Equal parts monk, Visigoth and village idiot, the Spooky Men’s Chorale explores the paradoxes of latter day masculinity with unbridled enthusiasm, a pleasing array of deep harmonies, and a twinkle in their eye. They’ve somehow mastered the impossible art of being both musically immaculate and blitheringly stupid, whilst essaying an increasingly preposterous array of subject matter: tools, mastodons, their own body parts, surfing, gluttony, and how to scare off hostile neighbouring tribes at 5.43 am.

Arising from the Blue Mountains in Australia, the Spooky Men’s Chorale have been gleefully smashing up and reassembling the world of  men’s singing since 2001, and will now continue their long, slow, global conquest with a 6th tour of the UK, tenderly brandishing their latest album  “Warm”, a long requested idyll in a vast, bottomless, massively comforting musical sofa.

‘I have written a blasphemous book’, said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, ‘and I feel as spotless as the lamb’. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible – and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child – or perhaps its immaculate conception – the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville’s magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.

Music composer and pianist Jamal Mavadat enjoys exploring imaginary places. He is Iranian/Australian bloke in Sydney Australia. As a technologist he makes a living and as a musician he lives.

I do occasional comedy music, and occasional covers, and occasionally people like them. Occasionally I'll upload stuff here.

Have recorded under my own name, and as "Baby Hammer Death", and currently - accidentally - as "Stop That Astronaut". Which works, so that's OK.

IRL I'm a pommie expat living in Sydney, one half of the In Vino Veritas Podcast, organiser of Skepticamp Australia, blogger, programmer and Social Median.



I'm just sayin' what the Astrayan people are sayin' , like a parrot or ventriloquist, and sometimes I do it with a sampler. 

British comedian Adam Buxton talks with interesting people. The rambly conversations are sometimes funny, sometimes more serious with funny bits. Adam records the intros and outros for most episodes while walking with his dog friend Rosie in the East Anglian countryside where he lives with his wife and three children. 

Adam has appeared in films such as ‘Hot Fuzz’, ‘Stardust’ and ‘Son Of Rambow’ as well as a variety of TV shows in the UK. Since 2007 he has hosted ‘BUG’, a live show that combines music videos and comedy that became a TV series on Sky Atlantic in 2012. From time to time he also does live shows featuring just his own material. Along with lifelong friend Joe Cornish he also is one half of award winning TV, radio and podcast duo Adam & Joe who have worked together since 1995. 

You can find many of the insanely catchy jingles Adam makes for the podcast as well as amazing bonus material, beautiful merchandise and a selection of his incredibly funny and brilliant YouTube videos on the free Adam Buxton app.

Adam is writing this himself using the third person.
