A Very Maynard Xmas 2024 will be unlike any other lo-fi Xmas special ever seen by anyone ever.

Watch YOU Can Start The Music!

The greatest and longest tradition in Australian history is the screening of Village People’s Can’t Stop The Music every NYE across Australia. So elevate your experience this NYE by watching this anytime before you watch the movie, anywhere, anytime, to get you in the mood for the musical extravaganza of 1980.

It’s not New Year’s Eve in Australia till we see Steve Gutenberg over excitedly skating down Broadway!

Thanks Felipe Rose for kicking off the show on New Year’s Eve.
I can hear Village People approaching.

Brain Freeze – A Coldest 100 video livestream – 2023 (Parts 1 & 2)

Brain Freeze Part One

Australia has always enjoyed an inordinate ability to laugh at itself, so needing a good laugh and well meaning carry-on, enjoy Brain Freeze with 30 odd (very odd) video clips from the Coldest 100 – 2023.

With two big shows over two Saturday nights, it is Australia’s Coldest 100 – 2023. Hand picked by Andrew Sholl, it features world class musical shonk that only Australia can produce. From Marlene Dietrich to Steven Farnham via Skippy. The Coldest 100 is songs about Australia, or by Australians that sometimes don’t work out that well…

Brain Freeze Part Two

Appearances from Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain (Glenn Keenan), Brigitte Handley, Charlie Fatt, Tony Push, Richard Saunders and (time permitting) Noam Chomsky the communist teddy bear arts lawyer.

Just look at this list of artists that Andrew Sholl has curated that you’ll never again see on the same bill. The Coldest 100 – 2023 brings Bud Tingwell, Germaine Greer, Tina Arena, The Singing Citizens of Macarthur, Johnny Raper, Ian Turpie singing some Nirvana, and the legend himself, Steven Farnham.

From Skippy to The Muppets, Kamahl, Young Talent Time, Julia Morris and Melissa Tkautz, it’s two shows YOU don’t have to apologise for.

Going out as livestreams in HQ with a pre show, here are the edited versions for you.

Keep an eye out for special guests Tim Ferguson, Brigitte Handley, Lesley Fountain/Glenn Keenan, Charlie Fatt and others that were sucked in to add to the cultural carnage.

@OzKitsch on Twitter has been compiling this list every January for the last eight years. This year his clips were so good we made the show twice…
