#Punk music has such power & meaning, especially if you were young & alienated. Found this old tape I made back then of US punk stuff #MusicSky #cassettes

#America. It’s estimated 120,000 books have been published about Nazi Germany. The world is suffering because of ignorance & you wouldn’t elect a black woman. It’s all there - from rise to fall. And 30 million dead. Stop #Trump en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliog...

You can make a p*rn film starring an England XI: Cox, Ball, Small, Jacks, Root, Tongue, Sidebottom, Saggers, Wood, Willey, Onions. #Ashes #cricket

It's about mocking someone's taste, especially when the band/artist means so much to them. Bizarrely, my partner doesn't like the Doors, but they don't post it & upset Doors fans (like me). Grateful Dead mean a lot to millions. Post about music you like, not denigrate other people's choices.

Many of us share this view, if not his best then in the top three.

Siri, show me an example of a talentless tosser who posts their own gastric discharges on social media to gain attention? @theduckman.bsky.social

Looks like I picked the wrong decade to give up drugs.

Social media poster calls for Royal Commission into why governments spend billions on already rich elite sports. Who cares how far someone throws a spear or heavy ball or high high someone jumps with a pole? #RoyalCommission #Auspol

Fascism cannot take hold without the complicity of: Judiciary. Church. Bureaucracy. #Americans can stop this, the power rests in these three institutions. Courts are enabling a brutal dictatorship. Again. Christian churches backing fascism. Again. Bureaucracy doing what they’re told. Again.

I couldn’t get this friggin’ ATM to work.

Berlin #Olympic Games football match. Boycott #FIFA #WorldCup in Trump’s #America. Don’t go there. Don’t watch games. Don’t enable dictators.

Dear #America. We know how this ends. You have two choices: Get out now. Overthrow the regime. Otherwise your country is doomed. #venezuela

UK prime minister Keir Starmer supports Trump’s illegal invasion of #Venezuela, saying it brings peace and stability to the region.

Dear God People say you exist. They pray to you. Donate money & make sacrifices. They place their faith in you. Build churches & temples. If you are real, then smite that demented sexually perverted crispy faced fat c**t. Kind regards, The sane world #Venezuela

We’re not in a post-war world, we’re in pre-war world & need to understand the implications. We must abandon AUKUS & break our umbilical cord with America. Become a Republic and be independent Pacific nation.

This is corrupt #FIFA awarding Trump their Peace Prize. Boycott World Cup in America. Don’t watch it, don’t go there, don’t enable FIFA & Trump. Learn the lesson from Berlin Olympics - appeasement doesn’t work. #RegimeChange #Demented #Dictator

It’s 1938 invasion of Sudetenland - but this time it’s Trump & America that are the fascists wanting to eliminate entire people & countries. #venezuela #war

One of my fave #vinyl covers: The World of Ike & Tina Turner. United Artists 1972. Gatefold. Terrific album, but what art work. #MusicSky

Suggest you look up bombing of Israeli Consulate & Hakoah Club in Sydney, December 1982. Happened long before Iraq, not deflecting from Howard’s war crimes & Australia’s collective culpability.

Spirit - Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonicus. Etched in my psyche is the first time I heard this album, an original US pressing, owned by an older, more experienced woman. Got stoned and played it over & over. A genuine masterpiece. Produced by David Briggs, Neil Young’s producer. #MusicSky

NZ had horrific terrorist attack from an Australian extremist.

Watched #MildredPierce more than any other movie. Saw it as a teenager & it blew my mind. Veda! It remains one of the greatest movies ever made. And I dreamed of being Monty Berrigan. #tcmparty #evearden

Peter Wolf - Waiting on the Moon. Arguably the most impressive autobiography / music book I’ve read. His stories resonate; it’s so much more than what he did etc, it’s about artists, people. literature, painting. It’s so good I rationed out the chapters. #MusicSky #BookSky

Absolutely. I stopped listening to Elton when I discovered #punk, only to return decades later. This was the album that made me appreciate his genius.

The same industry groups & CEOs who want a royal commission into #antisemitsim also opposed a First Nations Voice to Parliament- a Voice designed to prevent racism & violence against Aboriginal peoples. #auspol

Oh no, a 7 year old child just asked me: what's a love gun? There's no way I'm going to be able to properly answer this. #MusicSky

Made this tape 20 years ago & it still sounds great. #MusicSky #Tapes

Phantom Records, Ashwood's, Record Plant, Red Eye Records, Martin's, Lawsons & Waterfront Records - then home to work out how to pay rent, buy food & dope.😀

The Supremes - House of the Rising Sun. IMO, one of the truly great cover versions. I've owned my #vinyl for many decades now, bought it at Ashwood's in Sydney ($2.50) for those who remember one of the best record stores. It's so scratched and worn. #MusicSky.

@inkogneto.bsky.social Ironic that when First Nations people say this land is theirs, always was and always will be, you don't leave. Australians demanding other people recognise land dispossession is the ultimate hypocricy.

Why do sportspeople thank God when things go well for them, but never blame her when they fail? And surely she can't support every team and player?

I don't get it. They've got this over-the-top ridiculously extravagant #stereo system and they're playing a Barbara Streisand album? 😅

We're thinking of moving to Tralfamadore. Seems a far nicer place than Earth. And safer too. And so it goes. #Vonnegut #BillyPilgrim.

Pop over Benny, I’ll help you! Strawberries is a classic as is Phantasmagaoria, Black Album & Machine Gun. Also, later records like Darkadelic & Evil Spirts.

When I rule the world, no one will be allowed to eat & drink loudly during quiet scenes in movies Who The F munches popcorn during heart-rendering beautiful cinema? Barbarians. #MovieSky

Green On Red - what a great band (that hardly anyone remembers)

Testing out refurbished Musical Fidelity amp with array of #vinyl: Chet Baker-And Strings GOAT-Gallows Pole S'rack. Bert Jansch-Black Swan Tom Petty-Angel Dream Bevis Frond-Focus on nature Dr Feelgood-Singles UA Years Charles Mingus-East Coasting Alan Vega-Saturn Strip #MusicSky

Babel by R.F Kuang is a novel of pure genius. Was recommended to me; nah, I said, don't read this sort of fantasy genre. Read it. A startling, thrilling, academic, adventure story and account of colonialism, British elitism, racism, exploitation & power. #BookSky #Babel #Brexit

Perfect gift from my partner: Wings - The Story of a Band on the Run. Wings were the most maligned of groups, yet every LP has Beatles quality songs amid the filler. They were innovative, risk takers & so much fun. #MusicSky #MusicBooks

ABC somehow managed to secure a line up of Australia’s best wedding singers. #ABCNYE #ABC

Feels like the start of the new year.

Lol. I remember corrugated because it was flat roof.

Back in the day. Went out #NewYear to see a few bands, came home days later. Friends found me naked sitting on a roof. Not telling the kids that. Telling them to behave and be responsible 😂

#NewYear then & now. Then: let’s drop some acid, see a few bands & crawl home after sunlight. Now: let’s go to bed early & read a book about bands who took acid. (With herbal tea, ginger nut biscuit and cats.)

But though the masters make the rules For the wise men and the fools I got nothing, Ma, to live up to - Bob Dylan

Get what you're trying to say, but dozens of Palestinian Muslims weren't gunned down or severely injured on Bondi Beach; they were killed in a foreign conflict. Whatever one's views about foreign conflict, this is about recognising domestic terrorism. Why not Sudanese flag?

Same things happened to us. Told these people to shut up, said we’re at a music festival not a talking festival. They got all huffy. We suggested some anatomical experiments they should perform elsewhere.. 😂

Love you guys🌹

Preparing to end a rather dreadful year with the uplifting brilliance of Bob Dylan: Time Out of Mind Sessions. #MusicSky #BobDylan

Feel like we’re about to welcome in New Year for 1936. #NewYear
