So I’ve been exploring YouTube hoping to stumble across it, and found the following clips you might find interesting.

3:02PM Jess McGuire | The stage musical Priscilla: Queen Of The Desert was a huge hit here in Australia. I didn’t get to see it so I can’t tell you whether or not it was made of 100% entertainment awesomeness or just 100% cheap gags about dudes in dresses. When I was in New Zealand last year, I got chatting to Mal (owner of Wellington’s only gay bar S&M’s on Cuba Street) and he assured me that as a “theatre queen”, he could thoroughly recommend the New Zealand version of the production. So that’s something, right?

1:33PM Jess McGuire | Frankly, if this clip is an accurate example of how excitable the Pointer Sisters can get onstage during rehearsal, I think my brain would explode if I saw them going at full throttle.

10:22AM Jess McGuire | Do you know what Pitchfork is? It is a magical website where music is reviewed within a decimal point of its life. If the review is good, bands try to mention this fact on the cover of their latest release by helpfully placing a sticker on the cover of the CD which quotes the review. If the review is bad, bands try to hide their hurt. Something Jet must have done when Pitchfork’s review of Jet’s second album was simply a YouTube video of a monkey pissing in its own mouth.

8:49AM Jess McGuire | When I was a whippersnapper gaily spending my precious and limited funds on copies of Dolly Magazine, Dieter Brummer was king of the world. He won Dolly’s Most Dateable Guy competition like, three times. And whenever I think of him, I immediately remember the celebratory photoshoot he did with the magazine where he wore leather pants, something that struck me as not quite right even as a naive youth.
