Oh my god, it’s the last thing you want to happen when you’re out and about, not showered and looking like a car accident! Of course my reaction was much worse than the actual situation but…what else is new? What are we talking about? Well, running into one of your ex-boyfs unexpectedly. Now it isn’t [...]
Up, up and away with TAA the friendly, friendly way
Oh, I’m on a roll with these TV commercials from my childhood. It seems like every few months someone is adding something new to Youtube from my past that just blows me away. And, of course, I could virtually remember the lyrics word for word even though it’s been decades since I’ve seen the ad. [...]
If this doesn’t win Melodifestivalen, Sweden is fucked.
Seriously. Eric Saade was robbed in the 2010 Melodifestivalen contest. “Manboy” shat all over the actual winner – “This is My Life” by Anna Bergendahl. And Sweden paid the price – it didn’t even make it through the semi-final at Eurovision. It died a painful death. “Manboy” and Eric’s album went on to become HUGE [...]
At the Fritzoneum, Lobethal
The day after Christmas, we were invited to go to Lobethal to visit friends David & Ben. They spoilt us rotten with food, drinks, presents, home-baked goodies and more. They also had three lovely little dogs that I just adored. David & Ben live in this big ‘ole house on a huge block of land [...]
You filthy, dirty little queer. Get out!
First of January, 2011 and I can’t help revisiting an old classic. Number 96. And, more specifically, Bev & Don’s classic scene where she finds out he’s Gay. Or a “hummus-sexual” as Don seems to say Seeing this surreptitiously as an 12 year old, you might think it could have screwed up my self-image and [...]
A note about the exhibition coming to Sydney
For those that know what this post is about, this will make sense…for everyone else…nothing to see here! We’ve had a couple of enquiries as to whether Yoda & I will be attending the um, let’s say, “Exhibition about a Nordic originating group, with a name consisting of two letters repeated, at the Powerhouse Museum” [...]
I’ve gone completely Boy Krazy!
Although some may say it all started when I was four…but that’s another issue completely! Recently, the postman delivered a nice little parcel to my PO Box…the all re-done, re-vamped, bonus-tracked re-release of Boy Krazy’s Stock/Aitken/Waterman album from 1993. There are some amazing SAW albums being re-released with B-Sides, 12″ versions, unreleased tracks and more. [...]
Pearl’s A Singer
I’ve been travelling down memory lane to some of the one-off hits I loved as a teenager growing up in Adelaide in the 70s. We had a TV show every Saturday called “Music Express” which was two hours of pop videos. They played all the expected hits but sometimes a few things that ended up [...]
Moving Hell…Day #2
The packing up and moving saga entered its second major day today. While I’ve been getting rid of stuff and making preparations for the last couple of weeks, the serious hard core work has started this weekend. My fabulous friend James O’Brien (now aka “the big butch Aussie bloke”) came back again and helped out. [...]
What were you watching on TV in 1976?
You’ll need to click on the image above to see the full sized version and to read the program listings. This is an actual scan of a TV Guide issue dated May 8, 1976. TV Guide was an Adelaide-only magazine that competed with the national magazines – TV Week and TV Times. It was smaller, [...]
