Fascinating Events Mailing List Update
We're making some small changes that we thought you would like to know about. We created the Fascination80s mailing list some time ago, which has become quite popular (thank you!). We then created a Supersonic90s mailing list which already has some subscribers. We're noticing that some of you are on both lists, so we have... Continue Reading →
Fun With Centrelink
I thought it might be fun to document my experience with Centrelink and their associated partners via Workforce Australia before my brain naturally removes negative experiences from my memory to replace them with happy ones.

Fascination80s 1st Birthday Relaunch
After a short break, Fascination80s relaunched in June just in time for its first birthday!

The Beatles 1962-66 (Red Album)
In October this year the Beatles compilations known as the Red and the Blue albums were released. The original vinyls were released in 1973 and while they were good compilations and a great introduction to the band they were criticised for not including any hits that were not written by the band, such as Twist...

Trash Disco Moves To Fridays!
After eight years airing on Saturday nights at Plenty Valley FM, Trash Disco makes it first big change and moves to Fridays, starting Friday October 6, 2023. Why the change? Well, my DJ activities have been on the increase in the last 12 months, with birthday parties, DJing at Inflation and now the new Fascination... Continue Reading →
Johnny Hunter – Want (A Late Album Review)
As we approach the first anniversary of the release of Johnny Hunter's "Want" back in June 2022, Trash Disco thought it appropriate to revisit the album on the show and finally write the review I'd meant to write when it came out. The album, as expected, features a number of tracks we've heard before combined... Continue Reading →
