30-11-2007 there was a night celebrating Melbourne Music and I didn't think they were celebrating enough of the WEIRDNESS, the underworld, so I thought we could get some Moodists together with some of the Birthday Party to play some Birthday Party Melbourne classics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffa7...

Caught up with Stuart PERERA for a casual rehearsal today. He has been playing music with us since 1998. Same guitar! Left handed, solid bodied Rickenbacker. He lives, like us, out in the peripheries of Melbourne. Murals of rock icons everywhere. #stuartperera #rickenbacker #clarecmoore #moodists

One of my favourite music scenes is that phase in Australian post-punk where everyone got really into blues and noise.

@davegraney.bsky.social your tangential evocative words buttressed me when I was very … tangential (King of Pop days). Most lyrically sophisticated #OZ songwriter. #Poetry, not merely song lyric. Helped me think. And all your poetry here (cool): Cheers
