25.01.2022 I currently stream two nights a week over on Twitch - Tuesday and Friday nights from 8:30pm AEST. Tuesday nights are a little more laid back and I'm doing "live learns", or requests to learn songs that aren't in my song list. Come and hang out sometime on https://twitch.tv/richardthornton. This week's request came from a regular member Athnar, who suggested Tim Minchin's The Song for Phil Daoust, a lovely little ditty journalling Tim's journey of introspection after a journal...ist wrote a bad review. :) If you'd like to keep in touch behind the scenes, jump on my Discord server and say g'day! https://discord.gg/nU4Bv64 [Lyrics] This is a song for Phil Daoust Occasional Guardian newspaper journal-oust I never ever ever mentioned your name Or the review that you wrote when I was new to this game But now the time has come I think I've dealt with my feelings at last I really wanna forgive you, Phil Yeah, I wanna put the past in the past-a-a And as this is such a big tour I thought I ought to take the opportunity Cause there's a pretty good chance somebody out there will know you Maybe they will pass on a message for me Just wanna say, Phil Daoust Occasional Guardian newspaper journal-oust That it's been three years since you wrote it And time is very healing But I still wanna cut big chunks of flesh out of your stupid face And make your children watch while I force you to eat them Yeah I wanna make your children watch you eat your own face-meat Ding dang ding dang dong This is my Phil Doust song Everybody sing along La la la, la la la la I hope one of your family members dies Phil, ding dang dong I've written you this special song To help you get the attention You obviously, desperately lack And I know that you're a smart man And with such a fine mind, I guess it has to be hard To resist throwing narcissistic, intellectual tantrums In the supermarket aisles of your self-regard Just wanna say, Phil Daoust I know it must be really hard to be a journal-oust While a deadline's always looming And the pressure to be entertaining So maybe you should quit and get a job that you'd be better at Like killing yourself, you fucking jerk Ding dang ding dang dong This is my Phil Doust song Everybody sing along Tra la la, la la la la I hope something you love catches on fire Phil, ding dang dong I've written you this special song To show how far I've come along In my efforts to be more mature in the face of negative feedback

24.01.2022 Friday night! Come over to https://twitch.tv/richardthornton and join the fun.

24.01.2022 I'm back with another song I learned live on Twitch! This is a cracker from Timmy The Dog, the band Tim Minchin played with way back when he lived in Perth, Australia. https://www.timminchin.com/timmy-the-dog/ I stream two nights a week over on Twitch - Tuesday and Friday nights from 8:30pm AEST. Come and hang out sometime on https://twitch.tv/richardthornton. If you'd like to keep in touch behind the scenes, jump on my Discord server and say g'day! https://discord.gg/nU4Bv64... [Lyrics] You can have my body You can steal my car You can take my money You can have what you like but it won't get you very far Cos my heart belongs to an 18 year old lesbian You can be my lover We can have a fling You can say you're mine forever You can tell me what you like but it won't get you anything Cos my heart belongs to an 18 year old lesbian I can't quite believe it After years of lonely searching I have stumbled here on my ideal girl And forget about logistics So she's seven years my junior So what if she likes kissing girls as well? It doesnt matter Cos I know I've found my only one She has my heart forever But I'll keep my feelings to myself Id never dare to tell her Cos she tends towards females And I'm definitely a fella But if she was mine By God, I'd love her well You can be my buddy We'll be best of friends And you may be smart or funny We may be the perfect pair but there'll be tears in the end Cos my heart belongs to an 18 year old lesbian I dont see why I shouldnt Be allowed to have my dream Just because we bat for different sides Just look at Romeo and Juliet They ended up together Though admittedly they prematurely died It doesn't matter Cos next time I see her I'm gonna pledge my heart forever And I'll ask her for her hand Although I won't forget to tell her That I don't mind wearing dresses If she wants to be the fella Cos I think I'd make A really lovely bride I can't quite believe it After years of lonely searching I have stumbled here on my ideal girl And forget about logistics So she's seven years my junior So what if she likes kissing girls as well? It doesnt matter Cos she can wear the trousers And I will wear the nighty She can grow her armpit hair And I will wax fortnightly And despite the fact that hairless I'm a little bit unsightly I'd give more than just my hair to have this girl

24.01.2022 Thank you once again to everyone who made tonight so fantastic! I had a blast and hope you all did too.

23.01.2022 I'll be live on Twitch in just under an hour! Could be great. Could be a disaster. But come and keep me company. Either way it'll be fun!

22.01.2022 I really suck at this Facebook live game and couldn't work out how to get this on my page and profile at the same time. So, here's last night's live performance for viewing at your leisure.

09.01.2022 Every Tuesday and Friday you'll find me LIVE on Twitch. During my Tuesday streams I try to "live learn" a new song, recommended by my community. This week it was this fun little song called The Cabin, from the Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis.

05.01.2022 Aaaaand we're back with another Twitch Live Learn! Requested by Xotchkass, Hell in a Handbasket is by Cuban-born Amercian singer Aurelio Voltaire and after a few minutes of learning this live on stream, I recorded the song and then the trumpet lines which, through the magic of editing, come together to make this video. :) I stream two nights a week over on Twitch - Tuesday and Friday nights from 8:30pm AEST.

03.01.2022 As the world continues to wrestle with the coronavirus pandemic, there's one thing we know that can make a difference; simply staying home. After my earlier ode to poo, this follow up song is dedicated to those people who don't get the choice to stay home - our medical professionals, emergency service personnel and Uber Eats drivers.
