Bunga Bunga 56 – Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Feb 1, 2020 Maynard

Bunga Bunga 56 returns for 2020 to save you from an expensive haircut.

Tim Ferguson is sporting the latest look in Summer festival fashion, his sustainable “conflict haircut”. No one died for the look he has this month, described by Green Left Weekly as “no justice, no pants”.

We introduce you to the newest member of the Bunga Bunga family:

Kitler 2, Tim's new cat. — Meet Kitler 2. As Tim says in the show; “He’s just like the second Titanic you never thought you’d see”. Here we see him judging Charlotte.

Only the big issues in Bunga Bunga 56. We answer your Crankmail, find it more difficult than usual to launder money thru Westpac, and ask Tim if he owes Scott Morrison an apology.

DJ Mark Alsop has been a favourite DJ across Australia for 36 years. He started in Oxford Street, Sydney and is a valued member of the GLBT community. In this show he has some stories, dirt and music to share. So listen up and meet his dog, Boo Boo.

Boo Boo isn’t spoilt. He’s just well looked after.

Coming to you from Mark’s undisclosed location, it’s a podcast full of tales you might not have heard and just some of the music Mark loves. We perhaps answer that burning social issue; What is the gayest track ever?

With decades of experience in the Sydney DJ box, here’s sure fire advice on the one thing NEVER to do in a club:

Don’t type your request out in size five font on your phone that only a fifteen year old can read, then wave it around in front of the DJ booth like a monkey.

His views on marriage:

I’m a big homosexual. What would I be doing marrying a woman?

AND finally find out how we feel about people asking for requests:

People asking for requests… that never ends well.

Tim and Maynard return with Bunga Bunga 55 just in time to advise the Australian Labor Party on their future AND blame their election loss on the catchy jingle they DIDN’T use.

Tim is going to Hobart, Maynard is going Village People (again).

Bunga Bunga doesn’t obsess over popular culture, we obsess obsessively over UNpopular culture.

We raise trivial issues of great importance including (but are not limited to):

Sir Lawrence Olivier, girl guides, Law & Order’s obsession with our podcast, what happens when Batman goes on holiday, Tim in a barrel, the sanctity of marriage/Star Wars, Apollo 11, the Hammond organ and the unearthly sound of Maynard’s possibly haunted harmonica.

What kind of a CD does an adult buy? Tim & Maynard have no idea. What kind of music wins an academy award? Maynard & Tim can only guess. Badly. Have Australian politics demystified, and find out which one of these two floats in Bunga Bunga 54.

Tim is on sale and Maynard is going out the door at below cost as BB54 whistles a happy tune, warns you of Tim coming to a street near you and answers your Crankmail.

Bunga Bunga 52 brings a feast of things you can’t put in your mouth.

Tim Ferguson & Maynard bring you the Moby Dick of podcasts. Without the Moby. You listener, are the whale. Bunga Bunga 52 is full of bad advice, bad language and questionable haircuts.

Tim is touring to Adelaide & Brisbane. Maynard is going to his Loveshack in a hand basket.

We talk about the Moon, bananas & Superdog pooping. What more can a rational listener want?

William Shatner charms Sydney

William Shatner charmed the frankly overexcited crowd that came from far and very wide to see his live solo show at The State Theatre in Sydney in October 2018.

I grabbed my best Shatner tie and my 1969 BBC Star Trek puzzle book and knew I was going to be among my kind of people.

Maynard wearing his William Shatner tie for William Shatner live in Sydney. — If I can’t wear this tie tonight. Then when?

The resulting Planet Maynard podcast is from the dozen people I spoke with at The State Theatre that night.

The many shades of Shatner mentioned included:

The Outer Limits, TJ Hooker, Miss Congeniality, The Twilight Zone, Shit My Dad Says, Tribbles, Gorn, Kingdom of the Spiders, Canada, Red Shirts,Flying High 2, Star Trek 2 (but not Star Trek 5). Yet not one person could even hum the theme to one of my favourite works of The Shatman, Barbary Coast.

Here’s Bill in a mauve smoking jacket as he turns out to be a man of many disguises in the opening credits.

That theme tune!

Thanks to the Red Shirts, Belinda and her mum Robyn from the southern tablelands, Kevin Williams and the disgruntled Canadian.

Bunga Bunga 51 brings you all the hope and excitement of 2019. Thus making you really nostalgic for 2018 almost immediately.

Tim Ferguson & Maynard or Maynard & Tim Ferguson, but probably all four of them, have the starts and the smarts to show you a good time in January as we venture into a very certain uncertain political landscape.

Maynard is starting a new Saturday night of retro grooves in Sydney at Red Bar in March and Tim is taking his new solo show on tour across Australia.

Bunga Bunga 51 also leads you down the comedy back alleys less travelled as we meet Richard Wilkins, an unattended chicken and wake up to smell the cupcakes (or is that onions?).

Get some Herb Alpert into you with Tijuana Taxi

Tijuana Taxi the Sydney sensational Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass cover band are returning to The Camelot Lounge in Marrickville to blow your bolero jacket off.

Tina Harris has been a fan of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass since hearing her parents’ vinyl records as a child.

Great instrumental tracks like Spanish Flea, The Lonely Bull, Casino Royale and This Guy’s In Love With You.

As a party was winding down a few years ago, she put some of those 60s albums on again and was inspired to form Tijuana Taxi. An eight piece band (with marimba) that plays a handful of shows every year to packed houses of people who can’t get enough Herb either.

Maynard quizzed Tina on what to wear to the gig and the best Herb Alpert track to play at a sexy party.

Learn about the inner workings of an eight piece band (with marimba). Including the correct use of latin percussion and the psychology of keeping eight musicians together in the cauldron of the Sydney music scene.

They play The Camelot Lounge in Marrickville on Saturday 8th December.
