Guy Sebastian and Lupe Fiasco have help Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa turn ‘Battle Scars’ into ‘Cookie Jars’ — a parody about Wippa’s love of snacks. All Fitzy and…
I think these guys have done 100 lame ones, but every now and then there’s one that makes me chuckle… To have Guy and Lupe on the song is an added layer of funny.
It brightened my Monday, at least… :-)
Had to share this excerpt from an ad found on the Aussie version of popular auction/sales site Gumtree. This is from Rich , who is selling his 1991 Suburu Brumby…

I’ve always had the greatest respect for Paul McCartney. Even in the midst of his strange ‘one legged’ choices in somewhat recent times, i think he’s one of the most interesting, gifted and CLEVER individuals.
It’s an absolute pleasure to watch this video, listen to him talk about gear and songs and just be a part of him playing about and enjoying music and his gift.
Amazing.
Ash Grunwald + Living End Rhythm Section = Pretty funky, if i do say so myself… :)
Was sifting through some photos taken during the recording of Branching Inward the other day and came across this shot of Mr Waldo, as he was putting down a toy drumkit track at ‘Glen Avon Studios’. We had some fun that day, and Roxy the dog loved every minute.
It’s one of those shots that sums up the entire vibe of recording at the house… I’ll post more as i find them in the coming weeks. :)
Getting pumped to play this Sunday at Main Street Mornington Festival… First of a bunch of local Mornington Peninsula shows to come over the next few months!
Bring the family! :-D
Some still photos taken by Daniel Staud from the recent Music Video shoot… Can’t wait to share the video with you in a few months time! :)

Dave Graney might not be topping the charts and riding the wave of commercial success across the country, but there’s little argument among most circles he is, without a doubt, a true legend of the Oz music industry.
Alongside drummer, wife and creative partner Clare Moore, Graney has performed with The Moodists (1978-1986) and The White Buffaloes/Coral Snakes (1987-1997), as well as The Dave Graney Show, The Royal Dave Graney Show and Dave Graney & The Lurid Yellow Mist. With any more names to his face, Interpol might be on to him. The truth is, according to the man himself, every time a band member leaves, the name changes slightly. Now there’s a change without anybody having left as 2012 heralds the arrival of Dave Graney & The MistLY.
Graney is nothing if not prolific, having released more than 25 albums with his various projects and enjoying critical acclaim for most. He received ARIA recognition between 1994 and 2003 when he won Best Male Artist twice for the 1996 album Soft N Sexy and the 1997 follow-up The Devil Drives. He has collaborated over the journey with Australian music icons Tex Perkins and ex-Models Andrew Duffield and Sean Kelly and has toured alongside Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and countless others. In addition to his music career, Graney has also spent time as an author, with his second book, 1001 Australian Nights, released last year and concentrating on his life as an artist and performer.
The new album, You’ve Been In My Mind, will drop in June and, in support, Graney will venture down south to the Mornington Peninsula to perform at Baha in Rye. With him will be Moore, as well as the rest of The MistLY: Stuart Perera and Stu Thomas. For those unsure of what to expect, think 70s sound with post-punk sensibility. According to Graney, it’s “always well turned out, not very ‘indie’ or ‘rootsy’, but up-tempo. Mouthy in a sly way and occasionally sinister!”
