Maynard interviews the mighty Tom Jones for radio Triple J in 1988, just before Tom released “Kiss” in Australia, and then for 2SER, backstage at Sydney Entertainment Centre after his 1995 concert.
Hear the legend, his voice, and his secret of long lasting pants.
I get my trousers specially made. So busted pants for me are now a thing of the past.

I’ve never taken myself too seriously. If I’m going to do an up tempo song, I’ll have fun with it.

Video – Olivia Newton John – off her skates.
Olivia Newton John was in Brisbane in 1999 and Maynard renewed his acquaintance with her for an hour, talking about her music and movie career.
Starting with Sam (1977), then Grease (1979), on to Xanadu (1980) and then to her getting Physical (1981).
It was the 20th anniversary of the Grease movie and soundtrack, and she discussed her nervousness at auditioning for the role of Sandy for Alan Carr, even though he had specifically asked her to take the role, after meeting her at a dinner party at Helen Reddy’s Los Angeles home.
In this show you’ll be transported (on roller skates) by Olivia performing songs from the movie Xanadu on the grand final of the Countdown Xanadu Dance contest.
The show starts with her early sound, and takes you through her pop and movie career, then goes full circle back to her latest Country release.
Some of the other Rewind shows here (there are even more if you look)
Rewind Rude show Channel V
If you want rude video clips you can’t tell your Mum about, this is the music video show for you.
Bums, boobs and bad habits are on show in this rude show from 1999 on Channel V.
From Betty Page to Duran Duran, Sir Mi-A-Lot to Latex, there’s something for no one on Maynard’s naughty journey through pop.

Video – Maynard Madd Club livestream – May 29
The sixth and final One Man Madd Club live stream happened in a way that makes you wonder why Mark Zuckerberg didn’t step in earlier.
Maynard reads an email from Mark while celebrating the silly things in life.
Music from Messiah (not that one), New Order, Tom Jones, Spandau Ballet, Bobby Darin und more…
Video – Maynard guest DJ on Neil Humes Funky Friday livestream.
A crossover DJ livestream. After finishing his One man Madd Club show, Maynard walked to Neil Hume’s place (does Maynard seem like the kind of person that would be allowed in an Uber?)
Neil livestreams every Friday night from 9pm with the help of his Russian Blue, Catrouska. She even makes a cameo in this show.
This show has Batman, Henry Mancini & some poor dance moves from Maynard.

The fifth One Man Madd Club live stream went off with some trouble due to Facebook blocking. But after I rang the Facebook after-hours number and did my fantastic Mark Z voice, they gave me the keys to Facebook.
Lots of outfits you haven’t seen previously here. My favourite comment on the show was “more costume changes than Liberace”. High praise indeed. Although the lack of a belt caused a wardrobe malfunction that wasn’t seen.
Here’s the show in its entirety. Enjoy, and tune in on Friday at 8:30-9:00pm.

Do the Batusi, or one of the many imaginative dances I cook up.
A cardboard Uma can be your friend too.

Rewind 1978 show Channel V
Maynard decided to take a look at 1978 in this Rewind show from Foxtel’s now axed Channel V music network.
With the help of our volunteer from the viewing audience and two hangers-on near the couch we bring you the year that was 1978, from the point of view of 1999.

One Man Madd Club, livestream 1st May
Kylie Minogue with Maynard Channel V 1997
1997 was a great year for Kylie Minogue, living in the busy Kylieworld of Pop.
Living in the land of Britpop, Kylie had been working on her Impossible Princess album for two years.
“Kylieworld” was the way she described her publicity schedule, level of fame and the concept of never really having to work again if she didn’t want to.
I asked her about her relationship with her record company (Deconstruction in the UK) and the future opportunities of working in the US.
She spoke about having a family (decades away), what music she’d enjoyed lately (The Verve) and about being turned away from a Club with Nick Cave the week before (they weren’t).
Kylie also gave definitive rulings on: “What to look for at a potential boyfriend’s place?”, “Favourite track of Impossible Princess?” and of course “Your favourite music clip up to now?”.
Revisit 1997’s Kylie Minogue. I’d even wear that shirt again.
