Jarryd's favourite time of the fortnight!

Listen in as we catch up on the latest pop culture events from around the globe. 

Not only will Kmart and Bunnings take our hard earned money they'll also take our biometrics .. get f'ed

Elon Musk has been served ... the fake Dogecoin 

Brisbane Rampage vs The Coast playing this Friday at Boondall Iceworld , it's not a Stanley cup match but it's Ice Hockey !!

Squid Games becomes an actual reality game show.. who in the dang mind said yes to this. Ps. There is a Season 2.

Joining us in our other studio (shout out to La La Land Recordings South Brisbane) we have KMAY and APEman Dan! As Jarryd says "what a treat", and might I say, yes it was. 

Coming off their latest show at Rabbits Eat Lettuce, we gain some insight on what it means to maintain some semblance of professionalism as a performing artist at a festival (but also enjoy the festivities). 

A lot of hidden gems in this episode even a few music history lessons - so sit back, unwind and listen in on our yarns with local creatives of Meanjin (Brisbane).

Welcome to another edition of Desktop Chats - where Jarryd brings you his latest hot topics from around the globe. 

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp 

Part 3: Ohh you're lucky because Buttercats graced us with an acapella version of  1) All of the Time and off their upcoming EP 2) Heartbreak Kid

The final instalment of our three part series from our first live show at BackDock Arts. The entire show was a blast and we had such fantastic ICONIC guests from start middle and end!  

Listen in as we yarn with the cool twins that make up Buttercats!

Part 2: Put some respect on their name immediately!

Dr Alethea Beetson - Proud Kabi Kabi and Wiradjuri woman

Hold on let me just mention the title for Dr Alethea's doctorate "How insurgence and resurgence functions in the creative development of Indigenous performers" and yes I will be putting those two letters in front of her name every dang time ! Dr. Alethea's resume speaks volumes in the creative arts industry both nationally and internationally, but we want to shine a light on Digi Youth Arts, which she founded in 2013. A space for emerging Indigenous youth artists, that's making big waves in not only Meanjin but nationally and globally. Also please go and checkout this deadly podcast Couzin2Cousin - where Indigenous musicians from Australia and Canada connect and yarn about music, their influences and experiences. 

Loki Liddle: Proud Jabirr Jabirr Man 

Energetic, passionate, exquisite wordsmith and performer. These are just a few of the words I'd describe Loki, and if you don't believe me go read some of his poetry or listen to his band Selve. Just to quote " I was always a writer before I was a musician", at 17 y'all he decided 'let me start adding music to my poems' and now they have a new EP from their residency at the Pink Hotel Coolangatta coming out later this year (2022). 

Go check out Digi Youth Arts and Blak Social and if you're in Meanjin (Brisbane) please support and go along to one of their shows.

Latest: GOODWAYZ at LaLaLand Brisbane 12 May - 2 June. Tickets here

and welcome back to another episode of Desktop Chats. This week we start off with the biggest hot topic '

1. Will Smith and Chris Rock - a 10 year ban come on, I didn't even like the Oscars anyway 

2. Kim K and Skeet make it official 

3. We celebrate Bruce Willis as he states he's quitting acting 

4. Lil Nas X isn't gay and didn't win a Grammy... jokes he still trollin and we love him

That's right folks we did a Live Show at BackDock Arts -  and it was mighty fine, even though the weather was a bit wild. 

Part 1:

Joining us in the hot seats we had the iconic Micah Rustichelli, Mayatu and Whobokku. Listen in as we talk about NFT in art, inclusivity in the modelling industry, skateboarding (if anyone wants lessons hit up whobokku) and performative art, I mean really using every inch of your body type performative art!

It was a stellar episode, you can find each of our guests on social media using the tags:
