Jedward are twice the fun in Sydney

Jedward, twins John & Edward Grimes, are Eurovision popsters and a double trouble ball of energy. They played Enmore Theatre, Sydney to an equally excited crowd of fans. Maynard got between the fans and between the Jedward twins to share a Jepic night.

Koko Wallace from Boys, Boys, Boys

That’s Koko Wallace making a “chickie boom” move with Bridget Turner & Jade Foo of Boys, Boys, Boys. Boys, Boys, Boys are from Perth and would like your attention for a moment. Koko packs well on tour, enjoys 90s techno and has an occasional potty mouth. Enjoy.

50 Years of JFK Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy archivist Jaimie Leonarder has been fascinated by the JFK assassination all his life. He has studied and read everything he can find on the subject. Today, 50 years on, what does he think of the various theories? Is the death of JFK still even relevant to Australia 50 years on? Jay brings his conspiracy facts.

Rocky Horror Night with Little Nell

Little Nell who played Columbia in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, was special guest last Friday night for a special screening of the movie. I spoke to her before the show about her career, tap dancing and mouse ears. Also hear from the happily perverted fans of the movie.

Tim Ferguson’s Big Stick

Carry A Big Shtick more like it.

Tim Ferguson has finally published his memoir, Carry A Big Stick, recalling his life and his intentionally comedic moments as well.

Ever since the very first time since I met Tim at the Adelaide Festival Fringe in 1986 when I presented the Doug Anthony All Stars with the “Pick Of The Fringe” award, that the Castanet Club had won the previous festival, I’ve wanted to see inside his house.

Well, dear listener, today is our day.

Tim opens up on his partners in comedy crime as well as his MS and his secret love for a film not made by George Lucas.

He also takes your questions, and you might not like his answers. I know I didn’t.

Tim Ferguson is my favourite failed NSW Senate candidate ever!

Me First & The Gimme Gimmes do Australia

Spike Slawson is excited about Me First & The Gimme Gimmes October tour of Australia. This late night interview contains swearing, Cat Stevens and making young children cry. If you like your songs furious and insane fast, this is your band.

Senator Tim Ferguson?

Tim Ferguson is running for New South Wales Senate under the Senator Online party. As usual, he has a lot to say.

“I will have no will of my own, I’ll make speeches, but I’ve got to do what you say”.

Best of all he claims he will look good doing it. He wants to be the new Natasha Stott Despoja.

Tim Ferguson wants to be your political puppet. In a democratically corrupt way.

“Democracy shouldn’t be something you do every three years with a hangover, then you get a sausage sandwich, go home and complain and whinge for the next three years.”

Dannii Minogue interview disc 1990

Dannii Minogue released this interview as a bonus disc in 1990 with her 2nd single Success in 1990. She was 18 and it was on my Triple J breakfast show. That is Dannii Minogue and myself demonstrating the “Mama Mia” look at the Mushroom 25 years concert, 14th November 1998.
