Sin gets naughty with a Uniform theme night to get everyone in the mood to party like when we were in the motherland.
Dj’s Jon Madd and Smut are prepping all their best music for the night so get ready, get dressed and be set to party with us.
It will be a killer mix of Electro, Eighties, Industrial and all the things that fell in between the cracks.
Doors open from 10pm and we go till late.

Sin and Spank. It just rolls off the tongue. Kinda goes naturally together.
Well on the 9th of April we plan to party it up and invite any Spanker’s to come Sin with us at Bar Open.
If you have a stamp from Spank you can wander around the corner to Sin and we will let you in for free. Sounds good right!
The wunderbah Sin Dj’s will be crankin out a great party mix of IDM, Electro, Eighties and everything else (and if they aren’t then go and request it!). Doors open from 10pm and entry is $10 (if you haven’t to Spank first).
Go and say howdy to the super friendly bar staff as they can whip you up something will make your tastebuds explode.
We plan to go extra late for this one so get on down and join us for a stomping good time.
Remember the entrance to Sin is via the rear laneway.

I don’t know if you followed this particular little saga, but thanks to some of our ridiculously out of date laws regarding obscenity, a man that simply wanted to screen a pointlessly violent, homoerotically pornographic film that was a travesty against god, nature, man and quality cinematography has now become vilified, nay, crucified by “The System.”

It all began back in July, 2010 as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival. Richard Moore, the director for MIFF received a letter Classification Australia that Bruce LaBruce (a man that should be granted honourary Australian citizenship for his name alone) “Ed Woodian” film L.A. Zombie was not going to be granted classification.

Things were looking up for intellectual snobs such as myself that like to see real arthouse films, such as animated fox puppets questioning their purpose in life. (more…)

Last year we posted an article on why being depressed is awesome. Or at the very least, why false positivity is actually bad for you.

Not only was that one of the more popular posts to make it onto here, it also had fairly decent scientific backing behind it. The kind of in depth research you’d normally expect from a Cracked article! Well, reading various psych and scientific journals has yielded a few more fantastic nuggets!

Let’s begin with the fact that people that are less optimistic often tend to make better judgment calls, that are a little bit more correct, factually speaking. “When you’re happy your brain is more likely subconsciously to base decisions on experience and knowledge you’ve already accumulated, such as stereotypes. When you’re sad, you pay more attention to new information in the outside world – a style of thinking psychologists refer to as “accommodative”. It works a bit better than that, too, if you know how to play your moods right. Happy people tend to be more gullbile, whilst negative people tend to be more convincing. I’d say it’s got something to do with the eyebrows.

And lastly, as it turns out, being an optimist is likely to see you die younger. So pray tell, where do we look on the bright side of  that one, fuckers?

Of course the irony here is that the people that are supposedly deviant sexual perverts that must have reached this point in their life through massive depression and childhood abuse seem peachy fucking keen… Turns out that those that are into pain and bondage tend to be happier with themselves.

So the next time someone tells you to cheer up, happily tell them to sit on it. Sit and swivel until they squeal like a pig on a honey moon.

Frankly, I’m over the shiny, happy people. Michael Stipe has a lot to answer for, as does modern pop music. But fuck it, if you keep going through life angry all the time, you just end up like Angry Anderson, and that means hanging out with scientific credentials like these.
