I don’t think it would be too far from the truth to say that Isley Brothers music is a perfect match for Sunday mornings.

North Hollywood 🙌

I didn’t even realise this was a thing until I thought about it. Yes, this is me.

I’m on a bit of an “Aussie-made” arc with my weekly music downloads at the moment. The last four have all been locally-made:
Take You Down - Rogue Traders
Baby Animals (eponymous album)
He’s Just No Good for You - Mental as Anything
Crazy - Icehouse

Just the best!

Nothing less than a rebellion will oust this administration.

I’m sorry you lost me when you suggested there was anything better than Phil Collins…. 😆

A friend of mine was an extra in this movie - I really should watch it one day 😆

I think we should just put females in charge of everything.

At the end of it all music, as it always has, will be proven to have the correct read on current political goings on.

What kind of things?

After I read your post I immediately went and listened to this song. Thank you.

This is exactly right, and is a point that is not made enough. It’s not about “me”, it’s about everyone else that depends on me being vaccinated.

It’s 2026 here in Oz now. So here’s to new beginnings. Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous new year.

I’m a man of simple tastes: Britney in the Oops song. Back when pop ruled. This video had me glued to Rage every Saturday morning. Rage of course being the Australian music video show which is the longest running program of its type in the world.

Countless happy moments of my life are comprised of fleeting chance human interactions or “lost in my thoughts” occasions; the locked gaze, the head nod, the knowing smile. I despair at how these moments are being robbed by mobile tech and people’s general inability to put away their phone.

A list of very cool songs, a mixture of old and new.

Speaking of song downloads, I am now at 64 for the year, plus one album. If you go by the rules that one single download equals 150 streams and one album download equals 1250 streams, then for about $150 I’ve streamed nearly 9900 songs since about June. And my playlist is 💋. Fuck streaming.

I never realised how hard the Psychdelic Furs’ Love My Way hits. Instant download.

I accepted. Though I asked Master Seven to click the “accept” button for me, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

These are what I’ll be driving in my next job 😍

I’ve got until tomorrow to decide to accept this new job offer. One click to decide to stay on a comfortable trajectory, or to choose a change that will improve our life immensely, albeit a change that will be slightly less family-friendly. The gravity.

Good morning from Australia (it’s 1.30am on December 18). Have yourself an excellent day.

Fascinating.

Shirley last night ❤️ it only took me 30 years but I finally got to see @garbage.com live, and they still put on an epic show!

Yes! I still have time!

I don’t know how people can watch this sport with results-fixing being so obvious. Although at least it’s not as bad as FIFA I guess…

I guess I’m dying on the “no beach balls at outdoor music festivals” hill.

It’s been amazing to watch the transformation. At least you know when to stop and enjoy it. Many people are just perpetual renovators, never satisfied!

It all looks very grand.
