| What Wendy Watched: Sunday Morning Coming Down | May 30, 2009 | Did I really hear the host of Collectors use the term “intarweb” last night? I just don’t know that the target audience for Collectors would be familiar with that word. But then, perhaps I am mistaken about the target audience for Collectors. Maybe I was drifting off as I waited to watch Elvis Costello on […] |
| Eurovision: A giant pink military tank and a giant kick in the knee | May 18, 2009 | I have spent the last three evenings being inducted into the delights of the Eurovision song contest. It’s never really been on my television or musical radar before but the enthusiastic liveblogging on Circulating Library and the expert commentary at The Memes of Production got me thinking there might be more this whole Eurovision caper […] |

| Just leave the white album alone thank you | May 13, 2009 | You know what – I just don’t think this is a good idea. There are some things in music that should remain as they are and not be tampered with in any way, shape, or form and I think The White Album is one of them. I’ve never seen what all the fuss about is […] |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 23: Minnesota blues meets St Kilda | May 10, 2009 | Last night at the Paul Kelly concert he sang so many hits from his back catalogue. Sadly, this wasn’t one of them and it’s one of my absolute favourites. Never mind. The rest of the performance was loud, fabulous, polished and just all round fantastic. I enjoyed every minute. Vika Bull was stunning on back […] |

| Day 5: One Day More | May 7, 2009 | How to rally yourself for the final day of a week long community musical event. Think of a song from a musical that has the same title as how you are feeling. One day more….Of course I’m not readying myself for a revolution. I just want a nap. Look for Alun Armstrong as Thenardier. Treat. […] |

| Day 4: formally known as the mother of all headaches | Day 4 of the Eisteddfod and one more full day to go. By 9am I had the mother of all headaches that no amount of panadol, black tea, green tea or coffee was shifting. In spite of this I did spend a very enjoyable session this morning listening to young pianists. Some very impressive 8-12 […] |
