Book burning season opened this week. Captured the demon of Trump’s hair rising up to consume the terrible Catcher in The Rye. Back then it might have been interesting that teenagers were whining. Now, not.

Wattsie & Martin do Maylands

Posted on June 5, 2017 by AHC McDonald

I’m vale-ing Wattsie on this holiday, remembering when the great man stooped to be baffled by The Worst of Perth. Did you ever write a club song???? Well did you?

AHC McDonald's avatarThe Worst of Perth

Audiophile Natalia Fan#1 shows off more of his collection with Wattsie and Martin at The Maylands Town Hall with the two unaccountably popular and universally terrible 1970s Perth radio Stars. The album is beyond appalling. Idiotic and unfunny. All I can remember is “Shaving Cream”. I don’t know if they did Bang Bang Lulu, but I expect so. There is a joke book too where some really lovely Paul Rigby illustrations/cartoons underscore further – if that’s possible the lack of humour in the text. (Does anyone else find the insert to be reminiscent of The Legend 101’s banter?) Even TWOP’s favourite doctor, Peter Harries ( PhD WC) gets stuck into the Wattsie and Martin of this era, saying in his thesis no less, ” In the 1970’s, radio ‘stars’ Barry Martin and John K. Watts were given a Tonight type show, which followed the usual format of guest artists, gags…

Outrage Sunday 297 Outrage for Service

Posted on June 4, 2017 by rottobloggo

Don’t you just adore the new advertising strategy at teh Worst??!! Little ads between the incisive reports. This page was for Burswood Crown Casino. Evil 8 member? Have a pint and a fist-pump! Muslim MP? Pork buffet! This will stop the slump in the readership figures. Extra extra!
People have been admiring my jugs! Let no man describe my love for my jugs as “aggrieved nostalgia“. The prices were kinda high, but what the hell. Sorry about the pic being a bit blurry! I was running to the Indiana toilets so was kinda excited!
The good thing about being near Indiana is you can throttle down with some Marine Parade yoga. Seaside serenity. All you can hear under the relentless blue sky is the hiss of the roiling cunacs and the freshest air in the world sighing through the poorly-trimmed pines.

Bayswater Strike

The Bayswater Smartarse has struck again. I’m not 100% sure what the message is in all cases, but… kudos.

Nature Ticket

Posted on June 1, 2017 by AHC McDonald

Have I done this before? 8 hours work, 8 hours sleep and 8 hours naturalism. That could be 16 hours naked per day!  Without the orchestra.

The Long March

Posted on May 30, 2017 by AHC McDonald

Kalamunda has blocked off the Bibbulman track!  I guess it’s to stop all the radical ideas coming up from Albany – rocks that look exactly unlike dogs, motel sex and natural granite. Less likely, being Kalamunda is that they’re finally giving the track entrance/exit a facelift. Something to do with Aldi no doubt.

Your own private parklet

Posted on May 29, 2017 by AHC McDonald

Tullio reports – and even I find it hard to believe, that Applecross residents are installing palette parklets IN THEIR OWN GARDENS! This is why I’m withdrawing from society. There even may be fake lawn. It brings to mind Melbourne’s shittiest small bar, the name of which escapes me.

Outrage Sunday 296 sensational Subi

Posted on May 28, 2017 by rottobloggo

Eat your words, Subi critics. The place has it all going on. The alfresco dining, the ball sports, the, er, finish. What is there to complain about? 6008 is great!
Why does Cottesloe bother trying to use it fancy cars to compete?
Meanwhile in Guildford our bucolic streets are being enhanced by vibrant architecture. Nothing says “You’re home!” quite like a harshly-illuminated distended portico.
