Near Wild Heaven is beautiful.
Knowing he won’t do it and prob never has, thoughts and prayers for the poor White House cleaner that deals with his toilet every morning
The good old days when it was new arrival buy-in. Now it’s a guarantee the resident has a Southern Cross tattoo on their forearm (the Aussie Swazi)
Scruff beast at rest
New! Trump-Be-Gone!
OMG. The kids have just started watching the Lohan/Curtis Freaky Friday and now I know exactly where Tim Minchin got his look from
The first encounter between a human and an armadillo was a classic misunderstanding - they were actually just “Dillo”s and their drawl was unfamiliar
The guitar pattern is on record as being Summers’ invention and is arguably the dominant instrumental hook that lifts the chord progression out of banality. Mind you the modulations to the middle eight and the semi-chorus are pretty tasty
Blah blah blah into the ether
The shape of your body It’s blue
Well, National Socialism perhaps

Beautiful but needs more farting dogs
To those who can - is there a good book primer on Australian tax policy?
Ridiculous how solid the Beatles sense of swing was.
Chapter 8 of Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria is some Conrad/Joyce/Melville level transcendent extraordinary
They are so essential for a good life those sets. I have seriously listened to them on shuffle everyday for years now
This one is super music.apple.com/au/album/dee...
Pretty fuckin funny commentary
Listening to warf radio while flatpackin’ warfradio.com
The Art of the Schlemiel
Ghost Box alumni have a lot of sonic similarities with dungeon synth that I feel they’d disavow
“Wackadoo” is Bluey’s “eat my shorts”
The night porter obvs
Cliff Richard demonstrates that on a long enough career timeline, it is statistically impossible for a terrible artist to not have at least 5% of your recorded output be pretty good
The second sleepy half of So Long Farewell from The Sound of Music has rich 9th laden string chords that absolutely chime with Gorecki’s Symphony of Sorrowful Songs
Ah I see. Thank you.
What apps? Is this YouTube , tik tok or other ones?
Read this as Rod Stewart and was like oh
was Mandeville the original "yet you live in society how interesting" guy?
I just really really need trump not to end up like Savile and get away with this by dying
My postOzzymortem listening has been cussedly Mob Rules. What a great record, the sound of the band is fantastic.
Dude
Since the 90s I’d say
Talk about burying the lede
Go on. Whistle me a single fucking tune from Matilda
I miss when the Overton window forced these cunts into denialism as opposed to full endorsement
My fave Tom Lehrer moment has often been the great triple rhyme in Bright College Days: Turn on the spigot Pour the beer and swig it And gaudeamus igit Uuuur!
Oh shit
Looking forward to Isaac Chotiner giving Tim Minchin a quick call for a chat
My favorite was you tipping a bin full of ice on the stage at Melb Uni Student Union stage mc’ing a gig where Spiderbait played
In some Australian circles INXSing is a slang term for deathwanking
Least deserving Crowded hit ever. Maudlin af
Am delighted to report yet again that Tom Lehrer IS STILL ALIVE
This. Time for a BoatList
Superb and fascinating thread
Are the Fauves not the epitome of the Oz Rock Smartarse band
Ffs don’t say affluent
Quite.
I really liked the Bayona Jurassic Park.
Stop worrying about your attention being necessary to stave off the USA collapse. Treat it like history already made or a natural disaster. Us outside can only brace ourselves and be normal people doing our best as we have the power to do.
Where did old geologist Zinke crawl out from since he disappeared from Trump 1.0
Rather presumptuous of the makers of F1 btw to expect it’s the first in a franchise right off the bat
With F1 appearing trying to think what the Venn diagram is of petrol heads and cinephiles. I hate car racing and love spectacle in films - there is nothing more antithetical to the latter in my mind than vroom vroom change tyres look focused maybe crash
Testify
Please leave America. It’s done.
Wow good thing Pablo churned shit out at such a rate this is terrible
Sex Tape w/Houston, W (1985)
Fun fact: The USA will not be unfukt for the next century or two
His Sussan is Ssublime
I Know What You Did Last Summer And Every Summer Before That You Go To Your Parent’s Place In Anglesea Like Clockwork
I Knew What You Did Last Summer Because You Told Me At The Time But I’ve Since Forgotten
I Know Someone Who Knows What You Did Last Summer But Frankly It’s None Of My Business
Interesting that the Lattouf finding refers in the third para to “cancelling” as a thing, a tool of vilification. Is there precedent for this? Is it defined in case law?
Concentrate on the nasal sensation of air passing by the cilia now that’s something I can focus on just say that
Concentrate on my breathing? Like breathing is not a multitude of different sensations and complexities? How the fuck is that clearing one’s mind?
Friday arvo blasting Ex-Girl. Like listening to a nitrous aneurysm music.apple.com/au/album/bac...
Thank you!
I’ll look but is that podcast directory listed on RYM perchance?

Good time to read this article on the rapid media forgetting of the MOAB Trump dropped in Afghanistan to deflect from the snafu Syrian rocket attack the week before. Some dove. www.athensjournals.gr/media/2020-6...

I recall reading this unusual and scary book in 2019 and had thought since it was a quaint relic but now it’s all too worth revisiting www.theguardian.com/books/2018/a...
Reading Manzoni - of all the amazing things in it one of the most salient is the detailed section about the profusion of conspiracy theories during the Milanese plague of 1630
I’ve read American kids books to my small people and dealt with rhyming vase with face and aunts with pants but I got a new one yesterday from Sofia Valdez Future Prez - girl with squirrel. FFS
Lucy in the sky with Linus
Interesting - I saw Linus
Really need to fix my timeline so I don’t get baffled by US Father’s Day post-offs
Very very good
It’s an art in itself
Trump humiliated and depressed at his own birthday parade. Visibly distraught and hurt.
DEEMING: wanna see a smoking gun? IBAC: what smoking gun DEEMING: ohh oops sorry this one
Thanks Brian

Urgh the ten year old has inadvertently been exposed to a Christian TikTok dance trend - working to preemptively deprogram as diplomatically as possible
I’ve listened to a lot of tough Ustvolskaya but this duet for violin and piano goes PARTICULARLY hard music.apple.com/au/album/due...
I wonder what these people think of Ghandi, MLK, Mandela - all must be self aggrandizers according to this fucked logic
If your ideal spokesperson shares your essential narcissistic worldview of unfettered self interest then they of course axiomatically make it about themselves. And then when you see a spokesperson for people without a voice (Thunberg) you then project your assumptions onto them regardless
The ABC cans Q&A at 18 years, just when you might finally expect mature debate
Fun fact: the drums in Popcorn by Hot Butter are way better than they need to be
Here it is the best of the worst band in the world - The Shittles open.spotify.com/playlist/601...
Where’s old mate Assange with the Epstein files
I think this is a pithy dichotomy but hell the fusion of self-adoration and self-loathing plays out in artists everywhere and in varying extents throughout their careers and works
Does Celebrity count towards this assessment? Or the self abasement in Deconstructing Harry?
Yacht apricot gavotte is the all time triple rhyme
