3:01PM Jess McGuire | Last month I managed to get my hands on a copy of Faux Pas‘ overwhelmingly brilliant reworking of the classic Noiseworks hit ‘Reach Out (Touch Somebody). I was so obsessed with the track, I think I played it for an unprecedented four weeks in a row on my radio show. More »

Sarah Palin Gets Pranked!
6:06AM Jess McGuire | It won’t be long before the world discovers whether 2008 comedy sensation Sarah Palin will actually end up being vice president of the United States. If she does succeed in her plan to bring her folksy goodness to Washington, expect an outpouring of tears from left-leaning showbiz types, and at least four years worth of inspiration for American sketch show stars. But if she doesn’t? We need to make the most of her now before she scoots off back to Wasilla to shoot wildlife and tend to her intriguingly named brood of children.
Thanks to some French-Canadian pranksters, we can squeeze at least one last belly laugh out of Palin’s adorably clueless ways before her time in the international spotlight ends – although if she does end up victorious on November 4th, the following story may cause concern.
Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin yesterday was the victim of a prank phone call by a French-Canadian comedian impersonating French President Nicolas Sarkozy. After Ms Palin realized the call was a hoax, her campaign staff admitted she was “mildly amused.”
Mildly amused? She certainly doesn’t sound it once the pranksters own up at the end of the audio clip. You can just imagine how thoroughly abused the staffer who let this call slip through to the keeper was once the call was terminated. More » 
Pony Face – “Warning Bell”
2:50PM Jess McGuire | Allow me to give you a heads up on a rather great musical ensemble because I am very nice and I live to give.
Pony Face – they used to be known as Gift Horse, clearly they’ve got a thing for all things equine related – are a Melbourne band made up of Simon Bailey (The Morning Birds), Anth Dymke (The Morning Birds, Luxum), Kris Emond (Soteria Bell), and Damian FitzGerald (Underwaterman, Pandora).
And now you’re aware of the line up, it’s now time for me to tell you that they are fantastic. I’ve caught them live around the traps a couple of times, and every time I’ve ended up completely enthralled by the beautiful, haunting music they effortlessly belt out on stage. And you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Damian FitzGerald deliver a blistering theramin solo – it’ll blow your mind.
But don’t listen to me, listen to the words of people who matter! Cut and pasted from the press release!

3:28PM Jess McGuire | Huzzah, the final part of the interview I did with Wendy James!
In this last bit, Wendy talks about being a pop culture icon, her secret dancefloor weapon when DJing, and why she feels like a 25 year old (and how she “doesn’t give a fuck what a bunch of 40 year olds are doing…”).

9:12AM Jess McGuire | ARGH!
Technical difficulties have prevented me from popping this promised audio up in a sweet mini-player sort of way – along with large dollops of conversation which we will hold onto for when Angie Hart misbehaves in a ridiculously public way and we feel that random chit chat about vegetables and drunkenness will deliver us the all important “hits” – but bugger it, let’s allow you to download in a terribly primitive manner an mp3 of Angie Hart instructing you PERSONALLY how to win tickets to her East Coast shows with Dave McCormack.

Marvel as Angie pretends to love the YouTube Clip Of The Day feature, and practice your fingering skills (so to speak) when she is railroaded into agreeing to let eager punters holding a recorder join her onstage at shows to play along to Labour Of Love!
After some highly impressive clip submitting, Marcus has won two tickets to tonight’s Melbourne show, while Marnie is the lucky winner of tickets to the Sydney gig on Thursday night at The Vanguard, but the rest of the shows are still up for grabs. Do what you must. More »
