The audio from A Very Maynard Xmas 2024 for those that find all those colours hurt their eyes.
Broadcasting from the main arena at Maynard International Studios, just opposite the Gilmore Girls Memorial Auditorium, it will bring the magic of Santa’s grotto back into our lives. Hopefully in the good way.
Feature guests in A Very Maynard Xmas 2024 include Lesley Fountain/Glenn Keenan, Roy Darby, Chris Kelly of Ship o Fools. With Christmas greetings from Mari Wilson, Rob Darby, Christopher Laird of Radio Nowhere, George Hrab with The Christmas Sweaters, Brigitte Handley, Tony Push and his poinsettia, even Paul Field and Bronwyn Mulcahy of Countdown Live wave hello in this most awkward of Xmas variety shows.
It’s a “cavalcade of clever” on A Very Maynard Xmas 2024. We’ve made it our most expensive low budget Xmas special ever from Maynard International Studios. For a change, there is also some real talent on the show this year. Plus more loud suits than ever! AND a magpie.
This year the show comes live with guests on stage at Maynard International Studios. Lesley Fountain brings his finest 60s go-go dancing to our shonky stage, Brigitte Handley shows off her new German boyfriend, Christopher Laird shows us his house, Tony Push reads his Kylie Minogue inspired Xmas poem, George Hrab has a track from his new Stocking Stuffer album, Roy Darby impresses everyone with a live set on the main shonky stage and Chris Kelly from Ship O Fools juggles and almost has a groin strain.
Yes, it’s another end of year Maynard video show special that makes all the other shows look so awfully “professional” and “capable”.
A Very Maynard Xmas 2024 promises you an hour of Xmas entertainment for which you will only have yourself to blame. Musically the show has everything from rockabilly to Kylie Minogue and Village People. Plus a really unimpressed magpie.

Thank you for coming to the screening tonight. Isn’t this just shameless fun?
Don’t forget the free afterparty upstairs at Bootleggers. That is upstairs at Kelly’s On King almost next door to the Dendy Newtown.
We said no cheating! (You’re only cheating yourself if you do. For shame you.)
Now go download your free Can’t Stop The Music 2024/25 calendar.
To celebrate finally getting to see the greatest disco roller skating movie ever made involving Steve Guttenburg on the BIG screen, download this 15 month Can”t Stop The Music calendar.
Suitable for your street or your sauna, it runs from October 2024 to the end of 2025. Which as well as watching the film with us, Ch 9 will play it again at least twice in that timeframe.
You can boldly print as large as A3 (or a more discrete A6) you’ll love the colour and movement only a static calendar can provide. Richard Saunders has really outdone himself in designing a colourful tribute to an unforgettable part of cinematic history. He even looks like Richard the tax lawyer in the movie, he’s that into it.
Enjoy and see many on you at the screening and after party on the 14th September.
Simply download it from the link below and print it any size you like.
As Steve Guttenburg says “Village People, that’s fantastic!”

In the Thermopylae of modern life, occasionally you encounter someone who is beyond a journeyman, way past a Renaissance man. In fact, George Hrab has gone straight through the Renaissance, leapt over the Napoleonic Wars, and now has his head currently right up the Jazz Age.
I first met and listened to George Hrab in 2010 when he was still a teenager. His podcast, The Geologic Podcast, once you get over the fact he never once mentioned, uh, igneous rocks, it’s actually a pretty good bath time listing. His latest funk fest of an album, Terpsichore, despite being named after the Olivia Newton John character in Xanadu, has not one single reference to roller skating.
Maynard: In fact, there is a mystery about your album that you’ve deliberately put in there. There’s a secret involved.
George: There is, there’s a little bit of a puzzle throughout my history of listening to records and you always get these myths and these urban legends arise. Did Pink Floyd consciously synchronize Dark Side of the Moon with The Wizard of Oz? Because when you put those two on at the same time, a lot of interesting coincidences happen.
Was this foreplanned? Was it on purpose? Usually the answer is no. So I wanted to have something not quite as trippy as that, but I wanted to have something incorporated into the album that was a purposeful kind of puzzle. So far, only one person has figured it out.
M: Well, you can jump that number up to two because I have figured it out, George.
G: Have you?
M : First I thought, okay, it’s something about the time signature in the linking rhythms between the tracks. Then I thought, no, it’s obvious. You’ve basically redone Duran Duran’s Rio album.
G: I can’t answer if you’re right or not, you know, I don’t want to give it away to the audience, but that’s a damn good answer. That’s a damn good answer…
“Very smart people being very silly is incredibly appealing to me.” – Geo

Australia’s Coldest 100 returns for 2024 this Saturday 27th January with @ozkitsch presenting 100 tunes you won’t find easily anywhere on any continent.
Just look at this list of artists that Andrew Sholl has curated that you’ll never again see on the same list. This is Andrew’s eighth Coldest 100 and he doesn’t see Farnham clips running out anytime soon.
The 2024 Coldest 100 brings you Barnsey, Alexander Downer, Tiny Tim, Cilla Black and a rubber chicken.
If that isn’t enough to incite your antipodean awkwardness, well, bugger ya.
After all, anyone can put together a list of the latest good songs. It takes a certain kind of expert like Andrew Sholl to put together 100 songs of Australian musical hoo-haa for 8 years in a row now.
This is a version of You Are The Voice you may enjoy, or not…
Andrew Sholl
It will all be going down from 10am Saturday 27th January on X and Instagram @Ozkitsch Andrew Sholl shows no sign of ever stopping his annual festival of Aussie awkwardness. So lean into it.
