GPRS Munging
Monday, March 24th, 2003Posted from: Macintosh Ti PowerBook, running MacOS X 10.2.3 with Bluetooth (simpler, more integrated than Windows XP) using Optus GPRS (also more and better integrated than Windows XP). Just double-checking that this works. Seems to drop out a little quickly...
In all this talk of 1980s music, I keep forgetting that Crowded House's Don't [...]
A-Ha
Sunday, March 23rd, 2003Just proving my point that the 1980s are cool: Holden are now advertising the Barina with a reworking of the 1983 hit: A-Ha's Take on Me. Go Morton!

On Qantas flights in recent months the inflight music has been distinctly 1980s: Nena's 99 Luft Balloons (English language version) and Tears for Fears (somewhat ironic if you are afraid of flying). Now Mitsubishi Motors (Australia) are using Big Audio [...]
The Young Ones
Monday, February 3rd, 2003We have introduced Liam to The Young Ones, and evidently his favourite character is Vyvyan. Each episode, a guest band played - usually with an obtuse link to the story plot. Classic Retro early 1980s bands such as Dexys Midnight Runners (way more than a one-hit wonder) and Madness were features in series 1. [...]
1980s Music
Monday, July 30th, 2001For those who remember the Australian Photoshop 6.0 Seminar (Oct/Nov 2000) -- my theme was "Music of the 1980s". Just stumbled across a great web site. Time to swat up ready for the next roadshow, people!
