hello and welcome...I’m a Sydney-based Australian writer who since the late 70s has built up a long list across (ten) books, television, journalism, CD productions, all sorts of stuff, mainly on local music, popular culture and social history. This old-skool site is a guide through that stuff – a combination storefront/archive/laboratory, with a NEWS feed as close as I get to despotic social media. The archival BACKPAGES and RE-MIXED sections amount to a veritable database going even deeper into (mainly Australian) music (history). I’m too old to be an enfant terrible, but with the way I still seem to be able to court controversy, I must be some sort of loose cannon! Have a look around, enjoy; link further to the standalone BURIED COUNTRY site too…
NewsAUGUST 2019: Almost 3 years ago I signed 3 book deals with 3 different publishers. By now though, since Deadly Woman Blues was burnt at the stake last year, the other two have also copped some punishment, and seem to have hit a state of what they call in Hollywood ‘turnaround’. In an eerily balmy Sydney winter, the News feed grinds to a halt because I am just dug-in trying to find the right path for these two new titles I’ve never had less confidence in, The Suburban Songbook and Empire of Cheese.
