Oxhead Woods – Mutombo
I’m gambling on this one because I’m not 100% certain that this artist is Australian but I have a very sneaky hunch that he/she is and that they may even be a member of crucial Melbourne outfit Total Giovanni. Just maybe. We can’t possibly know at this point but I have my street team combing the whole of Northcote for clues. If it’s out there, we’ll find it. The primary clue we have to go on (which bids me investigate in a different direction) is the track title ‘Mutombo’. Is there a connection with Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo?
Mutombo is one of the NBAs all time best shot blockers so utilising his name on this track is almost certainly no accident in a time when the Australian internet is facing dangerous censorship at the hands of (and I think you probably already know where I’m going here) one man with a history of blocking. George Brandis. We followed the breadcrumbs and what came up? That’s right, our governor general is spending his down time making lo-fi bedroom disco. Waving his finger in our faces as he makes lighthearted (yet oddly gorgeous) lapt-pop* on taxpayer dime. This is easily the best thing that Brandis has done during his time as GG and frankly the only thing he’s done that I’d be happy supporting. Keep at it boi, tax dollars well spent.
