Thanx a bunch, Blackers. They'll do just fine. 5 hours to go and about 4 hours worth of work. Just the pace, i think.

;)

Good straight up Call with Aussie Class Act .... Blackers...
Back it up with another best ever Alt Oz Minstrel that deserves more cred...
Never heard anything more perfect than everyone's fav Oz Singer Songwriter Performer!
Salute Dom Mariani ...a hard working Live Performer delivering memorable gigs!

Gave it a run this morning as well as the new Sleaford Mods track. Neither grabbing me by the kahunis straight away

Bilious. I heard this one in the Osteo just before getting my neck cracked.

I hope David Byrne is as disgusted as his fans must be.

Here's something that makes a bit more sense.

No road trip complete without a few spins of “Stop Making Sense”. Flogged on my first teenage trip from the GS to the NW. Epic.

They just opened Rage tonight with this

Radio Birdman doing the rounds in Aus soon.

Yes, get on board, they playing here on my birthday too! Unfortunately, when I mentioned it to my dear wife she said she had something else booked so it will have to be next time. May be running out of chances....

I meant to acknowledge this TBB, totally concur.

Grinners for me are one of those bands i didnt like at the time but mates did but were still fun live, but now i dont mind some of their stuff and will throw songs in Spotify mixes.

So coming from that perspective id say that sounds decent and loyal to their sound but at the same nothing special.

Great band live. Might check em out again. Couple of moments in this new one I got Shihad vibes

So good!!

Got tickets for both of these bands this year... Showing my age but frothing on both. Crawl from my early days, one of thefirst bands I saw live at about 13, think Radiators first ever, and gurus from my teens ...
What a great era in Australia....

Seeds. I like this version of Jefferson Airplanes - White Rabbit.

It reminds me of being on mushies and going to the ‘other’ side stepping into that world and then returning to the real world. I think it’s defined well in this clip. Enjoy AW

The doorman says!
There’s plenty offered in the forums to ‘feed your head.’
ps. I find white rabbits are tastier than the more gamey others.

peter was off the hook, new order or joy division set better? couldn't say

(bless you @seeds!)

Any good on the chew, basesix?

Doh!

yeh, ian curtis (joy division) topped himself, a nick drake type, revered ridiculously now, but I don't reckon there'd be nick cave without him. peter hook (bass player) is perky and happy and rocking his old man band with some young-uns and really having a ball.

Basesix. Hope you’re well and poking around Melbourne town was enjoyable. I feel terrible now, how sad.
I kind of remember that now about the lead singer , didn’t know his name. I can’t imagine what some individuals endure.
Glad us clowns talk to each other, bit of a daily stance at the metaphorical ‘clock on for work’ machine, keeps us relevant.AW

Read the Ian Curtis biography, Touching from a distance, written by his wife. Fantastic insight to a clever but troubled soul.

I'll have a go at it, cheers, maybe in the midwinter.. he'd be one of the mark e smith types that came away from the buzzcock's lesser free trade hall pistols gig in manchester, thinking 'shit, I could do it better than that!'

coupla moody monday classics, two strong hearts, reaching out forever like the river to the sea.

@Blackers… great live if you get the chance

On Netflix

Via Swellnet ya have now... :)
Beauty of the dead is that there is just so many recordings of their live shows from their early days up until the 90's.

I dropped acid at the only Dead show i went to. Looong time ago. Wound up in an ambulance to an ER that night. (knee) Never tried acid again. Still love The Dead. You run into those guys around here in the Bay Area. Still.

Hi Wax.
They really are quite a phenomenal band.
Never really knew much about them in Oz, never really heard of or played on radio here.
Started to listen to them about 6 years ago, don't even really know how, just YouTube I guess.
Opened up a huge rabbit hole that I'm still going down from the early albums, live stuff all the way through. Robert Hunter must be one of the best lyricists ever, really has an incredible way with words backed up by incredible musicians.
What an era and they all seem/ seemed like really nice humans.
Jerry Garcia spoke so well and really seemed to be such a genuine guy, so sad his early demise.
Anyway Dead an co are played at the dome in Vegas ATM. Incredible they movement is still going with old and new fans getting on the bus.
What a long strange trip ey. :)

It's going nuts again. I'm out.
