hello and welcome...I’m a Sydney-based Australian writer who since the late 70s has built up a long list across (eleven) 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/journal/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…
NEWSOCTOBER 2024: Excited to be able to say that my book about Saturday Night Fever for the esteemed 33 1/3 series is now out world-wide. I spent a lot of last year writing it, based on the larger amount of research I’ve done into the life, business and oeuvre of Robert Stigwood, Fever’s producer, and I hope it sheds some fresh new light on a subject long demonised. More NEWS here.
