…and what do you suppose my mind is on? Family? Friends? Presents? Well, yes of course but there’s a little piggy inside JudgeG that’s crying out ‘BALFOURS! PIG OUT!!!’ Sure they might have twelve-step programs and Betty Ford Clinics for detoxing from alcoholism, drugs and so on…but I can’t see they’re ever going to be [...]
Swedish Christmas Bazaar in Sydney
Yesterday the Swedish Church in Sydney held their annual Christmas Bazaar. James and Yoda study Swedish at the cafe located next to the Swedish church and naturally wanted to check out the bazaar. I was asked to tag along but was stuck waiting for a Woolies Homeshop order to arrive before I could jump in [...]
Avoiding Katy Perry
Ever since singer Katy Perry sued Australian fashion designer Katie Perry, she’s been on my ‘people I’d most like to see burned at the stake’ list. If you don’t remember the story, Katy Perry (the slag singer from the U.S.) sued Katie Perry, a fasion designer just because she had the same name. Two facts [...]
7Digital.com – my alternative to the Evil Apple Empire
There are two things I hate above all with today’s commercial music sales environment – downloading songs and Apple’s strangehold on the market. I like physical CDs and CD singles.

Nej! Nej! Nej! Too bloody hot!
I’m gonna be so bloody hot today I’ll be screaming in Swedish! (“Nej!” meaning “No!” in Swedish.) “Jag tycker inte om väder!” Inte glad Jan!
27 years later…..
I first saw this song performed by a drag queen in a (now long defunct) pub in Surry Hills, Sydney. It was 1982. It stuck with me for years and years and I’ve previously never been able to find it anywhere. Couldn’t find who the artist was or anything about the song. People thought I [...]
A boy’s record collection has to start somewhere…..
7″ Singles were only $1.10 and over the years I bought around 1,100 of them. And one of the very first was this one….. And let’s not forget my first true music love and obsession…. So then it’s hard to believe I also bought this one back in the early 70s… (And I’m wondering what [...]
