Prepare yourself for the video livestream of the warmest parts of The Coldest 100, 2022.
Maynard hosts a video livestream of Australia’s own Coldest 100 – 2022. Saturday 5th March 8.30-9.30pm. Hand picked by Andrew Scholl, it will feature world class musical shonk that only Australia can produce.
The Coldest 100 is songs about Australia, that somehow don’t work out that well…
Expect to see 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 doing their bit to get on the show.
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…

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.
This year Maynard wakes up from his 2020 Xmas show and decides maybe 1982 may be a better Xmas to celebrate.
Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain, Bridgette Handley, Tony Push, The Castanet Club, Frank Bennett, James Valentine and a few cats.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2021. Lesley Fountain (Glenn Keenan) romances an apple.
What I was playing during the festivities on the final night of The Castanet Club exhibit at Newcastle Museum. Three hours of uncool cool. With smatterings of Castanet Club and Musical Flags tracks.

Chit Chat von Loopin Stab and Tony Whittaker have made the best (and only) documentary on The Castanet Club. The Castanet Club Story.
Chit Chat drops in to tell Maynard the story behind the Story.

Just look at what he wrote about us…
What The Castanet Club achieved in their 9 years would impact the landscape of Australian entertainment for the next 20yrs. The rise of Triple J, Sandman and Flacco, Young Einstein, Good News Week, Channel [V], Play School, Sale of the Century, Full Frontal, Happy Feet, Fast Forward, Kath, and Kim and even Mambo T-shirts are in some way connected to this remarkable group of unfashionable humans.

Half hour Castanet Club Story documentary with lots of interviews with members and even Tim Ferguson, Paul Livingston, John Doyle & Jane Turner turn up to talk about Castanet Club history and what we are doing now…
On Maynard’s latest video livestream he took the attention temperature of Australia’s cats to, anything really. Whatever you are doing that doesn’t involve feeding them does not impress.

Maynard celebrates his opening up, and we all find out how excited the people and cats of Australia are about that.
The whole shabang has a heap of great tunes, fun and foolishness.
Lots of guests, including Tim Ferguson, George Hrab, Tony Push, Richard Saunders (dancing) and introducing Leslie Fountain as our new “choreography correspondent”.
There is an unseen version of Venus from The Castanet Club from 1986 that will give you some lighting tips.
Also thrill to Tea Towel Time and the Smart Ass Quiz with my silent co-hosts hippo Anderson Cooper and teddy Noam Chomsky.
Bring your cat.
I promise average entertainment for no apparent reason.
