at the pub, or at a party, whenever you're stuck, for what to say,
if
you wanna be dinky-di, why don't you give it a try,
look
'em right in the eye and say g'day..."
(Slim Dusty)
Show 189There
are plenty of ideas about how to begin a project but one of the best
comes from Glinda the Good, the witch of the north (according to the
1939 film The Wizard of Oz): "It's always best to start at the
beginning."
Days
- the
Gin Club, from 2008, their
album was titled Junk,
the band was from Brisbane and includes prolific singer-songwriter
Ben Salter.
I
Listen to the Night -
Matt Walker,
the title track of his
1997 album, with Ash
Davies on drums.
Colourblind
-
Liz Stringer,
from
her 2012 album Warm In
the Darkness.
In
reality it's 2026
Delta
- the Bures Band, a single that came out in July ahead of their album
Ozonia, an August arrival.
Monkey
Puzzle - Marcel Borrak, from his latest LP, a solo project titled Sun
Dust, also out in August. It was reportedly "inspired by
Marcel's love of Indian music."
Squid
- Fancy Weapon, from
their self-titled first album, a
June release.
It's the first album
under that name but
these folks are not debutantes: the
band comprises Mick
Turner (Dirty Three),
Claire Birchall (Smoked
Salmon), Joel
Silbersher (GOD)
and Guy Maddison
(Mudhoney).
Fever
Dream - Bagful of Beez, it's the first single from their new album,
which is titled In Parallax and is promised for late September.
Guitar
Hero
Erica
Dunn - singer, songwriter, plays guitars and keys, band leader -
stays busy. We heard songs from three of her projects:
-
Waiting For the Gate, Erica Dunn performing as Palm Springs on the
2025 album Turning Yr back On the Dolphin.
-
Ammo, Mod Con, a guitar-bass-drums combo (some might call it a power
trio, others might observes that they are all women playing these
instruments), from their album Modern Condition, which came out in
2021.
-
Teeth Marche (marks), Erica Dunn in a band whose name we can't say on
community radio, Tropical F*** Storm, from their 2025 album Fairyland
Codex, along with Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin from the Drones
and Lauren Hammel from High Tension.
Mostly
still 2026
Also
in that group of musical events was
comedy by Aaron Chen
from a show in 2022,
and a 1966
ad selling
Holden cars
Stay
In Your Lane
- Courtney
Barnett, from her album
Creature of Habit,
which
came out in late March.
Sunburned
in London -
a recent single, recent
as in it came out in
February, by
a band with the snappy name Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever
- they've been working since 2013
and have release three albums
so apparently the name isn't a problem.
Fade
Away -
Things of Stone And
Wood, from their
album titled Rae Street, another
March arrival.

Mariani and the Majestic Kelp start us off, move us along, and tell
