Jonathan Vandenberg



Lie Down in the Light, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
Another grower from the king of alt.alt.country. See him live if you get the chance.

Campos Coffee
I recommend going to A Little on the Side to get it, the barista is great and the wait is non-existent.

Dark Chocolate and Raspberry Muffins
Bourke Street Bakery's perfect end to an early morning bike ride.
633 Bourke St, Surry Hills 2010 NSW (02) 9699 1011

The snob rips apart cycle culture every weekday morning. Bitterness served with a side of goose cheese.

Books on Fire: The Destruction of Libraries throughout History, Lucien X. Polstron.
The author's name borders on the ludicrous, but he knows his stuff about the great information depositories of yore.

Jonathan Vandenberg is mega-savvy when it books, food and the very blokey film Glengarry Glen Ross. He's the sort of guy who can convince you that a book that you think you hate is actually worth reconsidering (and then turns out to be totally right! Cf. And Then We Came To The End.) He also makes a mean midnight crepe and wants David Bazan to come to Australia.

I do not like muffins and I do not eat them. But for one exception: the rasp and choc from the Bourke St Bakery. They are truly exquiz. I'm glad they get a mention on this blog.
