I remember watching the ‘Sunday crazies’ on New Zealand telly in the late nineties and presumably they are still on. Benny ‘the hair’ was my favourite and could always be relied on for a good laugh.

I wondered how the ratbag was doing and a Google search for him turned up thousands of sites and pages - and in nearly every one his name was associated with the word ‘fraud’.

Here’s part one of an excellent ‘Fifth Estate’ documentary about him. All 5 parts are available in the related videos box at the YouTube page here.

Yes, I’ve shifted to a new hosting company and what a breath of fresh air! Page loading times have dramatically improved and uploading files etc using the FTP program would have to be ten times as fast (the new host even commented how long it took to get the files from the old servers when they did the transfer process for me).

Twice the price, but worth every cent!

Who am I with now? GD Webhosting is the company and I’m happy to give them a plug!

I’m hooked on YouTube. Who knows how long before the music industry flexes it’s corporate muscle and kills off another area of enjoyment? Enjoy it while it’s here I say, and in that vein here’s a few more music vids of bands from my past.

First up - Steely Dan. I was a huge fan in the 70s and then last year ‘rediscovered’ how bloody good they were (are, Becker & Fagan are still goin strong).

Babylon Sisters. Love it.

Kid Charlemagne. Ditto.

and of course, no Dan collection would be complete without My Old School.
