I've added a new entry to my book, "Soundtrack Of My Life Contest Challenge"  : "Feb 4, 2025: Who The Hell Is Edgar? by Teya & Salena" For the second time, and two in a row, another song no-one here has probably heard of... |
Maybe it should be called "Who the hell is Teya and Salena?"  OK, OK... it was a weird but enjoyable song.  |

| Groundhog Day? In Australia, maybe we should have Quokka Day... The quokka emerges from her nest She looks east, and then she looks west She then turns her gaze up to the sun Then spins around and shows us her bum "Oh dear," the man there does sadly say "She has shoved her anus in our way." All of us know what that sign does mean Six more weeks of summer will be seen For summer ends with a smiling look But a flash of bottom means we will cook |
| I don't often do this, but the winner of the January Horror Writing Contest was a story I feel should be highlighted. Congratulations to all who entered, and some of the other entries were also great tales. I am enjoying seeing how people tackle the weird topics I throw into the prompts. I was really entertained by the entries this month. Next contest will be in March. Anyway, here's the winner:

Rose Grey  - That's one of the "scare the sh*t out of them" public information films we had on TV in the UK when I was a kid. Drownings in disused quarries, electrocution on railway lines, cartoon cats warning about paedophiles ("Charley Says" anyone?) etc, and all in the kids' TV ad breaks. These days there would be public warnings about being traumatised by the public warnings. A lot of them are on YouTube. The grand-daddy of the lot was "Apaches", showing the dangers of playing on a farm (also on YouTube). This took "show, don't tell" to spectacular heights as the kids were killed off one by one by drowning, poisoning, being run-over etc. They don't make them like that anymore. |
| 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. This is a song that came up on a Discord server last week, as the person could not believe it was by a pair of Australians. They swore it was USian. But, no, it is one of those tracks that just appeared out of nowhere... and then the band disappeared. They did have a second charting single here, but, really, how do you top this one? A genuine one-hit wonder. Seen live? No. Overseas success? Just this one song... but same here. 'Space Invaders' by Player [1] (1980) |
