I was number 9 on the dance charts at Triple J Unearthed!

Current mood:surprised

Just a reminder that you can rate my music and even review it at the Triple J Unearthed website: www.triplejunearthed.com/dccardwell

I haven’t really been checking my profile there for months, but I went there just now and discovered that I was listed as a “DANCE” artist! Which is fair enough, but doesn’t really give the right impression, does it?…

ASCAP or BMI?

Current mood:amused

So, I was loitering around Melbourne today by myself and I went to Chinatown for lunch. I’d got so hungry that I went into the first place I saw, sat down and looked around. It was the “Post-Deng Cafe”, and the walls were festooned with large posters and photographs of Deng Xiaoping.

(Rather than try and explain who he was according to my limited…

Bowel Scissors

[imported from Myspace]

I need to purchase a new pair of bowel scissors and today I had a look on Google to see if I could find a supplier.

I could write a lot about what I found.

Review of Bob Dylan at the Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, Australia, 17 August, 2007

I should write a proper review, but I haven’t got around to it. But we went to see Bob Dylan at the Rod Laver Arena a couple of weeks ago. I’d only seen him once before, in Dublin in 1984, when he was OK but a wee bit dull. (He was joined for the encore by Van Morrison and Bono, though, which I suppose was fairly memorable.)

Anyway, this time around, we had pretty good seats to one side of the…

The Adjectival Bob Dylan

The Adjectival Bob Dylan

Today we have a guest host – our son Samuel Cardwell posted this on Facebook and it’s too good not to share with the world!

This morning my father and I were talking about how rubbish it would have been if people had kept calling albums things like ‘With the Beatles’ and ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan,’ and I got to wondering what it would have been like if Bob had kept using…

Crowded House are the reason we're in Australia

Crowded House are the reason we’re in Australia

If it weren’t for Crowded House we wouldn’t be living in Australia. Kinda. Sorta. Pretty much.

Marjorie and I came to the band late, not long before Together Alone came out, when I picked up Woodface somewhere on CD and we instantly realised that tracks such as It’s Only Natural and Fall At Your Feet were a kind of music we’d been yearning for but had never really managed to find except in our…

My favourite Dave Dobbyn song I love New Zealand singer-songwriter Dave Dobbyn. He was big in the 80s with Th'Dudes…
