Reading Tyler Jenkes book on TISMs album Machiavelli and the four seasons, and I come across a quote I got from an interview with Ron. The phone interview was an absolute corker. Most of my questions were not related to their music at all.

A big night out at the Town Hall with David O'Doherty. A great night was had, despite a serious water spillage at the end. David sorted the situation in a way that would make in infomercial proud. I'm sure measures will be taken to avoid repeats, so don't be put off @phlaimeaux.bsky.social

In case you aren't familiar with the story of Bondi shooting hero, Ahmed Al Ahmed, None of what Grok says is factual. Grok is going to make controlling the narrative a whole lot easier

Another nice thing about holidays is getting home to find parcels waiting to be opened. This crowd funder was a no-brainer. It's still one of my favourite TV series.

Still sad about the passing of one of the great artists of our time. I never got to see him talk, I think he only did one public appearance in Australia, in Brisbane. There is some solice in owning one of only three trading cards he signed
