How to get tickets to MNDSGN in Bangkok
Now, for the first time, MNDSGN is bringing his tapestry of grooves to Bangkok. This June, he'll perform an intimate set of unreleased material and fan favourites, with vocals and keys at the fore.
His journey, however, doesn't end in adolescent bedrooms. MNDSGN moved west, folding himself into the kaleidoscopic chaos of LA's beat scene, finding kinship with the Low End Theory crowd before catching the ear of Stones Throw Records. The label released Yawn Zen (2014), Body Wash (2016) and Rare Pleasure (2021), each album a shapeshift in tone, but always unmistakably him. The last marked a departure – live band recordings, cinematic swells and an ensemble cast featuring the likes of Kiefer, Fousheé and Anna Wise, as if he'd finally decided to soundtrack the film he'd been scoring in his head all along.
Though his own records trace an internal cosmos, MNDSGN's fingerprints are scattered across contemporary R&B and hip-hop. He's produced for Tyler, the Creator, Joyce Wrice, Fatima, SiR and even CHAI – proof that his musical vocabulary is fluent across dialects. Now, if he's already on your playlist, or if you're simply curious, here's how to get your hands on tickets.

Kiefer/Van Gogh at Royal Academy: 'lust for life in the face of death'
It leads you into the next room which dwells more on the journey of Kiefer along the trail on Van Gogh. It includes drawings from his travels — there is also an excellent little booklet with excerpts from his youthful fan-boy diary, sample quote: 'I don't want to copy Van Gogh's style. That would be too primitive. I'd rather find my own language. But that's very hard to do' — but these tend to pale beside Van Gogh's work here, including his own drawings of the land which can't have changed too much by Kiefer's time. Avenue of Poplars, a pencil and ink piece from 1884, is breathtaking in its image of a figure stopped in the long stretch of trees, waiting or unable to go on, for reasons best not asked.

Kiefer/Van Gogh review – Anselm puts the nightmare into Vincent's sunflower visions
Vincent van Gogh was born in 1853, in the middle of the comparatively peaceful 19th century. If he hadn't shot himself in a cornfield at the age of 37, and had made it to his 60s, he could have witnessed all that end in the 1914-18 war. If he'd lived to 80, he would have read in his newspaper, at an Arles cafe table, of the election of Adolf Hitler as German chancellor, and in 1945, at 92, watched newsreel footage of the emaciated survivors of Belsen. Odd thoughts, but they are stoked by the Royal Academy's strange and startling exhibition. This is an intimate encounter between the great living German history painter, to mark his 80th year, and his hero Van Gogh. It juxtaposes his responses to the latter, from teenage drawings to recent gold-spattered wheatfield scenes, with the Dutch artist's works. The peculiar result is to make you see how the dreamer of sunflowers and starry nights might have painted the horrors of modern history, if he'd lived to see them. Kiefer was born in 1945, as the facts of the Holocaust started to emerge in Germany's ruins. His art has been a long war against forgetting, fought with paintings, actions and installations. This exhibition includes his 7.5m wide 2019 canvas The Last Load, a European landscape under a black sky, emptied out by history, a gnarled waste land of stumps and stubble, including straw stuck into the masses of earthy paint. You just know what it's about. Every ploughed furrow receding across the dead space looks like the rail tracks to Auschwitz. Nearby is a pair of abandoned shoes: Van Gogh's, in his 1886 painting Shoes. But in this context these battered, lifeworn boots – two cenotaphs for vanished feet – look like the many shoes, suitcases, glasses and other objects left by the murdered. Another Van Gogh painting here, Piles of French Novels, takes on the same memorial quality: a pile of books, a heap of forgotten stories. It is Van Gogh's disturbing ability to step outside of himself and paint his shoes and books as if they were relics of a dead man that makes him appear, through Kiefer's dark lens, a prophet of the Holocaust. It's a convincing, if harrowing, image of him. At the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam earlier this year, a different version of this show refused to see anything macabre or morbid in Van Gogh's art, and consequently made little sense. Here, Kiefer and Van Gogh blend together in a weird Romantic death dance – or, to use the title of a poem about the Holocaust by Paul Celan that has long obsessed Kiefer, a Death Fugue. So a vast canvas by Kiefer sends giant black crows hurtling towards you over waving wheat in a colossal restaging of Van Gogh's last, or nearly last, suicide note of a painting, Wheatfield With Crows. In case you miss the deathliness of these winged messengers, Kiefer calls it Nevermore. Or as Celan wrote: 'we dig a grave in the sky there is plenty of room'. There's nothing subtle about Kiefer's vision of Van Gogh. It's as bold and sentimental as Don McLean's Vincent. Fair enough. Van Gogh reaches out to us, our hearts go out to him. Kiefer portrays himself lying down, floored by weltschmerz, or world pain, in a field of giant sunflowers. They are black. He sees the gloom even in Van Gogh's brightest theme, but amazingly, the curator finds a match for these blooms of death in Van Gogh's 1887 painting Sunflowers Gone to Seed, a sad grey-brown study of dead, drying nature. Even Van Gogh's 1890 Poppy Field looks here like a prophetic poem to the Flanders fallen – a sea of blood-red flowers under the uneasily placid sky. The hint of tragedy is really there, for this is another ruminatory landscape from Van Gogh's final months. So the show spookily succeeds in making Van Gogh look like Kiefer. But Kiefer doesn't come off so well when he tries to look like Van Gogh. The Dutch artist can be as bleak as he is here, yet he also paints ecstasy and (brief) hope in the Provence sunshine. Kiefer doesn't have that joy in him – and when he tries to lighten up, he looks fake, splashing gold leaf over real corn stuck on to canvases enormous in scale but lacking intensity. Still, that too is a truth. Despite the intimations of modern disaster that this exhibition brings out, Van Gogh painted before 1914, before Auschwitz. He painted a more innocent nature. The snow enveloping the fields, in a wonderful wintry scene he painted in 1890, may look like ash if you squint enough, but it's still just snow. Kiefer can't see nature with the same fresh joy because no one can any more. His metallic attempts at golden ecstasy reflect our time, our sorrow. Kiefer/Van Gogh is at Royal Academy, London, from 28 June until 26 October.

Woolworths shopper discovers an $18 dupe of a popular $445 designer item: 'Insane'
A budget-savvy Aussie mum has sent supermarket shoppers and beauty lovers into a frenzy with a new find. During a trip to her local Woolworths to pick up her essentials, busy mum Chloe Jackson stumbled upon a new body wash that smells eerily like one of the world's most coveted (and very expensive) designer perfumes. In a now-viral video that's racked up more than 24,000 views, Chloe casually filmed herself browsing the body wash aisle when she made the discovery of the year. 'Guys, I'm just at Woolworths and I'm smelling the body washes, like you do when you need a new body wash,' Chloe said. 'This is absolutely not sponsored but I have found a Baccarat Rouge dupe. It's this one here. The smell is unreal.' The star of the show is an $18 bottle of Soma Body Wash in the scent Amber & Jasmine, a brand-new arrival that's turning heads for all the right reasons. While it's easy to assume anything under $20 won't come close to high-end beauty, Soma is the exception to the rule, it seems. Founded by two Aussie mums who also happen to be former Mecca head honchos (yes, the actual Mecca), Soma was born from their frustration with boring, low-quality supermarket body care. The star of the show is an $18 bottle of Soma Body Wash in the scent Amber & Jasmine, a brand-new arrival that's turning heads for all the right reasons It seems they've brought their insider know-how to the supermarket shelves, launching the body washes exclusively in 1,000 Woolworths stores across the country by July. From a quick look on Soma's website, it's clear their aim was to create premium, fragrance-led body care that looks and smells like it belongs in a luxury hotel bathroom, without the price tag to match. The scent in question is a take on Baccarat Rouge 540, the cult French perfume by Maison Francis Kurkdjian that has developed a near-religious following among fragrance lovers. The original shower gel used to set shoppers back a cool 75 Euros for 350ml (upon investigation, Mecca no longer stocks the item, but you can order it from overseas), while the matching 70ml eau de parfum clocks in at an eye watering $445. Compare that to this sleek $18 body wash, and it's no wonder shoppers are losing their minds. Fans of Baccarat Rouge will instantly recognise the addictive warm, woody, and amber-like notes the dupe is said to capture. TikTok users flooded the comments to tag their friends and share their excitement. 'How good is it!!!!! Secrets out!!' one wrote. 'Yes!! It's true!! I think it's a mix of Baccarat Rouge and Who is Elijah Haze!' said added. It seems the entire line was designed to blend function with fragrance, delivering salon-worthy skin benefits and luxe aromas without the sticker shock. And a bonus for those that aren't huge fans of this particular scent - Soma has two other fragrance options to choose from. Their Almond & Vanille variant is apparently reminiscent of L'Occitane's iconic Almond Shower Oil ($80), and their Vetiver & Cedar takes inspiration from Byredo Vetyver ($91 for 450ml). 'Omg what other scents do they have! I need to try this.' 'The Almond and Vanille smells exactly like the L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil!' one confirmed. In a time where the cost of living is through the roof, finding a supermarket gem like this is a win.
