Hmmm. All this music started with my D:Ream tweet, so really, it’s Vladimir Putin’s fault.
Now I’m trying to remember when I’d have seen Pansy Division live, and who I went to the gig with.
Actually, I’ll throw in this. Pansy Division’s “Smells Like Queer Spirit” youtube.com/watch?v=xeCAI3…
@SnarkyPlatypus Indeed. So much… um… important history of Australian music.
Anyway, that’s enough music for now.
@jmpcallpoppush It’s OK, I know why.
@RealNickHodge Oh God.
@SnarkyPlatypus Yes. If only to see how close it is to, um, the legends.
@SnarkyPlatypus I kinda went off on a different tangent.
Donna Summer, “I Feel Love” youtube.com/watch?v=Nm-ISa…
Bronski Beat, “Hit That Perfect Beat” youtube.com/watch?v=9Nq2ZX…
This is why Molly Meldrum is a national treasure. Beaming this into Australian living rooms at 6pm on a Sunday.
That Countdown audience doesn’t quite know what’s hit them.
Divine, “You Think You’re A Man” youtube.com/watch?v=4TXoGj…
@paulkidd Smirks.
Dead Or Alive, “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXG…
Hmmm… There’s a couple of ways I could go now… But…
@paulkidd FUCKIN’ SHAKESPEARE EH.
Guru Josh, “Infinity” youtube.com/watch?v=z2CIiE…
@SnarkyPlatypus What. What?
@SnarkyPlatypus HEXAGON.
Inner City, “Good Life” youtube.com/watch?v=KJxJxr…
@paulkidd I’m sure I don’t know what you’re taking about.
2 Unlimited, “No Limit” youtube.com/watch?v=RkEXGg…
Snap, “I’ve Got The Power” youtube.com/watch?v=_BRv9w…
M|A|R|R|S, “Pump Up The Volume” youtube.com/watch?v=w9gOQg…
And now, Mel & Kim’s “Showing Out (Get Fresh At the Weekend)” youtube.com/watch?v=14b-BA…

@swearyanthony I don’t know the individual.
Vladimir Putin is giving his keynote and “annual press conference” right now. Live stream with EN interpreter at bbc.com/news/world-eur…

@cynicalsecurity @antisnatchor @0x1C @semibogan @threatbutt Please stop now.

@antisnatchor @0x1C @semibogan @threatbutt @cynicalsecurity Mmmmmm… Pasta.
@NicholasFryer Of course. If the second can be a 2015 retrospective, that would be lovely. Or a prediction for 2016. Or whatever.

The great thing about talking with @0x1C is for once it’s not always my fault.
It certainly brings tears to the eyes.
Is this related to my previous tweet, @0x1C? twitter.com/0x1C/status/67…

@DianneCostin Indeed, I daresay it’s very different now. Much bigger. More sprawling middle-class compounds topped by razor wire. Bandits.
@TACJ True.
@DianneCostin I was only in Dar es Salaam a very short time, the base for 10 days in Tanzania. I’d like to spend more time there.
@MartinCuddihy I am easily amused. :) Just watching how a different village or city works, I find it endlessly fascinating.
@MartinCuddihy Wow that is most generous. I only changed flights in NBO, at around 0500, so I didn’t really see it.
@MartinCuddihy Indeed. I really want to go back some time, do that trip properly. Or just see how Dar es Salaam has changed.

@SnarkyPlatypus I may still add a fourth. If I stop falling asleep.
@SnarkyPlatypus We have added @NicoleWill100, and three works. It’s only my stubbornness which meant I was aiming for four.
Annoyed. I fell asleep for another hour just before. Today has been somewhat unproductive. Sulking.
@whiteswine Indeed. Jimmy Barnes most of a bottle of vodka down before 8am. Molly Meldrum hurling bread rolls back at us. Ah, happy days!
@whiteswine Such an excellent breakfast.
@whiteswine Well, it was that at the Prosh Breakfast too. People were hurt. One girl has three broken ribs and a fractured skull, I think.
@whiteswine I suppose this is what happens at an all-you-can-drink breakfast.
@whiteswine Now you’ve brought back memories of when Cold Chisel played for Prosh Breakfast and it degenerated into a food fight with Molly.
