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.

Jeeez.... For a moment, I'm sure I was transported back to Milla Milla 1981... Amongst the blue meeny fields........ :)

Great song Tripper. But right now I'm straying more towards " Smoke Two Joints " by Sublime.

RIP Jay Sad news :(

One of the best Aussie bands of all time...Long live the Weed.

Blowin, ya got me singing along...

Smoke two joints in the morning
smoke two joints at night
smoke two joints in the afternoon
it make me feel alright
smoke two joints in time of peace
and two in time of war
smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
then I smoke two more

fuck yeah, good times, even greater memories.

Has anyone been listening to the new version of double j? It's well worth a listen, lots of good music from all eras.

Yeah, really like what they have done with the station, great selection of tunes that jjj have played over the last 30 yrs + other stuff that has dropped off the playlists. First thing I do in the morning is turn on the tv and crank ch200.

any fans of " eddie current suppression ring "
, heard a song by " pink temple :- carol " today that really reminded me of those guys
( new take on late seventies punk sound ) , but with classic Aussie lyrics ...

Sheepdog Wednesday, 27 Aug 2014 at 09:24 am new

Heard this last week..... Good song.....

fraser-gordon Wednesday, 27 Aug 2014 at 11:52 am new

Cool song Sheepy reminds me of this jangly classic.Great vid too.

Sheepdog Wednesday, 27 Aug 2014 at 12:12 pm new

Well, fraser...... I'll admit i have never heard that before....... Nice.....

1989...skate v surf in the music/culture department right there. Speed Freaks v All Down the Line, say. Dinosaur Jr v er...Noiseworks!! Surfing's been playing that kind of catch-up since the start of the 80s. & still can't get there.

Taylor Steele used skate vids for his whole blueprint. Wow! Revolutionary!

Stay tuned, shipsters: is this the future for surf films?

These are krazy times, fellow surfistas.

As Tony Abbott (I think) said the other day, "To you I shall put an end, then you'll never hear surf music again."

I dunno who he was talking to exactly, ISIL*? Daesh? The ABC board?

Anyways, let's enjoy some good ol' surf muzak before it's too late:

* Islamic Surfers In Line-up

Going to see The Selecter tomorrow night. Dusting off the Tredairs for a right old knees up.

Thatcher's Britain, Abbott's Australia...the song remains the same.

Nice one ;)

They're playing their first album. Been really killing it in the UK this year. Glasto included. Surprised themselves, I think.
