Good podcast that one i listen to it regularly and listened to that episode, i know an older guy that is fully into the whole high end vintage turntable thing, his set up is crazy and worth tens of thousands of dollars, sounds amazing especially once warmed up but the prices of some these turn tables for what they are is crazy.

Very cool imho !
The whole family are like the Partridge Family .
When I told Lili's mum this she had NFI who I was talking about .
I then said the Von Trapp Family and she laughed .
A tidy house is a tidy mind , my mum still tells me .
I am heading to the PBS Open Day in Collingwood .
Sons of the west.

nice, blackers!
Like the Blood Sucking Freaks doing a cover of the Smith Street Band doing a Clash cover..
(2nd best song editing in Northern Exposure, this song, lining up with Holling Vincoeur strutting around the pub 'looking for a fight' while he was in synch with the moose rutting season. Didn't make it to the dvd version unfortunately, I assume for copyright reasons)
(1st best song moment in Northern Exposure, in the Spring Break ep, when the town goes insane before the big ice-melt/snap, played during the naked street run.. I always assumed it was a Perry Farrell thing till I found it just now : /
Don't know what made me think of these two songs.. maybe it was another thread..)

(ready for round 2 boingas seeds?)
nice tune above, Jelly -
wotd seagull + dandob's story have had me humming this
(nice one JF)
is this the Morricone @pops? (you'll need to click on 'watch on youtube'):
I enjoy the pastoral stuff, Vaughan Williams, Elgar, et al, and the borderline twee, like John Rutter. But I do prefer a dark, mysterious edge like William Byrd, Arvo Part, John Taverner or this Vaughan Williams, based on an early theme by Thomas Tallis:
..
oh, seeds is on it!
connect. how sweet we get to hope for a gentle passing for those we love, and for ourselves, where we have small regrets and lived a full life. none of that calm hope for some humans in the world. probably the best version of Parting Glass for here is:
but for all the ed sheeran, high kings, etc versions, the wailin jennys get my vote. but then I was raised by a wise, gentle woman. and she sang to me.
Wise words basesix.
Also, cant reconnect without a disconnect.
Time out.
Face the sun..etc
Aloha :-)
Enjoy spring, folks, first time there's been a break in certain thread topics in a long time.
May we all do good in the world, talk less, and make life a more worthy thing.
Went to the launch of Screamfeeder's docco on Friday night "The Ending Goes Forever".
It was unreal.. followed the story of the band from their beginnings in Townsville, but also documented the Brisbane 90's scene really well - could easily have been a snapshot from Adelaide, Hobart, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne... anywhere at that point in time. Def recommend checking it out.
thanks Ben, that looks great. First I'd heard of it. I see I've missed the Bris showing. Wondering how else I might see it...

Been getting into these guys recently, they're an obvious tip of the hat to Fela Kuti, which is a really good start in my books.
Tight band playing the afrobeat funk thing.
Song kicks in around 3.10.
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.
