There’s your dad.

With the resurrected Dead of Winter Festival coming up fast, it seemed like a great chance to get Frenzal Rhomb's Lindsay McDougall going about Pauline Hanson, Billy Corgan, and who he thinks is the "absent father" of punk rock itself. Interview link below!

On now! Celebrate a legend!

A celebration of ABC presenter James Valentine's life is taking place at a public service at Sydney's Town Hall, with the memorial to include contributions from colleagues, family friends and music icons.

Valentine died aged 64 last month using voluntary assisted dying, two years after being diagnosed with cancer.

He had a 30-year career presenting radio at the ABC, most notably for the Afternoons show on 702 ABC Sydney where he developed his distinct approach to talkback radio.

Turns out Josh Earl’s Four Burners podcast isn’t about having multiple disposable mobile phones in your backpack to make crimes easier to get away with, but a discussion about the important things in life. And it was fun!

Have a listen as I talk about what my parents thought about me joining Frenzal (30 years ago this month!), how I accidentally keep getting cool jobs, some scoops about why I’m not doing one of those cool jobs at the moment, and as you can hear some fun anecdotes about the gut-brain connection which is actually the gut-brain-back-balls connection.

Listen wherever, or here:

Cheers Josh Earl Comedian!

I delved deep into the wilds of a mythical land, with author Justin McHenry on ABC Illawarra back in 2024 but forgot to post it (or the shadow government conspired to stop me one of the other) so here it is now.

Are you ready to reclaim AND embody your Lemurian lineage??

I saw a post up on Facebook which had me intrigued. What is Lemuria? Is it real? What is the Pixar film Madagascar trying to tell us?

Luckily, Justin McHenry literally wrote the book on Lemuria. Like the real story. (Which weirdly involves Rudolf Steiner) And he’s zoomed in from West Virginia to have a chat.

As a Sutho Shire kid, I spent a lot of time in Mortdale. Anyone who caught the all stations from Engadine to Central did, because for some unexplained reason the train would always slow just before Mortdale station, without a word from the driver eventually stop and leave us all hanging, before finally creaking back to life and taking us up to Red Eye Records, Ashwoods, Lawson and Utopia.

I never actually got off the train at Mortdale, but I still feel like I know the place. And I’m very excited to get back there, to The Social Brewers and play a bunch of songs with a bunch of friends. So get off at Mortdale and come along!

Pretty blown away by the response so far.

First release tickets for Lindsay McDougall at Dead Loud disappeared fast.

If you’ve been thinking about coming, probably don’t leave this one too late.

Sunday June 28.
Small room. Sunday arvo beers. Songs and stories up close.

12 hours in the middle of the continent, for once not being the silliest band on the bill.

Ft. breathtaking vistas, iconic sunsets, metal meets aerial hoop meets some bloke taped up there with a 9 string guitar, and a burning pipe organ. Thanks !
