Is 20 a short list or a long list? October 3, 2009

For me it’s an impossible task to answer the question “What’s your favourite song lyric?”. It’s right up there with “What’s your favourite movie?” etc. There is no single definitive answer.

Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 28: You were driving circles around me September 30, 2009

It really is quite amazing what pops into your mind in the wee small hours of the morning. I woke up at 4 (yes darned kookaburras again) and suddenly this song was going through my head. I don’t own it, I haven’t heard it since Triple J used to thrash it all over the radio […]

At least it’s not a picture of the cat September 15, 2009

What Wendy Watched: Dagginess and Joy September 9, 2009
