Hi everyone, I'm coming to you direct from the new HQ World Wide Woozle; hooray! I'm all set up so if you're in Canberra and want to come over for a visit and a chat just let me know. My previous place wasn't really the best for entertaining and whilst I liked what it represented to me at the time, I was a bit embarrassed by it. That's not a problem any more.

And this is what they had to say..."
A new place to live really has lifted my spirits immeasurably. Maybe the tunes will reflect that.
This one is simply hilarious. To paraphrase RJ Hawke, "if you don't like this then you're a bum".

I love it when listeners send me recommendations. This one is from DJ El Jumbles. It's a band I hadn't heard of before but he sent me a whole lot of tracks to try out as well as reasons that he liked them. Apparently this song has over 12 million listens on Spotify. It's definitely catchy and a lot of fun.

DJ Laff reminded me of this track during the week. Hoodoo Gurus are a great Australian band who really don't sound like anyone else.

My mate DJ SAB always talks about this song. The lyrical content is deep and the melody and song structure are almost impenetrably complex. Ripper of a track from 1964.

Today (Saturday) was a good day. I walked about 9km this morning in glorious sunshine around Lake Burley Griffin. It was a good day to be out and pretty much everyone else I saw looked fairly pleased with themselves. Winter is almost over! Then I came home and made pancakes. Yum. In the afternoon I cycled about 40km (without being attacked by magpies) and then chilled watching the Canberra Raiders absolutely flog Manly. Not bad at all.

I think that's enough for this week. I've got a book to get back to reading and some LEGO to build.
Rock on (and come and visit),
