I’ll check some of these out. I listened to exactly zero tracks released in 2025 this year. My kids were delighted to tell me that my Spotify estimated age is north of 70 (I’m 54).

Jesus!

It is slightly ludicrous having two major sporting stadia in the inner suburbs. Locks the city down anytime something is on. They should build them out in the boondocks at the end of the train line somewhere.

I can actually gaze out to it from my level 28 office. It’s quite small but tall and almost perfectly circular, so it looks like a cauldron. In case you were unaware, Gabba is a contraction of Woolloongabba, the […]

God, she seems revolting. I’d never heard of them, but I knew exactly how they would sound before I sampled a few tracks.

Love this album and have probably played it more than my other Eno and Roxy albums put together.

When I first moved to North Queensland in the early 90s hitchhikers were still pretty common on the highway, and I picked a fair few of them up on my jaunts. They were all European backpackers on their way to and […]

Oooh! Police and Toto are good contenders!

Drummer for my favourite era of Miles. Incredible.

53 here and out local variant was: Jesus Christ, Superstar Riding down the road on his Yamaha Cops were there, he don’t care ‘Cause he’s wearing supersonic underwear.

The Mauritian Badminton Doubles Champion, 1903 – Hamish Hawk

The vast majority here are 18+. It’s the first gig I’ve been to in years that is all ages.

TWYLD is a wonderful detour as we journey through the mind of the protagonist. It’s the idealised dream of love. I know it’s heresy to suggest, but the track I skip most often is Cyprus Avenue. It’s a strai […]

Love them both where they are.

Not sure why they would wait until 2028 for this. If I were a record company wanting another harvest from a legacy act I’d get product to the market ASAP. Every year they wait the market contracts further.
