The Killjoys from Melbourne were always one on my favourite bands from that city. Although musically the opposite of bands like The Bachelors From Prague and certainly TISM, they carried a similar fun loving spirit about their music and live they were always, well, a delight. On 5th July 1991 I recorded this for the... The post The Killjoys for breakfast appeared first on Planet Maynard.

Dave Mulligan brought Dave’s Dud Discs into my life originally in 1986 on Radio Stupid, the Saturday morning show on 2SER-FM. “Rare ungroovy” would be the best way to explain the collection of over 10,000 7″ singles that are in Dave’s collection. These segments are from the Triple J breakfast show 1988 & 1990 and... The post Dave’s Dud Discs – 1 Rare Ungroovy appeared first on Planet Maynard.

In 1942 the Japanese invasion of Australia seemed imminent and inevitable. Scorched Earth plans to deny the Japanese invaders were drawn up across Australia and Sue Rosen uncovered the very detailed New South Wales Scorched Earth plans that had been forgotten and misfiled at the end of the Second World War. The plans drawn up... The post Australia’s Scorched Earth Plan- Sue Rosen appeared first on Planet Maynard.

Richard Fidler, the “nice guy”, the “quiet one” or “the guy with the guitar” in the Doug Anthony All Stars. Faultlessly polite, his memories of DAAS Kapital differ somewhat from Tim & Paul’s.

His big mouth also has a lot to say about Richard Fidler & Paul McDermott in this part 1 of The Doug Anthony All Stars trilogy. I also spoke to Tim...
