Richie1250's presents the finale in a quartet of themed parties in the incredible cellar of the Grace Darling, #4: EGYPTIAN MAMBO. See the grace dungeon tranformed into The Sultan's Lair! Thrill to the exotic spunds of Stella Angelico & The Last Minute Men, Richie1250 & The Brides Of Christ and the mummified remains of Chook Race! Dance to Richie's favourite phony Arabic r'n'b records! Run, dont walk like an egyptian, to the Grace Darling Below Deck. Thursday 29th September. 9pm, $8.

Have a listen to each of us here....


And as a special treat, we gonna be covering Ahab The Arab, with a special appearance from a belly dancing Fatima of the Seven Veils!

ALLEN TOUSSAINT





Did anyone hear Allen Toussaint getting interviewed last saturday on RRR? Talk about the supreme southern gentleman! What a marvellous speaking voice that man has. And he remembers everything like it was yesterday... He's playing at The Palace (aka the old metro) next wendnesday, and although it's quite expensive (about 70 bux), i've never seen him and would feel quite disrespctul if i stayed at home scratching my nuts while the master came through town. So a paying tribute I shall go. Hope some of you can manage to scratch up the money and do the same. He's written and produced and piano'd so many great songs it's ridiculous, but here's a few that leap to mind...

ON THE RADIO

Faaark, between the essendon and yahyahs records fair and my usual constant trawling, I have so many new records I wanna play on the show this week! We'll see what we can fit in, but i got new beauties from nervous norvus, senator everett mcgill, arthur lyman, tony tee, wynder k frog, the flat duo jets, manny corchado, the haskels and mo mo mo... Plus gotta pay respect to the worlds greatest person and current intownian, Allen Toussaint, and play some of his handiwork... Will try to play some cuts from ace melbourne bands who are playing this week such as Cash Savage, Kim Salmon, Keggin and so forth... Plus i'll be playing stuff from and giving away a copy of our groovy Cd of the Week, "Beautiful River and Mountains" by Shin Joong Hyun, real groovy psychedelic shiz out South Korea, 1958- 1974

Richie1250′s presents the third in a quartet of themed parties in the incredible cellar of the Grace Darling, #3: THEY CAME FROM OUTER SPACE!

Thursday Sept 22nd at Grace Darling Below Deck. 9pm, $8.


Special appearance from the Yip Yips!

Jimmy Scott - "On Broadway"



Cooked up by Mann and Weil for The Cookies, then rewritten by Leiber and Stoller and slung to The Drifters, "On Broadway" was always a great song, but the lyrics never really sunk in until I heard this version by Jimmy Scott. What a knockout. The pathos! And of course I thought it was a woman singing...

DUNGEON PARTY#2: HAWAIIAN ZOMBIE (this thurs)



You would think that being from Hawaii I would be able to spell Hawaiian no trouble but it give me trouble every time... Anyway, tomorrow night is the second instalment of our residency down in the grace darling dungeon, and this weeks theme is HAWAIIAN ZOMBIE! Be real good to see some zombies down there besides us. Tim from Plague Doctor tells me he is going allllllll out with his zombie costume, and the guys from The Greasy Hawaains were enquiring about bringing some theatrical "flats" down, so should be something to see!

Doors at 9, $8

Greasy hawaains at 9:30
Brides at 10:15
Plague Doc at 11

LAURENCE TIERNEY





Was in hysterics watching this tribute to Laurence Tierney on the Reservoir Dogs DVD. A difficult fellow to say the least... Chris Penn's story is the best so try to hang in there for that even if Tarantino is annoying you... There's some great stories of him terrorizing the casts of The Simpsons and Seinfeld when he made guests appearances too (listen to the audio commentaries of the respective episodes).


Seeing him be so excellent as an older fellow made me want to watch some of his old 40's films, but i must warn you all, DO NOT rent "Born To Kill". It looked like it was gonna be a winner but man was that movie irritatingly stupid. I'm still slapping myself for sitting through the whole thing. You bin warned! Don't say i didn't warn ya!

DOUBLE INDEMNITY (Billy Wilder, 1944)






How did I never watch this one before? There's so many good things about it. I love the way Barabara Stanwyck isn't really all that good looking, she's just this super painted up hussy from hell with this fucked up curled wig on her head. I don't care what anybody says, that wig rules. And in the same way, the Fred McMurray character isn't really all that smooth, he's this big clunky guy kinda trying real hard to be that "shut up and kiss me baby" guy. And who knew Edward G Robinson could really act? My god he's good.

The whole thing is just class all the way. Great script, great score. I'm gonna watch it again right now...
