| R.A.T.! Random Aussie Tune! This is part of my ongoing attempt to make Australia seem like a country not just populated by wildlife out to kill you (even though it is) and always on fire or under water (only half the time, to be honest) by posting songs I like by Aussie (not Kiwi) artists. So, we have a song that is filled with Australian euphemisms and was banned by a few radio stations here, by a band that was around for a while and had a fun stage presence. Again, a band I don't know a lot about, but I have quite a few of their songs and one album. Seen live? Yes. Overseas success? No. 'Nude School' by Painters & Dockers (1988) |
| I've added a new entry to my "Writing Blog Number 2 (continued)" "20260204 External Writerings Jan 2026" This is my monthly beg for views, as each person who clicks on a separate article from a new IP with no ad blockers gets me a small amount of money. It costs you nothing but time, but it helps me make what we shall laughingly call a "living" as a writer. And, - who knows? - you might find some fun music as well! |
| I've added a new entry to my book, "The Bradbury" "Week 5, 2026 - Accidentally Playing God" Yes, two in one day. I can get on a tear some times... |

| The Australian version of Groundhog Day is Quokka Morning. On Rottnest Island, a Quokka named Eep is summoned to come out at the start of February. If she smiles at her shadow, then we have 4 more weeks of cricket to endure; if she just begs for feed, then football season starts early. This year, she smiled. As such, the World Cup of T20 Cricket starts and pre-season footy is delayed... |

This is part of my ongoing attempt to make Australia seem like a country not just populated by wildlife out to kill you (even though it is) and always on fire or under water (only half the time, to be honest) by posting songs I like by Aussie (not Kiwi) artists. Ratcat were a fun pop-rock group that did not take themselves seriously. I don't know a lot about them, but I have two of their albums and a pile of singles, including one they released with JPY. I just like their music. Seen live? Yes. Overseas success? No. 'Don't Go Now' by Ratcat (1991) |
The January edition is closed, but February is open!

From punk to pop. Savage Garden were only around for less than a decade, had two albums, and then they disbanded and have not ever reunited. They produced catchy pop tunes with surprisingly deep lyrics and their vocal harmonies were beautiful. But two albums is all we got. Shame. The solo work that followed was not as strong. Seen live? No. Overseas success? Yes. 'Affirmation' by Savage Garden (1999) + |
| I miss music like this. (I can't get over "our music" being referred to as Oldies!) Loved the video, too–cool "behind the scenes" snippets that tell you a lot about the band. I'm going to go download some Savage Garden stuff to my playlists–shame on me for forgetting them. Thanks for the reminder, Steven. |
