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.

Just can't get my head around Neil Young with a bob cut. I thought he was born with a shoulder length bum part.

Anyhoo, ain't no solo like a flute solo. Done by a hairy dude in dungarees, no less...

Time for a red dot... or a brown dot.... Or a superman..... Or even a few blue meanies.....

fraser-gordon Wednesday, 2 Jul 2014 at 04:43 pm new

Don't go here.

Sheepdog Wednesday, 2 Jul 2014 at 04:50 pm new

These were the days lol

This tune thread has had some good moments... But what about the worse songs ever? The top 50 worse songs that were worldwide hits? There have been some truly hideous moments in music history...
Here are 10 songs I'd like to nominate for the "swellnet 50 song compilation, only cd on board during a sadistic indo boatrip"....

Any chance of writing what the song is before we click? Don't want some of those URLs in my history.

And if anyone nominates Safety Dance things are gonna get real ugly 'round here.

Pussycat- Mississippi

Yew!

stunet Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 09:50 am new

I'm with Blowin, there's no hope for the human race.

Alright, now I'm making myself angry.

No more.

Chinese Food- Alison Gold.

stunet Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 09:54 am new

How do you know these songs Zen???

zenagain Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 09:57 am new

Stu, I think we need songs like these to remind us of how truly wonderful real music can be.

Seiji Ozawa (poor fellow, now riddled with cancer) conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker.

Truly beautiful.

zenagain Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 09:58 am new

I don't know Stu. Probably the same reason why a car wreck stays in my mind.

stunet Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 10:03 am new

Beautiful music indeed, but I'm gonna restore some order here. Click on this, turn it way the fuck up, then watch every dwarf and crazy eyed blonde in the village come out and shake it.

And if this doesn't make you want to go on a shooting rampage, nothing will.

Puppy love- Yuikaori.

Sheepdog Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 10:06 am new

Touche' welly.... Touche'.... I did ask for it ;)

Shatner'sBassoon Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 11:50 am new

There's such a fine line between clever and horrifically & perversely stupid (warning contains ear worms of DUNE proportions):

Trio (duh?)

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xuao3p_trio-da-da-da-1982_music

Word up!

Skatt Brothers (ha ha!)...I think Tones Abbott posted this one on youtube:

Blurred lines (80s style)...I think he posted this one too!

Shatner'sBassoon Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 12:27 pm new

SOD (not Stormtroopers of Death):

stunet Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 12:17 pm new

...glad I clicked on that link!

zenagain Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 01:11 pm new

Ha! It was the only clip I watched to the end.

Bravo Shatner.

Shatner'sBassoon Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 01:23 pm new

What? No Sabrina till the er, finish? Oh, the innocent days when a glimpse of 'dinnerplate' was enough to fuel a young man's imagination for weeks!

zenagain Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 01:41 pm new

I fast fowarded through the Sabrina clip and only watched the parts when her bikini was wet;)

Gold bless those little brown-nosed puppies.

That clip stands out and the uncut 'Girls on Film' clip by Duran Duran in terms of fueling my schoolboy lust all those years ago.

fraser-gordon Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 04:37 pm new

Ha if your going to take the piss.

Sheepdog Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 06:22 pm new

Speaking of taking the piss... James Blunt ponders the question, where does an international pop star get milk when one runs out? He looks for advice....

wellymon Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 06:24 pm new

Classic. F-G
Did you realise Danzig mentioned Ding repair, fiberglass and resin;)
Apparently. ....?

Shatner'sBassoon Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 06:38 pm new

Please Lord, let this draw a line under the wretchedness on here...

Shatner'sBassoon Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 06:42 pm new

Speaking of wretchedness and James Blunt, gotta admit, the dude's got a sense of humour at least...in fact, he's pretty friggin' on it

Sheepdog Thursday, 3 Jul 2014 at 06:46 pm new

Shats - double platinum in the USA alone..... That's just the single..... I reckon even I'd have a sense of humour.......

Sheepdog Saturday, 5 Jul 2014 at 10:02 am new

Another cool chillax song for a cold foggy saturday morning...

Shatner'sBassoon Monday, 7 Jul 2014 at 06:44 pm new

This clip is all about the visuals, and the pure poetic spectacle of destruction. Spike Jonze knows his Antonioni.

Enjoy the miasma.

How did the Gurge put it, I like your old stuff better than your new stuff.

Good morning wake up call.

Shatner'sBassoon Wednesday, 9 Jul 2014 at 06:56 pm new

Although your world wonders me,
With your majestic and superior cackling hen
Your people I do not understand,
So to you I shall put an end
And you'll
Never hear
Surf music again
