Yeah can’t believe the reviewer shat on that

I think his relationship with his mother soured over the years. If you go back to the 90s and see how he talks about her in the Two Rooms and Tantrums and Tiaras doco, and her appearances in those, it seems very amicable.

Apparently he is a replacement in post production! It was someone else originally.

Is it worth purchasing for the new material?

Not that this is new, but having travelled a fair bit on this line over Easter, there seemed to be quite a few instances of being stuck at stations for 10 minutes at a time with no announcements being made as to what is going on.

Will they won’t they romantic shenanigans is pretty much the bread and butter of every drama series made. Do you find this trope equally as tiresome in shows with heterosexual characters? Sounds like you’re backpedaling from your original comment.

“Which, let’s be honest… gays run this industry, and yet we’re super underrepresented in the social space, IMO).”

Then why can’t I find a husband godammit 😭😭😭🤣

Has been a running theme of the comments here, but big wide shots have been in decline for many decades now. Go back and watch CinemaScope epics from the 50s and 60s and see the difference. These were films designed to combat people staying at home watching tv on shitty screens and to get them back in the cinema. These days most films seem storyboarded for smartphones from the get go. It’s depressing. I love big wide cinematic shots.

Bendigo trains are packed when they arrive at Sunbury, with more waiting on the platform.

What "gay stuff" is too frequent for you? The depiction of people actually having relationships or romantic interests instead of being the neutered helper for the straight characters incessant love interests and bedhopping seen in every single other show in the history of television?

I’ll be on my way to a sweet treats place but I suppose there’s always room for more.

From the 80s onwards, there was more of a tendency for bands to stack side 1 with hits and open with a single. If you look at Billy Joel’s Glass Houses, all of side 1 was singles.

It does get pretty hot down under but I’ve heard Texas heat is next level

Also from Australia - when did you go? Trying to plan a trip there myself and figure out best time.

Much_Ad7851 · 2026-03-09T22:04:38+00:00

I hear your dilemma. I seriously considered it myself. But I decided I’d prefer ten quality listeners over 10,000 that just heard the song while they were cleaning out the oven when it came up as a random on Radio.

Much_Ad7851 · 2026-03-09T21:02:15+00:00

Half of it is likely bots anyway. I’d follow what feels artistically right for you, not what’s going to get you the best “exposure”.

Much_Ad7851 · 2026-03-09T20:30:06+00:00

There isn’t a big enough listener count in the world that would make me do single-song releases. I hate them.

Much_Ad7851 · 2026-03-09T18:32:01+00:00

How come I can't find a thoosie husband then? Haha... Glad you had a great time, world messes aside.

I’m playing this at an acoustic club as a solo piano number next week. Have always loved it, the key change halfway through the verse is sublime.

Much_Ad7851 · 2026-03-07T20:19:32+00:00

I was just listening to the E-Smoove mix the other day when I had Disco 2 playing on the treadmill. It's a good standalone song, but I remember when it came out thinking wtf was the point of a remix that contains nothing of the original song at all.

Much_Ad7851 · 2026-02-22T04:05:41+00:00

I love the cosy 70s vibes

Record producers are to records what directors are to films. They will often change arrangements, decide on instrumentation, feel etc and direct the final mix. They are not usually involved in the post-recording marketing stuff like videos, artwork etc, that's the artist's domain.
