It's Oz Music Month - Pt. 5

Just like the Pavlova, countless Hollywood Actors and Actresses, Sporting stars and V8 Supercars drivers, us Aussies sometimes like to blur the lines of 'affiliation' when it comes to things that originate from our closest brothers and sisters over the ditch in the land of NZ. So, I…

It's Oz Music Month - Pt. 4

Today is a slightly different post. For those that have been around since the beginning, you'll recognize that today is my 'Work Anniversary' - 23rd one to be exact. So, it's a fitting day to post this little ditty from some Oz Rock stalwarts!…

Another 'Music From or inspired by' movie intersection. This time from our favour red dress wearing, kick ass, mama, (amnesiac) Alice! For Zombies I could have gone with the easy pick - pretty much anything from White Zombie or Rob Zombie. But instead, I dug deep (not really)…

Halloween Adjacent - Werewolves

Ok. So, this one is a stretch, as it's not really about female Lycanthropes as such. Moreso it's about the dangers and terrors of seductive, lustful and manipulative types. The alternative was Ozzy's Bark at the Moon, which in retrospect probably would have been…
