Sandrine - “Trigger”

9:06AM Jess McGuire | I don’t know what made me think of Australian singer Sandrine’s hit single from 2004 last night, but suddenly I had a burning desire to listen to the song again. I’d kill for it in mp3 form, but in the meantime I will make do with the video clip. More »

Greg Evans Is Everywhere Today!

12:48PM Jess McGuire | Or perhaps I should be saying Greg Evans is everywhere… Sunrise! HAHAHAHA JUST A LITTLE NETWORK RIVALRY HUMOUR THERE FOLKS, I’LL BE HERE ALL DAY!!!! PLEASE TRY THE VEAL!!!! But if you caught Sunrise this morning, you would have seen the former Perfect Match host performing a mass commitment ceremony for couples - gay and straight - on Channel Seven. It was truly… something. I especially liked the dude who got down on one knee to say his vows. You’re not proposing, you massive nong! As Bob Marley would say - get up, stand up.. mon. Let’s move on before I bang out more ellipses, eh? More »

Exploring The Australian Element Of David Bowie’s Video Clips (Part I)

2:09PM Jess McGuire | Before we start, I want to hammer home to you that I am a big David Bowie fan. Love him. Saw him live at Glastonbury in 2000 when I was a fresh-faced nineteen year old who had just consumed mushrooms for the first time and handed the man my heart on a platter after his killer set. And although I’m certainly no expert when it comes to everything Davy Jones, I like to think I am fairly “switched on” when it comes to Bowie-related bits of trivia. So how is it that I completely missed the Australian content in his 80s video clips for so long? More »

Kylie & Jason Are Alright, Still!

11:36AM Jess McGuire | As someone who recently had to explain the whole Scott & Charlene phenomenon to a foreigner*, I’ve been thinking about Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan’s relationship lately. Is she feeling the slightest bit sore about not being invited to her former boyfriend’s wedding? Does he ever think about her when he’s belting out disco numbers on stage in Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert? Do either of them ever daydream about that night in the Travel Lodge? More »

The Go-Betweens - “You Can’t Say No Forever”

Sia - “Soon We’ll Be Found”

7:24AM Jess McGuire | Hope you all had a fabulous long weekend and stayed out of mischief! Can’t say I didn’t suffer from a couple of hangovers during my three days of freedom, but that’s the price you pay for keeping it real, I suppose. Anyway, during my Monday session of feeling like death warmed up, I decided to watch a DVD someone kindly sent to RRR for me featuring one of my favourite celebrity interviews Sia Furler. More »

More Dancing Man…

1:00PM Jess McGuire | When my Brazilian housemate Daniel said I should watch the original video (sans Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head soundtrack) of the Sasquatch Dancing Man, I refused to pay attention to him because he is foreign. I told him “If you don’t like it, go home!”. But then my faux-bro Dave the Scot (who became an Australian citizen a few years back, so I listen to what he has to say) emailed me this morning insisting that it was truly magical, and I decided to give it a go.
