Cal Wilson As a ring-in to this sunburnt country of ours, Cal Wilson deserves a bloody medal. Moving here three and a half years ago from across the Tasman, Wilson recently decided to explore our most sacred of rites: Aussie rules football. Mind you, this quest was originally for the sake of ridicule and comedy but somewhere along the way something very strange took over and now she's a fair dinkum, true blue convert. But that's not to say that she's ready to forsake many of her astute observations and humorous findings without first sharing them in her latest show, 'Up There Cal Wilson'.		Bloc Party Weekend In The City V2/Shock As far as I'm concerned, Bloc Party's debut album, 'Silent Alarm', is one of the great albums of this decade. There have been a number of previous bands who have been caught in that same paradox of trying to live up to an amazing debut effort. When faced with the challenge of the difficult second album some bands fail miserably (The Stone Roses), some even manage to better their past efforts (The Strokes) and other bands release an album that is nearly as astonishing (Weezer). It appears that Bloc Party fall into the last category - 'Weekend In The City' is certainly not 'Silent Alarm II' but its brilliance is nearly as bright.
