Thanks for posting that!

At an hour,it was pretty long, but definitely worth a listen- the interviewer admitted at the end he was nervous interviewing 1 of his idols, but fortunately, Rob is quite capable of stringing his words together and didn't get flustered (or cranky) with the interviewer's awkwardness

A couple of random notable bits were;

No oils live until next year, & most likely in a special event/ festival context. Rob seemed pretty casual about this- he's got plenty going on anyway I guess.

Confirmation that PG is indeed writing a memoir

The importance of being true ,to your own musical vision & being really really good at what u do (he named Ani Brun & Lior at Womadelaide in this context- and they were great!)

Tales of the sadly departed Aus music live scene, were bands who were great live and committed to playing lots of gigs could make a living without mainstream airplay

And most importantly, the laugh out loud tale of the giant testicle

Cheers,
David
