Staff Picks: What Josh Sabini (Melbourne) Listens To — Monster Children

3 weeks ago | monsterchildren.com | Naz Kawakami

It’s important to remember that Monster Children isn’t a single narcissistic paranoid schizophrenic whispering to themselves in front of a laptop all day, but a group of anywhere from five to fifteen narcissistic paranoid schizophrenics depending on who is or isn’t in a k-hole. And because there are so many of us, all with different styles and tastes, there is a lot of conflict in email chains and text threads and bar booths. ‘Kelly Slater is a God!’ someone will yell.
This Month’s Do’s And Don’t’s To Be Less Shit At Going Out — Monster Children

4 weeks ago | monsterchildren.com | Naz Kawakami

Last month, I told a story about how I went and saw my friend’s band play in Manhattan, New York. I took some mushrooms and had some beers. It was good. I was among friends. I was happy. I pushed my way up to the front to be with people I love and dance to songs that I knew well. Arriving wedged at the front, I began to move and shake, and this infuriated the people around me.
Listen: A Monster Children Valentine’s Day — Monster Children

2 months ago | monsterchildren.com | Naz Kawakami

I have loved love since I was a kid. Romance has been something of a dominating force since I first laid eyes on Michelle Pachecko from across the room, coloring the leaves a perfect green in the third grade. I heard through the grapevine that she held hands with Darius at recess and I never recovered. However, that doesn’t detract from the sentiment, nor does it lessen the intensity with which I and everyone at this terribly forlorn publication adores any opportunity to romanticize anything.
What We Are Listening To: MC’s New York Office #18(?) — Monster Children

2 months ago | monsterchildren.com | Naz Kawakami

In 2012, I was seventeen years old, turning eighteen. It was a magical time, riddled with violence, drug use, insecurity, almost-sex, betrayal, and indecision. See? Magic. I was peak-shithead then, but I got better.
A Photographer You Should Know: Steven Stinson — Monster Children

2 months ago | monsterchildren.com | Naz Kawakami

How much of your career do you think you owe to the Olympus Stylus? So, alright, people always say it’s not the camera it’s the photographer; I think that that is fucking bullshit, I think it is 100% the camera. I also want to shout out Evan Mock, because we’d go out and I noticed how close he would get to people to take their photos. You know how people are shy about it and stand twenty feet back? Evan gets in people’s faces. I always liked his photos, and so I tried to do that, too.
This Month’s Do’s And Don’t’s To Make Nightlife Less Shit — Monster Children

Last week, I went and saw my friend’s band play in Manhattan, New York. I took some mushrooms and had some beers. It was good. I was among friends. I was happy. I pushed my way up to the front to be with people I love and dance to songs that I knew well. Arriving wedged at the front, I began to move and shake, and this infuriated the people around me. I was screamed at by a guy in a red beanie who was holding his girlfriend from behind, standing perfectly still, completely unaffected by the music.
And The Winner Is… — Monster Children

2 months ago | monsterchildren.com | Naz Kawakami

In case you missed it, for something like the second or third year in a row, we held our Monster Children Is ___ contest, where we asked our beloved audience to fill in the blank. Best blank-filler wins some MC gear plus some random crap from our editor Naz’s apartment. As with every year, it is proven to us once again that we love you for your effort, but love and effort doesn’t yield skill, and you are all bad at writing. Truly. I mean, horrible. Leave the wordy stuff to us.
Juliette Lacome’s Thoughts — Monster Children

Jan 22, 2025 | monsterchildren.com | Naz Kawakami

Following the surgical removal of a bone tumor last year, Juliette Lacome is back in the water. It is a daunting task to return to the sea following any sort of injury or surgery and requires an extraordinary amount of grace and patience. Luckily for us, Lacome has both. Welcome back, Juliette, we are happy to see you back in the waves.
In Heaven, Everything Is Fine — Monster Children

Jan 21, 2025 | monsterchildren.com | Naz Kawakami

This interview originally appeared in issue #50. words by jessica hundley. David Lynch’s studio is a sleek concrete fortress embedded deep in the vertical bedrock of a Hollywood hillside. The space consists of a main tower, rising grey and clean, and a scattering of outbuildings, all connected by a meandering, maze-like path lined with succulents and sage. It is his ‘set-up’, the kind any creative needs in order to fully explore a range of expression.
There’s No Place Like It On Earth — Monster Children

Jan 13, 2025 | monsterchildren.com | James Royce

Every day, once a day, I think it’s incredibly important to take a moment to tell yourself, “You know what? This is actually, really, quite nice.” It doesn’t have to be anything major. Don't overthink it, don't plan it, just appreciate it. It’s good mental practice. The way the early-afternoon Spring sun feels when it's hitting your skin in the carpark while you’re changing after a long surf.
