In this Channel V, Rewind show Maynard looks at the year 1987, a year that featured a lot of big hits and big hair.
See the smash hits from Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Pseudo Echo, Was (Not Was) and plenty more you thought you’d put behind you.
The One Man Madd Club show really stepped up its game this time. To just below par.
Hear some tunes from TISM, Painters & Dockers, even Donna Summer. Maynard’s Madd Club has both sorts of music, and you mightn’t like either of them.
Enjoy the Maynard fashions from Astro Boy to Demis Roussos. Some powerful colours and pants there.
In this Rewind show from 1997 you’ll have the usual retro excitement you expect from Maynard on an old VHS tape.
There’s the opening tension of the best plate spinning on cable TV followed by Adam Ant, Human League and The Fat Boys.

Bunga Bunga 63 brings the joy of film, music and maritime safety right up your astral plane.
Tim Ferguson and Maynard hold aloft their disappointing splendour of sound. This time it’s serious film critic vs comedy and Tim takes it personally. Maynard ponders that Whitney might have saved the Titanic.
So as usual Bunga Bunga leaves a mess.
There is no cure for a grumpy cat, except to put them in a leadership position.

Kinselas nightclub Sydney is the setting for this journey through the Rewind Volume 2 CD (disc one).
The renovations to the middle bar had the place looking as clean as it was ever going to be. So I’m sure you’ll enjoy the decor in between the music clips.
You’ll cop tracks from MC Hammer, Bananarama, Ce Ce Peniston, Beats International, Sunscream, Snap, Blondie, Kriss Kross, De La Soul and more. It’s a packed show.
Deee-Lite was Towa Tei and DJ Dimitry, with Lady Miss Kier cooing out front of a wicked bass groove produced by legendary 70s funkster Bootsy Collins & Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest. This track is from the World Clique album featuring a lot of faux fur.
Kriss Kross are the winners of the stupidest street clothing look of the 1990s. These two thirteen year old kids Chris Smith and Chris Kelly wore their pants backwards. No wonder their follow up was called I Missed The Bus.
This Saturday night on Channel V, yet more precision roller-skating from Emma & Leah of Q Bar Sydney, while Maynard presents a collection of music clips just perfect for quarantine viewing.
The parade of pop continues with Suzi Quatro, ABBA, Rod Stewart, Barry Manilow, The Monkees, Do Re Mi, Sex Pistols, Pseudo Echo, Chic and more.
Resplendent in flanno pyjamas and tiger feet slippers, Maynard invites you to relax with a show which has something for everyone.
Allan Carr is the star on this show from 1999. Allan is on the phone from LA talking about his work on Grease, Can’t Stop The Music and his career as a producer.
Helping Maynard out with the show are Emma and Leah the rollerskating waitresses from Q Bar in Oxford Street, Sydney.
Tilley the wonder dog Whippet also appears courtesy of Smackos.
You’ll also hear lots of roller skating music from Allan Carr’s movies, you’ll see Spandeu Ballet, Transvision Vamp, Prince and a whole heap more…
Here’s another fun episode of Rewind.

It’s a half hour of colour and really far too much movement in the moody lighting of Maynard’s Madd Club livestream.
Top tunes from Tom Jones, Melissa, even Professor Elemental, with sounds to uplift you when you need it most.
We go on location to DJ Mark Alsop’s production studio to find how not wearing a shirt will get you into Pet Shop Boys show, and more.
Madd Club is back! Same Madd time: Friday 8:30pm Sydney (1030 UTC) same Madd channel: https://www.mixcloud.com/live/dj-maynard/

George Hrab has been a favourite of mine to interview since first meeting him in 2010 at TAM (The Amazing Meeting) Australia.
George is the fun filled science communicator-adjacent, overly-talented musician from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
I have known George for 10 years, but only met him 3 times. So of course we are best friends.
This 30 minutes has the usual wide ranging and seemingly random topics. Expect bathroom etiquette, attractive women wanting to kill you, and trombones.
From humble beginnings overcoming the shame of Moonraker being his first James Bond film, to performing around the world solo, with a string quartet or his usual 9 piece funk band The Philadelphia Funk Authority.
Whenever there’s a “big blow” on, I try to be in the bath.
George Hrab, Hydro Enthusiast
I am comfortable with my role as the brain sorbet of the science communication community.
