Dave Graney talks with New Zealand songwriter, writer, substacker, musician and all around interesting character George Henderson. Both vintage players, both pale South Seas human beings having lived lives as sui generis voices off in colonial outposts of the Anglo American world of popular and unpoular music. Made guys. Veterans of the psychic wars! (thank you Blue Oyster Cult). They chime strangely on so many occult scores, streams and fellow travellers. Weirdly normal types. But as Mark E Smith once quoth "ya don't have to be weird to be weird..."

Simon Strong lives in Melbourne but comes straight out of Sheffield in the UK. He made or makes music in The Ekranoplans and The Pink Stainless Tail before that. He presents a show on Radio 3CR in Melbourne. He tells a story of writing a novel in 2002 and then forgetting about it then retrieving it and finishing it after a dream encounter with Howard Devoto from Magazine. He released the book - The Bastardizer Polishes a Turd - in 2023 and had since released an audio version of it as well as an album of collaborations with artist "remixing" some of the audio of him talking and there is also an album of him performing/reading the book in Sheffield this year. Simon has a mad spark and a natural flow. Rabbit holes are his natural terrain. The talk goes all over popular and unpopular culture. You can access any of his stuff via https://simonstrong.bandcamp.com/audio
