“These are political issues that I have awoken into by being gay, becoming a mother, trying to raise daughters in this time of the world. If you are not political, you are lying to yourself.” WindBackWednesday gets into all the weeds with Brandi Carlile. www.bernardzuel.net/post/why-bra...
It's true @brandicarlile79.bsky.social is a friend to many a big name & heroine to many a no-name but what's driving her? While she's on tour - sadly not here - WindBackWednesday pulls together 3 stories into one for a glimpse of the faith & maybe even fury inside www.bernardzuel.net/post/why-bra...
Telling framing decision when a story about a long-protected US politician, son-in-law of another politician, is credibly accused of serious violence against wife & child by current & former partners, & the headline is “ugly family feud threatens to upend election race”. A feud is the issue??
What for me is a true capital and which is a side effect. Last not least destroys the nature and us. #morningpop #davidsylvian #gonetoearth
That the media love nothing more than a self-stroke is not new, but the volume of free, mostly unmediated publicity all outlets have given to every brain fart & excrescence of Stefanovic & Sandilands is more embarrassing than the programs themselves.
It isn't going to be the last thing said about this, but it needs to be heard. Especially for those of us who respected/followed him. From Neko Case. nekocase.substack.com/p/in-what-fu...
IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE?
This last week I was just cookin’ along minding my business when I suddenly found myself quite depressed.

The suburban man who writes crime novels, sport yarns & horsey books for teens could tell you a thing or two about making music for 50yrs thanks to a song about finding life was easier for boys from the city. So here's a Dave Warner (no, the other one) story. www.bernardzuel.net/post/dave-wa...

He's losing words. Anyone with a parent or loved one suffering from dementia will recognize this pattern. Wen he says "moving cameras," it's because he can't recall the word "videos" and so he's stating the component parts as best he can. E.g., a "camera" is involved and the images are "moving"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "We have photographs or tapes -- like moving cameras, right? -- where people are on the side cutting it with a box knife."
“I remember getting really early on in the band’s days a letter saying that my music was like the 3rd gear of a truck that was stuck & couldn’t get out of gear.” The Dave Warner who doesn't drink-drive but does spin tales, on 50yrs of writing from the suburbs. www.bernardzuel.net/post/dave-wa...

ABC sport reporter tonight declared the new NSW coach will be “coronated” soon. In other news, if your job choice has the ABC versing other companies, positions are available irregardless of edjumacation. And that.
For those new to the entertainment/sports figure finally revealed as yet another rapist today, you might mock his unlikely tresses now but you don't know his many years as the most famous comb-over in Melbourne.
Looking forward to the young female athletes & rising women in other fields who were helped, sometimes housed, & supported by Alan Jones, appearing as witnesses at his trial. So we can see his generosity of spirit, his love of a fair go, his defence of youthful errors, & in doing so shame the haters
The new playlist gives us Thee Sacred Souls, Julia Cumming & Ed Kuepper, Marianne Faithfull, Richard Thompson & Laura Lee, Robyn Hitchcock, Marina Allen & Chairmen Of The Board, Liz Cooper, Susan Raye & The Unthanks +12 more to hear & enjoy. open.spotify.com/playlist/0bX...
This is a magnificent speech at Garry Sobers’ funeral. Obama-level oratory that never felt stitched together from various cloths of nationalism and fandom and sport, but one thread of respect and honour. www.instagram.com/reel/DbZBlcp...

Dammit, Tony Abbott is right (again!): crusader Liberal factions should be allowed to subvert electoral laws, milk an education system, undermine a religious community, lie, & threaten MPs without nanny state regulator hit jobs. It was good enough for the Borgias!

A neighbour of a famous actor - not the actor, nor connected in any way but the shared lift - sold a unit last week. Thank god for the big headline story in Saturday’s paper otherwise my weekend could have gone without this information. And how could I live in Sydney then? #thatswhaticallnews
Free and easy, that’s my style. Howdy-do me? Watch me smile. #morningpop #sundayvinyl #barbrastreisand #thesecondbarbrastreisandalbum
Maybe when our hearts have re-aligned, maybe when we both have time, I’m gonna see you there. #morningpop #glenhansard #rhythmandrepose
FIFA President Infantino announces the FIFA privatization scheme will NOT proceed after fierce backlash and growing divisions over the plan. The reversal comes after European nations announced a boycott and CONCACAF rejected the proposal, which involved a private equity deal tied to the Kushners.
