In an effort to improve my discipline (also bc I am sick of spruiking live shows to prove I write) I started the writer's equivalent of a podcast. It's free. Still working on the discipline part (regularity). It's hopefully funny & defs short. This week's about chips.

One of the best episodes of The Goodies, a musical satire of Saturday Night Fever/Grease. I love seeing all the locals on the streets giggling at dear Tim Brooke-Taylor being very silly.

I am not always the biggest fan of the Razzies’ choices, but I think they mostly did a pretty good job this year.

Phenomenal drummer and percussionist was an equally accomplished songwriter who embodied the band’s bloody-minded spirit

Rob Hirst, Midnight Oil drummer and founding member, dies aged 70
Ask Midnight Oil fans what drummer Rob Hirst will be remembered for, and the most likely answer will be his drum solo on Power and the Passion, one of the band’s big early hits. It’s an explosive minute of almost literal madness – Hirst was on the verge of a breakdown when the track was recorded in 1982, for their breakthrough album 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Drum solos had, by that time, become a symbol of rock excess. But this wasn’t just another vulgar display of virtuosity. It was more musical than most guitar solos, enhancing a song already full of moving parts. Live, much of it was played on a corrugated iron water tank Hirst retrieved from the desert on the Oils’ Blackfella/Whitefella tour in 1986. Continue reading...

OMG I loved this film soooo much! I saw it only a month or so ago. It's available on SBS, funny, exciting, romantic and set in Scotland! Also a very young Petula Clark!
I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING! is a Powell and Pressburger film I've long neglected watching. I loved its lack of sentimentality while still being sincere, and there's a great tension between moments of whimsy and aspects of social satire. Stunning cinematography and a bonus hilarious graphic match cut.
