J.J Cale / Call Me The Breeze 

Featured as the opening track on his 1972 album Naturally, ‘Call Me The Breeze’ is a 12-bar blues guitar shuffle, and is especially cool in that it features one of the first ever instances of a drum machine instead of a live kit; little nuances like Cale’s mumbling at the beginning of the song and the unique, almost muted sound of the drum machine make it a difficult task to cover the original version of the song perfectly, but then again, why bother trying to fix perfection?

It’s easy to see why so many artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd were so drawn to ‘Call Me The Breeze’; written about a guy who can go where the weather takes him, unburdened by the weight of the world, the concept of savoring simplicity and going where the wind takes you was a huge theme in a lot of Southern rock. Plus, the song is so fantastically blues driven that it’s near impossible to stay away from!

Lay lady lay Lay across my big brass bed Lay lady lay Lay across my big brass bedStay lady stay Stay while the night is still ahead Stay lady stay Heaven's fills our headWhatever colors that you have in your mind I show them on to you and you see them shineStay lady stay Stay with your man a while Till the break of day Then you're gonna see him smileHis clothes are dirty but his hands are clean And you're the best thing, he's ever seenWhy wait any longer for the world to begin? You can have your cake and eat it too Why wait any longer for the one you love When he's standing over you?Lay lady lay Lay across my big brass bed Stay lady stay We're gonna build the whole night aheadI long to see you in the morning light I long to reach for you all nightLay lady lay Lay lady lay Lay lady lay Lay lady lay Lay lady lay

The Big Man Upstairs - Party Dozen 

 How short are the memories and attention spans of voters who now support Dutton and the LNP. 

IF we do not learn from history we duplicate the SAME MISTAKES 

Sydney’s Party Dozen (saxophonist Kirsty Tickle and percussionist Jonathan Boulet) are back with a new album, Crime In Australia – the follow-up to their international breakthrough album, The Real Work (2022). That album included many new developments in the band’s evolution that earned them significant praise – most notably the Nick-Cave-featured “Macca The Mutt”, the surprisingly radio-friendly skronk of “Fruits Of Labour,” and the epic string-drenched beauty of “Risky Behaviour.”

As with its predecessor, Crime In Australia was written, recorded, produced and mixed by the duo themselves in their studio in Marrickville, Sydney. Across its ten tracks, Crime In Australia showcases a group absolutely unafraid to explore their “many dumb ideas” and as a result going places that are thrilling, visceral, face-melting, surprisingly danceable, and frequently ridiculous (often all at the same time).

The Real Work was Album of the Week in Stereogum, Bandcamp and Brooklyn Vegan amongst others. It was Feature album at 5 Australian community radio stations and received support globally from 6 Music, KEXP and KCRW who filmed a live session in Seattle. Party Dozen toured Europe twice, as well as North America, China and Japan, playing with the likes of The Bad Seeds, Spiritualized, Tropical Fuck Storm and Algiers. They released a 7” on Sub Pop’s Singles Club and signed with the legendary Temporary Residence Ltd. 

The album was a finalist for the Australian Music Prize and the Sydney Music And Creative Awards Best Album. “Macca The Mutt ft. Nick Cave” was nominated for the Triple J Award for Best Video. Kirsty won the National Live Music Awards Instrumentalist Of The Year. Album track “Earthly Times” was re-recorded with guest vocals from billy woods.

Feelgood story turns bad as Sky humiliates Indigenous teenager who caught $1m barramundi

It was the feelgood story of the year from the Northern Territory when 19-year-old Keegan Payne caught a barramundi worth $1m in a competition designed to promote tourism.

“The whole family was shocked – they’re all proud of me,” he told the ABC. “We’re from Katherine, Mum’s from Kakadu.

“It’s pretty hard going for us at the moment with money but now, with a million dollars, don’t have to complain about it.”

But one live interview, on Sky News Australia, turned into a humiliating experience for the Indigenous teenager when the host, Peter Stefanovic, asked him a question about an incident he was involved in when he was 16.

“There is a claim online that you stole a Polaris Ranger and Polaris quad that you and your friends stole and damaged from a business a few years back. First of all, is that true?” Stefanovic asked.

A shocked Payne, who was sitting in the Darwin Sky News studio, quietly said “yes”.

Pushed to explain himself, Payne said he and his mates “weren’t thinking at the time”, were “still young” and that he regretted it “big time”.

It was excruciating to watch.

Contacted by the Daily Mail, Payne’s former boss Bob Cavanagh said the young man had “always felt so terrible for what he did” and he was an otherwise “good kid”. He had also offered to pay him back.

After the Stefanovic interview, Cavanagh told Sky News reporter Matt Cunningham he did not proceed with police charges at the time, opting instead to talk to the boys and their parents and they agreed to work for free on weekends.

Indigenous leader and Sydney city councillor Yvonne Weldon said she was appalled by the interview.

“They invited him on to talk about his prize catch and then proceeded to put him on the stand for an adolescent misdemeanour,” Weldon said in a LinkedIn post. “In doing so, they’ve shown no regard for his wellbeing and right to privacy.

“Moreover, they have perpetuated a harmful and negative stereotype about Aboriginal young people.”

Naomi Moran, the general manager of Australia’s only independent Indigenous newspaper, the Koori Mail, said “this is what institutionalised discrimination looks and sounds like in mainstream media”.

“A narrative that is so familiar,” Moran said, also on LinkedIn. “That a black person will only be who he once was, rather than who he has become in this country.

“We must continue to call out this representation of our people in mainstream Australian media.”

Sky News did not respond to a request for comment and Stefanovic deleted his social media accounts overnight.
