Michael Nolan

@GeronimoMorgans Rare to see him so deep in the technical area.

Nicolas Jover and Mikel Arteta at full-time. Grown-up men whose team spent the entire second half camping in their own box, trying to scam a win off a corner. Inject the pain. Haha.

My other choice for the best arts of 2025: the Devo documentary: “‘Whip It’, like much of their work, was meant as satire, an apple pie in the face of America’s misogynistic, good ol’ boy culture. Instead, it became their ‘Born in the USA’. ” #docohomo themonthly.com.au/october-2025/e…

For my pick of arts event this year, the Common People Dance Eisteddfod in Brisbane – because we can all use a bit of sparkle, right? “Remarkably, the whole affair achieves the high-wire act of ‘no judgement’ in an environment that’s literally judged.” themonthly.com.au/october-2025/e…

"The surviving civilians of Gaza might be excused for their ingratitude at being handed back a part of the parking lot Israel has spent the past two years reducing to sea level." A sober appraisal from @marquelawyers crikey.com.au/2025/10/17/don…

Editorial: Scott Morrison argues that Australia should agree to participate in any military conflict over Taiwan. He wants an increase in Taiwan’s military spending. Again, his interests are his own rather than the country’s. satpa.pe/vzdXfLS

Michael Nolan’s best of culture 2025: Netflix’s ‘Devo’ directed by Chris Smith and the Common People Dance Eisteddfod mnth.ly/ywpCMmS

“Your memory of Devo might not stretch much further than the perversity of ‘Whip It’ ... a bunch of dorks doing synth pop. Men 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 Hats.” The Devo documentary on Netflix – one of my choices for The Monthly Awards 2025: themonthly.com.au/october-2025/e…

@jrhennessy Needs Shriekback.

won't be saying "bombogenesis", sorry to the eggheads at the BoM, i'm passing on that

@nitzerebb Oh no 😥 As Ebbheads from Day 1, this is a shock. @nitzerebb are a huge influence. Douglas is an original incredible frontman. We were in awe when they finally came to BNE in 2006, and our lads Pure Bunk supported. May the force be with Bon & all the Nitzer/McCarthy family 💙

@rupertdance @MarkDiStef "improvement in attendance...", like it's school.

@MarkDiStef Surely what matters is the actual work being done, the performance not the location

absolute piss taking when the white collar work force do this while blue collar work force have no choice to be on the road

You dirty left-behindies are too easy. Enjoy your weekend.

@_TottenhamTalk_ @SpursSongSheet ABBA-related, surely? Midfield king, young and keen, at only 19... Bergvall, Bergvall, Bergvall, Lucas Bergvall, This is Bergvall's world... Can you hear us drum for Bergvall? And Bergvall takes it allll, always standing tall, beside the victory, that's his destiny! and so on

@SpursSongSheet surely we need a proper chant for Bergvall before Thursday? Seems mental that he hasn’t got one yet. #thfc

@MmichaelLlucy Surprised you forgot "Afternoon".

there are only three known kinds of delight: earthly, heavenly, and Turkish

Welcome, #GRAMMYs, I see you (and Janelle Monae) caught up with my proposal for a Michael Jackson reset. #thecurvefollowsme

A suggestion for the elusive headline, @crikey_news: “Fascist with fake phallus fired from football falconry” crikey.com.au/2025/01/16/abc…

@davegraney The same.

@ChetGetty Amanda Lear?

The sort of bio to which you can only tip your hat.

@PopBase @Beyonce Feels like early doors, but okay.

Beyoncé is expected to be named the Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century by Billboard.
