YouTube video by triple j The Wiggles cover Tame Impala 'Elephant' for Like A Version

3RRR has an ongoing segment called 'Like A Version' where they get in (usually) Aussie bands to do cover versions, often of other Aussie bands.

Here's The Wiggles covering 'Elephant' by Tame Impala.

Two main reasons;
- I've learned how to cook with whatever's in the fridge

- I prefer the food I grew up with (like most people) although I've got a lot more culinary cultural options than my forebears. Their meat-and-three-veg becomes my curry, or stir fry, or carbonnade, from scratch.

Same. We relied on my grandparents for much of our dairy, eggs and (through the country barter system) meat, as well as veg.

It's such a privilege; I never saw it at the time, of course, and was envious of kids whose lunch contained packets and sugary stuff. But I think it's served me well.

Oh, you know ... the usual.

Or a Glaswegian.

We'd definitely find out of Elon's mother could stitch.

Especially given the source material.

I mean, look at them.

Brings a tear to the eye.

Your position on dim-sims in unimpeachable, for starters.

Our hearts are raw, Mr Dog.

Thank you for this lovely tribute.

Naaah, mate; it's real. Charge 'em twice that.

Interesting. There were no issues with the anti Herzog protesters in Melbourne.

The difference?

The brutal and violent NSW Police and a Premier who thinks he’s a right wing dictator.

It is not our job, as Australians, to set you a good example.

Nor should we have to think about What The Americans Will Think every time we use social media.

Look to your own house; don't criticise us.

Are you arguing that an Australian saying she wouldn't join an Australian political party is somehow responsible for Americans (who have a totally different system, and no independent candidates to speak of) doing the wrong thing?

Take a goddamned seat.

Talent puddle, more like.

Cooking today.

It's my MILs 80th this weekend, and she couldn't decide between chocolate cake and cheesecake, so I'm making a basque cheesecake and some chocolate-cranberry brownies.

And some spuds au gratin to go with dinner.

Food is love, right?

Many yay!

As a reasonably smart people, the best days are the ones where you learn a nifty new word. It's like getting a new toy!

Although it does come with problems; the few days after I learned what "liminal" meant were a burden to the people I spoke to ... and don't get me started on "numinous."

But it looks terrible.

One of those times where the truth not only hurts, it's downright embarrassing.

At least Australians can be proud of Grace Tame. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #HerzogNotWelcome

Shades of

"These files will be released over my dead body."

"Your proposal is acceptable."

And then the election slogan writes itself.

"We can't afford to be Hastie."

Or just "Don't be Hastie." Preferably spoken by an Ent--an ad for conservation, maybe?

Thanks!

Your google-fu is strong!

With their worldwide hit, "Spirit of the Times," off their Grammy winning album, "The Vibe."

To be fair, though, Zeitgeist would be a great name for a band.

Not every educated person knows everything. Maybe in the 20th century, when there was a limited corpus of knowledge, that was possible. But these days, knowing how to find and rate answers is more useful than knowing individual things.

I've covered a lot of protests: Save Albert Park, Richmond Secondary College, the 98 waterfront dispute.

Some were rugged affairs.

Shields, batons, horses.

But I don't remember punching.

3 or 4 officers laying into a pinned victim with fists.

Without uniforms, there'd be jail terms.
