Bunga Bunga 41 has Tim Ferguson giving dating advice to Maynard, but in doing so, he reveals a terrible secret.

They both reveal the until now, secret upcoming Bunga Bunga live show; The Festival of Dumb Ideas, to be recorded at Harold Park Hotel, 14th November. they want to meet their audience and simultaneously find out if they have one.

Tim & Maynard spy on a couple at the Madame Frou Frou Cafe, Tim claims he can read their minds. Maynard questions the wisdom of yoga pants.

Bunga Bunga 41 has wide ranging themes, from dancing vs spoonology as an art form, to the always thorny issue of killing something in the name of poetry.

But the discussion gravitates to comedy, sex and Sci-Fi.

But not before Tim reveals an alarming trend in his cat Kitler’s musical taste.

Come and bring your Crankmail and we’ll answer your questions live.

The Killjoys for breakfast

The Killjoys from Melbourne were always one on my favourite bands from that city. Although musically the opposite of bands like The Bachelors From Prague and certainly TISM, they carried a similar fun loving spirit about their music and live they were always, well, a delight.

On 5th July 1991 I recorded this for the Triple J breakfast show and it has gone unheard since then.

The Killjoys formed in 1987 and at this time in 1991 their album Ruby won an ARIA award for Best Independent Release. If you are a keen scuba diver, you may be able to find that award at the bottom of Darling Harbour near the wharf, as it was dropped accidentally overboard, shortly after it was awarded to the band, while they were on their way to a post awards party. The Killjoys even hired a diver to look for the ARIA award next day.

It has yet to be found.

Get together with Caroline Schwerkolt, Craig Pilkington (who went onto The Blackjacks), Anna Burley and Will Larsen (up the back playing a hell tambourine) to hear One & Only and the sweet Calling Me On.

Start saving up for a vibraphone, because after hearing The Killjoys, you’ll want your own.

AND the best news is that they are back together and you can experience them again.

The Killjoys recording session engineers at Triple J for this were Geoff Overmyer & Chris Norris.

Dave Mulligan brought Dave’s Dud Discs into my life originally in 1986 on Radio Stupid, the Saturday morning show on 2SER-FM. “Rare ungroovy” would be the best way to explain the collection of over 10,000 7″ singles that are in Dave’s collection.

These segments are from the Triple J breakfast show 1988 & 1990 and you will hear these previously unheard discs from the 50s & 60s, perhaps for good reason.

Asiatic Flu – The Uptowns
Taxtime – Cab Calloway (Mr Minnie The Moocher)
The Ballad of the Green Hornet
I Just Can’t Wait – Noel Harrison
The Joker Went Wild – Brian Highland
I’m Gonna Be Warm This Winter – Connie Francis

It’s Summertime USA – The Pixies Three

Maynard goes New Romantic on Sunday

For one brief hour, just this once, I’ll be playing at the Electronique monthly New Wave afternoon this Sunday 3rd September with a New Romantic set sure to impress the shoulder pads off you all.

Duran Duran, ABC, Spandau Ballet, Lene Lovich and even Blue Rondo a la Turk will be played between 4-5pm after which I will possibly be asked to leave the building by management, leaving Mark Vick & Jade to Grey to continue the regular New Wave sounds of the afternoon through to 10pm.

That’s at Harpoon Harrys 4-5pm Sunday.

Bunga Bunga 39 has Tim Ferguson with the Doug Anthony All Stars in the UK. He’s working at the Edinburgh Festival followed by a season in London.

Maynard and Tim tackle politics, sex, the moon landing hoax and rocks in your muesli (muesli-leaks).

We answer your Crankmail about aeroplanes, autographs and the very meaning of Bunga Bunga itself. We have answers this multiple times, may we recommend having a slow binge listen to Planet Maynard, starting at Bunga Bunga 1

In Bunga Bunga 39, Tim changes radio history, while Maynard plays with his doll (but it’s a good one).

As heard in Bunga Bunga 39:
