punk
Underground
is
MIFF's
major
retrospective
of
Melbourne's
late
'70s
and
early
'80s
post-punk
scene.
See
films,
video
clips
and
lost
footage
of
bands
like
Essendon
Airport,
the
Models
and
Primitive
Calculators.
And,
you
can
see
Dogs
in
Space
on
the
big
screen.
From
24
July
to
9
August.
Tickets

Mikey:
I'd
be
a
liar
if
I
name
checked
anything
more
sophisticated,
but
my
favorite
film
is
still
Fast
Times
at
Ridgemont
High.
Never
gets
old
for
me.
As
far
as
music-related
films
go,
I
love
Redd
Kross
in
Desperate
Teenage
Lovedolls!
Totally
amazing
no
budget
trash
from
maybe
almost
the
best
band
ever.
Also,
Devo's
The
Truth
About
De'evolution
is
some
mighty
fine
film-making.
In
other
events
–
I'm
excited
about
the
AFL
season
because
the
pies
are
doing
well
and
I'm
a
fair
weathered
supporter
who
can't
handle
talking
about,
watching
or
acknowledging
football
when
they
are
going
sh--ty.

An
in-character
John
Cusack
once
declared
his
all-time
favourite
book
to
be
the
autobiography
Cash
by
Johnny
Cash.
Nothing
against
the
man
in
black,
but
surely
we
can
do
better
than
that!
Upstairs

The

Mikey:
Records!!!
Melbourne
is
pretty
damn
good
for
record
shops
these
days.
I
know
times
are
tough
for
that
kinda
thing,
but
for
every
shop
that
closes
down,
one
pops
up
again.
My
pick
of
the
bunch
is
Licorice
Pie
for
old
stuff
and
Missing
Link
for
new
stuff.
Both
are
full
of
rad
dudes
with
good
advice
and
good
records.
Also,
there
is
good
Turkish
coffee
down
at
Vicious
Sloth.

There
is
a
good
reason
that
none
of
us
goes
to
aerobics.
We
don't
want
to
be
seen
jiggling
around
to
the
house
hits
of
2003.
But
why
should
people
with
good
musical
taste
be
doomed
to
heart
disease?
Melbourne's
rock
headquarters
of
the
north,
Yah
Yah's,
has
come
to
the
rescue
with
rock
aerobics.
Grab
your
mouldy
Ramones
shirt,
warm
up
with
a
beer,
and
drop
some
kilojoules
to
the
sweet
sounds
of
Gunners,
Blondie
and
Zeppelin
from
7pm
every
Thursday.
For
those
about
to
rock,
Jane
Fonda
salutes
you.

Mikey:
My
favourite
venues
to
play
and
watch
are
always
the
smaller
ones.
The
Town
Hall
Hotel
in
North
Melbourne
is
definitely
a
favorite.
Otherwise,
I
like
to
meet
up
with
people
in
non-descript
bars
like
the
fabulous
Elms
Family
Hotel
on
Spring
Street.
It's
good
to
hang
with
solid
bartenders
and
old
men
and
watch
footy.
Also,
Vic's
Bar
at
the
Victoria
Hotel
on
Little
Collins
Street
is
a
fave
for
secret
meetings.
A
guaranteed
place
not
to
run
into
people
you
know,
as
it's
full
of
interstaters
going
to
sporting
events.

Mikey:
I
like
Melbourne
mainly
for
my
friends.
The
raddest
people
I've
met
in
my
life
are
here
and
that's
usually
what
makes
any
town
great.
Beyond
that,
I
am
spoilt
by
good
bands,
record
stores,
coffee,
cheap
good
food,
and
half
decent
beaches.
Special
props
go
to
the
giant
worm
on
the
way
to
Phillip
Island,
now
Wildlife
Wonderland.
The
number
one
destination
to
impress
overseas
friends.
