#IsersMuzak The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Track 1 on Gil Scott-Heron's 1971 album Pieces Of A Man, has became a cliché. But what about Track 2, Save The Children? The 'children' are what we now call Gen X, and they haven't done much about saving the world AFAICT. youtu.be/t8-7JDRr9wo

I've been doing some research* on Marty Jo Zambotto AKA Go-Jo, Australia's entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. It seems he missed a few of his usual martial arts training sessions because of his Eurovision commitments. In other words, Go-Jo was a no-show at the dojo.

#IsersMuzak Not the best music video ever made, but it has to be a contender for 'best music video made on a budget of $20 or less.' Electric Six - Gay Bar (video by Joel Veitch of rathergood.com) youtu.be/Tw7EJ_mTmdM

#IsersMuzak "So, Mr. Williamson, what have you done in order to find gainful employment since your last signing-on date?" "Wot? Fook all!" I nearly said something similar to various Centrelink/Job Network drones while on Newstart before I retired. Sleaford Mods - Jobseeker youtu.be/dEYYI1ii0AU

#IsersMuzak An oldie but a mouldie from the New Wave era, when musicians with names like 'Peter Bramall' adopted stage names like 'Bram Tchaikovsky'. (He's the guy in the striped singlet.) Bonus Whispering Bob Harris content. The Motors - Dancing The Night Away: youtu.be/Jzv347xfEws

Former Reps coming back as Senators is a 'tradition' (Deborah O'Neill/Sarah Henderson/Dave Sharma), but 'Reps on the rebound' is new. This year we see Lucy Wicks, Katie Allen, Tim Wilson and Nicolle Flint hoping for a comeback. (There may be others; I only found out about Wicks today.) #AusPol

Peter Dutton made a new election ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

Sounds paranoid, maybe, but as Joseph Heller observed: "just because you're paranoid...". I think the Senator from Connecticut might be on to something here.

NEW YORK - Genealogy giant Ancestry.com announced this week that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are distant cousins, linked by a 19th-century ancestor who allegedly “grifted his way from Belarus to Bavaria selling counterfeit bear repellant.” I knew it🤣🤣😜!

Remember those Trump guitars from last year? The $200 ones that were being sold for $1.5k, or $11.5k with Incontinentia's signature? Well: guess where they were made? Some place in East Asia I've never heard of... Chieee-nuh or something. #Trump #grift #FOAD youtu.be/lITeteouppU

Ukraine has reported a sudden and sustained improvement in the areas of critical thinking, problem solving, mathematics and basic history after Donald Trump called for the US to withdraw all of its intelligence from the country this week.

Serendipity... There's a version of Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel being used in an ad on the teev for Humane World for Animals. As it happens, Peter's first solo album, which included that song, was released 48 years ago today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OO2...
