I just read the same thing in The Guardian. Never heard of her either. Mind you I’ve never heard of 99% of the ‘celebrities’ on these shows.

Barney Rubble’s response wasn’t exactly hard-hitting. “Pack your […]

My last before lockdown was The Smyths, over a year ago now. Managed to see Bowie Orchestrated last month before the Sydney lockdown. Emma Swift was cancelled, this weekend’s REM tribute will go the same way. […]

Same here, I find it a bit awkward with the camera on, never quite knowing where to look when there’s half a dozen faces on the screen. You’re either sitting there staring at a bunch of people who are staring […]

Only one album that I know of, side 4 of Thin Lizzy – Live/Life at the Hammersmith Odeon.

The Church – Future Past Perfect DVD at the Enmore Theatre.

I wasn’t on U2’s Zoo TV: Live from Sydney (on the […]

Loved watching this, some great stuff coming from the UK jazz scene.

Absolutely, one of my favourite opening lines of all time. Along with “time takes a cigarette… Etc”.

Thanks Podicle, happy to be stood corrected, no offence intended. My view of this world has been largely limited to what I read/hear in the news, the lack of genuine empathy from the upper echelons of our […]

Kevin Rudd said sorry to Indigenous Australians eight years ago, and the question now is ‘okay you’ve said sorry, why is it still happening?’. There are some great people out there trying to lift indigenous […]

General Melchett regularly gets an airing

Coral albums are strangely expensive down here in Oz. You can download the deluxe edition for under $10 from their site.

Lovely stuff, I’m listening to it while I work and it’s make it even harder than usual to focus on that work stuff. I’d go for a Bandcamp download.

Mine was degrees of uncomfortableness rather than actual pain. Some spots were a bit more noticeable, but I don’t remember exclaiming “ow you phucker, that hurt!” Feet are the most painful apparently.

Just got my first one at the ripe old age of 54. Not so much mid life crisis as mid life why the hell not.

We started watching various tattoo shows a few years ago and became fascinated by the art work and […]

Yup, I bought a Necks t-shirt when I saw them. Blimey, that was one of the last gigs I went to over a year ago.

Newly purchased Monk from Redbubble. I ordered a slim fit by mistake so his head looks a bit bulbous when I put it on.

Kamasi Washington had t-shirts last time I saw him, but as fine a looking chap as he is, it […]

must just be me then. Where did you get the code? I got a ‘thanks for signing up’ email but that was all.

Looks like the window to get the code closed on 28 Feb.

Steven Wilson had to cut six songs from his set at his last Sydney gig because he rattled on too much at the pre-show meet n greet, then gabbled on throughout the gig until someone told him there was an 11pm […]

Great review Ainsley. HCE is peak Wilson for me too, love it from start to finish, closely followed by Raven. Despite the grumbling from the die-hard prog/Porcupine Tree community I really like To The Bone as […]
