The snippets of Naked Eye they incorporated into longer live jams were fantastic. They just couldn’t cut a decent studio version, and I think the problem is with the drums. Moon never found the groove for that one.

The other morning as I walked into my city skyscraper workplace, I saw a half-evaporated stain crossing the granite pavers in the courtyard. Following it back to its source I saw a groin-height stain on one of the […]

Meanwhile, here in Brisbane it has rained virtually non stop for months. Mostly annoying drizzle with patches of very heavy downpour. I would guess that since last September, there have been more wet days here […]

A lot is made of Australia’s Pacific Rim cuisine, and it takes travelling out of the country to realise how good we have it here (at least in the past 10-15 years). I can walk out of my office and get better […]

I love this clip and have watched it many times over the years trying to figure out exactly what he is doing. If only the cameraman had panned down a few degrees! The bits that have me amazed are: a) how he […]

I think our society has been ludicrously tolerant of idiotic and sociopathic behaviour for quite some time. The misery that a tiny percentage of the population inflict on the rest of us far outweighs the […]

So should we just pick the worst crime and only cover that?

Australian Federal election is this weekend, and there seems to have been a similar shift away from the Liberals, if polls can be believed. Two months ago they were predicted to be romping it in, whereas now […]

They have said before that they would get to Saville one day. Regardless, there are still hundreds of episodes left, although they inevitably will start tripping over themselves a lot more in terms of […]

Old man yells at clouds. He was really struggling through that series of key modulations and getting flustered. There did seem to be a totally out of whack key change right where he lost it, and I don’t r […]

Late to the party, but I’m a landlord several times over. My main advice is to make a decision early on as to whether you will manage the property or get someone else to manage it. I have tried both ways, and the […]

“…and even the Go Gos.” Did Debbie write that media release?

I actually find that story far more interesting than John and Paul. When was the last time they interacted as friends? I’m guessing it’s been seperate limos, seperate hotels and comms through legal teams for decades.

If the hypothesis rests on the premises that a) love songs written by L and M were actually secretly about each other and b) gee, they wrote a lot of love songs, therefore c) they were quasi-married, then it seems […]

Jeff Beck Blow by Blow?

I know that for most of these band +orchestra gigs they usually have only a quick rehearsal or two. These are professional musos rehearsing repertoire all day, and they are used to sight reading.

Great. Thanks.

They have put on another show in Brisbane and I’m signed up to get an alert when tickets go on sale. I originally skipped this one when I read “new album in full” in the description, but ChrisF’s review has convinced me.
