Canos: The band in a box.

Last update: Thursday 2 February 2012 at 11:29 pm

There’s no riddle that goes “What do you call 8 people crammed into a room the size of my toilet making beautiful music?”, but if there was, the punchline would be Canos. Now, although that may not be a very funny riddle, it was a very splendid experience. The other week I was lucky enough [...]...read more

Planning an Episode of TMT

Last update: Friday 13 January 2012 at 2:07 pm

Most people listening to radio programs think that doing a radio program is a very simple thing and that all you have to do is to go into a studio with a few CDs and talk. That might be fine if you are doing a ‘music’ program and only announce the names of the tracks and add a little banter here and there, but even then, time has to be spent planning the music and then sourcing and collecting...read more

2012 AFL GRAND FINAL: THE MODERN DAY TEAM CAN’T WIN BACK T

Last update: Thursday 29 December 2011 at 4:04 am

It’s the second time in three years that a team has failed winning back to back premierships, leaving us all to wonder, is it possible in today’s AFL league? The cats had gone from champs to legends, but in 07, 09, and 11, always a year in between. Even the super swans failed back in 06, but came a lot closer than the cats in 08 and the Pies in 2011. But why are they failing? Being a cats...read more

Gaydar....do you have it? Does it exist?

Last update: Wednesday 22 June 2011 at 6:45 pm

We hear so often of this term in our community - that being "gaydar!"

Elliot Goldenthal: The Alien in Opera

Last update: Monday 24 January 2011 at 11:26 am

Last year I met met a cast member of one the Alien films and was prompted to go back to watch the quadrilogy. I was shocked to realise that I hadn't actually seen Alien. I'd seen clips and parodies and thought I'd seen it, but no. Watching it I see why it spawned to many sequels. It's a genuine masterpiece of film. Scott and Giger are a wonder team and I lament that fact that they never completed...read more

Rigoletto - "isn't that a type of pasta?"

Last update: Saturday 11 December 2010 at 7:41 pm

Perhaps you're thinking rigatoni - the tubular pasta in small, ribbed pieces? But Rigoletto, my beloved subjects, is Verdi's tale of the world-weary, luckless court jester. Orchestra Victoria under the baton of Slovenian Maestro Marko Letonja, just as in The Marriage of Figaro, give a flawless performance of the score - however, Verdi's score couldn't be any more different to the light-hearted optimism of Mozart's romantic-comedy. There's an unavoidable feeling of dread in the stomach of this...read more
