john faine on the wireless before on the greg ham tip, "we'll talk about a man who was responsible for songs that were part of the aussie vernacular", it's obviously awful what's happened to him but raking over someone's depression and alcoholism and bigging him up as a genius for playing on two big hits (one basically a novelty) is seriously NAGL

John Faine is spectacularly annoying I have come to realise, and Im a fan of left wing talk radio. But geez he is sanctimonious. And he always takes over ppls stories and tells his own! Fuckin.

i idly wondered the other day if 'going ham' might take on a new meaning in the light of the greg ham thing but it was decided by all that it might be "too soon"

What do you think the Gillard government - separate from the internal powerplaying of the Labor Party - is doing wrongly or ineptly
― ┗|∵|┓ (sic), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 01:37 (twelve years ago) link
To be honest, in actuality probably very little (though the mining tax backdown pissed me off). But Gillard is giving the perception, at least, of being incompetent and not in control. Wether it is true or not, the rabble are buying it, and people who would probably have voted lab for years are gonna vote lib (or *maybe* greens?) out of disgust. She has no command, no real strong leadership vibe. Which I hate saying, because it comes over as "lol girl" which isnt why. She's just... gah. I dont know. I'm really not well versed in political details, I'm happy to admit that.

is probably #1 in what they are doing wrong, for me
― suburban buttshaven cannibal (electricsound), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 01:51 (twelve years ago) link
The NBN is another example of "things people just dont understand". You see tons and tons of people angry about it, blaming Gillard (christ knows why), thining its a "waste of money" and will be "redundant" soon which is laughable, because as people point out, unless someone comes up with a way to go faster than light, it wont be.
― fix it with like some music glue (Trayce), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 01:53 (twelve years ago) link
see this was the thing I was specifically caveating - imo this perception is coming 100% from Labor powermavens and especially their press stooges (and whatever Grattan is), not from anything to do with Gillard's actual policies or parliamentary process

Yeah there is definitely something very on the nose with the way politics and related is being reported in all the media here, in recent years. Perhaps ever 'twas thus, and I'm just noticing it now, I dont know.
