After years of being off PBS and RRR I am starting a new show on Westsider Radio. They are a brand spanking new community radio station situated in Footscray. They have heaps of new shows starting this month, many west side focussed. Including our darlings Cheap Equipment and Drummer Needed having their own show (presumably arguing about what's noisier les ralliez or lightning bolt, which I expect to be as unmissable as it is unlistenable). So go have a look.

Anyway my show Frownland is going to be a monthly show of devotional drones, tripped rawknrawl, wonky dubs, bleak country heartbreak, free jazz, noisey pop and heaps of local hits and misses. Streaming live at 8pm tonight.

Thanks to a huge communal effort the stolen records have been returned. While we don’t appreciate being stolen from, we do appreciate that they were brought back. It wouldn’t be the easiest thing to own up and return them. Thanks to everyone who spread the word. We’ve now deleted the initial post. Unfortunately, this incident has meant we have had to rethink the way we display rare records in the store. See in store signage for how we will display and sell rare records going forward. It’s a pity we can’t just have them out for customers to browse, but clearly, we can’t. Thanks again everyone. Very grateful + the dogs won last night x
