TURDS AND MUSIC

31/8/2022

Pursuing public health and private bodily functions.


Wednesday August the 31st ~

There's an interruption to my regular routine this week due to the return (by unpopular demand) of Sham DJs, soundtracking a top-secret, cutting-edge, arts manifestation of future modes of transportation.


Friday September the 2nd ~

After dutifully fighting my way through high-minded literature and manual labour for the rest of the working week I'll be glad to surf into the city and reprise my role as purveyor of luxurious audio at Dean and Nancy on 22. 9PM til 12.30AM. Always free.


Saturday September the 3rd ~

Come Saturday it's time to pull a very special guest from the rack to feature on Jack Off (we're determined to make the most prior to a week away in Broken Hill, then two hectic supporter drive shows in the fortnight afterwards).

Ex-Alpine singer Sappho and I met whilst in raptures at Young Fathers' set down in Marion Bay for Falls years back. Our paths have never crossed since so I'm really looking forward to hanging out with this spirited soul on air between 3 and 5PM.

Afterwards I'll be heading over to The Bob Hawke Beer and Leisure Centre to play vinyl-era Australian tunes for the duration of a three hour bracket beginning at 8.30PM. Book ahead and make a meal of it at the Lucky Prawn whilst taking in the tunes. The whole joint is a bloody marvel and entry is always free. Let's knock some glasses together then!

SPRUNG!

Blooming beauty and the sweet scent of spring. Free!


Wednesday August the 24th ~

Swingin' at the Speakeasy steps up from 10 til 2.


Friday August the 26th ~

Sin City Soirée. My key passion project of late. A burgeoning realm of creative company and mischievous movement monthly @ the Hollywood Hotel from 9 til 2.


Saturday August the 27th ~

Jack Off got silly and stark with Cash Savage last week, again! You might enjoy listening back. 3-5PM.
Later that evening I'll be celebrating Jenny's 80th with near and dear whilst getting paid to play Dean and Nancy on 22 from 9 til 12.30. Life is kind kids.

TOUCHED BY YOUR PRESENTS HERE

Yr weekly gift of immaterial chatter that matters.


Wednesday August the 17th ~

Swingin' at the Speakeasy can always be experienced for free, as indeed can all of my other performances over the course of this week.

Defy the gravity of feeble finance with physical fun, down in the basement, between 10 & well past 1.


Friday August the 19th ~

Behind the brick facade of Hawke's Beer and Leisure Centre there lies a universe of memory and memorabilia from an Australia in peril during this dire and deceitful era.

When I play here I resurface a swathe of local underground acts of yore. Spy said sounds and sights from around half 8 til half 11.


Saturday August the 20th ~

Jack Off welcomes Cash Savage back to the FBi studio between 3 and 5PM. Last time we spoke it was intense, due mainly to then-current events. Shit has not settled since! Tune in for live music, real talk and the world premiere of the incendiary new single by Cash and The Last Drinks, Push.
Afterwards climb up high to Dean and Nancy on 22 if yr inclined to draw on a beautiful space for solace. I spin for three and a half hours from 9 o'clock.


Sunday August the 21st ~

On Sunday why not ditch the digital and instead head out into the sun and sea air by the Quay to take in a spacious Sydney suite of sounds from the garden beside the MCA?

I'll be relaying auspicious audio from an alcove at the entrance to the Magic Mirrors Spiegeltent  for all and sundry across the tables and lawns outside, as part of Runaway Gardens in The Rocks. It's an all-ages affair that runs from 1 til 5.30PM.

BACK INTACT

10/8/2022

Reaching out to make contact after an operatic interlude largely disconnected from devices.


Wednesday August the 10th ~
Now that I've had nine days to recuperate since my shoulder surgery I'm venturing out in public to spin tunes for you (and me) once again. Hear them at Palmer & Co from 10PM til around 1 or 2 in the morn during Swingin' at the Speakeasy. I shall not dance.

Friday August the 12th ~
It seems like one of the many strange deejay dreams I've been having whilst knocked out on an array of meds to offset the uncomfortable aspects of sleeping in a sling but come Friday evening I'll be back at Hawke's Beer and Leisure Centre, playing another free set of tunes for the drinkers and diners between 8.30 and 11.30PM. Let's (prawn) toast life!

Saturday August the 13th ~
Jack Off last week went ahead as hoped, though I was unable to herald it here in advance due to typing being a bit beyond me. I sincerely recommend listening back, especially for the live performance and conversation with Afghan American Qais Essar. It's not hugely surprising that we do some of our best work when facing existential threats I guess! Afterwards I'll glide up 22 flights of stairs (in the lift) to stand upright at the grand piano of Dean and Nancy on 22, ready to relay another astonishingly vibrant set of Afro-latin rarities and curios from the continent. It's free but almost always full so book ahead and hopefully I'll see you there somewhere between 9PM and 12.30AM.
Incidentally all of the upheaval of late has left me with a spare ticket to the Bong Hoon-Jo classic Mother at 8.30 at Golden Age this Friday. It was like pulling teeth failing to persuade a determined-to-remain-anonymous employee to allow me to instead attend the debut Groovescooter screening of the new KLF doco (in order to review it on air the next arvo, prior to it's two subsequent screenings). I even offered to give up, rather than give away, another ticket (so that the cinema could onsell it and thus potentially profit twice), plus pay any fare difference between the sessions.
It didn't seem unreasonable to expect a little flexibility given the utility they would receive from further coverage (on top of the almost weekly plugs I've provided for film and music there since it was founded). Unfortunately any slight reciprocal consideration proved to be beyond their ken. Damn shame as I have always loved that place.
However my misfortune has a silver lining for you, dear reader, should you wish to spend a solo night at the movies on Friday evening (there are only three stand-alone seats left for this session so it would not be possible to attend and sit together with a friend). If yr keen to go drop me a line. First in, best dressed!
