A very old blog piece from me, about a favourite Aussie band, featuring a photo of (a section of) the N-P section of my CD collection - & yes, I've still got all of those:

Yes Sir, I Can Boogie
It seems remiss that after 2 years of writing this blog, I’ve not yet written about one of my favourite Australian bands, Not Drowning Waving (NDW). Well, today I’m going to fix that.

Re @meanjin.bsky.social - I keep thinking about a quote in "Let this Radicalize You" (@haymarketbooks.org ) from poet Diane di Prima: "The war that matters is the war against the imagination / all other wars are subsumed in it." It appears UniMelb are waging that war. @beneltham.bsky.social

Just tried to listen to an audiobook while not doing anything else. Not cleaning or walking or driving, just sitting there. Feels absolutely demented.
