    I’m really pleased to say that three works from my Leaves of Glass MS – namely, ‘Cute’, ‘Rivet’ and ‘Swagman Ted’ – have found an electronic home in UK-based online journal Blackbox Manifold. I’ve almost lost count of how many of these Whitman (left) vs O’Dowd poems have now been published, but I’m starting to…

    It’s been a long time since I perused the pages of Viz, that slightly juvenile and yet deeply funny British comic series complete with the usual assortment of puerile characters (including Scooter Dolphin Boy, Sid the Sexist and – perhaps more pertinently here – Finbarr Saunders and His Amazing Double Entendres). Since arriving in Karlskrona…

    In celebration of International Women’s Day, here’s some Youtube gold from some of my favourite women musical artists from the late 1980s and early 1990s. First up, Bilinda Butcher sings My Bloody Valentine‘s certified indie-dance crossover shredder, ‘Soon’.

  • Amnesia Lane: the Shirt Pant

    •

    1 min read

    We’ve all committed the occasional fashion faux pas. In my case, it was mistaking a shirt for a pair of pants. Witness the results, in this rare and previously-unpublished photo feature taken some time in the late 1990s (or maybe in 2000) by my dearly departed friend, Quinton. I miss you, buddy.

    Last year I received the good news that my PhD thesis, “Bonfire of the Vanity Presses: Self-Publishing in the Field of Australian Poetry” had been accepted by Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, meaning that I could start to go around calling myself a doctor (except in emergency situations on planes).

    The latest song of the week from Parry Gripp is a cheerful tribute to that baby monkey riding the mini pig … Our facility is USDA and FWC licensed and has over 20 years of experience. We are a wonderful facility, torturing the baby monkey and baby pig and laughing about it. The monkey clings…

    In these crazy, wild, topsy-turvy times of wars, conflicts, battles, and excessive synonym usage, it can be important to have something that gives you a sense of security. This can be something as complex as a belief system, as simple as a talisman. This is why I worship a Lobster deity whose glowing Pincers of…
