Scratch and Bite Outcast.11. Stuff a bloody duck Who would have thought the festive season could run into March. This makes my encounter with STP pale into insignificance. The Scratch and Bite OutCast PodCast shudders into life and realises that 2010 has almost past it's use by date. Weird Stuff this time Kicked off by Middle Age Weirdo, The Livingstone Clark song fest. “Television Man” has always appealed to me because of it's unintentional ambiguity. A classic piece of poetry and noise.

Scratch and Bite Outcast.9.The Walkabout Yoweeee PodCastOffs. Welcome to OutCast the Podcast on walkabout in outback Australia. The Stiffies opened our journey tonight as a warning to all those who trek the wilds of the planet … you to could end up in “Swampland” After that “Crash and Burn” we discover the North Coasts “Hammerfish” was home to both “The Stiffies” Ryan and Greg from “The Outcome”.and foreshadows Greg’s path through various noise machines until “The Crimson Project“, remodelled as “ The Violation of Silence” and now in its final form “The Outcome” definitely will “Keep Running”. The Outcome, a powerful machine indeed. If you cruised round this great land of ocean and desert, You would have no doubt met “Gypsy Dave” sitting at his campfire near some lonely Billabong reminiscing about the “Bye and Bye”. Unfortunately “Gypsy Dave” passed away late this year, living the Rock and Roll lifestyle to the end and teaching a new generation of noisemakers his art. Gypsy Dave (Ian Thomas) was an interesting character, a survivor of the Seminal sixties garage bands “The Missing Links” precursors to the Punk outbreak 10 years later, “The Showmen”, “Thomas Hood” and several other reincarnations through a chequered career in the Australian music scene. The Missing Link exposé of “Nervous Breakdown” featured a scathing Ian Thomas shattering every Elvis fans heart. In true links fashion the “Missing Links” always let you know “You’re Driving Me Insane”. A listen to some of Australia’s bands of sixties would loosen anyone’s brain cells. Found on several tracks of the “Gypsy Dave” CD is Ray Arnott another stalwart of the Australian music scene. Ray has credits on so many tracks you would think he was the only drummer in Australia; I will delve into Ray in the future. Ray also was a leg in the trio “Digital Soul” with the incandescent “I’m on Fire” featuring “Laura Gillespie” who we will catch up with on another episode. Down in the South of the country Melbourne’s young bloods “NeonPres” are starting their own climb into the Australian musical hierarchy, with a slight departure from their frantic funk the pulsing “Down”. Peeled off caves walls around my slice of heaven and hung for your pleasure are images by the incredulous Danielle Burford. http://www.danielleburford.com.au Remember I want you to contribute to my noise ravaged world, so send your noise, images, and words to me and the planet can see you for who you are.

If you are brave enough for another episode so am I, of course it will consist of Noise, more noise and images related to NOISE! Disappearing into the dust this episode closes with the raw energy of “Sunday Faynes with Loco Parentus” the fresh blood that will keep Australian music driving the planet. Sunday says “Get Stuffed”.

Scratch and Bite Outcast.8. "The Stiffies" a celebration. Howdee Doodee PodCastEars. Welcome to OutCast the born again Podcast. Yaarrgghh, thank bloody dog that’s over… The Space Circus dedication to this podcast…Madmen! And now it’s… It’s male testosterone time. It’s time to get a Stiffie thing happening. This is my tribute to one of the great unheard garage bands that never was. The Stiffies. Australias contribution to “World Peace”. Nah it’s just noise and we love it. I had to bounce back from my Mental Mayhem with something to spark my plug, and this is it. The Stiffies last memorial. That is unless you catch their last shows at The Junkyard in Newcastle 18/12/09 or the Landsdowne in Sydney 19/12/09 with Muzzy Pep. So here we go. The Stiffies www.myspace.com/thestiffies Want you to “Come out and Play”. And of course playing with The Stiffies can lead to blindness or in Jimmy’s case something different happened: “Jimmy’s out to Lunch” Digging deep into Stiffydom you discover a background of vinyl nerds and garage transvestibules. One thing you know is “He’s Waiting”. Let me introduce The Stiffies to you First there is Ryan . six strings and a scream of horror…….injecting with gramophone needles, chewing on vinyl, stuffing tapes and CD’s in all orifices.. Bryn sticks and exposed skins … Bad Boy Basher of every known atom on the planet. Pete . fat arse bottom end bastard … nominal music geek, with a devil gnawing his entrails. And Billy… Honking, screaming, biting, harpmanic sound encylopedia. And they all came together at “The Pink Palace” Of course you wouldn’t take them home to meet your parents because their social graces are limited to who they could “Nail”. But of course it’s all bluff and bluster…tall tales… like those spread by your favourite politicians. They are not “Evil to the Core”. These are the sort of people I spend my time with, the sort of people with values to set this planet straight. Remember If you want to contribute to my potato crazed world the most important thing to remember is.

Scratch and Bite Outcast.4. G’day Ear, Eye, and mind probers. It’s going to be a bit noisy this time round! I am indulging myself a bit with my favourite area of the sonic spectrum. The raw, louder, harder, faster end of the scale. Also to celebrate the wonders of APEC being held in Sydney at the moment, it is just a bit politically biased. 16 million for security at APEC and you get OutCast at APEC for zero Next episode will step into more diverse arenas, however politics have dictated a tougher response this time. Don’t forget to send me your mp3’s, images and words, or refer me to your favourite artists or writers at scratchandbite@podomatic.com muzz@scratchandbite.com Or visit www.myspace.com/outcastpodcast Here we go into fray Fresh out of Zen Studios comes a track by a bunch of Sydney hardcore rock veterans.

Scratch and Bite Outcast.3. G’day Noiseaddicts and imageaholics. The news you have been waiting for! The three cast is a free cast. Not bloody likely! The price you pay for listening is that you have to cough up some noise, the odd image or a word or two for me to share with the universe. All the important nuts and bolts for this show are available at http://www.scratchandbite.podOmatic.com Don’t forget to send me your mp3’s, images and words to: muzz@scratchandbite.com Or refer me to your favourite artists or writers at: www.myspace.com/outcastpodcast Plus if you want to suggest an alternate flight plan, shout out to me at: scratchandbite@podomatic.com This time out we spin into an old track by Dead inside the Chrysalis “Future Shock”. Dead inside the Chrysalis are entombed alongside a casket load of pulsating new tracks at www.myspace.com/deadinsidethechrysalis Out in the bush near here, a bunch of diehards are restoring Steam Trains, and seeing I was offered the chance to ride their pride and joy the 19 class engine Betty a couple of days ago I thought I’d share the ride with you. All aboard courtesy of an original track (no pun intended) I don’t think so anyway. The Rail Gang with “1919”, epic violin on this song by Marie-Claire, who I will feature at a later date. The images with this episode are from Blind Rat, Leonard Aitken and Melissa Norman. Blind Rat at www.myspace.com/blindrat Leonard at www.myspace.com/leonardaitkin Melissa at www.myspace.com/vision_impaired_guardian If you want to contribute to the defence of Mars the most important thing to remember is. Send your noise images and words to me so they can join the fight alongside the likes of Smut say “Ron’s the Con” Smut were a New Zealand punk political time machine. You will have to dig deep to find some of their powerful releases. After travelling to Australia in the early nineties they cut some ripper tracks including this one and then dispersed throughout the planet. It’s worth digging to find those tracks. The vaguely hallucinatory and very 80’s Australian classic sounding Doc Greg and the Latex Band bring you “I thought I was Jesus” The Violation of Silence reckon they “Need You” This is one tight ensemble of bloody noisy boys and you can find out more at www.myspace.com/theviolationofsilence because you will need more of this life force noise. We have words from the pencil of 123 this episode. Owing to 123 being in his own words: ******************************************************** I know ... I'm slack ... but my mind moves seemingly like one of those little AI robots who just wanders around in a aimless fashion until it bumps into something and changes direction ... I know that it is in actuality guided by the higher harmonics and is poignantly performing some task that I'm only aware of in retrospective flashes of inspiration and epiphany as some appendage of a higher consciousness whether I be near the seat or even at the helm of such an awareness or not ... and at the moment this ship seems mired down in silly love songs ... and what’s wrong with that ... and the trite but addictive ponderings of the opposite sex are painting the sky all sunsets and nuclear fallout in my psychic firmament ... though, of course my friend anything you like ... if something I've said says something you think the world might enjoy or at least cause a cascade of tiny little brain seizures as some deep subconscious part of them comes into consciousness it's yours to toss into any of the rings under your billowing tent ... ******************************************************** You will need to find him via my friends list at www.myspace.com/muzzinspace Or wait till the next episode when the 123 pencil conjures up images to bemuse Next episode will contain a fresh out of the studio track by Black Elvis. More illusi
