The quest for the Mark Santillo Trophy of Musical Excellence has never been so difficult. In its 3rd year - 2 pods, 25 entries, Complex Voting System, it's all happening! Reigning champion Alex Mulholland joins the pod to hear the first dozen entries in Part 1. Remember, if you enjoy the songs and have a laugh then take some time to donate to Sirens of Silence. Voting will be open for 48 hours (give or take an hour or two - we run a tight ship!) It's time to sing-a-long to the SHIVA BLAST!

Well thank fuck its the bye rounds cause it seems that we aren’t the only ones that want to rest up, every man and his fucking dog look to be wanting to put their feet up this weekend. It’s time to whip some songwriters into shape and have a quick (intially left out but then fixed) lippykissy before looking back at the best of one of our all time favourites on a special bye round edition of the SHIVA BLAST!

For new shiva-ites, or for those that need a little inspiration to get the creative juices flowing, here is the 2017 song competition, won by Alex Mulholland!

Take 2 teams out of the playing pool for a week and things went a bit haywire, especially in Div 1. Benny continues to surprise this week by not only showing up for the 3rd week running but by putting in some hard work, even if it’s just being the mouthpiece for the far more accomplished Coach Marc. It's time to prepare for the bye rounds on this weeks SHIVA BLAST!

It’s like the powers that be have been thinking the Shiva season has been easy to this point, because this week you’ve now got the extra obstacle of playing with two less teams in the mix. Fucking perfect... Seems like Matty McGrath has taken the Port / Gold Coast bye a little too seriously and taken the week off, but fear not, drunken Crutt and friends more than make up for the time difference. With Benny’s strings being pulled like an N’Sync Marionette Puppet, this is an unmissable SHIVA BLAST!

Gossy what a champion. But can the same be said about BennyMacca? After last weeks lifeless excuse for a pod, i’m not convinced. We pull the pod up by its bootstraps this week, and you beset believe its not the only thing Benny’s been pulling this week. It’s time for a call to action shitshippers on this weeks SHIVA BLAST!

It’s been a crazy couple of days in injury land and if you’ve managed to dodge it all, from us here at the Shiva Blast, fuck you! We find the lucky and unlucky throughout the comp, Tim Marsh channels Michael Barlow and more on the latest episode of the SHIVA BLAST!

Benny's headed for the wilderness with his brother. McGrath and Wingard can't adjust to Wednesdays. So it's redemption time this week on the Shiva Blast! Can Patch and Coach Gossy deliver a semi-factual Shiva Blast? The proof is in the podcast as Crutt goes wild with Lippy Kissys and Damon, via Tim Marsh, talks shit lips. As always, we set a high bar on the SHIVA BLAST!
