Maybe when our hearts have re-aligned, maybe when we both have time, I’m gonna see you there. #morningpop #glenhansard #rhythmandrepose

How do we go on? Gently, gently now, gently. #morningpop #lizlawrence #vespers #thankyoususanlynch

Saturday read #4. In a week where everyone recounted tales of @glenhansard.bsky.social a special WindBackWednesday went there too to explain how we got here then how he went further. “I thought to myself, shit man, I'm actually really enjoying playing these songs" www.bernardzuel.net/post/a-frida...

Saturday read #3. What Comes To Mind is a cue to open up & say ah I didn't expect that to come out. A photo of Ross Wilson in motion veers into talk of teams-for-life, parenting-to-be-ignored & how even recalcitrant haters must succumb to the bird of truth. www.bernardzuel.net/post/what-co...

Saturday read #2. "Perry Keyes songs are about people whose moments are like days, whose choices last long past any statute of responsibilities. Judgements come & stay, usually self-imposed – the hardest verdict to shake off – rippling out effects for years." www.bernardzuel.net/post/perry-k...

Saturday read #1. Waiting 3yrs to make his debut may suggest a low key approach for Budjerah but take a look at the writing & production credits, sit in the sleek R&B sound, & it's pretty clear someone has big ambitions for the Bundjalung man. www.bernardzuel.net/post/budjera...

A story with @glenhansard.bsky.social preceded by a story about Glen Hansard, & they're both about trust & belief & when life says it's time to take both. A kind of farewell then too, so pull up a chair. www.bernardzuel.net/post/a-frida...

How do we cope with the days after death? Empty days, nothing left. Not even a funeral. #morningpop #fridayvinyl #pjharveyandjohnparish #awomanamanwalkedby

Yes, it is. #morningpop #fridayvinyl #pjharvey #isthisdesire

“Certainly from me now you get the sense that there’s a craftsman at play. There was never a craftsman in me; I never operated from the position of craft, I only ever operated from the position of inspiration" Capturing a moment of @glenhansard.bsky.social in flux www.bernardzuel.net/post/a-frida...

Of the many many "if you scripted this no one would believe it" moments already in the Libs' holy Reformers ICAC inquiry, one that stands out is how a former novitiate priest who thought politics "icky" was converted by the soaring rhetoric of Damien Tudehope. I mean, who hasn't?

"Switching between a kind of boisterous, front room of the Hopetoun rock’n’roll clatter & a slower, backstage at the church hall natter" Perry Keyes maps lives on a cityscape that absorbs & then refashions them "with a flash of humour or a smack of reality". www.bernardzuel.net/post/perry-k...

Once more Perry Keyes finds the moments, of vulnerability, testing, passing joy & truth in regular lives happening in "parts of town that sit between worlds & between names". There's always something to feel from a songwriter with a telling eye. www.bernardzuel.net/post/perry-k...

Through summers long and winters cold, may you always have someone good to hold. #morningpop #thursdayvinyl #glenhansard #liveatsydneyoperahouse

I wonder how much more coverage, angry editorials and special reports Harvey Norman's $55 million fine for misleading conduct would have received if they weren't one of the biggest, if not the biggest, advertisers across all media.

"TINA ARENA: UNRAVEL ME is an intimate and cinematic portrait of one of Australia’s most enduring and enigmatic artists. Told through two interwoven lenses – Tina the icon and Tina the woman ..." But what about Tina the cooker? A sequel maybe?

Now listen, how do you make a choice about who to love, who to support, who to hate, how to defend it? Let's delve into fathers, wives, daughters, football teams & a bozo who followed Bozo, all via Ross Wilson & an irritating eagle. Oh, we're stepping out! www.bernardzuel.net/post/what-co...

You have to believe him. If there isn't a post or letter or voicemail from him saying nice job Angus, well done, it clearly didn't happen.
