He said it was vaguely reminiscent of #Bowie, but I said it sounds more like #TomJones cleaning himself in a bottle of Listerine. #ausmusic #ozmusic #songwriting #music #songs

Effectively atmospheric. Is it a really short delay on the voice I wonder. Astral zones.

When #Prince and Bowie died within months of one another, I thought this is simply fookd. I like the Prince album ‘The Hits/B-Sides’, especially the Bs. What do you think #Bowie meant by describing himself as a BlackStar? Yet, they both got out in 2016–clever that. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cT2F...

Morning Songwrights! I'm back from navigating a dog walk across floodlands, caused by about 5" of rain falling in 10 mins. Hence today's theme: Post a song of yours that mentions, was inspired by or has any kind of tenuous link to the weather. Mark it #HomeMadeMusic and quote this post too 🙏

I don’t know. I reckon it’s very possible that he had slipups in the 70s — I read his bio and I reckon it fits.

… spaces with your fingers but most gratifyingly with your thumbs.

Lucky dad. That would have been pretty early on because Barry became a strict teetotaller.

This song’s use of the word ‘date’ is unknown in North America. Example: Retailer: “Would you like the most up-to-date stockings?” Customer: “No, to just above the knees will be fine.”

Hi Sonia, it’s my alt account. Im on both of them attempting (attempting mind you) to generate some humour by pretending to be a manager who doesn’t like his client’s music much. Something like that. It’s a shaky conceit, but I’ll see where it leads. Humphries was Edna’s manager. Have a great Sat!

Hey #SBS supporters (despite the fossil fuel ads). This is a cool show. Had a good old mate who passed away in 2020 who was a dead ringer for Ethan Hawke’s character in this, only smaller and surlier. #auspol

#HomeMadeMusic Hello, Wiz Ball and fellow songwriters! Here's my song about endings. It's called "Walk Away". Thanks for listening. 👋😀 The video features remixed footage from the 1968 public-domain film "Appalachia: Rich Land, Poor People", by Lee Lockwood and Don Lenzer. #musiciansky #musicsky

In a little Tokyo bar a Japanese man asked me how old I am. I told him. He said “I’m 81.” He could’ve been 81 or 69. Later as I lay in bed, I realised 81 is exactly how many years it’s been since 1945.

On the ‘everyone has an angle’ thesis: 1. A guy who made purple his own: purple bike (horizontal of course), purple socks and hair.

What type of government do you get if the population watches cartoons and blockbusters for 80 years?

He probably had a theory about and hierarchy of ‘wankers’: the born wanker, the aspiring wanker. A friend of mine put a sticker on his desk that said ‘wanker’. I might get a t-shirt with it, walk the streets and see what happens. Probably be very safe in Bondi but in danger in .. somewhere else.

Sometimes I get the feeling people use ‘Gadigal’ country to disguise living in Glebe. 😁😇 It’s just a vague feeling, mind. #auspol

You need something very smooooth. Try the SteelyDan dealer 🤣

When a loved one makes a mistake, say the word #mindfulness and see what happens.

Thanks for letting me know about Sat. and how the hashtag works. I look forward to hearing some other music. Oz is a tricky Timezone. 🙏

I've published a 32 minute excerpt from the album "A Morning at Sweetwater Lagoon" on my Youtube channel. This album was recorded in Lakefield National Park, Cape York, Australia and features the sounds of a remote tropical lagoon early in the morning. youtu.be/dop2QimqGIY #soundscape #wildoz

Flooded by dopamine (let’s say after a really hard virtuous jogging session) I met an alpaca in the streets of Byron being walked by a man in a kilt (everyone has an angle). That camel fluttered its eyelids (it knew exactly what it was doing) and you know I could’ve invited it home for coffee.

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.
