šŸŽ§ An unmissable chaotic interview with TISM (Double J)

Listened An unmissable chaotic interview with TISM from Double J

TISM are reuniting and we invited them to speak on Double J Arvos. What could go wrong!?

I thought it was another prank from, like the silence of the Omni Album. However, it would seem that TISM are getting back together. I could not help but be reminded of Damian Cowell’s interview with Matt Stewart in which he stated that if TISM came back it would be shithouse. I guess we are going to find it, although I fear that my rock festival days may be past me.

At the very least they are hear to bring a bit more artifice to the world through things such as their interview with Tim Shiel talking about Roy Kid La, Frydenberg’s minimalist guitar style and Hockey Dad (transcript here) or their interviews with The Guardian, talking about Angus Taylor on triangle:

think you will have noticed, being from the Guardian, that it was right after the demise of the last Liberal cabinet that we re-emerged, and thatā€™s because we noticed there was a gap in the market for grotesque clowns. Theyā€™re out; weā€™re in.

We actually tried to get Angus Taylor ā€“ we offered him the job of playing triangle ā€“ but it was a little bit intellectual for him.

And their absence as an art piece:

Ron H-B: Look Andrew, weā€™re not talking to Bongo and the Monkey on FM radio here, weā€™re talking to someone from the Guardian. Weā€™re not talking top-notch ā€“ weā€™re not talking Katharine and weā€™re not talking Lenore here ā€“ but we are talking to a man of your acuity, and I think youā€™ll have picked up that the last 19 years of silence has actually been an art piece. Itā€™s like an installation. Itā€™s a reassessment of our aesthetic, and I think after 19 years, weā€™ve made our point loud and clear.

Or The Age discussing their new genre of ‘Knock-Down Re-Build’:

ā€œWeā€™re introducing a new genre, KDRB,ā€ he said. ā€œThe young people arenā€™t into it as much as we are, but itā€™s Knock Down Re-Build, and our shows will mainly be financial advice.

ā€œIf youā€™re on your third investment property, like we are, then music and costumes, itā€™s trivial compared to interest rates, mortgages. Weā€™re exploring new art forms and with Knock Down Re-Build, our new genre ā€¦ thereā€™ll be no new music.ā€

I wonder if this might mean a return to guest hosting Rage?

To be honest, as much as I am excited, I hope that this is not the end of the Disco Machine.

  1. Although not ā€˜celebritiesā€™ in the traditional sense, it has been interesting to read and listen to TISM announce themselves once again. Same same, but different? Yes, they were seemingly communicating via a video call, an affordance not as prevalent 20 years ago, but overall things were still as they were. Focus on anything but themselves. Maybe there might be some further campaigns to come, but seemingly always on their terms.

  2. So another month passes. For me, someone ran into the back of my car. Sometimes life just happens, I guess. When I initially inquired about getting a loan car, I was told that I would need to travel to the airport to collect it. Unwilling to do this, we managed to get through most of the month with just one car. Although I did end up finding a loan car closer to home, it definitely made me think about our dependence on a vehicle differently.
    On other matters, we continued to venture out more and more, step by step. We rejoined the Melbourne Zoo, ventured to a few country markets and ate out a bit more, including in Chinatown in the CBD. (Apparently exploring Chinatown was on Ms 6ā€™s bucket list.) This is definitely not a return to normal, but maybe this is the new normal? Still not sure how I feel about going on a big holiday, but it feels like I am more and more in the minority.
    At work, we survived the rush associated with biannual academic reporting, even as some people were on leave. In addition to that, I have continued doing my usual day-to-day stuff, such as testing improvements, responding to support calls and developing various guides. In amongst all of this, somebody thought we needed Office 365, so we have been learning about the benefits of collaborative software, even if we have been using
    Personally, I finally found out what I was missing in regards to Hamilton, (although only my wife was lucky enough to see it on stage.) I also joined in the Minefieldā€™s not quite a bookclub reading (or listening to) Jane Austenā€™s Emma. In regards to music, I enjoyed the thought that TISM are returning.

    Foolishly, about 20 years ago, I said that the only way that TISM would ever reappear would be if the Fair Work Commission decided to raise the minimum wage. I thought I was pretty safe there. Because, as if anyoneā€™s going to give those bloody battlers a decent go.
    Then I got a phone call at 10am this morning. They said, ā€˜Itā€™s happenedā€™ and, shamefully, here we are.
