I dunno. 3/4 of her songs all contain prominent Melbourne references. I'm pretty sure that she's in a secret competition with The Smith Street Band to see who can be the most parochial (Not that it matters, the winner is always TISM)

It always cracks me up that Middlesborough in the North East of England (AKA Cleveland's Petrochemical Wonderland) was one of local lad Ridley Scott's inspirations for future LA. If you've ever been there you'd agree it's a model of dystopia!

Those plucky troubadours Slayer penned a ballad about him too.

At least not with Steve Bannon stumbling around the joint

I remember being on a flight where a passenger diagonally across from me had it playing on their screen. It looked so awful that I was transfixed by it and spent more time glancing at that than watching my own film.

Mods are shite. Rockers forever!

Blade Runners?

Only if we can have real kangaroos in the kangaroo court. Dress them up like British judges with the wigs and robes and shit.

Oranges can fuck off!

I remember they used it for comedic effect in an X-Files episode once

I think that constitutes cruel and unsual punishment. They should at least make it a knitted jersey

This time last year I did a coast to coast road trip in the US, mostly staying in Super 8's, Golden Chains etc. Even given the classic stereotypes, I was still surprised by the amount of rooms I stayed in where there were bloodstains left on the carpets, walls etc. One joint in Texas had what appeared to be arterial…

On a similar note, If there's not enough weekly political satire in your life and you're in Australia (or have access to Youtube and a healthy tolerance for some of the more obscure local gags) then Shaun Micalleff's Mad as Hell returns this month. The man is a national treasure!

and court appearances (of which there are many)

Damn Canadians and their seal-clubbing!

And then set themselves on fire

No offence was ever intended and as I said, I apologise for getting a bit precious with the drag-a-ho thing. Not really my place to criticise but as mentioned I've got a couple of friends (and not in any smutty 'wink, wink' way. actual friends) in the industry. I've been lectured by them on more than one occasion…

Not a big fan of baggy trousers but if you can imagine me wearing a pair, taking a nonchalant stroll down a beautifully lit street with my hands in my pockets whistling into the air, you'd get where I'm at right now.

Jesus h christ this is like arguing with a Trump voter. Have you actually read anything i've written in response? I know some of it might seem a bit snarky and it was probably meant to be but c'mon. clear eyes and all that.

I haven't said anything of the sort. My point is, was and always has been that having a name like 'Drag-a-ho' may be construed as being offensive regardless of how clever you think it is. I would imagine I'd pick up flack for the same reasons if I chose a portmanteau like 'David Lynch Mob' and it would be warranted,…
