#wimbeldon2025 women’s doubles final is NOT on free to air tonight, the men’s doubles final WAS on free to air last night. A big fail #Channel9. @rohan_connolly @CherylCritchley.

Good piece by Scott Hamilton. “Security is not just about submarines and fighter jets. It’s also about school meals, maternal health clinics, and HIV testing. George W. Bush saw that clearly. The question is: do we?”.

RT @whstancil: My working theory for What’s Gone Wrong is that the plethora of media sources have enabled extremist ideologies - not by LIM….

7. Keith Glass' Grand Final Party in 1977 (I think), all four to my right: John Power (Jo Jo Zep), Ollie, Rowland Howard & Tracy Pew are no longer with us. RIP all of them and Vale Ollie Olson, someone we were all so lucky to know.

6. the chance of running into him in some street, in some city at some future time. He left his mark on the world of music and fortunately there is recorded evidence of his brilliance. Too many of those bright boys died too young. Disturbing to think in the photo below, taken at.

5. he did with Gus and thinking how brilliant it was but not expecting it to be a mad success. Ollie seemed always destined for cult status and now he has died that has come about. I loved him, it was impossible not to love him, it was impossible not to love him and I will miss.

4. Then in and out of obscurity - one of the last times I spoke with him he was working as a shop assistant at Readings Books Hawthorn yet he was still the same effusive, extravagant, effervescent Ollie I had always known. I remember going to a listening of the "Third Eye" CD.

3. - just dancing all the time, in too much motion to stand still long enough to make it, like so many geniuses before him. Finally the MaxQ and Dogs In Space projects made him a few bucks and gave him some of the success he had so long deserved.

2. He was always bursting with ideas and plans and strategies and I always noticed the deference all the others paid him. With Whirlyworld he put out the finest record of the era, skipped to the UK, hung out with Robert Fripp.

From David N. Pepperell about The death of Ollie Olsen yesterday. 1. Ollie was always the best and brightest of the young "Punk" crowd that hung around Archie & Jugheads Records around 1977-1978 - and Nick Cave was included in that group.

Am enjoying listening to the ever wise @MargaretSimons on @3RRRFM Spin Cycle. A wise and upright woman and a thoughtful intelligent journalist.

Strolled past this place a couple of days ago.

RT @pop_rambler: The BBC sound effects library is now completely free to access. This is news.

A few more blooms.

Modestly succeeding at growing things in a modest space.

Looking up - again.

interesting and talented people of our past? After a few additional showings in Sydney, Life Burns High will be available to see on @Foxtel.

Likewise, Jo Gilbert has struggled to gain attention for her book “Along the Road to Gundagai” about Australia’s greatest popular music composer Jack O’Hagan. He wrote “Our Don Bradman” & “Where the Dog Sits On The Tuckerbox” and so many other songs. Why do we forget & ignore the.
