Round 9 was the closest in the AFL era with nail biting finishes almost everywhere, including the first draw of the season. The Giants pulled off another win in Geelong thanks to an impressive seven-goal haul from Jesse Hogan, Paul Roos breaks down his recent success. In Adelaide the Showdown made a strong case for why it deserves a standalone fixture, but Roosy disagrees with Connor Rozee being awarded the Showdown Medal. Speaking of rivalries, who was Roosy's fiercest rival from his Fitzroy playing days? 

Whenever I'm asked for my rules for successful investing, I usually begin my response with this: Rule One – stop reading newspapers. Expressed in a more 21st Century context, stop treating media soundbites as research. People who base their investment decisions on the white noise in news media are running the risk of making very bad moves in the market. My observation of the content of news media coverage of residential real estate is that there is far more misinformation than real, accurate, reliable information. In modern media it's all about clickbait and I find repeatedly that the headline presented to induce you to CLICK is highly misleading – and sometimes an outright lie. I could provide dozens of examples from this week alone, but here's just one classic example. The headline above an article published on the news.com.au network, the nation's biggest news organisation, proclaimed: “Worst is over: where rents are plummeting” This was followed by the following opening statement: “The worst of the rental crisis appears over across much of Australia, with rents plummeting in these areas. But it's not all good news.” Now the headline in this case is more than a lazy piece of sensationalism – because, not only is it untrue to claim that “rents are plummeting” but the content of the article does not support the claim in the headline. You may have observed that, in the surreal world of journalists, nothing falls or decreases or drops – it collapses, it nosedives, it falls off a cliff – and, yes, it plummets. Even when the decline is a few percent, barely a blip, it will be declared to be plummeting. So having made the statement that rents were plummeting and that the worst of the rental shortage crisis was over, the New Limited article utterly failed to deliver on this very big statement. If it was true, it would be one of the stories of the year. But, of course, it wasn't true. According to the article, Queensland's asking rents “have surged again, increasing across 252 Queensland suburbs by up to 15 per cent since June”. I've checked my dictionary definition of “plummeting” and it certainly doesn't apply to the Queensland situation. Next, Victoria. According to this article, there are more than 200 suburbs where rents are now at least $100 a week more expensive for units than in 2021.  It said: “Well-connected areas like Ashburton, Parkville, Aspendale, Caulfield South, Glen Waverley and Carlton have posted some of the biggest rises in weekly unit rents across the past three years, all of them up more than 40 per cent, according to new PropTrack data.” No sign of anything plummeting in Victoria – where, incidentally, many investors have sold up and got out of the state because of draconian anti-landlord measures by the state government. So we can expect rents to keep rising in Melbourne. In Adelaide, rents have fallen a little in the latest quarter in 17% of suburbs examined by PropTrack, but there's no sign of plummeting in the other 83% of suburbs.  Adelaide, in fact, has had extraordinary growth in rentals in the past year and, with the vacancy rate still hovering around 0.6%, there's no real basis for declaring that “the worst is over”. In Perth, the vacancy rate remains well under 1% and there is no real prospect of rent relief any time soon. So, looking through the entire article, the only evidence presented to go even close to supporting the noise in the headline is in Sydney. According to this shoddy piece of “journalism”, Sydney has entered a correction phase. PropTrack attributes the market slowdown to more rental homes becoming available and tenant demand dropping as more renters moved to share houses or back in with their parents to save money. Migration has also waned in recent months. PropTrack says: “Demand and supply are working together to see a stabilisation in rental market conditions.” But no evidence was presented in the article to support the notion that Sydney rents are nosediving. So, in summary, only in Sydney is there evidence that “the worst is over” and there is nothing at all in this work of fiction is justify the claim that rents are plummeting – anywhere. So, what is a realistic overview of the situation with the rental shortage crisis. Nationally, the vacancy rate continues around 1% or slightly above 1%, depending on whose figures you believe. None of the eight capital cities has a vacancy rate anywhere near 3%, which is the benchmark for a stable rental market with steady rents. There are no government measures in play which will move the dial on this in the foreseeable future – except decisions which are likely to make it worse, rather than better. In some locations, however, I do expect rental increases to moderate, because a ceiling has been reached in terms of the market's ability to pay. Amid a cost-of-living crisis, tenants cannot keep paying higher and higher rents, regardless of how many people they jam into a three-bedroom house or small apartment. But rents plummeting? We're unlikely to see that anywhere, not while vacancies are as low as they are.  

This week, two of the great races on the Australian calendar go head to head, one of them 145 years old and the other just seven years young. The local, imported and overseas stayers do battle in the Caulfield Cup, while the best sprinters in the land duke it out in the $20 million Everest at Randwick, where enigmatic ex-Kiwi I Wish I Win is sure to be among the main fancies. The King Charles III Stakes for the milers and the Kosciuszko for the country sprinters add intrigue to the Randwick card, while the Sportsbet Classic for the derby-bound three-year-olds, the Thousand Guineas Prelude for the fillies and the Millennium Sprint are on the undercard at the Heath. In Adelaide, more Victoria Derby contenders will be going around in the Hill Smith Stakes at Morphettville.

If you don't like the idea of Saudi Arabia putting money into sport, then tell anyone you know who supports Manchester City to burn their shirt.  If you don't like the idea of Saudi Arabia putting money into sport, then tell anyone you know who's right into Formula 1 that they should be ashamed of themselves.  If you don't like the idea of Saudi Arabia putting money into sport, then you'll be with New Zealand golfing legend Sir Bob Charles who doesn't want a bar of the LIV Golf Tour coming to Christchurch.   The golf tour which is funded by Saudi Arabia. And which has been accused of using sport to cover up Saudi Arabia's appalling human rights record.   Amnesty International says the Saudis are still executing people; they discriminate against women; they treat migrants poorly; they punish and even kill people for being anything other than heterosexual.  But they're also investing like there's no tomorrow in sport. Football, Formula 1 motor racing, horse racing, cricket, boxing, tennis, wrestling, mixed martial arts, eSports and golf.     Which is how LIV Golf came about - as an alternative to the staid and traditional PGA Golf Tour. It's been a disruptor. Just like the Indian Premier Cricket League.   And, as well as being accused of sportswashing —or trying to use sport as a distraction from the way Saudi Arabia treats people— it's also put noses out of joint by signing mega million-dollar deals with the sport's stars.  And it could be coming to Christchurch as early as next year.   The understanding is that LIV Golf has its eyes on either the Clearwater or Shirley courses. It already has an event in Adelaide which, apparently, went off big time when it was held there earlier this year.  Nearly a hundred thousand people turned up. And I'm no golf expert but, talking to people who know a thing-or-two about golf, they say that LIV Golf is a bit like a cross between golf and the rugby sevens.   Because of the way that it's all about the experience for the spectators. A bit like SailGP, actually, too. An experience for the spectators as much as it is a sporting event.  With LIV Golf they have music out on the greens. I gather, too, that the crowds are allowed to get closer to the action. So it's all about putting on a great time for the people who turn up.  And like SailGP, for example, it probably gets your non-golfing types going along as much as your golfing types.   But local golfing legend, Sir Bob Charles —who lives in Christchurch— doesn't want a bar of it.   He says he wants nothing to do with it because of the way it has divided the sport.   Here's what he's been saying to the NZ Herald: “I hope they're not playing at either of my golf courses. I don't endorse LIV Golf in any way. In fact, quite the opposite. I want nothing to do with it. I wouldn't walk across the street to watch.”    But it seems there are a truckload of people who do cross the road to watch. I base that on the turn-out to events LIV has already held.  I mentioned Adeliade earlier - that's the closest the tour has come to New Zealand. So far, anyway. My understanding is that it wants to have an event in New Zealand that it could run either before or after the one in Adeliade.  There's been interest from other parts of Australia but LIV Golf doesn't want to have another event on that side of the Tasman, and New Zealand is its preference. Which is why some of its people have visited Christchurch to check the place out.  LIV Golf has proved hugely popular with younger people, in particular.   In Adelaide, there was partying well into the night. Here's an idea of how much of a party it was - they sold nearly 120-thousand beers. And it was brilliant for tourism, with 40 percent of people travelling to Adelaide from elsewhere.  So yes, I'm not into Saudi Arabia's human rights record. Which is putting it mildly. But I think, just by the sheer level of its involvement in global sport, that the horse has already bolted and we shouldn't be turning our back on LIV Golf heading to Christchurch.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Intro music from:Arthemis - Survivor (Destiny's Child Cover)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjYCOtYjCY4The Survivor is a 1981 supernatural horror Australian-British co-production directed by David Hemmings and starring Robert Powell, Jenny Agutter, and Joseph Cotten.In Adelaide, Australia (not Eton in the UK as in the original novel written by James Herbert), airline pilot David Keller (played by Powell) survives the crash of his Boeing 747-200, unhurt despite all 300 passengers dying in the accident. With no memories of the accident, he starts to suffer strange supernatural visions.Director David Hemmings is most famous for his acting roles, including Dildano in Barbarella, Marcus Daly in Dario Argento's Deep Red, and Thomas, the fashion photographer in the hugely successful avant-garde mystery film Blowup – a role turned down by Sean Connery because director Michelangelo Antonioni would not show him the full script but only a seven-page treatment stored in a cigarette packet. Hemmings would later feature in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with Connery 37 years later.Robert Powell, best known for his portrayal of a charismatic cult leader/son of a carpenter in the 1977 epic television drama series Jesus of Nazareth, also played secret agent Richard Hannay in The Thirty-Nine Steps, appeared in Ken Russell's Tommy as Captain Walker and, at the request of his friend and golf partner, comedian Jasper Carrott, co-starred in the BBC sitcom The Detectives (which ran for five series!). He also lent his voice to the 2002 rock opera The Hound of the Baskervilles by Clive Nolan and Oliver Wakeman, playing John Watson. Powell was considered for several roles in Lifeforce (featured in episode 39 of this podcast). A founder member of the Social Democratic Party in 1981, he campaigned alongside Barry Norman on behalf of the party's first leader, Roy Jenkins.Jenny Agutter (OBE), who plays the role of Hobbs the clairvoyant (a male character in the novel), is best known for her ongoing role in the inexplicably popular Call the Midwife. She also starred in two adaptations of The Railway Children, the critically acclaimed film Walkabout, and, relevant to this podcast, An American Werewolf in London (listen to episode 26 for more info). The film also features Joseph Cotten, (best man at Orson Welles's wedding to Rita Hayworth) appeared in five films selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant. In addition to these classics, he appeared in many films and TV programs, including, pertinent to this podcast, one episode of Tales of the Unexpected. He later admitted, "I was in a lot of junk. I get nervous when I don't work." This was his final motion picture, suffering a stroke shortly after working on it.James Herbert, author of the source novel, sent a note to David Hemmings offering his assistance. He never received a reply, and in 1988 dismissed this film and the later Deadly Eyes (the film adaptation of The Rats) as "They're terrible...absolute rubbish. I can only say - don't blame me." The Survivor was Herbert's third novel, published in 1976, coming after The Rats and The Fog.The music for this film is by Brian May! …but not the one you're thinking of... This is the Australian Brian May, who has an impressive musical CV, including: The Blue Lagoon, Gallipoli, Mad Max, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Missing in Action 2 and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.This was the first Australian movie to cost more than $1 million (Australian) to make. The location was shifted to OZ as a complex tax dodge, allowing English investors to completely write-off on the whole film.

"I feel like I was underlooked a little bit on social media. Everyone was talking about Cam (Myers) and Olli (Hoare) and Stewy (McSweyn), but I think that kind of worked in my favor. There's no pressure – I had everything to gain and nothing to lose. So I was like, “Alright, let's go out here and have a crack at it.” I think it was kind of a blessing in disguise almost." Wisconsin's Adam Spencer is the Australian 1500m national champion. He was the runner-up in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Championships back in March. In Adelaide, he just narrowly beat out fellow Badger legend and Olympic finalist Olli Hoare. It was widely considered the best 1500m field in Australian history and it delivered with a tactical race that came down to the final 100 meters. Adam has the Olympic standard from his 3:31 personal best at last summer's London Diamond League. Now, he's just got to prove his fitness to selectors and he'll be squared away to make his Olympic debut in Paris. He did represent Australia at last summer's World Championships in Budapest. We recorded this a few weeks ago and since then, he just won the Big Ten title in the 800 meters. Watch for him as the NCAA season heads into its championship run, where he'll be looking to win his first NCAA title.

In Adelaide today, Brad Foster reports on the current debate on whether nuclear power is the answer to Australia reducing its reliance on fossil fuels for energy consumption.

In Adelaide, thousands of people attended international music and arts festival WOMAD over the weekend. Among this year's attractions, the Ukrainian community created a café to share music, culture and food… and raise money for the Ukraine Crisis Appeal. It's also the culmination of an art therapy project for Ukrainians displaced by the war who have painted the cafe chairs with symbols of hope. - В Аделаиде в минувшие выходные тысячи людей посетили международный фестиваль музыки и искусства WOMAD. Украинская община представила кафе, где делились музыкой, культурой и едой… и собирали деньги для Ukraine Crisis Appeal. Кроме того, была организована арт-терапия для украинцев, переехавших из-за войны, которые расписали стулья кафе символами надежды.

It's really disheartening sometimes to see how bad the media coverage of real estate is in Australia. The media's standard treatment of the affordability issue is a prime example. Mainstream media delights in running the story line that first-home buyers are priced out of the market and that's not even worth trying to find a home. That story has run pretty much every day, somewhere in the national media, for not just years but for decades. One particularly ridiculous treatment of this cliché came with a headline that asked whether it was “really possible” to find “a home in an Australian capital city for under $750,000” and a story that suggested that it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to achieve. This article, like so many on the subject, was shallow, pointless and just plain wrong. Here's the reality. The median dwelling price in Perth, according to PropTrack, is currently $640,000 – which means half of all sales are for less than $640,000. So, can you find a home for under $750,000 in Perth? Obviously, even in the hot Perth market, there are myriad possibilities. In Adelaide, the median price is slightly over $700,000 – which, again, means half of all homes are selling for less than that figure. No problem finding a home under $750,000 in the South Australian capital. Darwin? The median price is $480,000. Hobart? The median there is $670,000. Even in larger and more expensive cities like Melbourne and Brisbane, the medians are around $790,000 – so also lots of options below $750,000 there as well. Nationally, according to PropTrack, the median dwelling price is $760,000 – and, to labour the point, that means half of all sales for prices lower than $760,000. So why would a media outlet that wants to be taken seriously suggest it's almost impossible to find. Clearly, this article and its headline, like so many, are inaccurate and blatantly dishonest. The objective here, of course, is NOT to help people. Media's objective is NEVER to be helpful. The goal is to alarm, to dismay, to startle. Shame on the journalist who wrote it and on the media outlets that published it. Another of the things media always does, in its efforts to perpetuate the fallacy about affordability, is to completely ignore ATTACHED dwellings as part of the solution. For young Australians, and many other buyer cohorts as well, units and townhouses are valid options in the search for well-located homes at affordable prices. Earlier in this commentary, I gave the median dwelling prices for most of the capital cities of Australia and showed that there were lots of options under $750,000. The exception, of course, is Australia's most expensive city, Sydney.  But for buyers happy to consider units and townhouses as potential solutions, even Sydney provides lots of options. According to PropTrack, the median unit price for Sydney is currently $790,000. Half of all sales have been below this figure, so clearly buyers can find options below that benchmark of $750,000 set by that shallow media publication. The median unit price across the capital cities of Australia a little under $650,000. In regional Australia, it's $555,000. Why does mainstream media never consider units when discussing housing affordability? Because it doesn't suit their preferred narrative, which is to tell people that there are no affordable options anywhere and they should be outraged. As I said, media's objective is NOT to be helpful. Their goal is to create clickbait and they're willing to be dishonest and inaccurate in achieving that.

The International Theater Amsterdam (ITA), formerly known as Toneelgroep Amsterdam, plays during the Adelaide Festival. Actors like Ramsey Nasr, Hans Kesting and Maarten Heijmans play in 'A Little Life'. The play is in Dutch, while the audience is mainly Australian. Our reporter Malou Helder asked Maarten Heijmans how that works and what his first impression are of Australia. - In Adelaide is het festivalseizoen van start gegaan met de Fringe, Writers' Week en nu ook met het Adelaide Festival. Een van de toneelgezelschappen die hier te bewonderen zijn is het Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (ITA), voorheen Toneelgroep Amsterdam. Onder andere Ramsey Nasr, Hans Kesting en Maarten Heijmans spelen het stuk 'A Little Life' in het Nederlands, voor een voornamelijk Australisch publiek. Verslaggever Malou Helder sprak met Maarten Heijmans over hoe dit precies in zijn werk gaat en over zijn eerste indruk van Australië.

Episode one hundred and fifty-five of A History of Rock Music in Five Hundred Songs looks at “Waterloo Sunset” by the Kinks, and the self-inflicted damage the group did to their career between 1965 and 1967.

Check out Tilt's irregular podcasts at http://www.podnose.com/jaffa-cakes-for-proust and http://sitcomclub.com/ Resources No Mixcloud this week, as there are too many Kinks songs. I've used several resources for this and future episodes on the Kinks, most notably Ray Davies: A Complicated Life by Johnny Rogan and You Really Got Me by Nick Hasted. X-Ray by Ray Davies is a remarkable autobiography with a framing story set in a dystopian science-fiction future, while Kink by Dave Davies is more revealing but less well-written. The Anthology 1964-1971 is a great box set that covers the Kinks' Pye years, which overlap almost exactly with their period of greatest creativity. For those who don't want a full box set, this two-CD set covers all the big hits. And this is the interview with Rasa I discuss in the episode. Patreon This podcast is brought to you by the generosity of my backers on Patreon. Why not join them? Transcript Before I start, this episode has some mentions of racism and homophobia, several discussions of physical violence, one mention of domestic violence, and some discussion of mental illness. I've tried to discuss these things with a reasonable amount of sensitivity, but there's a tabloid element to some of my sources which inevitably percolates through, so be warned if you find those things upsetting. One of the promises I made right at the start of this project was that I would not be doing the thing that almost all podcasts do of making huge chunks of the episodes be about myself -- if I've had to update people about something in my life that affects the podcast, I've done it in separate admin episodes, so the episodes themselves will not be taken up with stuff about me. The podcast is not about me. I am making a very slight exception in this episode, for reasons that will become clear -- there's no way for me to tell this particular story the way I need to without bringing myself into it at least a little. So I wanted to state upfront that this is a one-off thing. The podcast is not suddenly going to change. But one question that I get asked a lot -- far more than I'd expect -- is "do the people you talk about in the podcast ever get in touch with you about what you've said?" Now that has actually happened twice, both times involving people leaving comments on relatively early episodes. The first time is probably the single thing I'm proudest of achieving with this series, and it was a comment left on the episode on "Goodnight My Love" a couple of years back: [Excerpt: Jesse Belvin, "Goodnight My Love"] That comment was from Debra Frazier and read “Jesse Belvin is my Beloved Uncle, my mother's brother. I've been waiting all my life for him to be recognized in this manner. I must say the content in this podcast is 100% correct!Joann and Jesse practically raised me. Can't express how grateful I am. Just so glad someone got it right. I still miss them dearly to this day. My world was forever changed Feb. 6th 1960. I can remember him writing most of those songs right there in my grandmother's living room. I think I'm his last living closest relative, that knows everything in this podcast is true." That comment by itself would have justified me doing this whole podcast. The other such comment actually came a couple of weeks ago, and was on the episode on "Only You": [Excerpt: The Platters, "Only You"] That was a longer comment, from Gayle Schrieber, an associate of Buck Ram, and started "Well, you got some of it right. Your smart-assed sarcasm and know-it-all attitude is irritating since I Do know it all from the business side but what the heck. You did better than most people – with the exception of Marv Goldberg." Given that Marv Goldberg is the single biggest expert on 1950s vocal groups in the world, I'll take that as at least a backhanded compliment. So those are the only two people who I've talked about in the podcast who've commented, but before the podcast I had a blog, and at various times people whose work I wrote about would comment -- John Cowsill of the Cowsills still remembers a blog post where I said nice things about him fourteen years ago, for example. And there was one comment on a blog post I made four or five years ago which confirmed something I'd suspected for a while… When we left the Kinks, at the end of 1964, they had just recorded their first album. That album was not very good, but did go to number three in the UK album charts, which is a much better result than it sounds. Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon got to number one in 1960, but otherwise the only rock acts to make number one on the album charts from the start of the sixties through the end of 1967 were Elvis, Cliff Richard, the Shadows, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and the Monkees. In the first few years of the sixties they were interspersed with the 101 Strings, trad jazz, the soundtrack to West Side Story, and a blackface minstrel group, The George Mitchell Singers. From mid-1963 through to the end of 1967, though, literally the only things to get to number one on the album charts were the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, the Monkees, and the soundtrack to The Sound of Music. That tiny cabal was eventually broken at the end of 1967 by Val Doonican Rocks… But Gently, and from 1968 on the top of the album charts becomes something like what we would expect today, with a whole variety of different acts, I make this point to point out two things The first is that number three on the album charts is an extremely good position for the Kinks to be in -- when they reached that point the Rolling Stones' second album had just entered at number one, and Beatles For Sale had dropped to number two after eight weeks at the top -- and the second is that for most rock artists and record labels, the album market was simply not big enough or competitive enough until 1968 for it to really matter. What did matter was the singles chart. And "You Really Got Me" had been a genuinely revolutionary hit record. According to Ray Davies it had caused particular consternation to both the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds, both of whom had thought they would be the first to get to number one with a dirty, distorted, R&B-influenced guitar-riff song. And so three weeks after the release of the album came the group's second single. Originally, the plan had been to release a track Ray had been working on called "Tired of Waiting", but that was a slower track, and it was decided that the best thing to do would be to try to replicate the sound of their first hit. So instead, they released "All Day And All Of The Night": [Excerpt: The Kinks, "All Day And All Of The Night"] That track was recorded by the same team as had recorded "You Really Got Me", except with Perry Ford replacing Arthur Greenslade on piano. Once again, Bobby Graham was on drums rather than Mick Avory, and when Ray Davies suggested that he might want to play a different drum pattern, Graham just asked him witheringly "Who do you think you are?" "All Day and All of the Night" went to number two -- a very impressive result for a soundalike follow-up -- and was kept off the number one spot first by "Baby Love" by the Supremes and then by "Little Red Rooster" by the Rolling Stones. The group quickly followed it up with an EP, Kinksize Session, consisting of three mediocre originals plus the group's version of "Louie Louie". By February 1965 that had hit number one on the EP charts, knocking the Rolling Stones off. Things were going as well as possible for the group. Ray and his girlfriend Rasa got married towards the end of 1964 -- they had to, as Rasa was pregnant and from a very religious Catholic family. By contrast, Dave was leading the kind of life that can only really be led by a seventeen-year-old pop star -- he moved out of the family home and in with Mick Avory after his mother caught him in bed with five women, and once out of her watchful gaze he also started having affairs with men, which was still illegal in 1964. (And which indeed would still be illegal for seventeen-year-olds until 2001). In January, they released their third hit single, "Tired of Waiting for You". The track was a ballad rather than a rocker, but still essentially another variant on the theme of "You Really Got Me" -- a song based around a few repeated phrases of lyric, and with a chorus with two major chords a tone apart. "You Really Got Me"'s chorus has the change going up: [Plays "You Really Got Me" chorus chords] While "Tired Of Waiting For You"'s chorus has the change going down: [Plays "Tired of Waiting For You" chorus chords] But it's trivially easy to switch between the two if you play them in the same key: [Demonstrates] Ray has talked about how "Tired of Waiting for You" was partly inspired by how he felt tired of waiting for the fame that the Kinks deserved, and the music was written even before "You Really Got Me". But when they went into the studio to record it, the only lyrics he had were the chorus. Once they'd recorded the backing track, he worked on the lyrics at home, before coming back into the studio to record his vocals, with Rasa adding backing vocals on the softer middle eight: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Tired of Waiting For You"] After that track was recorded, the group went on a tour of Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. The flight out to Australia was thirty-four hours, and also required a number of stops. One stop to refuel in Moscow saw the group forced back onto the plane at gunpoint after Pete Quaife unwisely made a joke about the recently-deposed Russian Premier Nikita Khruschev. They also had a stop of a couple of days in Mumbai, where Ray was woken up by the sounds of fishermen chanting at the riverside, and enchanted by both the sound and the image. In Adelaide, Ray and Dave met up for the first time in years with their sister Rose and her husband Arthur. Ray was impressed by their comparative wealth, but disliked the slick modernity of their new suburban home. Dave became so emotional about seeing his big sister again that he talked about not leaving her house, not going to the show that night, and just staying in Australia so they could all be a family again. Rose sadly told him that he knew he couldn't do that, and he eventually agreed. But the tour wasn't all touching family reunions. They also got into a friendly rivalry with Manfred Mann, who were also on the tour and were competing with the Kinks to be the third-biggest group in the UK behind the Beatles and the Stones, and at one point both bands ended up on the same floor of the same hotel as the Stones, who were on their own Australian tour. The hotel manager came up in the night after a complaint about the noise, saw the damage that the combined partying of the three groups had caused, and barricaded them into that floor, locking the doors and the lift shafts, so that the damage could be contained to one floor. "Tired of Waiting" hit number one in the UK while the group were on tour, and it also became their biggest hit in the US, reaching number six, so on the way home they stopped off in the US for a quick promotional appearance on Hullabaloo. According to Ray's accounts, they were asked to do a dance like Freddie and the Dreamers, he and Mick decided to waltz together instead, and the cameras cut away horrified at the implied homosexuality. In fact, examining the footage shows the cameras staying on the group as Mick approaches Ray, arms extended, apparently offering to waltz, while Ray backs off nervous and confused, unsure what's going on. Meanwhile Dave and Pete on the other side of the stage are being gloriously camp with their arms around each other's shoulders. When they finally got back to the UK, they were shocked to hear this on the radio: [Excerpt: The Who, "I Can't Explain"] Ray was horrified that someone had apparently stolen the group's sound, especially when he found out it was the Who, who as the High Numbers had had a bit of a rivalry with the group. He said later "Dave thought it was us! It was produced by Shel Talmy, like we were. They used the same session singers as us, and Perry Ford played piano, like he did on ‘All Day And All Of The Night'. I felt a bit appalled by that. I think that was worse than stealing a song – they were actually stealing our whole style!” Pete Townshend later admitted as much, saying that he had deliberately demoed "I Can't Explain" to sound as much like the Kinks as possible so that Talmy would see its potential. But the Kinks were still, for the moment, doing far better than the Who. In March, shortly after returning from their foreign tour, they released their second album, Kinda Kinks. Like their first album, it was a very patchy effort, but it made number two on the charts, behind the Rolling Stones. But Ray Davies was starting to get unhappy. He was dissatisfied with everything about his life. He would talk later about looking at his wife lying in bed sleeping and thinking "What's she doing here?", and he was increasingly wondering if the celebrity pop star life was right for him, simultaneously resenting and craving the limelight, and doing things like phoning the music papers to deny rumours that he was leaving the Kinks -- rumours which didn't exist until he made those phone calls. As he thought the Who had stolen the Kinks' style, Ray decided to go in a different direction for the next Kinks single, and recorded "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy", which was apparently intended to sound like Motown, though to my ears it bears no resemblance: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy"] That only went to number nineteen -- still a hit, but a worry for a band who had had three massive hits in a row. Several of the band started to worry seriously that they were going to end up with no career at all. It didn't help that on the tour after recording that, Ray came down with pneumonia. Then Dave came down with bronchitis. Then Pete Quaife hit his head and had to be hospitalised with severe bleeding and concussion. According to Quaife, he fainted in a public toilet and hit his head on the bowl on the way down, but other band members have suggested that Quaife -- who had a reputation for telling tall stories, even in a band whose members are all known for rewriting history -- was ashamed after getting into a fight. In April they played the NME Poll-Winners' Party, on the same bill as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Animals, the Moody Blues, the Searchers, Freddie And The Dreamers, Herman's Hermits, Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders, the Rockin' Berries, the Seekers, the Ivy League, Them, the Bachelors, Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield, Twinkle, Tom Jones, Donovan, and Sounds Incorporated. Because they got there late they ended up headlining, going on after the Beatles, even though they hadn't won an award, only come second in best new group, coming far behind the Stones but just ahead of Manfred Mann and the Animals. The next single, "Set Me Free", was a conscious attempt to correct course after "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy" had been less successful: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Set Me Free"] The song is once again repetitive, and once again based on a riff, structured similarly to "Tired of Waiting" but faster and more upbeat, and with a Beatles-style falsetto in the chorus. It worked -- it returned the group to the top ten -- but Ray wasn't happy at writing to order. He said in August of that year “I'm ashamed of that song. I can stand to hear and even sing most of the songs I've written, but not that one. It's built around pure idiot harmonies that have been used in a thousand songs.” More recently he's talked about how the lyric was an expression of him wanting to be set free from the constraint of having to write a hit song in the style he felt he was outgrowing. By the time the single was released, though, it looked like the group might not even be together any longer. There had always been tensions in the band. Ray and Dave had a relationship that made the Everly Brothers look like the model of family amity, and while Pete Quaife stayed out of the arguments for the most part, Mick Avory couldn't. The core of the group had always been the Davies brothers, and Quaife had known them for years, but Avory was a relative newcomer and hadn't grown up with them, and they also regarded him as a bit less intelligent than the rest of the group. He became the butt of jokes on a fairly constant basis. That would have been OK, except that Avory was also an essentially passive person, who didn't want to take sides in conflicts, while Dave Davies thought that as he and Avory were flatmates they should be on the same side, and resented when Avory didn't take his side in arguments with Ray. As Dave remembered it, the trigger came when he wanted to change the setlist and Mick didn't support him against Ray. In others' recollection, it came when the rest of the band tried to get Dave away from a party and he got violent with them. Both may be true. Either way, Dave got drunk and threw a suitcase at the back of a departing Mick, who was normally a fairly placid person but had had enough, and so he turned round, furious, grabbed Dave, got him in a headlock and just started punching, blackening both his eyes. According to some reports, Avory was so infuriated with Dave that he knocked him out, and Dave was so drunk and angry that when he came to he went for Avory again, and got knocked out again. The next day, the group were driven to their show in separate cars -- the Davies brothers in one, the rhythm section in the other -- they had separate dressing rooms, and made their entrance from separate directions. They got through the first song OK, and then Dave Davies insulted Avory's drumming, spat at him, and kicked his drums so they scattered all over the stage. At this point, a lot of the audience were still thinking this was part of the act, but Avory saw red again and picked up his hi-hat cymbal and smashed it down edge-first onto Dave's head. Everyone involved says that if his aim had been very slightly different he would have actually killed Dave. As it is, Dave collapsed, unconscious, bleeding everywhere. Ray screamed "My brother! He's killed my little brother!" and Mick, convinced he was a murderer, ran out of the theatre, still wearing his stage outfit of a hunting jacket and frilly shirt. He was running away for his life -- and that was literal, as Britain still technically had the death penalty at this point; while the last executions in Britain took place in 1964, capital punishment for murder wasn't abolished until late 1965 -- but at the same time a gang of screaming girls outside who didn't know what was going on were chasing him because he was a pop star. He managed to get back to London, where he found that the police had been looking for him but that Dave was alive and didn't want to press charges. However, he obviously couldn't go back to their shared home, and they had to cancel gigs because Dave had been hospitalised. It looked like the group were finished for good. Four days after that, Ray and Rasa's daughter Louisa was born, and shortly after that Ray was in the studio again, recording demos: [Excerpt: Ray Davies, "I Go to Sleep (demo)"] That song was part of a project that Larry Page, the group's co-manager, and Eddie Kassner, their publisher, had of making Ray's songwriting a bigger income source, and getting his songs recorded by other artists. Ray had been asked to write it for Peggy Lee, who soon recorded her own version: [Excerpt: Peggy Lee, "I Go to Sleep"] Several of the other tracks on that demo session featured Mitch Mitchell on drums. At the time, Mitchell was playing with another band that Page managed, and there seems to have been some thought of him possibly replacing Avory in the group. But instead, Larry Page cut the Gordian knot. He invited each band member to a meeting, just the two of them -- and didn't tell them that he'd scheduled all these meetings at the same time. When they got there, they found that they'd been tricked into having a full band meeting, at which point Page just talked to them about arrangements for their forthcoming American tour, and didn't let them get a word in until he'd finished. At the end he asked if they had any questions, and Mick Avory said he'd need some new cymbals because he'd broken his old ones on Dave's head. Before going on tour, the group recorded a song that Ray had written inspired by that droning chanting he'd heard in Mumbai. The song was variously titled "See My Friend" and "See My Friends" -- it has been released under both titles, and Ray seems to sing both words at different times -- and Ray told Maureen Cleave "The song is about homosexuality… It's like a football team and the way they're always kissing each other.” (We will be talking about Ray Davies' attitudes towards sexuality and gender in a future episode, but suffice to say that like much of Davies' worldview, he has a weird mixture of very progressive and very reactionary views, and he is also prone to observe behaviours in other people's private lives and make them part of his own public persona). The guitar part was recorded on a bad twelve-string guitar that fed back in the studio, creating a drone sound, which Shel Talmy picked up on and heavily compressed, creating a sound that bore more than a little resemblance to a sitar: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "See My Friend"] If that had been released at the time, it would have made the Kinks into trend-setters. Instead it was left in the can for nearly three months, and in the meantime the Yardbirds released the similar-sounding "Heart Full of Soul", making the Kinks look like bandwagon-jumpers when their own record came out, and reinforcing a paranoid belief that Ray had started to develop that his competitors were stealing his ideas. The track taking so long to come out was down to repercussions from the group's American tour, which changed the course of their whole career in ways they could not possibly have predicted. This was still the era when the musicians' unions of the US and UK had a restrictive one-in, one-out policy for musicians, and you couldn't get a visa to play in the US without the musicians' union's agreement -- and the AFM were not very keen on the British invasion, which they saw as taking jobs away from their members. There are countless stories from this period of bands like the Moody Blues getting to the US only to find that the arrangements have fallen through and they can't perform. Around this time, Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders were told they weren't notable enough to get permission to play more than one gig, even though they were at number one on the charts in the US at the time. So it took a great deal of effort to get the Kinks' first US tour arranged, and they had to make a good impression. Unfortunately, while the Beatles and Stones knew how to play the game and give irreverent, cheeky answers that still left the interviewers amused and satisfied, the Kinks were just flat-out confusing and rude: [Excerpt: The Kinks Interview with Clay Cole] The whole tour went badly. They were booked into unsuitable venues, and there were a series of events like the group being booked on the same bill as the Dave Clark Five, and both groups having in their contract that they would be the headliner. Promoters started to complain about them to their management and the unions, and Ray was behaving worse and worse. By the time the tour hit LA, Ray was being truly obnoxious. According to Larry Page he refused to play one TV show because there was a Black drummer on the same show. Page said that it was not about personal prejudice -- though it's hard to see how it could not be, at least in part -- but just picking something arbitrary to complain about to show he had the power to mess things up. While shooting a spot for the show Where The Action Is, Ray got into a physical fight with one of the other cast members over nothing. What Ray didn't realise was that the person in question was a representative for AFTRA, the screen performers' union, and was already unhappy because Dave had earlier refused to join the union. Their behaviour got reported up the chain. The day after the fight was supposed to be the highlight of the tour, but Ray was missing his wife. In the mid-sixties, the Beach Boys would put on a big Summer Spectacular at the Hollywood Bowl every year, and the Kinks were due to play it, on a bill which as well as the Beach Boys also featured the Byrds, the Righteous Brothers, Dino, Desi & Billy, and Sonny and Cher. But Ray said he wasn't going on unless Rasa was there. And he didn't tell Larry Page, who was there, that. Instead, he told a journalist at the Daily Mirror in London, and the first Page heard about it was when the journalist phoned him to confirm that Ray wouldn't be playing. Now, they had already been working to try to get Rasa there for the show, because Ray had been complaining for a while. But Rasa didn't have a passport. Not only that, but she was an immigrant and her family were from Lithuania, and the US State Department weren't exactly keen on people from the Eastern Bloc flying to the US. And it was a long flight. I don't know exactly how long a flight from London to LA took then, but it takes eleven and a half hours now, and it will have been around that length. Somehow, working a miracle, Larry Page co-ordinated with his co-managers Robert Wace and Grenville Collins back in London -- difficult in itself as Wace and Collins and Page and his business partner Eddie Kassner were by now in two different factions, because Ray had been manipulating them and playing them off against each other for months. But the three of them worked together and somehow got Rasa to LA in time for Ray to go on stage. Page waited around long enough to see that Ray had got on stage at the Hollywood Bowl, then flew back to London. He had had enough of Ray's nonsense, and didn't really see any need to be there anyway, because they had a road manager, their publisher, their agent, and plenty of support staff. He felt that he was only there to be someone for Ray Davies to annoy and take his frustrations out on. And indeed, once Page flew back to the UK, Ray calmed down, though how much of that was the presence of Rasa it's hard to say. Their road manager at the time though said "If Larry wasn't there, Ray couldn't make problems because there was nobody there to make them to. He couldn't make problems for me because I just ignored them. For example, in Hawaii, the shirts got stolen. Ray said, ‘No way am I going onstage without my shirt.' So I turned around and said to him, ‘Great, don't go on!' Of course, they went on.” They did miss the gig the next night in San Francisco, with more or less the same lineup as the Hollywood Bowl show -- they'd had problems with the promoter of that show at an earlier gig in Reno, and so Ray said they weren't going to play unless they got paid in cash upfront. When the promoter refused, the group just walked on stage, waved, and walked off. But other than that, the rest of the tour went OK. What they didn't realise until later was that they had made so many enemies on that tour that it would be impossible for them to return to the US for another four years. They weren't blacklisted, as such, they just didn't get the special treatment that was necessary to make it possible for them to visit there. From that point on they would still have a few hits in the US, but nothing like the sustained massive success they had in the UK in the same period. Ray felt abandoned by Page, and started to side more and more with Wace and Collins. Page though was still trying to promote Ray's songwriting. Some of this, like the album "Kinky Music" by the Larry Page Orchestra, released during the tour, was possibly not the kind of promotion that anyone wanted, though some of it has a certain kitsch charm: [Excerpt: The Larry Page Orchestra, "All Day And All Of The Night"] Incidentally, the guitarist on that album was Jimmy Page, who had previously played rhythm guitar on a few Kinks album tracks. But other stuff that Larry Page was doing would be genuinely helpful. For example, on the tour he had become friendly with Stone and Greene, the managers who we heard about in the Buffalo Springfield episode. At this point they were managing Sonny and Cher, and when they came over to the UK, Page took the opportunity to get Cher into the studio to cut a version of Ray's "I Go to Sleep": [Excerpt: Cher, "I Go to Sleep"] Most songwriters, when told that the biggest new star of the year was cutting a cover version of one of their tracks for her next album, would be delighted. Ray Davies, on the other hand, went to the session and confronted Page, screaming about how Page was stealing his ideas. And it was Page being marginalised that caused "See My Friend" to be delayed, because while they were in the US, Page had produced the group in Gold Star Studios, recording a version of Ray's song "Ring the Bells", and Page wanted that as the next single, but the group had a contract with Shel Talmy which said he would be their producer. They couldn't release anything Talmy hadn't produced, but Page, who had control over the group's publishing with his business partner Kassner, wouldn't let them release "See My Friend". Eventually, Talmy won out, and "See My Friend" became the group's next single. It made the top ten on the Record Retailer chart, the one that's now the official UK chart cited in most sources, but only number fifteen on the NME chart which more people paid attention to at the time, and only spent a few weeks on the charts. Ray spent the summer complaining in the music papers about how the track -- "the only one I've really liked", as he said at the time -- wasn't selling as much as it deserved, and also insulting Larry Page and boasting about his own abilities, saying he was a better singer than Andy Williams and Tony Bennett. The group sacked Larry Page as their co-manager, and legal battles between Page and Kassner on one side and Collins and Wace on the other would continue for years, tying up much of the group's money. Page went on to produce a new band he was managing, making records that sounded very like the Kinks' early hits: [Excerpt: The Troggs, "Wild Thing"] The Kinks, meanwhile, decided to go in a different direction for their new EP, Kwyet Kinks, an EP of mostly softer, folk- and country-inspired songs. The most interesting thing on Kwyet Kinks was "Well-Respected Man", which saw Ray's songwriting go in a completely different direction as he started to write gentle social satires with more complex lyrics, rather than the repetitive riff-based songs he'd been doing before. That track was released as a single in the US, which didn't have much of an EP market, and made the top twenty there, despite its use of a word that in England at the time had a double meaning -- either a cigarette or a younger boy at a public school who has to be the servant of an older boy -- but in America was only used as a slur for gay people: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Well Respected Man"] The group's next album, The Kink Kontroversy, was mostly written in a single week, and is another quickie knockoff album. It had the hit single "Til the End of the Day", another attempt at getting back to their old style of riffy rockers, and one which made the top ten. It also had a rerecorded version of "Ring the Bells", the song Larry Page had wanted to release as a single: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Ring the Bells"] I'm sure that when Ray Davies heard "Ruby Tuesday" a little over a year later he didn't feel any better about the possibility that people were stealing his ideas. The Kink Kontroversy was a transitional album for the group in many ways. It was the first album to prominently feature Nicky Hopkins, who would be an integral part of the band's sound for the next three years, and the last one to feature a session drummer (Clem Cattini, rather than Avory, played on most of the tracks). From this point on there would essentially be a six-person group of studio Kinks who would make the records -- the four Kinks themselves, Rasa Davies on backing vocals, and Nicky Hopkins on piano. At the end of 1965 the group were flailing, mired in lawsuits, and had gone from being the third biggest group in the country at the start of the year to maybe the tenth or twentieth by the end of it. Something had to change. And it did with the group's next single, which in both its sound and its satirical subject matter was very much a return to the style of "Well Respected Man". "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" was inspired by anger. Ray was never a particularly sociable person, and he was not the kind to do the rounds of all the fashionable clubs like the other pop stars, including his brother, would. But he did feel a need to make some kind of effort and would occasionally host parties at his home for members of the fashionable set. But Davies didn't keep up with fashion the way they did, and some of them would mock him for the way he dressed. At one such party he got into a fistfight with someone who was making fun of his slightly flared trousers, kicked all the guests out, and then went to a typewriter and banged out a lyric mocking the guest and everyone like him: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Dedicated Follower of Fashion"] The song wasn't popular with Ray's bandmates -- Dave thought it was too soft and wimpy, while Quaife got annoyed at the time Ray spent in the studio trying to make the opening guitar part sound a bit like a ukulele. But they couldn't argue with the results -- it went to number five on the charts, their biggest success since "Tired of Waiting for You" more than a year earlier, and more importantly in some ways it became part of the culture in a way their more recent singles hadn't. "Til The End of the Day" had made the top ten, but it wasn't a record that stuck in people's minds. But "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" was so popular that Ray soon got sick of people coming up to him in the street and singing "Oh yes he is!" at him. But then, Ray was getting sick of everything. In early 1966 he had a full-scale breakdown, brought on by the flu but really just down to pure exhaustion. Friends from this time say that Ray was an introverted control freak, always neurotic and trying to get control and success, but sabotaging it as soon as he attained it so that he didn't have to deal with the public. Just before a tour of Belgium, Rasa gave him an ultimatum -- either he sought medical help or she would leave him. He picked up their phone and slammed it into her face, blacking her eye -- the only time he was ever physically violent to her, she would later emphasise -- at which point it became imperative to get medical help for his mental condition. Ray stayed at home while the rest of the band went to Belgium -- they got in a substitute rhythm player, and Dave took the lead vocals -- though the tour didn't make them any new friends. Their co-manager Grenville Collins went along and with the tact and diplomacy for which the British upper classes are renowned the world over, would say things like “I understand every bloody word you're saying but I won't speak your filthy language. De Gaulle won't speak English, why should I speak French?” At home, Ray was doing worse and worse. When some pre-recorded footage of the Kinks singing "Dedicated Follower of Fashion" came on the TV, he unplugged it and stuck it in the oven. He said later "I was completely out of my mind. I went to sleep and I woke up a week later with a beard. I don't know what happened to me. I'd run into the West End with my money stuffed in my socks, I'd tried to punch my press agent, I was chased down Denmark Street by the police, hustled into a taxi by a psychiatrist and driven off somewhere. And I didn't know. I woke up and I said, ‘What's happening? When do we leave for Belgium?' And they said, ‘Ray it's all right. You had a collapse. Don't worry. You'll get better.'” He did get better, though for a long time he found himself unable to listen to any contemporary rock music other than Bob Dylan -- electric guitars made him think of the pop world that had made him ill -- and so he spent his time listening to classical and jazz records. He didn't want to be a pop star any more, and convinced himself he could quit the band if he went out on top by writing a number one single. And so he did: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Sunny Afternoon"] Or at least, I say it's a single he wrote, but it's here that I finally get to a point I've been dancing round since the beginning of the episode. The chorus line, "In the summertime", was Rasa's suggestion, and in one of the only two interviews I've ever come across with her, for Johnny Rogan's biography of Ray, she calls the song "the only one where I wrote some words". But there's evidence, including another interview with her I'll talk about in a bit, that suggests that's not quite the case. For years, I thought it was an interesting coincidence that Ray Davies' songwriting ability follows a curve that almost precisely matches that of his relationship with Rasa. At the start, he's clearly talented -- "You Really Got Me" is a great track -- but he's an unformed writer and most of his work is pretty poor stuff. Then he marries Rasa, and his writing starts to become more interesting. Rasa starts to regularly contribute in the studio, and he becomes one of the great songwriters of his generation. For a five-year period in the mid-to-late-sixties, the period when their marriage is at its strongest, Ray writes a string of classic songs that are the equal of any catalogue in popular music. Then around 1970 Rasa stops coming to the studio, and their marriage is under strain. The records become patchier -- still plenty of classic tracks, but a lot more misses. And then in 1973, she left him, and his songwriting fell off a cliff. If you look at a typical Ray Davies concert setlist from 2017, the last time he toured, he did twenty songs, of which two were from his new album, one was the Kinks' one-off hit "Come Dancing" from 1983, and every other song was from the period when he and Rasa were married. Now, for a long time I just thought that was interesting, but likely a coincidence. After all, most rock songwriters do their most important work in their twenties, divorces have a way of messing people's mental health up, musical fashions change… there are a myriad reasons why these things could be like that. But… the circumstantial evidence just kept piling up. Ray's paranoia about people stealing his ideas meant that he became a lot more paranoid and secretive in his songwriting process, and would often not tell his bandmates the titles of the songs, the lyrics, or the vocal melody, until after they'd recorded the backing tracks -- they would record the tracks knowing the chord changes and tempo, but not what the actual song was. Increasingly he would be dictating parts to Quaife and Nicky Hopkins in the studio from the piano, telling them exactly what to play. But while Pete Quaife thought that Ray was being dictatorial in the studio and resented it, he resented something else more. As late as 1999 he was complaining about, in his words, "the silly little bint from Bradford virtually running the damn studio", telling him what to do, and feeling unable to argue back even though he regarded her as "a jumped-up groupie". Dave, on the other hand, valued Rasa's musical intuition and felt that Ray was the same. And she was apparently actually more up-to-date with the music in the charts than any of the band -- while they were out on the road, she would stay at home and listen to the radio and make note of what was charting and why. All this started to seem like a lot of circumstantial evidence that Rasa was possibly far more involved in the creation of the music than she gets credit for -- and given that she was never credited for her vocal parts on any Kinks records, was it too unbelievable that she might have contributed to the songwriting without credit? But then I found the other interview with Rasa I'm aware of, a short sidebar piece I'll link in the liner notes, and I'm going to quote that here: "Rasa, however, would sometimes take a very active role during the writing of the songs, many of which were written in the family home, even on occasion adding to the lyrics. She suggested the words “In the summertime” to ‘Sunny Afternoon', it is claimed. She now says, “I would make suggestions for a backing melody, sing along while Ray was playing the song(s) on the piano; at times I would add a lyric line or word(s). It was rewarding for me and was a major part of our life.” That was enough for me to become convinced that Rasa was a proper collaborator with Ray. I laid all this out in a blog post, being very careful how I phrased what I thought -- that while Ray Davies was probably the principal author of the songs credited to him (and to be clear, that is definitely what I think -- there's a stylistic continuity throughout his work that makes it very clear that the same man did the bulk of the work on all of it), the songs were the work of a writing partnership. As I said in that post "But even if Rasa only contributed ten percent, that seems likely to me to have been the ten percent that pulled those songs up to greatness. Even if all she did was pull Ray back from his more excessive instincts, perhaps cause him to show a little more compassion in his more satirical works (and the thing that's most notable about his post-Rasa songwriting is how much less compassionate it is), suggest a melodic line should go up instead of down at the end of a verse, that kind of thing… the cumulative effect of those sorts of suggestions can be enormous." I was just laying out my opinion, not stating anything as a certainty, though I was morally sure that Rasa deserved at least that much credit. And then Rasa commented on the post, saying "Dear Andrew. Your article was so informative and certainly not mischaracterised. Thank you for the 'history' of my input working with Ray. As I said previously, that time was magical and joyous." I think that's as close a statement as we're likely to get that the Kinks' biggest hits were actually the result of the songwriting team of Davies and Davies, and not of Ray alone, since nobody seems interested at all in a woman who sang on -- and likely co-wrote -- some of the biggest hit records of the sixties. Rasa gets mentioned in two sentences in the band's Wikipedia page, and as far as I can tell has only been interviewed twice -- an extensive interview by Johnny Rogan for his biography of Ray, in which he sadly doesn't seem to have pressed her on her songwriting contributions, and the sidebar above. I will probably continue to refer to Ray writing songs in this and the next episode on the Kinks, because I don't know for sure who wrote what, and he is the one who is legally credited as the sole writer. But… just bear that in mind. And bear it in mind whenever I or anyone else talk about the wives and girlfriends of other rock stars, because I'm sure she's not the only one. "Sunny Afternoon" knocked "Paperback Writer" off the number one spot, but by the time it did, Pete Quaife was out of the band. He'd fallen out with the Davies brothers so badly that he'd insisted on travelling separately from them, and he'd been in a car crash that had hospitalised him for six weeks. They'd quickly hired a temporary replacement, John Dalton, who had previously played with The Mark Four, the group that had evolved into The Creation. They needed him to mime for a TV appearance pretty much straight away, so they asked him "can you play a descending D minor scale?" and when he said yes he was hired -- because the opening of "Sunny Afternoon" used a trick Ray was very fond of, of holding a chord in the guitars while the bass descends in a scale, only changing chord when the notes would clash too badly, and then changing to the closest possible chord: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Sunny Afternoon"] Around this time, the group also successfully renegotiated their contract with Pye Records, with the help of a new lawyer they had been advised to get in touch with -- Allen Klein. As well as helping renegotiate their contracts, Klein also passed on a demo of one of Ray's new songs to Herman's Hermits. “Dandy” was going to be on the Kinks' next album, but the Hermits released it as a single in the US and took it into the top ten: [Excerpt: Herman's Hermits, “Dandy”] In September, Pete Quaife formally quit the band -- he hadn't played with them in months after his accident -- and the next month the album Face To Face, recorded while Quaife was still in the group, was released. Face to Face was the group's first really solid album, and much of the album was in the same vein as "Sunny Afternoon" -- satirical songs that turned on the songwriter as much as on the people they were ostensibly about. It didn't do as well as the previous albums, but did still make the top twenty on the album chart. The group continued work, recording a new single, "Dead End Street", a song which is musically very similar to "Sunny Afternoon", but is lyrically astonishingly bleak, dealing with poverty and depression rather than more normal topics for a pop song. The group produced a promotional film for it, but the film was banned by the BBC as being in bad taste, as it showed the group as undertakers. But the single happened to be released two days after the broadcast of "Cathy Come Home", the seminal drama about homelessness, which suddenly brought homelessness onto the political agenda. While "Dead End Street" wasn't technically about homelessness, it was close enough that when the TV programme Panorama did a piece on the subject, they used "Dead End Street" to soundtrack it. The song made the top five, an astonishing achievement for something so dark: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Dead End Street"] But the track also showed the next possible breach in the Kinks' hitmaking team -- when it was originally recorded, Shel Talmy had produced it, and had a French horn playing, but after he left the session, the band brought in a trombone player to replace the French horn, and rerecorded it without him. They would continue working with him for a little while, recording some of the tracks for their next album, but by the time the next single came out, Talmy would be out of the picture for good. But Pete Quaife, on the other hand, was nowhere near as out of the group as he had seemed. While he'd quit the band in September, Ray persuaded him to rejoin the band four days before "Dead End Street" came out, and John Dalton was back to working in his day job as a builder, though we'll be hearing more from him. The group put out a single in Europe, "Mr. Pleasant", a return to the style of "Well Respected Man" and "Dedicated Follower of Fashion": [Excerpt: The Kinks, “Mr. Pleasant”] That was a big hit in the Netherlands, but it wasn't released in the UK. They were working on something rather different. Ray had had the idea of writing a song called "Liverpool Sunset", about Liverpool, and about the decline of the Merseybeat bands who had been at the top of the profession when the Kinks had been starting out. But then the Beatles had released "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane", and Ray hadn't wanted to release anything about Liverpool's geography and look like he had stolen from them, given his attitudes to plagiarism. He said later "I sensed that the Beatles weren't going to be around long. When they moved to London, and ended up in Knightsbridge or wherever, I was still in Muswell Hill. I was loyal to my origins. Maybe I felt when they left it was all over for Merseybeat.” So instead, he -- or he and Rasa -- came up with a song about London, and about loneliness, and about a couple, Terry and Julie -- Terry was named after his nephew Terry who lived in Australia, while Julie's name came from Julie Christie, as she was then starring in a film with a Terry, Terrence Stamp: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Waterloo Sunset"] It's interesting to look at the musical inspirations for the song. Many people at the time pointed out the song's similarity to "Winchester Cathedral" by the New Vaudeville Band, which had come out six months earlier with a similar melody and was also named after a place: [Excerpt: The New Vaudeville Band, "Winchester Cathedral"] And indeed Spike Milligan had parodied that song and replaced the lyrics with something more London-centric: [Excerpt: Spike Milligan, "Tower Bridge"] But it seems likely that Ray had taken inspiration from an older piece of music. We've talked before about Ferd Grofe in several episodes -- he was the one who orchestrated the original version of "Rhapsody in Blue", who wrote the piece of music that inspired Don Everly to write "Cathy's Clown", and who wrote the first music for the Novachord, the prototype synthesiser from the 1930s. As we saw earlier, Ray was listening to a lot of classical and jazz music rather than rock at this point, and one has to wonder if, at some point during his illness the previous year, he had come across Metropolis: A Blue Fantasy, which Grofe had written for Paul Whiteman's band in 1928, very much in the style of "Rhapsody in Blue", and this section, eight and a half minutes in, in particular: [Excerpt: Paul Whiteman, "Metropolis: A Blue Fantasy" ] "Waterloo Sunset" took three weeks to record. They started out, as usual, with a backing track recorded without the rest of the group knowing anything about the song they were recording -- though the group members did contribute some ideas to the arrangement, which was unusual by this point. Pete Quaife contributed to the bass part, while Dave Davies suggested the slapback echo on the guitar: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Waterloo Sunset, Instrumental Take 2"] Only weeks later did they add the vocals. Ray had an ear infection, so rather than use headphones he sang to a playback through a speaker, which meant he had to sing more gently, giving the vocal a different tone from his normal singing style: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Waterloo Sunset"] And in one of the few contributions Rasa made that has been generally acknowledged, she came up with the "Sha la la" vocals in the middle eight: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Waterloo Sunset"] And the idea of having the track fade out on cascading, round-like vocals: [Excerpt: The Kinks, "Waterloo Sunset"] Once again the Kinks were at a turning point. A few weeks after "Waterloo Sunset" came out, the Monterey Pop Festival finally broke the Who in America -- a festival the Kinks were invited to play, but had to turn down because of their visa problems. It felt like the group were being passed by -- Ray has talked about how "Waterloo Sunset" would have been another good point for him to quit the group as he kept threatening to, or at least to stay home and just make the records, like Brian Wilson, while letting the band tour with Dave on lead vocals. He decided against it, though, as he would for decades to come. That attitude, of simultaneously wanting to be part of something and be a distanced, dispassionate observer of it, is what made "Waterloo Sunset" so special. As Ray has said, in words that seem almost to invoke the story of Moses: "it's a culmination of all my desires and hopes – it's a song about people going to a better world, but somehow I stayed where I was and became the observer in the song rather than the person who is proactive . . . I did not cross the river. They did and had a good life apparently." Ray stayed with the group, and we'll be picking up on what he and they did next in about a year's time. "Waterloo Sunset" went to number two on the charts, and has since become the most beloved song in the Kinks' whole catalogue. It's been called "the most beautiful song in the English language", and "the most beautiful song of the rock 'n' roll era", though Ray Davies, ever self-critical when he's not being self-aggrandising, thinks it could be improved upon. But most of the rest of us disagree. As the song itself says, "Waterloo Sunset's fine".

Jennie's Address today is called "February Dragon" a reference to Colin Thiele's 1965 novel. Jennie reminds us that the fire season now extends from November to April. Jennie's focus today is on political inertia following the unprecedented fire storms of  2019 to 2021 and the challenges faced by fire fighters. She recalls the political responses made at the peak of these bushfires: by our Prime Minister - "I'm focused on the needs of the people in this room today"  - and by an Eastern State's Minister - that "this is not the time for a conversation by people who want to politicise climate change." As both State and Federal elections draw nigh, Jennie asks - "When is the time?" In Adelaide - we've enjoyed a comparatively cool and comfortable summer. A war is now raging in the Ukraine. Large areas of the eastern states are flooded, inducing a temporary amnesia, washing away memories of Thiele's February Dragon. Floods and fires are both caused by global warming and climate change. Elections are approaching and many pollies are still mute on the subject. Voters, distracted by war - are left with stone-walling, political inertia and inaction by our leaders. Isn't now the time?!

Herzlich willkommen zur ersten Nachtwache von Chip & Charge hier auf meinsportpodcast.de. In den nächsten Tagen bekommt ihr gegen 7 Uhr morgens einen Überblick über das, was in der Nacht in Melbourne bei den Australian Open gelaufen ist. Dann könnt ihr beruhigt schlafen. Tag 1 stand noch unter dem Eindruck der Entscheidung des Bundesgerichts in Australien, dass Novak Djokovic das Land verlassen musste. Um 22:30 Uhr Ortszeit am Sonntag war die Maschine EK409 der Emirates Airlines abgehoben, zum Start der Matches in Melbourne war das Flugzeug etwa eine Stunde von Dubai entfernt. Wir werden in den nächsten Tagen, Wochen und Monaten noch eine ganze Menge zu diesem Fall hören und sehen. Doch endlich, endlich wurde Tennis gespielt. Auf der Rod Laver Arena eröffnete Tatjana Maria das Geschehen aus deutscher Sicht. Sie ist nach der Geburt ihres zweiten Kindes erst Ende letzten Jahres auf die Tour zurückgekehrt. Ihre Erstrundengegnerin war Maria Sakkari, die hier in Melbourne an 5 gesetzt ist. Sakkari hat ein famoses Jahr 2021 hinter sich, ist in diesem Jahr aber eher unauffällig ins Jahr gestartet. In Adelaide hatte sie in der 2. Runde gegen Shelby Rogers verloren. Tatjana Maria zeigte ein sehr couragiertes Spiel, im 2. Satz hatte sie durchaus Chancen, das Match zu verlängern, verlor aber letztlich mit 4-6 und 6-7. Nach dem Match in der Pressekonferenz war es Maria aber wichtig, auf einen anderen Umstand hinzuweisen. Sie ist nach der Geburt ihres zweiten Kindes relativ schnell wieder auf die Tour zurückgekehrt. Da es aber momentan noch keine Regelung für Mütter gibt, wie und wann sie auf die Tour zurückkehren und ihr Protected Ranking in Anspruch nehmen können, werden sie verletzten Spielerinnen gleichgestellt. Das mag Tatjana Maria nicht hinnehmen, wie sie in der PK mitteilte

The Engine Room Guest: Laurie Kennedy, has been mentioned in many of my previous interviews due to him having been an in-demand drum teacher and player in South Australia for 40 years. His playing career began in NSW when families gathered together and listened to music shows, drama serials, light entertainment and quiz programs on the radio, Rock 'n' roll was popular in dance halls, and Jazz and Coffee Lounges were The Scene! He has worked with the 'who's who' of the entertainment industry, working in Television, Radio, Musical Theatre, Cabaret, Jazz, Rock, and Orchestral. He has had a truly remarkable musical journey and it was an honour to have him share his story with me. If you enjoy historical stories about the Australian Music Industry, then this episode is definitely for you! The first professional band that he joined was the 'Warren LeRoy Trio', playing at the El Rocco followed by the 'Macambo Quartet' who were very popular at the Macambo Coffee Lounge, where they had a stint of around 4 years during the early 1960s. Late in 1965 he joined his one and only Pop Group called The Grape Escape with Brian Godden, Chris Bonett, and singer/songwriter Norma Stoneman. The Grape Escape signed to RCA Records and released a couple of singles with ''The Easy Life'' (Feb 25th 1967) being the most successful, he returned to NSW when the band called it a day. Laurie worked as a studio drummer at TCN-9 on the Desmond Tester Children's Television show the 'Channel 9- Pins', prior to moving to Adelaide in 1968. In Adelaide he played with the Borodin Quartet at the Paprika Nightclub for 5 years, the band worked 6 nights a week, 7 hours a night! His first teaching job was at Pulteney Grammar School, followed by Blackfriars Priory School, and St Peter's College. In addition, Laurie was an in-demand lecturer in drum, percussion, and rhythm at the Elder Conservatorium, University of Adelaide for 32 years, and lecturer at Noarlunga TAFE for 10 years. He wrote ‘A Guide to Exploring Rhythm - All Instruments and Voice', among other teaching materials. Laurie lived, played and taught in Adelaide for half his lifetime, returning to live in NSW to be closer to his sons when he retired.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit der ersten regulären Sendung nach den Australian Open. Andreas und Philipp beginnen mit den WTA und ATP Turnieren der letzten Woche. In Adelaide konnte Iga Swiatek ihren guten Start ins Jahr mit einem ungefährdeten Titel bestätigen. Sie ließ keiner Gegnerin auch nicht Belinda Bencic im Finale die Chance, auch nur einen Satz zu gewinnen. Stattdessen stürmte sie durch die Woche. Weniger gut lief es für Ash Barty, die schon ihr erstes Match gegen Danielle Collins nicht gewinnen konnte. Währenddessen avancierte Coco Gauff mal wieder zur Königin der dritten Sätze. Popyrins Premierensieg Bei den Herren fanden gleich drei Turniere statt. In Montpellier gewann David Goffin seinen ersten Titel seit Jahren. Er setzte sich im Finale gegen Roberto Bautista Agut durch, der im Halbfinale siegreich gegen Peter Gojowczyk gewesen war. In Singapur konnte Alexei Popyrin ein Debüt feiern. Denn zum ersten Mal konnte der junge Australier einen Titel auf der ATP Tour gewinnen. Er setzte sich im Endspiel gegen Alexandr Bublik durch. Das Turnier in Cordoba entwickelte sich zu so was wie den argentinischen Meisterschaften. Nur der Spanier Albert Ramos Vinolas schaffte es ins Halbfinale. Nicht in die Runde der letzten 4 schaffte es hingegen Diego Schwartzman. Dem bleibt nach wie vor das Siegerglück in seinem Heimatland versagt. Verletzungsabsagen und News der Woche Zum Abschluss der Sendung blicken Andreas und Philipp noch auf die News der letzten Woche. So gab es zahlreiche Verletzungen und verletzungsbedingte Absagen zu vermelden. Rafael Nadal wird nicht in Rotterdam dabei sei, Simona Halep, Ash Barty und Bianca Andreescu nicht in Doha. Für das Turnier in Miami, der nominelle Höhepunkt des Monats März, ist eine stark angepasste Preisgeldstruktur bekanntgegeben worden. Lleyton Hewitt wird in diesem Jahr die Ehre zuteil in die Hall of Fame aufgenommen zu werden, genau wie den Original 9. Zum Abschluss gibt es noch ein Comeback zu vermelden.

click here to see the chart https://ieltswritingpodcast.libsyn.com/80-coffee-and-tea-buying-and-drinking-habits-in-five-cities-in-australia The bar graph displays the data collected in a survey about the coffee and tea buying and drinking habits of residents in five cities in Australia in the last four weeks.   Overall, in all the cities except Adelaide, more people went to a cafe for coffee or tea than bought instant or fresh coffee. In Adelaide, going to a cafe and buying instant coffee were almost equally popular.   Most residents in Melbourne, Hobart, Sydney and Brisbane visited a cafe for coffee or tea, at approximately 64, 63, 62 and 55 percent respectively, whereas just under half of residents in Adelaide did so. These 5 cities also had roughly half of residents purchasing instant coffee, and the figures in Hobart and Brisbane were almost 55 percent.   In comparison, the proportion of people who bought fresh coffee was never as high as 45% in any of the five cities, with those in Brisbane and Adelaide, both at nearly 35 percent, less likely than those in the other 3 cities to do so.

New figures out today on vacancy rates and they show that the national average is a further drop in vacancies. Vacancies in very low in most locations across Australia and the monthly report from SQM Research shows they’re still falling – in most places. The national vacancy rate for residential rental property from 2.1 per cent to 2 per cent during August. Melbourne is only capital city where vacancies have risen, especially in in the CBD. City-wide, the vacancy rate rose from 3.1 per cent to 3.4 per cent, with its CBD recording its highest ever vacancy rate of 10 per cent, up from 8.8 per cent in July. But it continues to be better news for property owners in other capital city CBD's – not so good if you’re a tenant. Adelaide, Canberra and Hobart all have vacancy rates below 1%, which means there’s very little available for rent, while Perth and Darwin are both 1.1%. Brisbane is around 2%. Sydney has dropped to 3.5% but there are significant sections of the greater Sydney area where vacancy rates are well below 2%. And I know from my day to day research that there are many locations across Regional Australia where vacancies are under 1%. Some regional centres have the tightest rental markets ever recorded. And all of this means there’s upward pressure on rents. *** Competition over rentals in some of Australia’s regional towns is so fierce that some tenants are offering to pay three months’ rent in advance to secure a property. Others are applying for rentals before they have even had a chance to look through them in person. Eleven regional areas across NSW, Victoria and Queensland recorded rental vacancy rates of less than 1 per cent in July, SQM Research data showed, as people left the capital cities for less populated areas during the pandemic. The region with the tightest rental market is in Far North Queensland, where residents face intense competition securing a rental. In Townsville, the vacancy rate was just 0.5 per cent in July. Northern Queensland, which includes Charters Towers, Mount Isa and Flinders, was a close second with a vacancy rate of just 0.6 per cent.    There are also very tight rental markets in the Riverina in NSW, which includes Wagga Wagga and Griffith. The vacancy rate in that region was just 0.7 per cent. It was also 0.7 per cent in the Northern Victoria region – think Bendigo, Shepparton and Wodonga – as well as the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.  *** Now, because rents are so strong in so many places, it’s now considered cheaper to buy than to rent – almost everywhere in Australia. New research indicates that Australians in all capital cities, bar Sydney and Melbourne, would be better off buying a home than renting it. That’s means it’s actually cheaper to buy than to rent in most places around Australia at the moment. RiskWise CEO Doron Peleg says: “When it comes to houses, in many cases it is cheaper to buy than rent.” RiskWise research found that interest-only repayments for both owner-occupiers and investors are lower than the annual rental cost in most areas. What’s more, in all states and territories except for Sydney and Melbourne, even the principal and interest repayments are lower than the annual rent – that’s assuming that you have a 20% deposit. In Adelaide, for example, annual rent on the median priced house is around $20,500. That’s nearly $10,000 more than it costs to pay the interest-only repayments, and $1,567 more than it costs to service payments on a principal and interest loan. It’s the same in Perth, Hobart, Darwin, Canberra and Brisbane, where annual rent is thousands more expensive than servicing principal and interest repayments on a mortgage. *** The Commonwealth Bank has revised its national property price forecast – with a more optimistic outlook, in what’s been described as a show of confidence for Australia’s property market. The Commonwealth Bank now expects smaller price falls that it previously predicted, updating its national dwelling price to drop 6% from the April peak to a predicted trough in the first quarter of 2021. So it’s suggesting that the national average situation – because economists always generalise and speak of Australia as a single market – will be a decrease of 6% between April 2020 and the beginning of 2021. That’s a six percentage point improvement on its initial scenario – made back in April – of a 12 per cent fall in national property prices from peak to trough. Now there’s a couple of things about that. One is the way they generalise and make a prediction about “Australian property prices” as if the same scenario is going to happen right across this huge nation – which, I can tell you, never ever happens. The second is that they have changed their forecast just a few months after making it. Economists, particularly bank economists, do this all the time. They make a forecast about interest rates or GDP or unemployment or property prices – and then a few months they issue a new, different forecast – thereby rendering the earlier forecast redundant and a waste of time. CBA’s head of Australian economics Gareth Aird says most state and territories’ property markets are performing better than expected. Well, they’re not performing better than I expected, only better than the bank’s economists expected. Aird says: “The reality is prices haven’t been falling as much as we thought they would. In fact, they’ve held up very, very well in some parts of the countries. “Outside of Melbourne, most economies are open now. The evidence suggests that we won’t see falls of 10 or 12 per cent.” Yes, in fact, in many parts of Australia, prices haven’t fallen at all. They have continued to rise. In August, house prices fell in only two of the eight capital cities, according to CoreLogic data – and rose also in many of the regional markets as well. And, yet again, Aird has explained the better than expected price performance by talking about the level of interest rates. The only thing economists know, or think they know, about residential real estate is they think it’s all about interest rates. Let me tell you – Gareth Aird, head of economics at CBA, is a pretender when it comes to residential property. He clearly understands nothing. In any case, for what it’s worth, CBA expects Canberra property prices to actually rise 2 per cent from April 2020 to the first quarter of 2021, while Hobart is forecast to rise half a per cent in the same period and Adelaide prices will remain flat. So while it says Australian property prices will fall 6 percent, it then reveals it’s forecasting that they won’t fall at all in three of our capital cities. The only places to record significant falls, in fact, will be Sydney and Melbourne and that will drag down the national average. *** Now here’s another view on prices.   The chief executive of Australia's third largest credit union, People's Choice Credit Union, expects robust house price growth in regional areas close to capital cities as the work-from-home shift triggers permanent lifestyle changes.   Steve Laidlaw says demand for housing in regional centres in various states is rising and home lending activity in July and August was solid. Large country towns which are relatively close to big cities - are the types of regional centres to be in big demand as people reassess their work-from-home options.   People's Choice Credit Union, which increased its home loan book by 4 per cent to $7.4 billion in the 2020 financial year, has 36 branches across South Australia, Victoria, the Northern Territory and the ACT.   And it’s suggesting a lot of that growth is coming from city people buying in regional areas close to the capital cities. This provides further evidence of a trend that has been under way for a couple of years and has been exacerbated by the pandemic lockdown periods, which have opened the eyes of more people to the possibility of working from home. I call it the Exodus to Affordable Lifestyle and it’s the biggest national trend impacting on real estate. *** Home loans recorded the largest increase on record in July, the latest month for which we have official data from the ABS. About $19 billion was spent on new home loan commitments in July and the ABS reveals that this was a 9 per cent month-on-month increase - the largest ever in the ABS data series on home loans. The surge in home loan commitments excluded people refinancing existing mortgages and was bolstered by the strong presentation of first home buyers – which, as far I am concerned, is the most active cohort impacting property markets at the moment. Amanda Seneviratne, head of finance and wealth at the ABS, says the increase was caused by the easing COVID-19 restrictions, including open houses and auctions, in most parts of the country. She says: “July owner occupier home loan commitments rebounded with the largest month-on-month rise in the history of the series, as social distancing restrictions eased in most states and territories," she says. “New loan commitments for owner occupier housing rose in all states and territories, except the Australian Capital Territory.  “The largest increases were in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.” *** Now, according to CommSec's Ryan Felsman, home prices hit record highs in 11 regions across Australia. He says Aussie home prices eased – overall - in August but at a local level there were many locations where prices rose. Felsman says: Price weakness was most pronounced in the larger virus-affected Melbourne and Sydney housing markets. But he says there were solid price gains across the relatively virus free capital cities of Canberra and Darwin. Prices in Hobart, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane all remained stable. Regional home prices also held up, highlighting the increasing divergence between virus ‘hotspots’ and the rest of the country. In fact, home prices rose in 34 out of 88 SA4 regions in August with home prices lifting the most in the NSW Southern Highlands & Shoalhaven (up 1.2 per cent), South East Tasmania (up 1.1 per cent), Coffs-Harbour-Grafton (NSW), North West Victoria, Queensland’s Wide Bay and Darwin (all up 1 per cent). He says: “It certainly appears that ‘lifestyle’ regions could stand to benefit from a potential virus-induced exit of people from big cities - encouraged by changing working arrangements - allowing them to work from home.” Home prices hit all-time highs in 11 regions in August, including the ACT, Adelaide-South (SA), Brisbane-East (QLD), Brisbane – North (QLD), Moreton Bay – North (QLD), Capital Region (NSW), Central West (NSW), Coffs-Harbour Grafton (NSW), Richmond-Tweed (NSW), Gold Coast (QLD) and South East Tasmania. *** Here's another view on prices. Australian house prices have outperformed wages over the past financial year, new analysis shows. In every capital city but two, house price growth was stronger in the year to June than wages growth, despite the pandemic. Sydney house prices finished the financial year 10.5 per cent higher than the previous year, Domain data shows. But wages for NSW workers inched up just 1.8 per cent over the same period, ABS figures show, leaving housing outperforming wages by 8.7 percentage points. Melbourne house prices were 6.9 per cent higher in June than a year ago, but Victorian workers’ wages only grew 1.8 per cent, meaning housing again outpaced income by 5.1 percentage points. *** Aussies given a taste of working from home are so keen to keep their newfound flexibility that one in three would take a pay cut for the privilege. Research figures from payroll and HR software company Ascender reveal 37 per cent of Australian workers would happily sacrifice a portion of their income to avoid going back to their workplace after the coronavirus pandemic – and another 30 per cent would consider it. The idea is most popular among respondents aged 25 to 34 (45 per cent) and least popular among those aged 65 and older (25 per cent). Ascender general manager Richard Breden says the research shows how much value employees place on flexibility and that some workers may ask to work from home as an alternative to a pay rise this year. “I think many Australians are very aware of the challenges businesses face and the prospects of a pay rise in the near future are remote,” he says. *** Borrowers who have deferred bank loans for six months or longer will not have their credit ratings affected until at least March 2021 under new guidelines announced by the Australian Banking Association. The ABA announced it would extend the credit rating amnesty by a further six months, as the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic takes longer than expected. Customers granted loan deferrals on mortgages and other credit products in April were assured that banks would not report missed payments to credit agencies, provided they were up to date with payments when the relief was authorised.   Under the new guidelines, the amnesty is extended and customers who have fallen into arrears with repayments can escape a credit rating penalty if they restructure their loan or apply for another hardship program. Customers who have made partial payments during the loan deferral period will also exit with an improved repayment history. This provides further evidence that economists who predicted a September Cliff with everything collapsing thereafter were, yet again, wide of the mark.   Many economists and other doomsday commentators claimed that the Federal Government and the major banks would switch off support at the end of September.   We now know that federal support programs like JosKeeper and JobSeeker will extend beyond this month and now the banks have revealed they will continue to support customers who are struggling in the pandemic conditions.   Just another example of how the attention-seeking economists got it so very wrong with their forecasts.   Bye for now.

We are guided in our discussions by Amanda McInerney, the food blogger behind the Lambs' Ears and Honey blog. That conversation finally draws our South Australian Care Package discussion to a close. In Adelaide's Yesterdays, Colin hand manipulates an irate letter to the editor from The Advertiser in 1951, which attempts to put us in our place and tells us off for being more bustling than London! Ben Pike from Melbourne Street Fine Wine Cellars delivers us a red wine that is rather stately and refined, from Lobethal Road. Brett blows our minds and eardrums with a song that sounds bigger than it is. And in the Adelaide Visa Council, Adelaide Councillor, Anne Moran is the centre of attention.

There is a new brewing enterprise in town and the Boring Adelaide crew was invited to record live from the launch at the Wheatsheaf Hotel. Big Shed Brewing has taken a number of pubs by storm and Jason Harris talks us through the beer and the vision while enjoying the title of South Australian Drink Of The Week. And after a month of deliberation, we finally whittle down the shortlist for the Official South Australian Care Package. In Adelaide's Yesterdays, Colin shines his Pearl, the Adelaide Visa Council rejects a visa based on some piercing comments about our town from a body modifier, and the Villenettes get nasty in style. PLUS it is time for another Baristador Coffee group roasting (that's our sponsor and Steve's brand). Hear the new Baristador jingle in this week's episode - written and produced by our own Brett Monten. And the 'brang' reference? You'll have to listen in to hear who dropped that clanger!

Welcome to episode 59 of Love That Album. Joining me at LTA Headquarters is show regular, Michael Pursche (of Sitting In A Bar In Adelaide podcast). We discuss a couple of fine Australian pop albums from the eighties. Firstly, we talk about a surprisingly neglected album of a major artist – Ross ‘The Boss’ Wilson’s “Dark Side of the Man” from 1989. We follow up with The Saints’ 1986 album “All Saints Day” – a long way from their “I’m Stranded” debut. Both albums are from artists who’d been on the music scene for a while and had changed direction. Echoes of LTA episode 58’s discussion on Bruce Springsteen’s album High Hopes hang over both these records. Tune into the show and discover why. As usual, Eric Reanimator contributes another wonderful Album I Love segment, discussing The Damned’s “Black Album” from 1980. Like The Saints, they were a punk band looking for different directions to travel. …and we got some real honest to goodness feedback…..YAY!!!!!

When I'm ridin' round the world And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that And I'm tryin' to make some girl Who tells me baby better come back Some haunting lyrics from the Rolling Stones' (Can't Get No) Satisfaction, set the scene for this week in Adelaide. Mick Jagger had terrible news about the death of his girlfriend, postponing the much-touted launch concert at the Adelaide Oval, meanwhile we all scratched our heads after the election having realised we're set for a hung parliament at a crucial time in South Australia's history. In Adelaide's Yesterdays, Colin takes us on a tram ride through yesteryear, while Steve and his daughter have fun meeting strangers on the train to Belair. There's also another ripper South Australian wine thanks to Sue from Vintage Cellars in Darwin, music from The Timbers - the track reputedly used on board the Sea Shepherd to rally the troops - and an Adelaide link to Cyclone Tracy and wheelbarrow production!
