"The experience of losing a music idol is in many ways a universal one. People whose art we attach to our own life experiences become inseparable from our lives. And when they die, it can feel like those experiences are over too" @LizGiuffretheconversation.com/loss-of-an-ido…

First new release from The Cure in 16 years - a stunner. Letting the good people of ABC Sydney radio hear for new music Fridays (each week just before 6.30am)-what a joyful job I have sometimes!

Open Day highlight- the kid who wants to be a music journalist and wants to start his own music magazine like the ones he read about in Modern History in year 11
Hey Logies, while I love Harry Styles you don't think you could put some Australian music in as part of your background 'bit'? Harry doesn't need it but the local industry could #Logies
I will NEVER get sick of The Wiggles asking people to Wake Up Jeff and making Hot Potato jokes. They bring so much joy to people, if you hate that they jog on #Logies
So, I’ve got a 1st year student who said today, “I love those tartan pants but you wore them last week so I’m not giving you a compliment.” Great, so now I’m putting what I wore on Mondays in my calendar so I mix it up and get a fashion compliment. She’s cool so I’m up it.
