INTERVIEW: Me on the ABC, talking Beef and Bruce and Wealthy Benefactors
The trouble with talking on the radio is they ask questions that I have no answers for ("So, what's your career plan?"), and I, being the socially-wrong terrifyingly-honest person that I am, have to answer them on the fly ("I have no plans - I'm just hoping to one day meet a wealthy benefactor and become some kind of creativity-slave.")
INTERVIEWED ON ABC RADIO
Do I appear awkward or strange? Do I appear Aspergery or amusing? Do I appear boring or irrelevant? DO I APPEAR AT ALL?
You be the judge. Eep!
REVIEW: Lustmord - Things That Were
A review for Heathen Harvest, about the perhaps-better-forgotten release of Lustmord's early works, "Things That Were". Neatly edited by Sage Weatherford.
"Perhaps I should be trying to contextualise it all properly by pointing

powerful and worth listening to. But at the same time, here we are in
2017, and saying ‘hey, listen to this, it probably sounded awesome in the eighties’ isn’t really much use to anybody."
