Love Rears Your Songs. (Part 6 & 7)

When asked who my favourite band is, I am pretty quick to answer. Although I have dozens of ‘favourites’, when it comes down to it, there are 2 bands that have always  had a massive effect on me. Back in high school, I joined the school band. Sure, I was playing the dorky trumpet, and then tuba, read more..

I Spoke in Class Today. Time to VOTE! (Part 5)

Ok, I’ve gotta hurry this up. Voting for the Hottest 100 of All Time finishes on Sunday, which means I have 7 days to reveal my last 6 songs. I still haven’t actually finalised the list and in fact I’ve been doubting my last pick. Was I too hasty to pick that one? I think I prefer read more..

Wanna be Startin’ to Vote for the Hottest 100 of All Time (Part 4)

So. Rock and/or Roll has dominated my list so far.   It’s obvious to say that it is my favourite genre, but that’s not to say that I don’t like a wide range of music. Lately I have definitely been getting in the synth electro goodness of bands like MGMT, Empire of the Sun and Pendulum. I read more..

Where Do We Go Now? To Part 3 of the Hottest 100 of All Time!

In my continuing series of picking my Top 10 Hottest 100 Songs of All Time, (see Parts 1 and 2 here), I am going to be talking today about the starts of  songs. Years ago, I remember KIX-106 had a policy on never talking over the beginning of a song when they played it. They claimed read more..

Smells Like the Hottest 100 of All Time. (Part 2)

This is what my blog is becoming folks. I get on a topic and then I try to stretch it out as long as I can. In this case it is because of the Hottest 100 of All Time that Triple J is running again as a 20 year anniversary to the very first Hottest 100 read more..

All Time Baby. All TIME! (Part 1)

So this month, I dedicate myself to finding out the Top 10 songs of my life to vote for. This is not going to be an easy task. We all listen to thousands (probably tens read more..

Origin 1. The Comeback Begins.

I have been pretty damn quiet on this blog lately. Admittedly, the urge to blog has been surpassed by Twittering, playing silly Facebook games or playing with LaLa and the kids. But, when State of Origin time comes around, it’s time to wake the sleeping giant. The team for Origin I was named tonight, and for the first read more..

I felt the Force. It was sorta squishy.

Yesterday I shot up to Sydney for a day trip with my eldest son who has a recent fascination with Star Wars. I think that this is an awesome thing because the Star Wars movies were an obsession of mine when I was a kid and I still love them today. The Powerhouse Museum has been showing read more..

Happy Happy Joy Joy?

Did You Just Make Wind?

If you’ve driven to Sydney lately, you would have seen the dozens of wind generators on the hills behind Lake George. Over the last few months, they have been increasing and at last count I reckon there were around 60 of them. (63 to be exact) These turbines have yet to start spinning, but when they do, read more..
