New Album, Music Inspirations, And Lana Del Rey

Jun 14, 2024 | junkee.com | Ky Stewart

LAUREL is not what you expect. And that’s how she likes it. Since 2014, when she was a leading indie-pop darling, LAUREL has been slowly defining who she wants to be. PALPITATIONS is her arrival. Her final form, so to speak. The sweeping sophomore album is an adrenaline shot to the system. One moment you feel like you’re running through an open plain towards your lover during sunset and the next it’s 3am at the club.

House of the Dragon is returning for its highly anticipated second season on June 17. That’s the good news. The bad news is that Season 1 ended all the way back in October of 2022. Since then, I have forgotten everything that happened on the show and everyone it happened to. I barely remember the name of the show.
Racism, Nuclear, And The Labor Party

Jun 12, 2024 | junkee.com | Ky Stewart

At the end of last month, we asked how you were feeling about Australian politics right now. The responses were grim: 89 percent of you didn’t feel inspired by politics; 83 percent had no confidence that the Labor Government would address your issues; 93 percent felt unrepresented. That didn’t sound good, so we decided to take your concerns to the seat of power. That’s right, Junkee went down to Parliament House. During Budget Week, no less.

What's Wrong With Australian Politics At The Moment?

Jun 7, 2024 | junkee.com | Ky Stewart

When I saw the video of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese making Sarah Williams, an anti-sexual violence advocate, cry, I was horrified. What the fuck was he doing? The man in charge of the nation was making a woman cry at a women’s safety rally protesting the murder of 43 women by men. How ironic. Albanese brushed off the controversy by saying it was an “emotional” day, declining to apologise to Sarah, but “wishing her well”. I was furious. It was yet another letdown from Labor.
Preparing For VIVID’s Grand Silky Ball

Jun 7, 2024 | junkee.com | Ky Stewart

Watching the House of Silky at a ball is like experiencing pure queer euphoria. Birthed by queer and trans people of colour, Ballroom has been a place of resistance, liberation, joy, and power since the 1970s. Starting in Harlem, New York, it continues to provide a safe space and home to queer people across the globe. Ballroom took off in Australia in 2014 when the House of Slé was created by Bhenji Ra. They were the main House before Xander Khoury, Kitana, and Mira started the House of Silky.

As Far As I'm Concerned, Electric Fields Won Eurovision

May 23, 2024 | junkee.com | Lia Kim

South Australian electronic duo Zaachariaha Fielding and Michael Ross headed to Sweden to represent Australia at Eurovision… and lost. But not in my mind. Despite annual confusion over Australia’s presence at Eurovision, it’s still an immensely exciting event. And this year was particularly exciting, with Electric Fields’ expansive dance track ‘One Milkali (One Blood)’ sung partly in Yankunytjatjara, making it Australia’s First Nations heritage debut at Eurovision.
