A Life in Pop on Australian Television

#1 Post by Rusty »

Aussie fans with Foxtel cable can catch "A Life in Pop" tonight (Wednesday) at 8:30 on the Biography channel. Even though we've all probably bought the DVD, it's still great to see the boys getting some coverage on the tele here, something that doesn't happen too often.

Thank God it's Mum's night off

Actually, a new series of Kath and Kim is being recorded.

With a special guest appearance by (drumroll) Matt Lucas

Alas no, I don't have IQ. Am thinking about it though, sounds kind of cool 8)

Speaking of PSB on OZ TV, there was another pop music documentary late last year on ABC2 and Music Max called Popsession which was German made I think. Anyway, it featured PSB fairly heavily in a couple of episodes and seemed to be filmed around the time of Potemkin. There is one rather odd scene of the boys in a studio supposely recording the Potemkin soundtrack, and standing in the background drinking a cup of tea is Kylie Minogue! No mention is made of why she's there, in fact no mention is made of her at all, but it's definitely her. Anyway, Neil pontificates at lenght about the song writing process amongst other things. Has anyone else ever heard of this doco? Considering the about of PSB content in it, it seemed odd that I had never heard of their involvement in it before, and I've found no clips of it on YouTube.
