Monkey Dust

Oh how I miss this show. It was so “close to the bone” and SO dark, but I loved it! I can’t even believed the BBC showed something like this, even if it WAS on one of their cable channels!! Subjects such as cottaging are not things you expect to see on the Beeb. It’s rude, but I do LOVE the character Jeff, The First-time Cottager and my favourite was Ivan, The Meatsafe Murderer and Mr Hoppy.

Here’s a couple of clips for your entertainment.

Favourite Music Artist – M (part 2)

There were two Oz acts I left off the list, as ‘M’ was getting a bit overcrowded (and I’d forgot about them until later in the evening after I’d added the post).

Mental As Anything.

Midnight Oil.

Oh, I agonised over my choice for Midnight Oil and I just couldn’t decide between these! All I know is that I wasn’t going to choose “Beds Are Burning”, not ‘cos I don’t like it, but because it’s the only song outside of Australia that Midnight Oil seem to be known for.

Oh, to think Peter Garrett was once cool and not a politician! Political yes, but not a politician. I suppose at least he is Environment Minister, but still…augh

Oh, the irony of this choice of song.

Favourite Music Artist – M

I actually do have several artists all vying for position, some a little embarrassing to admit to, but hey, why can’t I have eclectic taste?

So here goes…laugh if you will at some of the choices.

Madonna (I know – not so much the modern stuff – I hate that bloody “4 Minutes” thing with JT) pre 2001 really. I stopped liking her after the Music album.

Kylie Minogue (I know!)

George Michael (Yes!!!)

Morrissey. I love the man’s voice. There’s a melancholy to it that I love.

Manic Street Preachers.

Some Steven Patrick Morrissey for you to enjoy. This song speaks to me…

Just HAD To Add This!

Just finished watching Team America: World Police and went straight to YouTube to get this video. I know it’s juvenile, but I love it!

Favourite Music Artist – K

I think this’ll have to go to Kaiser Chiefs.

Instead of adding a Kaiser Chiefs song, I thought I’d add this. I saw it as it went out on air, and it tickled me, so thought I’d share it. (No, it isn’t the Kaiser Chiefs but Ricky Wilson is present)

Favourite Music Artist – J

I found this a really hard one to come up with someone. I’ll no doubt think of an act more worthy later on (like I did with C), but until such time, I’ll be an 80’s anorak and put…Howard Jones.

Favourite Music Artist – I

I’m going to “cheat” here, because I can’t separate out 3 acts.

Iggy Pop

Icehouse

INXS (til Michael Hutchence’s death)

Here’s Great Southern Land for all those expat Aussies out there…
