  Hey! It's #fortnightFridayMusic & the cue is: #thunder Sometimes songs don't age badly, society does. Lyrically, they foresaw the future in this banger, probalby my favourite of theirs: TISM - Thunderbirds Are Coming Out Shot in one take, the video features 30 bands from the Melbourne scene in 1998 miming to this song. It's not only funny but also now a nostalgic snapshot. Of all the bands in this video,on #TISM and the Ringwood Secondary College Choir & Orchestra are th...

  Hey! It's #fortnightFridayMusic & the cue is: #red Jumping across the ditch to New Zealand, where there is clearly something mind altering in their water with these whacky art boys: Split Enz - I See Red If you want to know what 2 members of Crowded House did before Crowded House, that's a video for you: 🎶 I respect your wishes You gave me such precious hours What to do without you Squeezed me out of your life Down the drain like molten toothpaste I feel used and spat out Poor o...

  “250 years ago the genocide of my people began, and the nation of Australia was built on our nonexistence and our erasure. And that’s what the state of israel is built upon. But after 250 years, my people are still here because we resisted and because of our perseverance & our refusal to be erased. And that is what is going to happen to your people. One day both our lands will be free to determine our own destinies.” https://workersbushtelegraph.com.au/2026/05/15/flotilla-flies-again-to-gaz...

  Hey it's  #alternateFridayMusic 🎉 I'm going to try a different kind of cue this week, so please tell me if the idea has legs, or not. Be blunt and honest. This weeks cue is: What gets you energised? For me, the song that I use the most to psych myself up, to get energised, to put on my game face right now is: Bluejuice  - Vitriol https://youtu.be/8lc8VE7cSqM Sing along at the Church of Bluejuice: 🎶 Good luck and don't dare give up Give it a little bit of vitriol And if it'...

  Hey it's  #alternateFridayMusic 🎉 with a cue of: What gets you energised? The songs of one of the worlds greatest song writers, Grant McLennan have energised my life since the late 80's.
