Sherine and Zan should write a memoir. Or two. Big Pig were tops. As with Wa Wa Nee, it's the oft-dismissed 2nd album that requires consideration.

That was their initial hit 'on cart' at RRR, before they released a record. Perhaps even before they'd played live.

What a treasure trove! Who's got the time?! Looks like fun.

Wa Wa Nee's best was the second album Blush. One of about ten albums I never get tired of.

Why wouldn't Australians be good at synth pop? We invented the Fairlight. Well, I did.


The Annandale Hotels 10th Birthday

Comment I Made about 1 year ago

The best shows I ever saw at the Annandale were Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes, and the Black Eyed Susans when Warren Ellis, Jim White and Dave McComb were in them. And Venom P. Stinger on a night when Johnstons Ck flooded practically up to the door of the hotel.

now it seems the big massive final assessments are due and nothing has been done at all.

That's a bit passive Also, it's a bit early for massive final assessments surely. Change your work habits, seek extensions and assistance. Universities don't want you to fail and most of the time they have resources to assist you which most students don't take advantage of presumably because ... well I suppose it's different for different people.


Catherine Deveny on Strike

She got up my nose a lot of the time (particularly her stuff on the suburbs). Thought she was good on Q&A a few months ago. Bindi too easy a target. If you work for Rove for 5 years (is this true?) then don't pretend you're not a part of the TV industry - even if she worked as his gardener. Yes, as people have said if she plays it right it's a career boost.
