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.

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!

Tatanka's John Dunbar, some mighty fine dub to get me through the morning in the desert.

Necking cheap Shiraz and listening to GG Allin. Wot a treat this is!

Blowin Friday, 16 May 2014 at 07:46 pm new

Had a thing for " Callistan " by Frank Black ( Teenager of the year ) last couple of days. Post apocalyptic retrospective of LA .

How good is soaking up good tunes with a buzz going. I've got a similar deal going to you Stu.

blindboy Friday, 16 May 2014 at 08:00 pm new

Can't go wrong with Frank Black Blowin' have you heard Black Letter Day or Bluefinger?

stunet Friday, 16 May 2014 at 08:05 pm new

Ha...my idea of a great night in Blowin. Worked my way from GG Allin to Napalm Death but the intermittent Spotify ads featuring sunny dance music were too much of a shock. Had to move on. Prolly a good thing, the growling was scaring the kids. Gone somewhat downtempo with Bad Brains > Stooges > XTC > Jesus and Mary Chain > and looking for my next avenue....

Blowin Friday, 16 May 2014 at 08:48 pm new

Nah Blindboy haven't heard them... But I will now. Cheers.
Downtempo ? I've gone from Roman beach party ( Celibate Rifles) to Honeymoon is over ( Cruel Sea ) .

Anymore downtempo and I'll be a puddle on the floor.

Going to watch a Muy Thai boxing fight in a couple of hours, better start ramping the atmosphere back up...

Tatanka (sitting bull), just been listening to that fine dub TGF, been awhile since I listened to dub, which put me down the electronic music realm.

I thought yo flew little choppers TGF not big iron ore trains, the cockpit looks like a DJ set up.....?
Do you own a Tatanka travel bag...?

Sheepdog Saturday, 17 May 2014 at 09:17 pm new

Digging through some old vinyl...... Came across a track that has a quite "no sense cold chisel" feel to the riff....... But this was 1978....

udo Saturday, 17 May 2014 at 09:37 pm new

Sheepy, i played full album of 'ratticus norvegicus ' this arvo took me back to my youth.......I feel like a wog was a classic.....no more heroes

Sheepdog Sunday, 18 May 2014 at 10:39 am new

Udo.... In 2 totally separate parts of Oz, we had the stranglers blaring at the same time...... Very odd. Great minds think alike ;)

udo Sunday, 18 May 2014 at 11:30 am new

Missed out when they played at ' the patch' in 1978 or 79 !

Sheepdog Sunday, 18 May 2014 at 11:52 am new

Yeah, was a bit too young for that one.......
Just pulled out another classic vinyl..... Mate if you are listening to this today as well, I think we should go 1/2s in a lotto

udo Sunday, 18 May 2014 at 12:05 pm new

Was thinking about playing London calling.......but ....will play ' door door' instead

blindboy Sunday, 18 May 2014 at 01:35 pm new

I bought a copy of Greetings From LA last week. Still sounds great to these ears.

Sheepdog Sunday, 18 May 2014 at 01:48 pm new

I still fly little choppers, used to fly the UAV's at Telfer.
These days I'm a Tech Writer - my current gig is writing the operating procedures for these track maintenance machines. I like to get involved in my work, so I gets hands on and have a go at whatever I can. Driving these track machines has been a real cool learning experience.
The way things are going I'm gonna be stuck at Hedland for a while with BHP, spewin cause that blows out my Kazakhstan gig.

Tatanka travel bag, never heard of them. Good quality eh?

There is also an Italian DJ who goes by the name of Tatanka if you like electro.

Post surf tunes today, The Alchemystics - after a great sesh of 4', glassy freight train rights reeling for 200m+.

Pulled out three consecutive albums by Gomez this afternoon - Bring It On, Liquid Skin and Split the Difference. Sometimes this band just slots in perfectly for the mood.

wellymon Sunday, 18 May 2014 at 04:04 pm new

Nice work TGF, very high tech stuff your doing, I knew you have a wealth of information :)

Good travel bags Tatonka.com, very durable, the image of the bull always gets me as I see a silhouette of a girls forehead with a big nasty dreadlock sticking out the back haha. My own vision.
Back to the tunes Gomez.....?

TGF this is one of my most favourite dub combined with Pink Floyd, Awesome.

Time is the master, Tick a tick a tock time is a disaster , you never know the hands of time...?

trippergreenfeet Sunday, 25 May 2014 at 06:15 pm new

Welly, I've got all the Easy Star All Star albums...how well do dub and floyd go together, their versions of Time and Us and Them are bloody great.

wellymon Sunday, 25 May 2014 at 06:28 pm new

Sheepdog Sunday, 25 May 2014 at 06:37 pm new

On the Run was always a tough song to see out, even Floyd's original isn't much better.

Sheepdog Sunday, 25 May 2014 at 06:53 pm new

It was just the intro, TGF...... I was going to the gun cabinet....... As homer simpson would say "urge to kill rising!!"....... Then reggae beats kicked in- "urge to kill fading......faaaading......" ;)

He's a Dawg, always on the RUN.

Sheepdog Sunday, 25 May 2014 at 07:05 pm new

On the run aye?? Well, my mrs and I play a little game where we deliberately hum a tune of a daggy shithouse song, just to put it in the head..... Sure enough, a few minutes later, you here the other person humming it.... Fuckn funny.... So, welly, TGF... You fuckn asked for it..... ;)

wellymon Sunday, 25 May 2014 at 07:11 pm new

:/ ......... o.k....... You've left me no option...... There's no coming back...... And i can picture you in the beach scene, tgf...... Dancing with an orange toothpick, no legrope attached...... Terry Fitz afro.... Glowing tan..... Part of the "incrowd"...... Enjoy..... If you can make it through the whole song, you will be a blithering mess, OR, you will feel the "urge to kill rising", OR you will start to question " is there more to life than meets the eye"?

trippergreenfeet Sunday, 25 May 2014 at 09:18 pm new

Anyone remember Tom Petty's Alice in Wonderland inspired magic mushroom munching, hooker smoking 80's psychedelic music video 'Don't Come Around Here No More'?

zenagain Sunday, 25 May 2014 at 11:28 pm new

This is gold, I almost want to shoot myself.

Some truly awful music.

I'm gonna come in from the blindside with an elbow to the head.

wellymon Monday, 26 May 2014 at 09:01 am new

YS remember the song well, never seen the video tho, awesome.

Zenagain that was a king hit, ooohhhh
