Rewind Rude show Channel V

If you want rude video clips you can’t tell your Mum about, this is the music video show for you.

Bums, boobs and bad habits are on show in this rude show from 1999 on Channel V.

It’s a Rude Show

From Betty Page to Duran Duran, Sir Mi-A-Lot to Latex, there’s something for no one on Maynard’s naughty journey through pop.

You’ll be clutching your pearls by the end of the show as well.

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

Video – Maynard guest DJ on Neil Humes Funky Friday livestream.

A crossover DJ livestream. After finishing his One man Madd Club show, Maynard walked to Neil Hume’s place (does Maynard seem like the kind of person that would be allowed in an Uber?)

Neil livestreams every Friday night from 9pm with the help of his Russian Blue, Catrouska. She even makes a cameo in this show.

This show has Batman, Henry Mancini & some poor dance moves from Maynard.

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.

The fourth One Man Madd Club live stream went off at 8:30 Friday night.

Do the Batusi, or one of the many imaginative dances I cook up.

A cardboard Uma can be your friend too.

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

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.

Kylie Minogue with Maynard Channel V 1997

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.

Sunday Afternoon Fever, Melbourne Comedy Festival 1993.

Maynard returns to the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 1993. Broadcast rather excitedly on Triple J across Australia on Sunday, 4th April.

A two and a half hour spectacular Sunday Afternoon Fever show from the “Scott Carne Suite”, otherwise known as Studio 320 at ABC Melbourne. With a live audience that are up for it. Just what that is, you’ll find out.

The live house band for the show was Boom Crash Opera, with guests Miss Dorothy & His Fools in Love, Tlot Tlot, Mrs Sinatra, the Totally Lost in Space improv show, The Real Live Brady Bunch, Lano & Woodley AND heaps more.

You’ll need a wiglet.

There are audience song requests, 3 rounds of Maynard’s Mastermind and rather inexplicably the chance to win Bobby Brown’s tracksuit.

Miss Dorothy sings beautifully, Tlot Tlot have a new album, Mrs Sinatra (live on the phone from Las Vegas) has hair care tips for the ladies, Warren Coleman fills us in on behind the scenes of The Real Live Brady Bunch, Ross Daniels goes all Dr Smith for the live audience, Lano & Woodley relive painful school days in song and Boom Crash Opera do their version of Detachable Trombone. It’s a class act all the way with Triple J.

So, get down in your underpants and pray to the Church of the Funky Chicken. It’s time for Sunday Afternoon Fever at The Melbourne Comedy Festival 1993.

Thanks to all our funny guests. Special thanks to the very professional Triple J Producers Anne-Maree Sargeant, Phil McKelar and all at ABC Melbourne 1993.

A Very Barry Crocker Xmas 1989

Unheard since December 1989, Australian legend Barry Crocker live on the Maynard breakfast show on Triple J.

A Very Barry Crocker Xmas has is all, Barry sings with Adeva, advises you on personal security while travelling and gives some 1989 fashion tips.

Barry brings all the festive foolish fun and good humour he is known for as well as a Xmas tune from Damien Lovelock that Barry eventually loved.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2000 Channel V

It’s a selection of music and Xmas musings in A Very Maynard Xmas 2000 from Channel V on Foxtel from 2000.

Keep an eye out for Jabba, Yumi, Kyla, Mary, Mike, Andrew G, James Matheson and Andrew Mercardo, as we enjoy a getaway near an open fireplace with some moments from Channel V in 2000.

If you liked the earlier Maynard Channel V Xmas show, this will give you that same funny feeling in your water.
