Wynter Gordon Interview, Instagram and 5mag

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

MUSIC:



Dave reunites with one of his most beloved upcoming singer/songwriters Wynter Gordon as she returns to Australia to launch the all important debut album: With The Music I Die.

They pair first hit it off in December when Wynter came to Australia for the first time (and into JOY studios) to promote her single 'Dirty Talk'. Since then, the song has gone #1 here with almost four times platinum sales - a success Jade will eternally attribute as the "Diff'rent Strokes bump".

Tonight, you'll hear our interview with Wynter where she discusses With The Music I Die and her definition of dance music, and opens up to Dave about how heartbreak inspired her writing.


ONLINE:



Jade checks out Instagram - the photo sharing app that comes armed with all the hipster-friendly effects that Dave wants. It basically takes the vintage concept of "instant Polaroids" snaps to a digital era where you can snap, upload and share your pictures via your iPhone.

MAGAZINES:



Could this be the future of magazines? It's the perfect marriage of Jade's love for all things digital and Dave's deep appreciation for that glossy magazine style. 5mag is "the world's first digital lifestyle magazine" bursting with interactivity, video messages and interviews and yes, it even flicks like a real magazine.

Wynter Gordon Interview, Melbourne Graffiti Art and Big Gay News

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

MUSIC:



Dave catches up with Australia's new fave debutantess of dance: Wynter Gordon! So much has happened since the last time they spoke in December - Wynter's smash 'Dirty Talk' has gone #1 (certified triple platinum sales), she's currently got five songs on our iTunes dance charts, and she's rocking festivals around the world.

Tonight you'll hear Wynter chat about the new single 'Til Death', the story behind her gay pride anthem 'Putting It Out There', and her love for Aussie men.

The full interview transcript will be posted on Dave's blog - Feed Limmy - after 10pm tonight.

CULTURE:



Behind every urbanised block in the world, there lies a little graffiti culture. Tonight, we're checking out Melbourne's graffiti art scene - where it's best found and how it adds to our city's look and identity.

ONLINE:



Jade checks out Big Gay News, a hugely popular daily podcast of LGBTI news, and talks about the impact gay focussed media has on our culture and community.

Wynter Gordon Interview, Christmas Parties and espnW

This week on Diff'rent Strokes...

MUSIC:



Dave catches up with American singer/songwriter Wynter Gordon on her first Aussie tour. The 'Dirty Talk' singer chats about her transition from R&B to dance music, getting love from music bloggers and her gay fans.

Melbourne queens, Wynter will be performing at The Pool Room tomorrow night (9 December) at The Pool Room, Ferntree Gully. Get your trashy arses there.

CULTURE:



It's that time of the year and work Christmas parties are rife, no doubt responsible for disgraceful behaviours and messed up Facebook photos. This week Jade and Dave discusses the pros and cons of letting yourself go at work events.

ONLINE:



Jade checks out ESPN's newly launched female counterpart: espnW. The new brand is said to target women with dedicated coverage of women's sports and female athletes. How do you see it? Much-needed filling of a niche market or simply a convenient exclusion of female sports content to - as one blogger calls it - a "pink ghetto"?
