To quote a great man: "I yam what I yam." ...as anyone that has seen me in a skirt can attest.  Captain - I have a wonderful selection of blouses for our next tour. The folk in Tilba Tilba will just love them. ;D As for feminism: I think the term got destroyed, and it seems to carry a Nazi-ish whiff about it these days. People seem to put feminists and man-haters in the same basket far too often. 'Socially active' isn't a bad term, but is a bit too PC for me. I think it may be best put to say simply that 'I give a shit'. |

Feminists can be men or women surely, although grandma told me that a feminist is a woman who won't allow anyone else to do her thinking for her. Social activism = giving a shit? I'm past the apologies for being too PC. I've apologised for being too politically incorrect and gained so much fame and fortune. I had to give it all away and become a worthy aid worker. I gave that away too. Now I apologise if the person is someone I want to bonk. Which is rare as the only person I currently find sexy is Cartman's mother. Moody will back me up on that one I am sure.

bespectacled little creep in Canberra who rapes the soul of this country every time he opens his mouth for a second I read from Canberra not in and I thought Gator was having a go at me in the spirit of bullying and freedom of speech. Then again I don't even know if I know who Gator is so its pretty paranoid on my part... Yeah - tis a bit.. Keep up the good work mate. |

The only way I've grown as a musician is having people kick my arse, and I welcome it. Bring out the gimp mask - Might I suggest practice is also good! |

Kenny: I was talking about personally insulting people. Not the general comaprison of Australian/American music! I see these two statements as seperate topics: 1. I don't think anyone has the right to personally insult another jazz musician 2. American jazz has had more time to develop as an art form, it has a longer history and more international influential jazz artists. Whatever. It's still insulting. You should make it your business to hear some of the best of albums generated by Australians in the past decade or so. If, after hearing them, you STILL think some Australian jazz is "quite good" but merely some sort of imitation of American music, you either need a new set of ears of are carrying a lot of cultural cringe baggage. |

hey Bodgey, are there any photos of you in a skirt? There should be a photo board on this forum so we can put up photos, sort of like a dating thingy. I'm too computer illiterate to work that shit out.

Guts - re skirt photos, there may be a few in the archive, but they would probably fit into the 'extreme bad taste' folder. If the demand is there, I'll organise a photo shoot. ;D

Im sorry Kenny, I didn't mean to offend you. I understand that you are very defensive when it comes to Australian jazz, particularly in relation to the United States. I've heard some Australian jazz albums: most of Allan Browne's records, Eugene Ball's 'Healing Songs', Most of Joe Chindamo's albums, Michelle Nicole, Alison Wedding, Paul Grabowsky's 'If Time could Change us", Bernie McGann, Ten Part Invention. I like these records (are these the albums you had in mind? If not please point me in the direction of some).
The thing is, generally, I prefer listening to American Jazz because it seems much more authentic to me: straight from the source. I'm not saying that Australian jazz isn't interesting, I'm simply stating a preference.

Australian jazz can't be authentic American jazz because it's Australian. No wonder you think American jazz is "better". It's as I suspected: You're full of cultural cringe. Of course Australian jazz will come off badly if your criteria is simply to adjudge it by its degree of Americaness. (It's neither here nor there, but as far as I am concerned so much Australian is simply far, far superior to its American counterparts - and that at least partly is due to the fact it isn't American.)) Stating a preference? Now you are - and fair enuf. Up 'till now, though, you've been passing judgment: |

Please tell Murdoch it's time he gave you a regular opinion column. That post was excellent. I may even have to bake you some goodies for that one. I gave you 5 stars for that post, but it is editorial policy to use the star rating!.  Seriously great i.e. I agree. |
