I like to have boots of shows I’ve been to. I’ve only scored two. One is AC/DC at the Syd Ent Cent back in 2001 and the other is PJ Harvey at the Enmore in 2003. Other than that it has been slim pickings. Back in 1994, I saw his Bobness when living in Japan. [...]

Jeff Lang’s Aussie tour dates are up at his site. I’ll be fer shure at the Ettalong gig (booked tickets ages ago). Sydney types would want to get to the Basement gig on May 31st. Jeff’s new album is Half Seas Over out on April 26th. On the tour, a lucky few may get to also [...]

A month or so ago in Melbourne, I was minding by business and biding my time over a pint or two and reading the Herald Sun. Casually reading a column, I was momentarily dumbstruck by a paragraph of concentrated stupidity. Sure enough checking the byline, it was by Andrew Bolt. Cut to today’s SMH and they [...]

Mucking about with a great audio recording program Reaper. A quick and dirty recording of My Babe. A little bit of Fred McDowell in this one.

Here we go again. But at least this one refers to Australia. The lads are supposed to be playing Suncorp later in the year. One day, I’ll stumble on the right one and y’all hail me as a rock’n'roll prophet (after I delete all the failed predictions of course).

Learned today that Kevin Dubrow, the singer from 80s metal band Quiet Riot, died earlier today. Best remembered for the Slade cover, Cum On Feel the Noize, Quiet Riot really broke metal in the mainstream back in 1983. Depending on how you feel they should be congratulated or condemned for the rise of 80s hair metal. [...]

I just saw this announcement at NBC’s website. This is definitely a first — kind of American Idol meets Ward Choir. CLASH OF THE CHOIRS Two-Hour Premiere, Monday, December 17 ( 8/7c ) , then airing Tuesday, December 18 ( 8/7c ), Wednesday, December 19 ( Special Two-Hours, 8 /7c ) with the final competition on Thursday, [...]

It makes sense.

Because Zoe asked… Not really that Hannah is a problem though the 3:00am till 5:30am shift this morning was tiring. Though I did get to watch some cricket and found out that Foxtel programs really crappy movies in the wee hours.
