Australia’s Coldest 100 returns in January with some world class musical awkwardness that only Australia can produce. From The Bum Dance to Song of Wollongong, this list of 100 songs about Australia or by Australians (who may have received bad career advice) is a must for fans of the musical road less travelled.
The Coldest 100 is the creation of Andrew Sholl. He’s been featuring it on Twitter since 2016 and so far this year the combined worldwide interest in his list has seen 75 million views. So put that in your slouch hat and smoke it.
Every year I’m asked two questions: Where’s Johnny Farnham? and Where’s Alan Jones?
Andrew Sholl
I didn’t know Alan Jones was a singer, and I’m still not sure. But he gives I Am Australian a red hot try.
Any chance Alan gets to perform he’s up it like a rat up a rope.
Andrew Sholl
@Ozkitsch Andrew Sholl has been at this for 5 years now and he shows no sign of running out of Aussie musical oddities.
Look and listen to The Coldest 100 2020
Maynard’s Mastermind returns as the We Don’t Care Quiz to suit the awkward zeitgeist that 2021 will become. (Trigger warning, two German words appear in this 50 minute show)
Join Maynard, Richard Saunders, and inflatable hippo Anderson Cooper as we test your knowledge of Australian retro music up to 1998.
Questions on everything from Aunty Jack to The Unbearable Lightness of Being a Dickhead. What could be more Australian than that?
If you have any issues with the We Don’t Care Quiz, you have our answer already.
Rage via VHS tape from possibly the only time it did a live outside broadcast. Maynard hosted Rage from 1987/88 RAT party in at Hordern Pavillion, Sydney goofing with the crowd.
The live cross at midnight has the Castanet Club in the background finishing their gig that night, then some New Year’s thoughts from the crowd, a run down the giant slide, a visit to an unimpressed DJ Tim Richie, then goodbye from the central dance floor at the Hordern Pavillion.
These all went to air between music clips played in back at ABC-TV at Gore Hill between 12-1am NYE 1987/88.
Its a Madd New Year from 9pm New Year’s Eve through to 1am. Video livestream LIVE at Mixcloud.
Every Madd Club video livestream from this year. PLUS at midnight Maynard live to air interviews (direct from VHS) at NYE 1987/88 Rage Hordern RAT party.
THEN get your groove on watching the hot retro explosion that was Ant, Kate & Maynard working The Moshpit, Newtown in Septembertill about 1am.
Get your kook on with a Madd New Year.. See you in the chat room from 9pm.
Facebook event for Madd New Year
Maynard Mixcloud live page from 9pm – 1am New Year’s Madd
The power and retro poise of Aussie women is on display in this show unseen since 2000.
Groove to clips from Kate Cebrano, Christie Allen, Collette, Divinyls, Renee Geyer, Melissa, Jo Kennedy and of course Kylie AND Dannii.
Get your panties into a bunch (I pre bunched mine) and prepare to clutch your “pearls” as we scare the gihoodie out of you with this Halloween special from my Rewind show from 1998.
You find this show spooky and kooky. Especially if you find pyjamas terrifying.
“The body count of this show is a little higher than usual.”
Music from The Romantics, The Rubbettes, Renee Geyer, The Communards, Rod Stewart, AC/DC, even Johnny Hates Jazz.
Maynard’s Mastermind quiz for October proves once again that the only real loser in this quiz is the host. Joined by Richard Saunders in the Laslo Panaflex studios, overseen by a moody cat, you’re in for quite the chaotic show.
This month as well as the expected Melrose Place question, expect questions on music, retro culture and Bruce Samazan.
Frank Bennett was the swingin’ guest on Rewind on the release of his Cash Landing album in 1999. What a guy, what a sound, what a suit!
Frank’s career spans 2 albums, a cable TV show and live appearances across Australia since 1995. Even multi ARIA nominations didn’t slow him down.
Everything you ever wanted to know about the big band boy from Bankstown is on this hour special.
Plus music clips from Nina Simone, Frank, Elvis, even Bob Downe with Pastel Vespa.
Maynard’s Mastermind quiz upped it’s game this month with the addition of higher production values, an inflatable hippo and a cat.
Most of the questions this month again were found behind my couch from around 1997, although we do have some from a TV Week magazine from 1979. Good luck!
