To warm you up for the video livestream spectacular (Lesley Fountain’s Wonderful World of Dance) Maynardarama goes live from one corner of my room Batman pyjamas and all (with fly sewn up) for some 1997 retro sights and sounds.
WARNING: contains unexplained facial hair (a goatstache).
Maynard features the mighty Tom Jones in an hour with Tom goodness and Tom voice, and featuring the Tom moves that makes him the legend he is today.
This show has everything: dancing, prancing and panting in the time honoured fashion of everything Tom. Enjoy! (We did.)
You’ll see some of Tom’s biggest and most exciting songs as well as friends and collaborators over the years: The Cardigans, Barry Crocker, Talking Heads, even an interview by a slightly confused Molly Meldrum.

Bunga Bunga 71 reaches across the aisle to goose your jaded pooka.
Tim Ferguson calls the upcoming Federal election. It was when Labor was ahead by 10 points. But he’s probably right, yet again. Maynard risks COVID by going out and working Electric Dreams on the 30th.
In a show described by media pundits as “you get what you get and you don’t get upset” Tim and Maynard talk a big game and leave you with a free kick that you never knew you needed.
Your Crankmail asks about Telly Savalas, Ricardo Montalban, and just what was that nice lady on Romper Room doing with that mirror? Do you really think Bunga Bunga 71 has the answers…
“Time for big ideas Australia. Let’s build a Sydney Harbour Bridge to Adelaide. Sure, we’ll regret it later, but now is the time!”
Tim Ferguson – Uncivil Engineer
Tim’s new modern not-at-all-like-Davros electric wheelchair gets a test drive while we visit 1994 and ruin another Historical Hypothetical with the help of the Premier of NSW.
“Buckle in for a policy free, vision absent six weeks election campaign where occasionally The Greens will stand up and say ‘Clive Palmer shouted at us’.”

This time on the enlightening falsehood that is Bunga Bunga 70, Tim Ferguson and Maynard lead you on a wild goose chase down the rabbit hole of froth and bubble.
You’ll encounter manic expansionism, lack of credibility, confused animals, three word headlines and The Brothers Gibb.
Tim insults the young, Paul Livingstone decries Tim’s art, then they announce an art exhibition in June together.
“If you are sporting a mullet today, don’t tell me you can’t dress like Boy George tomorrow.”
Tim Ferguson – fashion plate
We hear you peeing, ask which side Tim’s cat is on, bemoan the lack of banana diplomatic representation, find a new job for the Prime Minister, ask who is your favourite Bernard and pose the perennial question “when does ugh boot season officially start?’.
In time travel news: 1982 is back, so learn how to talk all art school. Might come in handy next time you enter the Archibald prize.
Should the next Doctor Who be a cat? Should it have a limp? Are baked desserts part of the ABC News charter?
Bunga Bunga 70 is beguiling yet ribald as Maynard appreciates the subtle use of a Greek fisherman’s cap while Tim still wants to know why you are so ignorant. Don’t even get him started on kale…
“Most young people couldn’t even decide what colour helmet to wear if they went into space.”
Tim Ferguson – magnanimous

A hungry nation, starved of good news and well meaning carry-on, enjoyed Brain Freeze with 30 odd (very odd) video clips from the 2022 Coldest 100.
From Kylie, to Muppets to Barry Crocker and Melissa Tkautz, it’s 90 minutes YOU don’t have to apologise for.
Keep an eye out for special guests Tim Ferguson, Brigitte Handley, Lesley Fountain/Glenn Keenan & DJ Mark Alsop and others that should know better, drop in to add to the cultural carnage.
@OzKitsch on Twitter has been compiling this list every January for the last seven years. So about time someone made a video show out of it….

Australia’s Coldest 100 returns this Saturday with world class musical shonk that only Australia can produce.
Just look at this list of artists that you’ll never see on the same list or even in the same sentence.
Don Lane, Kyle Sandilands, Liza Minnelli, Ben Fordham, James Reyne, Samuel L Jackson, Barry Crocker, The Muzak Corporation, Wickety Wak, Lorrae Desmond, Frankie J Holden, Wilbur Wilde, Barry Crocker, Dean Martin, Victorian Police Cadets Skipping Team and the Big Brother cast of 2001 for just a start.
As well as wonderful regional jingles that remind you that major hubs of industry such as Toowoomba and Tasmania are still there.
The Coldest 100 knows the intersection of corporate thinking and opportunistic musicians…
After all, any dingbat can put together a list of good songs. It take a certain kind of goose like Andrew Sholl to put together 100 songs of Australian musical flotsam for 7 years in a row now.
The Coldest 100 is songs about Australia, sometimes they just don’t work out that well…
Andrew Sholl
It will all be going down from 9am Saturday 22nd January on Twitter @Ozkitsch Andrew Sholl shows no sign of modifying his musical taste.
If this music irks you, you’re probably on the wrong website. But if you have that clip of Don Lane singing the theme from Hawaii 5-0, let us know so Andrew can put it in next year.
