The entire construction for Siouxie, my Belgrave Lantern from a few years ago. She was a backpack. She's since been beheaded, as she was never really made to survive too long - I'm hoping to rework her into a two headed lyrebird. Thinking of giving her a tail that's a visual soundbar display.

3/7/23.

Ron Rude (Belgrave/Melbourne) was part of a vibrant Australian post-punk scene in the late 70s/early 80s. Actually, there is an excellent compilation that captures this - it was released by Chapter Music in 2001 - and it contains "Piano, Piano" from Ron Rude (it also contains songs by The Apartments and The Pits just to name a few).

Ron Rude sounds like a product of their time that also somehow retains a current feel. You can't help but see parallels to The Stooges, Lou Reed and David Bowie. You can also hear Orange Juice and Lloyd Cole in the vocals. And finally, I can't help but hear a little Mac DeMarco.

This is being released Sorcerer Records, a reissue label based in Melbourne.

RAILWAY BRIDGE: BELGRAVE, MELBOURNE. 1947

Belgrave is today an outer eastern suburb of Melbourne, at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, about 36 kms from the city.

This 77 year old shot looks in a north westerly direction towards the township over the old single lane bridge that once crossed the rail line below. The photo is taken from the Belgrave/Gembrook Road.

At the time of this photo the bridge crossed over the old narrow gauge (2’6”) rail line that ran from Upper Ferntree Gully, where the broad gauge suburban line from Melbourne terminated, through Belgrave to Gembrook.

The line was one of four such narrow gauge lines operated by Victoria Railways. It opened in December 1900.

In 1962 the broad gauge rail line was extended to Belgrave with a new station built below the bridge on the left side. The old narrow gauge ‘Puffing Billy’ line still operates from its old Belgrave station on the right hand side of the bridge.

I'm a dumbass, I misheard 'Belgrade' (the Serbian town) on the news as 'Belgrave' (Australian town)

...why are most of the really good pictures of Belgrave online super old anyway? This has to be from around when I first entered primary school or something, since the Shell has been abandoned for years, and Subway's been gone for a while now too (currently replaced by a dumpling shop)

This book shop and cinema are still there at least, and I'd personally recommend the latter (yes I've been there a ...few times)

Similar angles at 2 different 21st century time periods (I haven't been to Belgrave in a while, but last time I was here it looked the same as it did in 2019)

Jack's Therapy Game (From the beginning: -> here)

After Jack cared for the horses and Lou prepared the room for Jack, they went over to the Pub. Jack didn't get kicked out like Vlad and no one asked about his 'status'.

Jack: "About the money for the room and stuff... I'll get a job right tomorrow morning. I heard the sculptor is hiring." Lou: "Oh no, no one works for the sculptor." Jack: "I don't have problems to take my shirt off." Lou: "It's not this. We don't talk about it. Don't you worry, you can help me at the shop."

Lou noticed Jack's rash. Lou: "Isn't this painful? I've heard about this. Did your Alpha die? If you don't get this treated you might die too, you know that, don't you?" Jack: "No, he didn't die - it's uhm... complicated and yes..." Now that he thinks about it, it doesn't hurt! He didn't even pay attention since he was so stressed about being locked up. But as far as he remembers, it didn't hurt since he entered the game!

Jack: "I'm fine :3 So, are these your horses?" Lou: "No, Lunatic belongs to no one but he kind of lives here and Val is the horse of my best friend from the neighboring village. But he's here all the time because they are deeply in love." Jack: "Is that so." Does that mean this friend is NPC Jeb? Well, since Ji Ho and some of their other friends are also here as NPCs, it would make sense. Jack hopes he can talk to one of them soon to see how 'real' their NPC versions are. Tiny Can maybe does this so they feel comfortable in their therapy.

Even the Queen and the Prince Caleb are here tonight. And he's seen NPC Leander, Barfolomew and: Greg -.- But the Queen and Greg don't sit together. Like at the Arena. That's good news! Jack: "Is the Queen married?" Lou: "No. And she's only the Queen here until the Prince gets married to Princess Jihovere." Princess Jihovere? Caleb and Ji Ho will get married here? OMG! And the Queen will not stay the Queen here so his chances to hit on her just increased! (Omg Jack!) ('Jihovere' refers to 'Guinevere', the beloved wife of King Arthur.)

Jack and Lou had a good time at the pub and Jack has a good feeling about this therapy. For once he can try to act like a 'more normal' person in this world and see what he could achieve. No one here knows about his disorders and hardships. And here he can experience what his life could be if he overcame/worked on some of them. He's fully aware that he can't be 'healed' and he knows that his friends love him and worry about him and try to protect him. But he also gets the feeling that this keeps him from prospering. He'll talk about this with the others when he's back. But he's going to stay a little longer because he really likes Lou and they have so much fun together. And the pain is gone. Jack hadn't felt this good for a very long time.

'Everybody here is out of sight They don't bark, and they don't bite They keep things loose, they keep 'em tight Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight Everybody's feelin' warm and bright It's such a fine and natural sight Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight You can't dance and stay uptight It's a supernatural delight Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight'
