A Sixpack of The Coldest 100

The Coldest 100 was the creation of Andrew Sholl on Twitter in 2016 and has been the Giddy Uncle of Triple J’s Hottest 100 ever since. Anyone can have a guess at the hottest song of the year, but who has ever nominated the Bunnings theme or Kylie Minogue performing her version of Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep?

Andrew only does this on Twitter (he has a real job) and releases his Coldest 100 in parallel with what ever number Triple J is up too.

The Coldest 100 can best be described as questionable songs by Australians and about Australia. So Andrew Sholl sat down with me at The Madame Frou Frou Cafe to sample a sixpack of his 100 cold ones.

Bunga Bunga 51 – Maynard & Tim Ferguson

Subscribe: Email | TuneIn | RSS

Bunga Bunga 51 brings you all the hope and excitement of 2019. Thus making you really nostalgic for 2018 almost immediately.

Tim Ferguson & Maynard or Maynard & Tim Ferguson, but probably all four of them, have the starts and the smarts to show you a good time in January as we venture into a very certain uncertain political landscape.

Maynard is starting a new Saturday night of retro grooves in Sydney at Red Bar in March and Tim is taking his new solo show on tour across Australia.

Bunga Bunga 51 also leads you down the comedy back alleys less travelled as we meet Richard Wilkins, an unattended chicken and wake up to smell the cupcakes (or is that onions?).

Lance Leopard changes his spot

Lance Leopard is a gay icon and legendary gossip columnist from the glamorous 1990s of the Oxford Street strip, and beyond. Join us in Lance Leopard’s new spot. An ivory tower high above the fray, overlooking Darlinghurst, where secrets are both hidden and revealed.

During his tenure as chief gossip and stirrer of The Scene in his weekly columns in The Star Observer, Capital Q, Out Biz and more, he dished the dirt and smeared the eyeliner without fear or favour.

Lance even has celebrity advice for Dannii Minogue (a child superstar), Cybill Shepherd (selfish bitch) and his Mum (Ikeep my manners around her and try and teach her a few).

Join us for drinks won’t you?

I present short history of quotes from Lance Leopard;

“I can admit it now because I’m retired”

“People “remember” me doing all sorts of things. It might not have been me they actually remember. It could have been Sexy Galexy for all I know.”

“The more you do something, the better you get at it. Or else you’re always dreadful and no one will tell you.”

“Brisbane is like Baltimore, it’s one of those nutty little towns that just has its own thing.”

“I don’t know if I should say this.”

“If people are complaining there isn’t a scene. They can go out there and make one.”

“I liked it when my columns were in magazines people had to actually buy. I made more of an effort then.”

“Everybody has an opinion now days. But if it’s not an informed opinion, it’s a lousy opinion, and who needs to hear it?”

When asked at what point in history Lance would have liked to have lived;

“I would have picked the good years of Versailles. Before everybody got angry and started demanding cake.”

On the world of gossip a learned Lance quotes Ru Paul;

“What people say about you behind your back is none of your business.”

Bunga Bunga Live! The Festival of Dumb Ideas. Act 1 – reboot

Bunga Bunga went live with The Festival of Dumb Ideas on Tuesday night. Here is Act 1 of an important moment in Bunga Bunga history.

Live from The Harold Park Hotel (how did Tim get upstairs?) in Glebe, 2037.

Tim Ferguson and Maynard risk it all in a grab for podcasting glory.

Act 1 contains a lot of goofin’ and over 50% of the content edited out. If you weren’t there, you’ll never know why.

Also if we libelled you (and we did) your lawyer will never know why.

Enjoy our even handed treatment of the same sex marriage referendum and Tim’s Historical Hypothetical.
