Not Farnsey’s Finest Moment

4:59PM Jess McGuire | Defarnham Australia bloody loves Big JF, but even I’m finding it hard to adore this particular Farnsey track. Joining forces with Dannielle Gaha, he taught the art of ‘Communication’ to the people of this country and rocked the nation into being drug free. Except… not. More »

F*** YEAH, FARNSEY!

5:52PM Jess McGuire | Excuse me for blocking out the swears in the title of this post, just catering for the kids is all. Anyway, thanks to reader Hirsty we have the first – and probably only! – contribution to the FUCK YEAH FARNSEY gallery we planned on starting around these parts. Ready? More »

John Farnham Is Hitting The Stage!

1:16PM Jess McGuire | Oh happy day! Remember Defarnham Australia’s obsession with Big JF earlier this year? It seems we chose… wisely. Our hero has announced a return to the concert circuit, and I plan on being front and centre in order to scream along to Two Strong Hearts with my musical idol. AC/DC, SchmayC/DC! More »

Folks Are Not Happy With The New Farnham Flavoured Cadbury Ad

3:48PM Jess McGuire | Oh god. I feel partially responsible for helping to incite the Farnham frenzy that has swept across the country and left advertisers thinking it’d be a grand idea to mess with a pop culture phenomenon. Did you like the use of Phil Collins in the epic (and award winning) drumming gorilla commercial that made Cadbury’s the talk of the advertising town? Well, Phil’s tune been replaced with Farnesy’s You’re The Voice, and folks aren’t happy. More »

YouTube Clip Of The Day

4:07PM Jess McGuire | I know I promised that Friday would mark the end of John Farnham Appreciation Week, but how can I resist putting up a clip of Farnesy delivering a blistering soundtrack to the BMX movie Rad? I can’t. It would be cruel, and wrong of me to even contemplate such a thing. More »

John Farnham On ‘The Dream’

4:42PM Jess McGuire | Oh god. It breaks my heart to say it, but I think our week of John Farnham madness may be coming to a close (although we’ll still keep an eye out for the odd news story relating to Big JF). WorldWideJeb suggested we launch Farnham Fridays though – how would you feel about that, dear readers? Anyway. Let’s squeeze in one last Farnesy clip today while we work out what the hell we do with ourselves from Monday onwards. More »

Daryl Somers Is Not Behind Recent Anti-Farnham Campaign

10:30AM Jess McGuire | Today’s Herald Sun reports in the Confidential section that some crazed fool out there has been less than pleased with the Farnham flavoured revolution currently occurring around the globe, and they’ve been writing hateful – hateful – letters to the Herald Sun on the topic. And as if this wasn’t devious enough, they’ve tried to frame a celebrity for their doings! More »

The Science Behind One Of John Farnham’s Finest Moments

3:24PM Jess McGuire | Oh god, has it already been a couple of hours since I last mentioned Farnesy? Clearly this needs to be remedied. I just ran around very hip radio station RRR screaming “YOU’RE THE VOICE” at the poor volunteers slaving away to ensure Melbourne’s music and entertainment needs are constantly being met, and actually met with approval. This is because John Farnham has the power to unite people. Has anyone considered blaring “Two Strong Hearts” in the direction of Israel and Palestine and seeing what happens? I will write a letter to the United Nations suggesting this as soon as we’re done here. But enough blathering! I have something brilliant for you and it relates to Big JF. More »

John Farnham’s Cameo On The Late Show

9:45AM Jess McGuire | The John Farnham clips keep on rolling in, and I salute you all. Here’s one from reader Julia, who says “This is a totally random John Farnham clip but I think it really captures his sense of fun (plus, if you watch carefully, you can see Jamie Durie in Manpower.) Watch out for the two JF cameos.” Oh but we will, Julie! More »
