*Disclaimer – philthy’s suffering from technical difficulties at the moment for X time interval. Most of what i get is from the amazing melbourne art openings calendar & three thousand. Fuck. Youze can do it yerselves you lazy bastards… philth’s too busy sobbing over existential shit. Which means it needs diversions like this more than ever. I spose there is philthosophy on twitter, but that’s pretty shit (on purpose) too. Philth’ll get back to it soon, it swears!
