Henry talks with Stuart Lloyd about his new book Started Out Just Drinking Beer: the Mental As Anything Story.

Enjoy the untold stories behind Aussie classics like: Live It Up, Too Many Times, If You Leave Me Can I Come Too?, Berserk Warriors, Egypt, The Nips are Getting Bigger, and a whole lot more. Plus tales from the road as told by Greedy, Martin, Bird, Pete & Reg — and a star-studded cast including Colin Hay, Richard Gottehrer, Mark Opitz, Jeremy Fabinyi and Wreckless Eric — in this access-all-areas official biography.  ‘Love it!!! Brought up lots of memories. Thoroughly enjoyable.' – Kirk Pengilly, INXS. ‘This book gives us a big gulp of one of Australia's most uniquely talented and popular bands.' – Anthony (Tony) Field, The Cockroaches, The Wiggles. ‘Stuart Lloyd captures the alchemy that saw Australian bands flourish from the arid plains of our suburban lives. I loved the Mentals and I love this book.' – Dave Warner, author, Countdown: The Wonder Years, and 25 Years of Mushroom Records. ‘Takes us behind the showbiz curtain. A deep-dive beyond the colourful personalities and the larrikin-esque cheerfulness of a uniquely Australian band who have been the soundtrack of our lives for decades. Had me glued to each page.' – Jane Gazzo, music journalist and broadcaster. ‘An extraordinary and horrific portrait of five butchers who were country-killed specialists, shot through with black humour and near-naked burlesque attire.' – H. G. Nelson, comedian and broadcaster. This conversation was broadcast on 97.7FM Casey Radio in November 2023. Produced by Rob Kelly.

The boys visit Mr Miyagi in an effort to keep the what's in John's head in his head. A blast from the past dredges up painful memories.” (thanks Marky See!)“Welcome to your training getaway, teal outfits are mandatory unless you brought a leather body suit. Soak up some heat, or battle in a seat either way you must complete this rather intense retreat. ” (thanks Mark Nixon!)“D'Argo enjoys a tense session of Tai Chi with his mortal enemy, meanwhile, John Crichton gets put in the naughty box” (thanks Mysterytour!)“It's a boys trip as the guys go for some mental training with a Jedi Master named Katoya. Scorpius plays a game of paint ball (remove the T) against the Jedi Master and Rygel goes up against a Charrid, who's race have an ugly history with Hynerians. Crichton gets thrown from the frying pan into the fire, literally and needs to find the key to escape. An unexpected visitor from D'Argo's past appears and he gets real hyper about it.” (thanks Nickrude from Katratzi aka Canada!)First aired on Monday, 20 January 2003, written by Mark Saraceni, and directed by Geoff BennettWe're on Twitter, Facebook, and SoFarscape.com.

Jack, jack, jack….wait? What? Who is this Jack?It's 1987, and the future has arrived in the shape of the first No1 of the year courtesy of Steve ‘Silk' Hurley - House Music is here!Hold up, wait a minute!As the ninth edition of the famous Now, That's What I Call Music testified from within it's (so 80s!) Ring binder cover, the charts were much more varied. Whilst dance music was loading up its record box and turning up the BPMs for the coming 12 months, the 30 top chart hits across the four sides of the latest compilation was telling a whole different story. Those big jeans adverts (or was that River Phoenix?) were bringing a spritely 48 (!) Year old Ben E. King back to the top, Jackie Wilson was r-r-r-r-esplendent in plasticine all over again and even Freddie Mercury was camping up The Platters smash from 1956 with The Great Pretender. What decade are we in again?Fear not, as 1987 was definitely serving up its fair share of blistering singles from the likes of Robbie Nevil, The Blow Monkeys, a-Ha, Westworld and many others! Bright new things like Erasure, Curiosity Killed The Cat and Simply Red were rubbing shoulders with more experienced chart names like The Pretenders and Genesis whilst a swingorilliasnt smattering of one-off acts like Mental As Anything and Taffy were providing some shiny, memorable pop memories.And Hot Chocolate were back, Back, BACK and testing our knowledge of which Greatest Hits they were promoting this time (clue - not the Malteser one).So much to unpick, and who better to do it with than pop fan and Needle Mythology records' Will Harris. Find out how Will passed his Elvis impersonator test (and which song he chose), how he championed the store racks (and West London's soul boys) of the 80s Our Price stores, and how the Finn Brother's dad provided some much loved appreciation for his sons' demo tracks.And discover Will's big 1987 favourites from NOW9 and what was missing (spoiler - they were all on HITS6!)Let's fly high (like a rocket in the sky) back to a pop year like no other, and get ready for some great (BIG HAIR) memories!Altogether now, woooahh, we're half way there....

The Hoodoo Gurus are one of Australia's favourites coming out of the pub scene. It was such a fertile era, bands like Midnight Oil, Cold Chisel, Mental As Anything and The Angels ruled the 'sticky floors' of Australia. In their 40th (well.. 41st) year, the Gurus have released their new album "Chariot of the Gods" coming with some wicked tracks - their farewell to Donald Trump "Hung Out to Dry" was one of the most notable. I got to visit them in the studio while recording in Surry Hills and in the podcast you'll hear about some of the history of that studio. Also the limitations, when recording during covid. Dave opens up on the music that influenced him, when growing up and what is on the Gurus' Rider after all these years. Their tour may be postponed at this stage, but we can't wait to see the Hoodoo Gurus back on the road with the Dandy Warhols celebrating 40 years. This is Dave Faulkner, on The Rider with Becko

It's 2021! But not for your intrepid We Dig Music crew. We've stolen Doc Emmet Brown's DMC DeLorean and gone back to 1985 where we've been riding around in Sinclair C5's, wearing ridiculous baggy suits, and watching Live Aid on telly. We've also been talking about songs that sound like Adam Ant at the wrong speed, Guitars that sound like pointy spiders, & Electro classics performed in sadly missed Birmingham toy shops. We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Ian's wife Lydia, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them to Colin's wife Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order. Helen also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine. Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year. Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - A-Ha!, Anthrax, Beat Happening, Kate Bush, Celtic Frost, Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, The Cult, The Cure, The Dream Academy, Everything But The Girl, Foreigner, Gene Loves Jezebel, Paul Hardcastle, Hüsker Dü, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Howard Jones, Killing Joke, Kino, Cyndi Lauper, Mental As Anything, Prefab Sprout, Prince, R.E.M., Saint Vitus, Skinny Puppy, The Smiths, S.O.D., Sonic Youth, Suzanne Vega & Tom Waits Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7Mr106Uvvpqzt0p3nbBcvU?si=ztbbIDHNT4-yfL1l5Luskw The playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows - 1st place - 20 points 2nd place - 18 points 3rd place – 16 points 4th place – 14 points 5th place – 12 points 6th place – 9 points 7th place – 7 points 8th place – 5 points 9th place – 3 points 10th place -1 point Hosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey B Guest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.

We interviewed Stephen Coburn at his amazing studio in the artistic community, Headland Artists, at Georges Heights, Mosman. We had a long chat with Stephen about his father, the artist, John Coburn, his days at the National Art School where he met Reg Mombassa and formed the band, Mental As Anything. We heard some great stories about the bans and his time at art school. Stephen is making sculptures for an upcoming sculpture trail at the beautiful Akuna Bay starting November 15th,  in conjunction with Sydney Road Gallery and D'Albora Marinas. Be sure to check it out, designed for everyone to interact with and touch! Great for a family day out. Stephen is also a leading conservator and we talked to him about his craft and some interesting information about painting conservation. We also asked him about a past project he was involved with called, Utes in the Paddock, where artists and the community in Ootha, Central NSW was called upon to turn old utes into artworks.

Carlos Camacho Psychologist talking with Deb Lennon about the psychology and philosophy of LOVE Over Christmas pt. 4. Music: Live It Up by Mental As Anything.

We hope that everyone is well and enjoying the start of the holidays season. This week we have the answer to the mystery of why the Sun is so hot and the dispersal of magnetic waves during solar flares. That’s right, one of those little mysteries that has been confounding scientists for years appears to have been solved with evidence supporting the rejection of the null hypothesis. Ooops, sorry, in other words research that explains why it appears to happen has been developed. So if you would like to know more about why that is then please listen in and enjoy this discussion that does wander off topic occasionally but in a fun way.Next we look at the effect piracy is having on Marvels profit margin (which as a Disney corporate entity we must acknowledge are very slim margins). We discuss this and consider the alternatives such as going digital like XCT and some of the other projects from our friend Shaun at Comics2movies have begun to do. Buck wanders down memory lane reminiscing about when he was a boy (OK Boomer does not apply here as Buck isn’t that old). Can you believe that comic books used to only cost 15 cents? These days it is $10 and has less of a story in some cases, although XCT is cool if you want a great read.Last topic is Valve news and what is happening with them. For example did you know that they are in the process of ending their controllers? Also did you know that they have recently had a sale on these controllers? Professor did and has bought one, even though they weren’t on sale here? Also Half-Life Alyx the VR experience game is looking downright awesome, if the promo video is anything to go by this is a game to get into.As usual we have the regular shout outs, remembrances, birthdays and events for the week. Until next time remember to look out for each other, take care of yourselves and stay hydrated.Mystery of the magnetic waves - https://www.technology.org/2019/12/02/scientists-crack-60-year-old-mystery-of-suns-magnetic-waves/Comic Piracy - https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-50564713Valve News- Steam Controller sale - https://www.theverge.com/good-deals/2019/11/26/20984123/valve-steam-controller-discontinued-sale-price- Valve Index - https://www.roadtovr.com/valve-index-sold-out-stock-half-life-alyx/- Half-Life: Alyx announcement - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2W0N3uKXmoGame currently playingBuck– Raid: Shadow Legends - https://raidshadowlegends.com/pc-mac-plarium-play/Rating – 3.5/5Professor– Counterstrike Global Offensive - https://store.steampowered.com/app/730/CounterStrike_Global_Offensive/Rating – 3/5DJ– UNDEFEATED - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1116960/UNDEFEATED/Rating – 3/5Other topics discussedLaser (a device that emits light through a process ofoptical amplification based on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaserCorona (Corona Extra is a pale lager produced by Cervecería Modelo in Chicago for domestic distribution and export to all other countries besides the United States, and by Constellation Brands in Canada for export to the United States.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_(beer)Corona (an aura of plasma that surrounds the Sun and other stars.

The mission includes a main spacecraft, small rovers, a lander, and an impactor that will be launched into the asteroid’s surface to create an artificial crater.

Zeiss gathered a group of gifted practical and theoretical opticians and glass makers to reshape most aspects of optical instrument production. His collaboration with Ernst Abbe revolutionized optical theory and practical design of microscopes. Their quest to extend these advances brought Otto Schott into the enterprises to revolutionize optical glass manufacture. The firm of Carl Zeiss grew to one of the largest and most respected optical firms in the world. He died from a stroke at the age of 72 in Jena - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Zeiss3 Dec 1894 - Robert Louis Stevenson, Scottish novelist and travel writer, most noted for Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and A Child's Garden of Verses. A celebrity in his lifetime, Stevenson's critical reputation has fluctuated since his death, though today his works are held in general acclaim. He is currently ranked as the 26th most translated author in the world. He died from a hemorrhagic stroke at the age of 44 in Vailima, Apia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Louis_Stevenson3 Dec 1984 - Vladimir Abramovich Rokhlin, Azerbaijani and Soviet mathematician, who made numerous contributions in algebraic topology, geometry, measure theory, probability theory, ergodic theory and entropy theory. Rokhlin's contributions to topology include Rokhlin's theorem, a result of 1952 on the signature of 4-manifolds, which was subsequently generalised by Friedrich Hirzebruch. He also worked in the theory of characteristic classes, homotopy theory and cobordism theory. In measure theory, Rokhlin introduced what are now called Rokhlin partitions. He introduced the notion of standard probability space, and characterised such spaces up to isomorphism mod 0. He also proved the famous Rokhlin lemma. He died from a heart attack at the age of 62 in Leningrad - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Abramovich_RokhlinFamous Birthdays3 Dec 1857 - Joseph Conrad, Polish-British writer regarded as one of the greatest novelists to write in the English language. Though he did not speak English fluently until his twenties, he was a master prose stylist who brought a non-English sensibility into English literature. Conrad wrote stories and novels, many with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit during what he saw as an impassive, inscrutable universe. Conrad is considered an early modernist, though his works contain elements of 19th-century realism. His narrative style and anti-heroic characters have influenced numerous authors, and many films have been adapted from, or inspired by, his works. Numerous writers and critics have commented that Conrad's fictional works, written largely in the first two decades of the 20th century, seem to have anticipated later world events. Writing near the peak of the British Empire, Conrad drew, among other things, on his native Poland's national experiences and on his own experiences in the French and British merchant navies, to create short stories and novels that reflect aspects of a European-dominated world—including imperialism and colonialism—and that profoundly explore the human psyche. He was born in Berdychiv - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad3 Dec 1960 - Julianne Moore, American actress and children's author. Prolific in film since the early 1990s, she is particularly known for her portrayals of emotionally troubled women in both independent and Hollywood films, and has received many accolades, including an Academy Award and two Golden Globes. Time magazine named Moore one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2015. Moore received considerable recognition in the late 1990s and early 2000s, earning Oscar nominations for Boogie Nights, she played a 1970s pornographic actress. She also had success with the films The Big Lebowski, Hannibal, Children of Men and Crazy, Stupid, Love, and won an Emmy Award for her portrayal of Sarah Palin in the television film Game Change. Moore won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her playing an Alzheimer's patient in Still Alice and was named Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for Maps to the Stars. Her highest-grossing releases include the final two films of The Hunger Games series and the spy film Kingsman: The Golden Circle. She was born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julianne_Moore3 Dec 1960 - Daryl Hannah, American actress and environmental activist. She is known for her roles as Pris Stratton in Ridley Scott's science fiction thriller Blade Runner and as Cathy Featherstone in Randal Kleiser's romantic comedy Summer Lovers, as the mermaid Madison in Ron Howard's fantasy-romantic comedy Splash, Roxanne Kowalski in the romantic comedy Roxanne, Darien Taylor in Oliver Stone's drama Wall Street and Annelle Dupuy Desoto in the comedy-drama Steel Magnolias. In 2015 she appeared in the Netflix series Sense8 as Angelica Turing. In 2004, Hannah won a Saturn Award for her role as one-eyed assassin Elle Driver in Quentin Tarantino's two-part martial arts action film Kill Bill. She was born in Chicago, Illinois - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_HannahEvents of Interest3 Dec 1736 - Astronomer Anders Celsius takes measurements that confirm Newton's theory that the earth was an ellipsoid rather than the previously accepted sphere - https://www.onthisday.com/people/anders-celsius3 Dec 1967 - 53-year-old Louis Washkansky receives the first human heart transplant at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. Washkansky, a South African grocer dying from chronic heart disease, received the transplant from Denise Darvall, a 25-year-old woman who was fatally injured in a car accident. Surgeon Christiaan Barnard, who trained at the University of Cape Town and in the United States, performed the revolutionary medical operation. Even though he died 18 days later Washkansky’s new heart had functioned normally until his death. - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-human-heart-transplant3 Dec 1992 – Neil Papworth, a test engineer for Sema Group uses a personal computer to send the world's first text message "Merry Christmas" via the Vodafone network to the phone of Richard Jarvis who was at a party in Newbury, Berkshire, which had been organised to celebrate the event. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_messaging#HistoryIntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.com

The world was an arduous place in 1987. Terry Waite, the envoy, becomes a kidnap victim in West Asia until 1991. There were many woes around the world, the sinking of the ferry MS Herald of Free Enterprise, the Hungerford massacre, the "Great Storm", the Remembrance Day Bombing in Northern Ireland and the King's Cross fire. Haven’t we rather heard of these types of things every few years since? Margaret Thatcher became the longest serving British Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool in the early 19th century after securing a third term in office. The world is not moving on people. Anyhoo!

Join Stephen SPAZ Schnee as he chats comic books with BRIAN PEETS (A-1 Comics) and then discusses the music with REG MOMBASSA and PETER O'DOHERTY (Dog Trumpet and Mental As Anything)!

Iconic Aussie band Mental as Anything are headlining this year’s Ipswich Festival, playing the Mayor’s Festival Ball (13/4/18) and the Festival Street Party (14/4/18).Lead singer Greedy Smith hasn’t taken more than six weeks off in over forty years with the band! He says when he does take off, he gets twitchy!But what is that substance that Greedy drinks whilst he’s performing?? Surely not???Welcome to Phoenix Radio, Greedy Smith!!

John, D'argo, Rygel and Scorpius go on a boys' weekend to a mental training camp where they run into D'argo's brother in law. As Macton twists the past into disturbing new shapes we struggle with what this means for D'argo.

If he doesn’t have a paintbrush in his hand it’s likely he’ll have a guitar because Peter O'Doherty is as much a musician and songwriter as he is a painter. It wasn't long after leaving high school that he filled in for a guitarist of his brother's band who had gone on holidays and ended up never leaving. That band was Mental As Anything which rocketed to fame in Australia in the late 70s and 80s. During those years he taught himself to paint and that life - immersed in music and art - continues to this day. O'Doherty's paintings are mostly landscapes, many of them focussing on the manmade environment: fibro houses, red brick apartment blocks, cityscapes, quintessentially Australian. But he has also painted domestic still lifes: retro armchairs, a closeup of the washing up in the kitchen sink. His work has been recognised with awards including the Paddington art prize and he has exhibited in over 30 solo shows in Australia and New Zealand. But what I found most fascinating about our conversation were the parallels he drew between painting and music which added an extra dimension to how I view his work. To hear the conversation press play under the feature photo above. A short video of O'Doherty talking with Maria Stoljar in his studio is now on the Talking with Painters YouTube channel Upcoming events Solo exhibition 'Somewhere to live', King Street Gallery, 27 February to 24 March 2018 Links to things and people we talk about in the show Peter O'Doherty at King Street Gallery on William Kurt Schwitters Mental as Anything Reg Mombassa (aka Chris O'Doherty) on Talking with Painters Susan O'Doherty on Talking with Painters Dog Trumpet Rover Thomas Mark Rothko Paul Klee Piet Mondrian Jean Michel Basquiat Charlie Parker Thelonious Monk Dizzy Gillespie Grandmaster Flash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULlT4GyhqbY

Let's discuss one of the biggest killers to our physical and mental health... stress. How do you know you are stressed? What are the signs and what should you do to help yourself? We give you some very simple and yet highly effective ways to help you get out of stress mode.

This week, in the wake of how the world went on a judgemental rampage against a mum and an escape artist child and the tragic loss of a gorilla we explore the world of judging and how much it gets in the way of helping, hearing and acting appropriately.

Mental As Anything PODCAST 05 by Vanessa Lewis & Sharon Chisholm

Hear two sides of the story today around medication and mental illness. Sharon's experience with medication has been very positive whereas Vanessa's has been tainted. Let's discuss the stigma around taking medication and why it can be easier for many to self medicate with drugs and alcohol and how medication can get you back on track.

This week we talk about stigma, what it is and how much is holds us back from getting the help we need. The stigma around mental illness sucks and prevents all of us from being the best we can be. Support is needed, not judgement. Find out why here...

Today's podcast is about a subject close to home for both of the presenters... Anxiety. Let's talk about the symptoms, the signs you have it and what you can do when you're in the grip of an anxiety attack.
