The TV ad soundtrack to my Footascray childhood. Vale, Franco Cozzo. You told me once, after finding out I worked in music, that “music is everything!”. youtu.be/6aTO6Iv4f3A?fe…

Vale, Patrick Emery. Unfathomable that we’ll never run into each other again & talk about music and oftentimes simply ridiculous, hilarious crap. One of the country’s best music writers. Condolences to your beautiful family whom you talked about with such pride and love. 🖤💔

Show me your post-storm sunset photos, Melburnians. 💜🧡🩷 #melbourneweather

The misplaced patriotism; the jingoism; the outright refusal to acknowledge First Nations sovereignty and trauma; the emboldened racists. Not a date to celebrate.

Every damn week.

Happy golden jubilee to S P A R K S ‘Kimono My House’, which simultaneously sounds fresh enough to have been released yesterday and so revered that it could only have been released in 1974. Schrödinger’s album.

"The recording part is the part that matters to me – that I’m making a document that records a piece of our culture, the life’s work of the musicians that are hiring me. I want the music to outlive all of us." theguardian.com/music/2023/aug…

Spent much of the day at work listening to a mere fraction of releases Steve Albini worked on. It’s going to be gutting to listen to the new Shellac album when it comes out next week. Vale, Steve. Thanks for all the life lessons.

After several months of tedious chipping away, I’ve finally gotten the shared work email inbox down from 40000+ to 47.

I’d like to apologise in advance to anyone at the Melb The Last Dinner Party show tonight if they play their S P A R K S cover. I’ll be the one up in the balcony losing my tiny mind.

Our Childless Cat Lady Lord and Saviour. 🙏🏻 🐈‍⬛

It’s def gonna be a “two-doonas-and-electric-blanket” kinda night.

Always great to see RIDE in Melbourne. Haven’t missed a tour since ‘91. Shout-out to Steve in his Kylie Minogue tee.

Hats off to RIDE’s sound guy. That’s the best I’ve heard a band sound at the Croxton in a while.

Oh, good. There it is. The Sunday night panic attack. Cool and normal.
