INTRO:bang In the beginning there was nothing. Not even time. Then Bang. Apparently that’s how it all started and given our species’ love of explosives, it’s probably how it’ll finish. A puff of smoke and a greasy smudge on time’s lap. Then end. Or, if you have a slightly more optimistic point of view, the bang is just the sound of a champagne cork bouncing off a lampshade in a room full of good folk sharing a common love of life. Boom, bang, pop, crash; the sounds of chaos, excitement and often the start of something new. Spring has arrived and this month The Source looks forward to a

new season where biking, hiking and socialising in the sun take centre stage – now’s the time to reclaim your favourite haunts before the summer hoards arrive. Heaps on this month – check out the What’s On guide for the full run down. Spring’s here and it’s banging...

SURVIVAL BELT: A Fashion

Essential for Adventure Lovers This simple and classic belt is designed with the zombie apocalypse survivor in mind. The buckle is made from durable glass-filled nylon and features a Ferrocerium fire starter rod, a removable flashlight and a multi-tool. At a closer look, that multi-tool is integrated inside the buckle using a folding, linerlocked mechanism made of heat-treated AUS-8 stainless steel. The flashlight requires 4 LR621 batteries. The strap is made from a space age nylon composite and will probably survive the next ice-age. Available from all good adventurefashion-survivalist-paranoia-tech stores. Or you could try ebay...

LIFE SPRAY This stuff could save your life out there this summer. It’s a reflective spray you can apply to your clothes, shoes, dog or bike to make you visible to cars when running, walking, biking or motorcycling in the dark. When headlights hit an area you’ve sprayed, tiny beads reflect and light up like a road sign. But the spray is invisible in daylight. This stuff doesn’t show up in daylight but at night it reflects car headlights from over 200m away.

TATTOO OF THE MONTH

Hybrid Minds

True to their name, Hybrid Minds are the musical alchemists of liquid drum and bass. Mixing sounds you can eat, sleep, rave and repeat to. They’d be a great choice if you were stuck on a desert island for the rest of your life. There are messages in the madness too. In their track ‘Music Talks’ from first album ‘Mountains’, Hybrid Minds’ philosophy is woven through the melody: “What you want is to deliver material that you don’t have to say one word. They hear it and they like it. That’s what I try and do every time.” One half of the DJ duo, UK-born Matt Lowe, is finishing his NZ tour in Queenstown, before hopping over to Australia to share a sound that has over a million hits on Spotify (the other half, Josh, is currently touring the set in Europe). Sourcette Rosie caught up with Matt just before he lit up QT’s largest music venue, Loco Cantina… Why DJing? I love making music. I was originally a music producer, then I met Josh in Croatia. We had similar ideas, so four years ago we started Hybrid Minds. Describe your sound in three words: Emotional, acoustic, soulful. Why’s it different? A lot of musicians use fake instruments these days, we

focus on mixing real piano and violin sounds with original artists, to create a sound that really resonates with people. What’s your perfect gig? To be honest, all you need is a good crowd and good equipment! Let the sound do the rest. Best city to play so far? Vienna – they really love drum and bass! Ok, you have a super power. What is it? (Laughs mischievously) X-Ray vision. What’s the future for Hybrid Minds? We’re doing a lot of touring at the moment – Josh is in Croatia tomorrow whilst I’m onto Australia this week. And we’re working on our second album, we’ve just released the first single, Touch, featuring Tiffani Juno (already 100k hits on Spotify). If a girl asks you to impress her on a date, what do you do? Take her to McDonalds. I’m a real Prince Charming.

music interview

interview By BETHANY G. ROGERS

5 minutes with Graeme James

Loop pedal artist and multi-instrumentalist Graeme James has been pounding the pavements since 2012. Layering violin, guitar, bass, baritone ukulele, percussion and beatboxing, Graeme weaves the instruments into unexpected versions of well-known tunes. He’s the modern equivalent of the one-man-band (of Mary Poppins fame, he sometimes wears a flat cap too) and late last month, Graeme released an album of original music; News from Nowhere. He’ll be showcasing his original music at The Sherwood on 7th October. Tell us about News from Nowhere. It’s my first album of original music. I’ve released a few cover albums and really got to practice the technical skills and clear vision needed for recording. It’s a happy, honest and thoughtful album about life’s spectrum of emotions. I got rid of all my cathartic, whingy songs some time ago and have really disciplined myself when it comes to song writing. How did you get into busking? In 2010, me and some friends went to Gisborne for New Year and I happened to pick up a battery for the loop pedal. I had my gear but wasn’t planning on playing until the alternator in my car broke. Using the loop pedal and the new battery, I stood outside the local newspaper offices and busked until I had enough money to fix the car. The newspaper wrote a story on me too! How did you end up creating music with the loop pedal? Brash impulse and higher purchase.

What are the benefits of being an unsigned artist? I think it’s a better deal as you don’t require an advance, which can leave you quite broke. Everyone has been radically generous with the Kickstarter campaign, it’s enabled me to be creative and finish the album under my own steam. Technology has changed things a lot, it’s easier than ever to get your music discovered via Spotify, iTunes and social media. Music discovery is very important in the industry. What are you listening to right now? I was recently in the Unsigned Only finals, I scoped out the competition and found really good listening! I also love Holly Arrowsmith and my friend Luke Thompson has just released a nice, mellow album. 8

Hatchet Man

Boxing has never been on the radar as much as it is now we have a Queenstowner in with a fighting chance for the future. I caught up with Richie ‘Hatchet’ Hadlow, who travelled to Baku, Azerbaijan in June to fight in the Rio Olympic qualifiers (unfortunately, he didn’t qualify). In July he returned to New Zealand to claim the Light Welterweight National Title for the third time and took home the historic Jameson Belt for ‘Most Scientific Boxer’ while he was at it! Where do you come from? I lived in Auckland my whole life and moved down to QT with my girlfriend. I loved it here from the moment I arrived. I also met Stewart Mitchell (my coach) he has been an inspiring character and my mentor. He’s always looked out for me inside and outside the ring. Boxing... why not rugby? I was a rugby player as a five year old. I went to gymnastics at seven years old and later competed in the Australian Nationals. I injured my neck when I was 19, this effectively retired me from gym and I started boxing four years ago, age 24. Your trip to Baku sounds like a whirlwind of training, sleeping and fighting. What will you take from it? What will you leave there? This year was all about believing in my abilities and putting my style on whoever I fought with confidence

and forcing them to deal with me and not the other way around. Baku was a great experience for me. It was the first Muslim country I’ve travelled to. I’ll remember the helpful locals and I hope I left some Kiwiana over there. How does your job fit into all this? My job and work colleagues at Wakatipu Youth Booth have been so supportive. None of what I’ve done this year would have been possible without them. What does boxing in your future look like? I’ll be weighing up my options after a break. Possibilities of Commonwealth Games in 2018 and World Champs next year if I stay amateur. The professional game is exciting to me right now – ring walks with your own music, more rounds, points for dropping opponents and coin! 10

We all know that living in Queenstown is a unique experience; there is a reason this place is referred to as a bubble.

How string beans became green beans (an American hero story) Humans have been munching on beans for about 7000 years. They contain vitamins A, B and C, calcium, phosphorous, iron, lots of fibre AND release amino acids and folic acid. After they’re digested they help to develop red blood cells and support the nervous system. But, back in the day, string beans had strings running down the middle of them. The string was inedible and hence, a bit of a nuisance. Small children had to be employed to pull the stringy bits off and dinner would be delayed. So all-American hero Calvin N Keeney of Le Roy, New York, came to the rescue with his

green bean fingers. Born in 1849, Mr Keeney was keen on the beans and started working in his father’s bean and pea business from the age of eighteen. He dedicated his life to developing pea and bean varieties, leading some historians to hail him “One of the Greatest Seedsmen of the Twentieth Century” and “The Father of the Stringless Bean”. He developed the ‘Burpee Stringless Green Pod’ and ‘Keeney’s Rustless Golden Wax’ among other exciting bean varieties. What a guy. Celebrate his genius with a Habebes salad today…

When people really understand the Big Bang and the whole sweep of the evolution of the universe, it will be clear that humans are fairly insignificant.

Bang, oooh, ahhh!

A short history of the firework

FROM BASTILLE DAY IN FRANCE TO INDEPENDENCE DAY IN THE STATES, FROM A COLLEGE MAY BALL IN CAMBRIDGE TO NEW YEAR COUNTDOWNS, A FIREWORKS DISPLAY IS THE EPITOME OF CELEBRATION. ALL AROUND THE WORLD, WE LOVE TO MARK SPECIAL OCCASIONS WITH POPS, FIZZES AND BOOMS. BUT WHERE DID THE IDEA OF A SPARKLING NIGHT SKY ORIGINATE? WHAT MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR PARTIES TO GO OFF WITH A BANG? The origins of the attentiongrabbing firework are actually nothing to do with celebration at all. In ancient China over 2,000 years ago, their creation had the purpose of scaring away evil spirits. The practice began with the roasting of bamboo, which would explode due to it’s hollow pockets of air and send the ghosts packing. It was some time between 600 and 900 AD when Chinese alchemists accidentally manufactured an early form of gunpowder, reportedly during efforts to create an elixir for immortality. This was first stuffed in bamboo stalks and later into paper tubes and in the tenth century, the bomb was born. It wasn’t until the thirteenth century that gunpowder found its way to European and Arabian

shores. The fun side of the fiery development quickly became popular. In medieval England, firemasters studied the art form, their ‘green men’ sidekicks wearing protective caps made out of leaves and doubling as Jesters who would warm up the crowd before the displays. Many lost their lives due to misfires. It was the Italians who most embraced it, creating pyrotechnic schools in the Renaissance. They added exciting substances to create the fiery fountains and multi-coloured spark sensations we experience today. It was the Europeans who took the concept over to America, with Captain John Smith (of Pocahontas fame) throwing the first display in Jamestown in 1608, three years after the Guy Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot was foiled and Britain’s Bonfire Night was born. The rest, as they say, is history, with the planet’s biggest celebrations adopting illuminations as their principal entertainment. Despite the efforts of the Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise, which started being grumpy about it all at the turn of the twentieth century and with more environmentally-friendly fire under development, the future of the fireworks still looks bright. 16

Fossil The Triumvirate tastes awaken The waste of space While I pace a circle in the dust A mind laced With fear and pitted with rust From inertial patterns like Righteousness, anger and lust Spinning wheels in the mud formed a crust Kicked and bucked further into the Luckless muck But hey, the saviour’s out tonight Bathed in silver flame, limned in starlight Might is right and much too high for the devil’s sight But too dense, too heavy to remain childlike Insipid paradigms align in the designs of your mind The metagame alive in the desires that you try to hide behind No advance. You just wallow Can’t swallow. Choking in quicksand and slammed With the heaviest burden you can understand Burn the peat but don’t follow The acrid smoke down into the hollow That absorbs the fossilized lives Forgotten drives that disintegrate body and mind But still strive to realise Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow

ATLAS OBSCURA

book review

by Joshua Foer, Dylan Thuras and Ella Morton “I thought I had seen most of the interesting bits of the world. Atlas Obscura showed me that I was wrong…” Neil Gaiman It’s time to get off the beaten path. Inspiring equal parts wonder and wanderlust, Atlas Obscura celebrates 700 of the strangest and most curious places in the world. Talk about a bucket list: here are natural wonders – the dazzling glowworm caves in New Zealand or a Baobob Tree in South Africa that’s so large it has a pub inside. Architectural marvels, including the MC Escher-like stepwells in India to mind-boggling events, like the Baby Jumping Festival in Spain, where men dressed as devils vault over rows of squirming infants. Not to mention Turkmenistan’s 40-year hole of fire called the Gates of Hell and a weather-forecasting invention that was powered by leeches, still on display in Devon, England. ATLAS OBSCURA revels in the weird, the unexpected, the overlooked, the hidden and the mysterious. With its compelling descriptions, hundreds of photographs, surprising charts and maps for every region of the world, it’s a book to enter anywhere and will be as appealing to the armchair traveller as the die-hard adventurer.

More Bang for your Buck: The local council will soon reveal the new Mayor, as five nominees battle to get first past the post on October 8th. It’ll be a tough role, following the footsteps of great leaders; Gorren Drooper, Chive Steady and our incumbent Bless-her Van-Shrewden. Local Reporter, Feel-up Handler, informed Anti-Plastic Population (APP) that our hard-pressed Mayor will have to come up with imaginative ways of saving money if they’re to survive the next few years of the growth we’ll see in the tourist sector alongside insufficient ratepayer contributions. In a recent interview with the Council’s Thinktank ‘Blue-sky’, APP were thrilled to see a proposed number of initiatives to save resources and ratepayers’ money, including:

• ‘Share a Shower’, save water and build relationships, already piloted in some Backpackers • ‘Park and Slide’, a new take on ‘incentive parking’, ziplining from Frankton to Central Queenstown, avoiding congestion with an adrenaline rush • Edible Coffee Cups, a must for all Queenstown cafés, reducing waste and providing a meal to residents who have spent their whole budget on costly accommodation Following this, APP took to the 22

streets and asked locals and visitors what they believed were the major problems faced by our town.

it essential to recycle properly, having nine receptacles provided …including one dedicated just to designer clothing.”

Ms Crystal Ball, a long-term local, stated that she had “seen more litter than ever before with bins brimming over and congestion has caused utter chaos; in the future this will be tenfold if we don’t act more sustainably now.”

“Whoever takes the helm,” said Mrs Olive Buzzwords from QLDC’s ‘Blue-sky’ group, “together, we are committed to navigating the council ship safely through the turbulent waters of the next three years. As a council we intend to employ blue-sky thinking in the creative process whilst collaborating with all.”

Two visitors, Ima Goodlay (NL) and Dan Saul Knight (UK) who’d met at Base Backpackers when taking advantage of the pilot ‘Share a Shower’ scheme, were shocked at the lack of recycling. Dan stating; “In Puddleton St John’s, where I reside, we think

WTF? Chicken tonight? In 2014 a Venezuelan woman with cocaine hidden in her breast implants was arrested at Madrid airport after arriving from Colombia. The behaviour of the supposed tourist raised the suspicions of narcotics agents. Female officers conducted a body search of the 43-year-old woman and discovered certain irregularities and deformations in both breasts. The suspect confessed that she was carrying implants with cocaine inside. The woman was taken to hospital where the implants were removed and found to contain 1.7kg of the drug. 25

WHISKEY BUSINESS Brought to you by the team at No5

INGREDIENTS 60ml walnut infused Jim Beam Rye 10ml Amaro Montenegro 2 dashes of Peychaud’s Bitters Splash of Green Fairy Absinthe Sugar cube Ice sphere

Absinthe as a rinse. In a new glass add sugar cube saturated with Peychauds Bitters. Fill with ice and slowly add the Rye Whiskey stirring down like an Old Fashioned. Throw away the ice from the Absinthe rinsed glass and add the ice sphere. Strain the cocktail over the sphere and serve.

THE MUST HAVE

The WalkCar

The WalkCar allows you to get around urban environments without the exhaustion that can occur from excessive walking. It is light, fits into a small bag and packs a battery that can last for nearly 7.4 hours when travelling at a speed of just over 6 miles per hour. It is highly manoeuvrable and hills, pavements and small bumps are no object. Unlike electric cars and the hover board, the WalkCar is set to be affordable when it is released, with an estimated price tag of $800 US. 36

Hallowe’en How To…

Want to scare the s*** out of your housemates this Hallowe’en but don’t know how? Lucky for you, we meet the one man in Queenstown who’s made thousands of innocent people scream. Simon Smith set up Fear Factory just three years ago. “The most important thing to learn is this: not everyone is scared of the same thing.” He says “We find out what people are most afraid of as soon as they enter.” He’s not kidding. Since the haunted house opened over 10,000 people have shouted ‘chicken’ – a safe word that stops the show. “We’ve seen it all in the Fear Factory. Grown men cry, people crawl on the floor or curl up into balls in the corner. A woman even fainted once – we had to carry her out the maze and lie her down in reception.” Well that would have been comforting for those waiting to go in. But how do they do it? What does it take to (literally) make someone pee their pants? We find out… Best mate-scaring make-up? A burn victim always freaks people out, the whole flaky skin and white eyes is really effective. We use latex and silicone but it can take up to 4 hours to do! And if you don’t have 4 hours? Dark eyes, bloody mouth and pale skin. Can’t go wrong!

Favourite customer to scare? Ed Sheeran completely lost it – he couldn’t finish and yelled chicken for it to stop! Any awkward moments? We get a lot of people peeing their pants. At least once a month. Okay, you have 5 minutes to make an emergency Hallowe’en costume at home, go: • Get some old clothes and shred them up • Use soot from an exhaust pipe for hollow eyes • Find flour for your face • Mix chocolate sauce and red food dye for blood • Oatmeal is great for vomit if you want to go the extra mile • Mess up your hair and Voila! Instant killer zombie! Any last words? Whatever you do, never cut holes in a white sheet and go as a ghost. For all of you thinking of going as a cheap Casper this Hallowe’en, you’ve been warned.

Did You Know? • When you die there are companies that will turn your ashes into fireworks so that you can literally ‘go out with a bang’. • Replace the W in the questions Where? What? and When? with a T and you have the answers. • In 1912 Franz Reichelt invented the first wearable parachute for pilots. Instead of testing it on a dummy, he tested it on himself from the Eiffel Tower. It failed and he died instantly.

ARIES - You don’t need fun to have alcohol. TAURUS - Underachievers are capable of much less than you think.

Physicists are working on the Big Bang and one day they may or may not solve it. Richard Dawkins

GEMINI - Your life is an open book - but poorly written and you die at the end. CANCER - I’d love to have a deep meaningful discussion with you but I’m not that good at emojis. LEO - Being misunderstood is an art. You should open a gallery. VIRGO - When you said we should go for drinks, I didn’t know you meant, like, together. LIBRA - Don’t worry, you WILL be able to do karate if you’re ever in a fight. SCORPIO - Any sandwich is a panini if you sit on it. SAGITTARIUS - If you took the time to be embarrassed by your mistakes you’d never get anything done.

• The average American high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s. • Giant lily pads on the Amazon River can grow up to 6 feet in diameter and support up to 100 lb in weight.

CAPRICORN - Mirror mirror on the wall, why do all my selfies look dopey? AQUARIUS - I’m not ignoring you, I’m being mysterious. PISCES - Put your shoes on before your pants as a reminder that life ain’t easy, 42

Make a splash Queenstown’s canyons. They’ll help you avoid the infamous Queenstown crocodiles and guide you safely over the edge of a cliff… attached to a rope. This time of year the native plants are coming back with a vengeance and the water level is high enough to have a really good splash around in. Oh - and in case you were wondering – sliding along a waterfall on your bum is way more fun and a lot kinder on the derrière than sliding along the ice after another snowboard-related tumble. There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it. Alfred Hitchcock

THE SUN IS RISING, THE SKI FIELDS ARE CLOSING AND ALL YOUR SNOWBOARDING INJURIES ARE FINALLY STARTING TO CLEAR UP. SPRING IS THE EXHALATION AFTER A BUSY WINTER, THAT SLIGHTLY QUIETER MOMENT BEFORE THE SILLY SEASON KICKS OFF AND WE ALL DRINK TOO MUCH AT THE OFFICE PARTY. From snowy mountains to crystal clear water, Spring is the perfect season to slide off the ski pants, slip on a wetsuit and go canyoning. Canyoning is the sport of travelling through canyons by ziplining, abseiling, sliding, jumping and climbing – and the folks at Queenstown Canyoning can show you the ropes. Operating since 1998, they’re experts in plummeting into the bright blue waters of

Arrowtown Holistic Fair There’s a lot of sceptics out there, possibly because there’s a few fraudsters out there too, what do you think about that? This is the New World and New Earth. The process of Spiritual awakening has begun - great numbers of people are aware of the new consciousness energies. It’s important to have a pure heart and practice it in your daily life. Spiritualism to me is my passion, desire, much gratitude, compassion, deep love and simplicity. Why did you decide to start the Arrowtown Holistic Fair? Spirit decided for me. Suddenly one day, I just knew what to do, where to go and who to see. With enthusing and a deep enjoyment in my heart, I felt enormous energy behind me, like an arrow that is moving towards the target and I’ve enjoyed the journey. Spirit works in a mysterious way. Your top three reasons we should go to the fair… 1 - To experience and learn more about spiritualism. 2 - To meet people from all walks of life. 3 - Because Spring in Arrowtown is time for new beginnings!

FROM MATARIKI AND WINTER PARTIES TO LUMA AND JAZZFEST, THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT GOING ON IN THE WAKATIPU BASIN. THIS MONTH, THE SOURCE CAUGHT UP WITH JOSEPHINE LITIA, ORGANISER OF THE ARROWTOWN HOLISTIC FAIR. THE FAIR BRINGS SPIRITUALISTS, CLAIRVOYANTS, CARD READERS AND MORE ALL TO THE ARROWTOWN ATHENAEUM HALL EVERY FEW MONTHS; IT’S A TREASURE TROVE OF DISCOVERY AND THE NEXT ONE IS ON SUNDAY 9TH OCTOBER. You’re a spiritual healer, what does that mean? It is the highest form of Spirit working through a healer. It is not the healer who heals, it is the Spirit. What are the important attributes to being a healer? To know thyself, walk the walk and talk the talk of a healer’s life. It’s about giving and receiving, giving love and gaining love. But before giving to anyone else, we must first learn to give to ourselves. Until we’ve learnt and experienced the art of giving to ourselves, how do we know how much there is of us to give to others? You never stop learning and growing. I thank God for the Divine gift of healing, which he bestows on me. 50
