| “we’re not invincible we’re vincible” | June 28, 2009 | I’ve spent the last week or so rationing myself to one episode per day of Flight of the Conchords Series 1 and finally finished today. I never managed to catch it before due to Channel Ten’s poor programming and my lack of TV recording equipment (a situation that we are all aware is now remedied). […] |
| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 26: Rainy days and Mondays | June 21, 2009 | Some classic music – because it is both raining and Monday. |

| a little cultcha | June 20, 2009 | Despite what my little sidebar says, tonight is the Q150 Concert for Orpheus Singers and Bundaberg Youth Choir. What does this mean I hear you ask (or maybe not). It means we have been rehearsing a selection of choral music by Queensland composers and about Queensland. There are a few Stephen Leek and Colin Brumby […] |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 25: In fact I love my wardrobe | June 9, 2009 | This is one of the first songs I can ever remember hearing. My parents owned a double album of Donovan and it seeped into my consciousness as a child. Later as a teenager I rediscovered it and adored it for it’s simplicity, catchy singalong chorus, and fabulous last line. I hadn’t thought about for years […] |

| Black-hole humour vs it’s all about the song | June 6, 2009 | This being a blog that describes itself as all about televsion I should probably say something about the whole Chaser controversy, so here it is: I don’t care. I don’t watch “The War” because I don’t find it funny and never have. CNNNN was a far superior effort by this group of so-called comedians. I […] |
