Feature Video: Dylan Atlantis ft. FRIDAY* - Thought You'd Know By Now
Directed by Have You Stopped Growing's Rejjie Fanning and Ariel Riley, the clip for 'Thought You'd Know By Now' depicts a collage of vignettes which centre figuratively around the premise and feeling of being at the end of a relationship. 'This song is an ode to reluctantly letting go' Dylan explains. 'The music video shows that through certain shots such as ice melting, it's the slow deterioration of something that used to be solid. My verse also dives into that feeling of reluctancy, and explains the willingness to protect oneself even though it's a painful healing process.' Melting ice, overwatered plants, squashed fruit and burnt down cigarettes. Directors Rejjie and Ariel explain 'Almost every shot is an allusion to a relationship deteriorating, but we used Australiana as the setting. Also it's pretty funny that we actually got 170 peaches for that scene in the car park. It was so hot that day they were actually cooking on the road!'
FRIDAY* (a.k.a. Fabian Odame) adds that his verse on the track is only a few lines 'because I'm laying down the situation down as plainly as possible, with barely any metaphor or simile. I wanted to depict the blunt reality of listening to your head instead of your heart, for the sake of self preservation. I'm a big fan of contrast so I love how the lyrics sound paired with the bright, off the wall, semi surreal visuals of the music video.'

Iconic Mr Squiggle items on show at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra
Children's imaginations ran wild when a man from the moon with a pencil for a nose began to squiggle. Mr Squiggle lit up TV screens for 40 years — and now, decades after the kids' program last aired, the National Museum of Australia in Canberra is displaying hundreds of iconic Mr Squiggle items. The exhibit includes creator Norman Hetherington's artworks, scripts, and puppets. Hetherington operated and voiced the blue-haired, floppy, pencil-nosed puppet, with the role a perfect marriage of his skills as a cartoonist and puppeteer. Nineties kids will remember Mr Squiggle's sidekicks grumpy Blackboard, Bill Steamshovel and Gus the Snail. There was also Miss Rebecca, the daughter of Norman Hetherington and the show's last host. "The museum has done such an amazing job of collating it and restoring bits and pieces that needed a little bit of attention," Rebecca Hetherington said. Ms Hetherington says she is thrilled to see younger generations in awe of her late father's work. She recalls her early experiences with Mr Squiggle in her family home. "But, of course, along came the grandchildren and they're allowed to play with all the puppets," she added with a laugh. She says her youngest son, Tom, looks set to carry on the family's legacy as he has developed a "love of puppetry". The ABC's Mr Squiggle and Friends first aired in 1959. It was one of Australia's longest-running children's shows and prompted many children to first pick up a crayon. The show involved input from audiences, as children from around the country would send in their doodles and the host would place them on Mr Squiggle's grumpy blackboard to be transformed. The program received around 10,000 squiggles. The museum's interactive elements allow children to squiggle on screens, offering a new generation a chance to make characters out of what might first appear to be abstract markings. NMA curator Sophoe Jensen says many people are familiar with Mr Squiggle, but few would know the many other lively characters Hetherington fashioned. There are camels in hats, turtles playing ukuleles and a shrimp with a tuba. And extensive behind the scenes work took place to examine and preserve each item. Museum conservators retouched paint and sourced material where necessary, with plans in place to limit light exposure. The conservators even made hundreds of cushions to support the puppets while in storage. Ms Jensen says she hopes Hetherington's flare can inspire creativity in museum-goers. "[Visitors are] going to leave having a bit more of an understanding of the breadth of Norman Hetherington's world," Ms Jensen said. Ms Jensen notes the digital age offers children more TV programs and characters to choose from than ever before. But she says, unlike Hetherington's work, modern shows are usually two dimensional, with puppetry a rare medium. Mr Squiggle and Friends: The Creative World of Norman Hetherington is free at the National Museum of Australian, open until mid-October.

Mothers' group having a ‘fabulous time' with brilliant filly She's An Artist who returns to Flemington as Creswick Stakes favourite
She's An Artist has transformed a school mothers' social WhatsApp group chat into a resource for racing replays and insights as a cohort of largely first-time owners delight in their unbeaten filly. Sursum Corda, a 20-strong female syndicate, will be in full voice Saturday as She's An Artist returns to Flemington favourite to win the Listed AR Creswick Stakes (1200m). The flashy chestnut with striking baldy face roared to an emphatic victory at Headquarters last start. The brilliant performance followed a five-length Bendigo romp on debut. She's An Artist, trained by Ciaron Maher, has won her two starts to date by a combined 8¾ lengths and done so in electric time. Sursum Corda member Megan Burges has watched the Flemington replay 'probably 100 times'. 'We'll be there on Saturday making a lot of noise, I'd imagine, hopefully anyway,' Burges said. 'We had boys who finished school together two years ago, when we were getting towards the end of the school year we said wouldn't it be great to find a way to stay in touch. 'It was a bit of a joke at the start, I said 'why don't we buy into a racehorse' and then it got legs. 'We spoke to Louis (Le Meteyer of Astute Bloodstock) and the first horse he brought to us was She's An Artist … it's been a fabulous experience. 'The girls have gone from knowing literally nothing (about racing) to buying Best Bets and talking about sectionals and race planning, how the track is, is it going to dry out for Saturday et cetera. 'I got on a plane two weeks ago, so my phone was turned off for an hour, and when I turned it back on there was 27 unread WhatsApp messages. 'Every newsagency in the local area has now sold out of Best Bets.' Sursum Corda own a 20 per cent share in the filly. Astute Bloodstock purchased She's An Artist for $175,000 out of the 2023 Premier Yearling Sale. The Trapeze Artist filly showed early speed and promise but needed time to develop. Sydney-based managing owner Le Meteyer will be glued to a screen from Deauville, France on Saturday (AEST). 'I've actually got big FOMO (fear of missing out) not being there,' Le Meteyer said. 'I'll be watching … she's $1.60 favourite, the only thing I'm a little bit concerned with is the two week back-up, she's pulled up beautifully, worked really well. 'She's only little and the two weeks backup could be a bit testing for her, Ciaron wouldn't race her if she wasn't right and she's a filly with a lot of talent. 'The market says it's a one-horse race, I don't know about that, I've got a lot of respect for a couple of the others, but look, it's very exciting.' Le Meteyer has enjoyed great success with boutique Astute Bloodstock, Group 1 winners include Harlem and Amelia's Jewel, and loves sharing the ownership ride. 'When you see the joy a good horse can bring to people it's quite infatuating,' Le Meteyer said. 'There's probably a total of 30 owners in the horse and they're all having an amazing time. 'The banter and the chat, that's what racing is all about, the shared excitement and shared passion.'

Orlando Bloom's heartbreaking post amid split from Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom has alluded to having feelings of 'loneliness' amid his split from Katy Perry. The Hollywood star, 48, shared quotes on his Instagram Stories on Thursday where he appeared to share insight into his state of mind following his shock split from the international pop star. 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself,' read one of the quotes he shared with his followers. While in another post he made reference to feeling a level of 'darkness' in his life currently. 'Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness,' read the second quote. It comes just days after Bloom appeared to suggest that he was behind his split from Perry, sharing a quote on his social media that said: 'The important thing is to take that first step. Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.' It was revealed last week how the A-list couple had parted ways after nine years together. Perry, 40, is currently on her world tour and has put on a brave face despite her ongoing separation from Orlando. An emotional Perry was seen fighting back tears onstage as she thanked fans following her split. Making a heart with her fingers, Katy's voice started to crack as she addressed the crowd. 'Thank you Australia for always being there for me,' she said, clearly fighting back tears. Last week, The Sun reported how the star couple held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives. An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando. 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.' The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.' Just days after news of their break-up broke, Bloom 'made his debut as a single man' at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding.
