It’s hard to sum up sheer ruddy brilliance, but try this for size: musical, moustachioed scoops of ice cream singing in a tale of a madcap ice cream maker who went too far.

Sometimes descriptions don’t do projects justice – and anyone hearing about a collaborative stop motion sculpture might be forgiven for switching off a bit. But wait – Möbius by Eness is a real humdinger, taking over Melbourne’s main square with beguiling, playful, gently-limegreen loveliness. Kind of reminds me a little of that OTHER lime green, bar-based logo, no?
Beck: Yeah, it was a complete surprise. I was so thoroughly unprepared. If you were around the scene in Los Angeles at that time, I was the least likely tipped for success. Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn’t even get a gig. Even when “Loser” came out, I would try to talk bookers into letting me play 20 minutes on a Thursday night, and they still wouldn’t go for it. The only way I was allowed to play was by convincing bands to let me do a few songs while they set up. That went on for years. I marvel at bands now who are playing the Wiltern Theatre after just nine months of existence.
