Video – Maynard Madd Club livestream – May 29

The sixth and final One Man Madd Club live stream happened in a way that makes you wonder why Mark Zuckerberg didn’t step in earlier.

Maynard reads an email from Mark while celebrating the silly things in life.

Music from Messiah (not that one), New Order, Tom Jones, Spandau Ballet, Bobby Darin und more…

It’s the opposite of burlesque

Maynard asks to you two questions you have to answer, before you are allowed out of lockdown.

The fifth One Man Madd Club live stream went off with some trouble due to Facebook blocking. But after I rang the Facebook after-hours number and did my fantastic Mark Z voice, they gave me the keys to Facebook.

Lots of outfits you haven’t seen previously here. My favourite comment on the show was “more costume changes than Liberace”. High praise indeed. Although the lack of a belt caused a wardrobe malfunction that wasn’t seen.

Here’s the show in its entirety. Enjoy, and tune in on Friday at 8:30-9:00pm.

Enjoy my striped cardigan.

Maynard brings you the music videos of 1978

Rewind 1978 show Channel V

It’s 1978 on Rewind

Maynard decided to take a look at 1978 in this Rewind show from Foxtel’s now axed Channel V music network.

With the help of our volunteer from the viewing audience and two hangers-on near the couch we bring you the year that was 1978, from the point of view of 1999.

Top 25 songs from Australian chart 1978

Some of the other Rewind shows here (there are even more if you look)

Kylie Minogue on Rewind with Maynard 1997

1997 was a great year for Kylie Minogue, living in the busy Kylieworld of Pop.

Kylie Minogue thinking about the Kylieworld of 1997

Living in the land of Britpop, Kylie had been working on her Impossible Princess album for two years.

“Kylieworld” was the way she described her publicity schedule, level of fame and the concept of never really having to work again if she didn’t want to.

I asked her about her relationship with her record company (Deconstruction in the UK) and the future opportunities of working in the US.

She spoke about having a family (decades away), what music she’d enjoyed lately (The Verve) and about being turned away from a Club with Nick Cave the week before (they weren’t).

Kylie also gave definitive rulings on: “What to look for at a potential boyfriend’s place?”, “Favourite track of Impossible Princess?” and of course “Your favourite music clip up to now?”.

Revisit 1997’s Kylie Minogue. I’d even wear that shirt again.
