Tunes

Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

Zenagain...... You've crossed the line....... a bit like my "your brother wanted to borrow the car this morning" joke...... There are no winners in this......

As far as "beyonce" goes, TGF, horrid...... But at least she's good on the eye....

trippergreenfeet Monday, 26 May 2014 at 12:14 pm new

I can't take it no moooorrrre....fuck that is one horrid song all right...anyway back on track, was reminded how good this crew actually were while revisiting The Green Iguana this morning.

Yesss.... Yeeeeesssss... Let's leave this ugliness behind us shall we.... And march on like pigs....

Was gonna post "sex and drugs and rocknroll", or "i wanna be straight", but their biggest hit would still be a smash today in my opinion..... Back when muso's were muso's.....

Two albums got a good thrashing today - Helmet's "Betty" and Girls Against Boys' "House of GVSB".

House of GVSB is a great album. Great band!

i was fully into helmet, but is there an album you could recommend post 'Betty". I had 'Aftertaste"and it was a bitter one. Betty is my favourite album of theirs though, songs go well in mixes with; Mark of cain, Butthole surfers (worm saloon) , Big Black, Rollerball, any music with Joel Silbersher in it.....Hoss etc...an oldish obscure band on the rise above label 'Sally' have some good rollers.......Slug Guts when its flat and cold

Average song... Not bad..... But brilliant film clip

Of the dozens of songs posted here, can't believe we overlooked a classic Aussie band.

R.I.P Bernard 'Doc' Neeson.

Sadly passed away this morning after losing a long hard battle with brain cancer.

No way, get fucked, fuck off!

Part of the Aussie vernacular now.

No way, get fucked...really? Shame, there's a time and place (1987 in a big beer hall) for big dumb rock and The Angels played it best.

Just remembered the kid in 9th grade who got an Angels tattoo. He was the first person I ever knew who got ink. It looked fucken unreal and we were well impressed. So impressed we overlooked the fact it was spelt 'The Angles.'

R.I.P. 'DOC'
Keystone Angels

pre-big blue light/big dumb rock status...and more importantly, pre-big bad 80s surf vid. Vale Doc.

jeez, this song struck a chord back then, let alone friggin' now on a monday morning!

Shatner'sBassoon Wednesday, 4 Jun 2014 at 06:22 pm new

These blokes played at the local footy club on the weekend. Of course it was fucken sick, hey.

Just found out Buzz Osborne is playing at the local hall in my town. It seems to attract a wide range of artists, last month Brian Cadd and Glen Shorrock played there, now month King Buzzo. Wonder if he'll play any Melvins songs?

Shatner'sBassoon Wednesday, 4 Jun 2014 at 06:21 pm new

Buzz is a dead ringer for an old cohort of mine...Howie aka Bomba. Hair & all?! Anyways, Buzzo knows his onions:

The Hard Ons with Keish back on the bongos! Oh yeah... Saw them a few times after he left when Blackie took over vocals. Just weren't the same, too raw, too tough, too blokey.

Shatner'sBassoon Thursday, 5 Jun 2014 at 05:40 pm new

Keish is strictly on vocals and dancing detail! Smooth moves too.

yorkessurfer Thursday, 5 Jun 2014 at 04:44 pm new

Just added Rage Against the Machine's 'Know Your Enemy' to my playlist. Haven't heard this stuff since the early 90's, it just popped into my head. The album cover is radical too, a monk in the act of self immolation!

Speaking of apocalyptic..... i could've posted a link to the actual clip, but this homemade job is quite effective....

Destructive Sheepy....but pretty cool too! Now for a change of pace- here's Charlie Sheen talking about his drug use, set to a rap beat known as the Charlie Sheen Dubstep. It's fucken funny;)

Goodness........ Well, was gonna post this the other day..... Sort of related to Charlie sheen in a way.... great old track

Ian Dury was a blindin' poet!

"Had a love affair with Nina
in the back of my Cortina
a seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener
she took me to the cleaners
and other misdemeanours
but I got right up between her
rum and her Ribena"

@ stu... MELVINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah been watching with interest KBuzz's solo stuff. his 2 releases seem cool.. he played Melvins' 'Boris' live at his 1st solo gig from what I can tell.. though if his solo 2 x songs are anything to go by - i"m keen just to hear that... if time and money permits.. I'll be at on of his gigs.....
how fkn good is jello's GBSOR.. i love how these ol' boys are keeping it fresh.. and relevant. in their own and diff ways.. hard ons included..

Sheepdog, a bit of bogan rock - Dave Warner from the suburbs.
Bogan rock probably the wrong term ?

MR Shatner, Die Antwoord that's wild shit.
Yolandi Visser mesmerizes me.

it's a little known fact that she was Mark Visser's first wife. First met at Donkey Bay back in the naughty naughties...true.

DA had me hooked since I first saw a clip on late night rage, not just the tunes but the social commentary and boundary pushing, but the promotion of zef culture...and those fuckin crazy black contacts.

I reckon their daughter must lead an interesting life with those two for parents.

Dead Kennedy's will be here in Sep.... Wonder what they'd be like these days? Absolute legends The Bennies are supporting them.

Shatner'sBassoon Wednesday, 2 Jul 2014 at 12:02 pm new

Neurosis are touring, 3 former members of Dead Kennedys are touring as "Dead Kennedys"...one thing in common: they're not enamoured of Jello Biafra! Oh, and this:

stunet Wednesday, 2 Jul 2014 at 12:09 pm new

Jello ripped them off? Hmmmm....

Well, whatever the truth the Dead Kennedys without Jello are like Happy Days without the Fonz, and that's just not cool.

ayyyyyyy.........
