September is here in the 2017 Maynard calendar, and to celebrate the burst of colour that is Spring, it’s in full black & white monochrome.
Do you recognise everyone pictured?
There’s Stuart Wagstaff & Rachael Beck from my appearance on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. The Teen Queens when they dropped in on Mind Twist one Saturday morning. DJ Sveta and myself DJing at Sydney Mardi Gras Fair Day, and a publicity shot from Triple J breakfast show.
Simon Le Bon talks to Maynard ahead of the Duran Duran Australian tour in 2010.
For one brief hour, just this once, I’ll be playing at the Electronique monthly New Wave afternoon this Sunday 3rd September with a New Romantic set sure to impress the shoulder pads off you all.
Duran Duran, ABC, Spandau Ballet, Lene Lovich and even Blue Rondo a la Turk will be played between 4-5pm after which I will possibly be asked to leave the building by management, leaving Mark Vick & Jade to Grey to continue the regular New Wave sounds of the afternoon through to 10pm.
That’s at Harpoon Harrys 4-5pm Sunday.
Maynard plays a touch of New Romantic with Jay Katz
1984, a time that thermonuclear war was even more tangible than now. AND we supposedly had adults in charge then.
Using 2 Nagra reel to reel tape machines, I put this together in my lounge room in Newcastle East one night in 1984.. Wacky and very 1984. It was for broadcast on 2NUR-FM “Radio Stupid”.
The Doomsday Machine….

Voice of the Beehive played toured Australia in 1992 and rocked my world during their Sydney shows in 1992.
Voice of the Beehive sisters Tracey Bryn & Melissa Brooke Belland, as well as Daniel “Woody” Woodgate (Madness) blew into the Triple J studios one Friday afternoon. Wearing fairy outfits and waving magic wands with Woody sporting a huge grin, I knew this interview was going to be fun. It was. The songs I Walk The Earth, Perfect Place, Don’t Call Me Baby, Adonis Blue and their power pop cover of I Think I Love You are some of my favourite pop songs of the late 80s/early 90s.
Voice of the Beehive played Enmore Theatre and the northern beaches while in Sydney in 1992 and I never have found out the secret about the possible surfer guy or why Woody always has a clean white t-shirt on tour.

Have some fun with Melissa & Tracey as the show off their fashion and dance moves 1988 style.
Voice of the Beehive join a top lineup to play Indie Daze in London, October 4.

Bunga Bunga 37 is a show unlike any we’ve done before, sorta.

Tim is your host and Maynard is his date.
Young Maynard learns an important lesson about paying closer attention to Tim when in public.
Tim learns a lesson about, well, he doesn’t really learn anything at all, come to think of it.

Having only met George Takei the once, last time he was in Sydney, I found him to be a total charmer and exactly the kind of guy you’d love to meet at a cocktail party. No matter what planet it was held on.
These clips should give you something to talk about with him on top of his constant media presence for the last 50 years, alleged difficulties with William Shatner, support of same sex marriage worldwide, reality TV show and his outspoken opinions on the new Sulu character in Star Trek.
We’ll be taking the Planet maynard podcast to George Takei’s shows in Sydney, so if you see us there don’t be shy. George won’t be.
All ahead full stop!
George Takei has had to postpone his Australian visit due to him getting actual movie work in July.
NOW HEAR THIS (write it in your Captain’s Log)
The New Dates now for An Evening with George Takei are:
MELBOURNE TOWN HALL
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 16
