Movie: Kurt Cobain About a Son.
Thursday, May 1st, 2008Photo: Rod Yates, editor of Empire Magazine interviewing Michael Azerrad on his movie, Kurt Cobain About a Son.
Kurt Cobain looms out of the cinema screen like a melancholic Viking, ready to pillage our minds. Like the images of other dead celebrities, the image sets off thought patterns and we classify: drug addict, father, musican.

Difference of Opinion: Digital Age
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007It has been an excellent week for the ABC. The Curtin “docu-drama” gave a portrait of a man of his time: Prime Minister John Curtin during the 1941 through 1942.

Wednesday, February 28th, 2007There will be many Australian sharpie Baby Boomers very quiet today. The hero of loud, Australian Rock and Roll, Billy Thorpe, died at 60 of a heart attack over night.

ricky does 80s
Saturday, April 9th, 2005As you are probably aware, the music of the 80s touches me in a special way. I am also a fan of “The Office”
To hear that Ricky Gervais (Mr The Office) was in a little known New-wave band, Seona Dancing, well, that just made my Saturday!
The music is a classic. Evidently they charted 117 […]
Dan Brown plagerises Dan Brown
Friday, March 11th, 2005This week: Sydney / Lake Maquarie / Sydney / Auckland / Sydney.
Finished my third Dan Brown book, Deception Point. What is the Dan Brown Code? Simple:
Slighly off-centre, strange yet handsome/beautiful primary character gets thrown into a “situation”.
The “situation” has an echo in modern culture conspiracy theories or edge-case science fact
The antagonist is the person […]
