Here’s a genre :
Songs of potential reactionary dichotomy .
Play me this song after a solid ten year hiatus and I’ll fall over with delight. The delicately plucked guitar, the poetic storytelling of the lyrics. It’s all evocation and creates desire to lay on a quiet piece of sun drenched hill staring at the clouds and listening to the seabirds…..sigh.
Then watch my face turn beetroot red with explosive irritation if I happen to hear it again a time or two within ensuing days, which strangely seems to happen due to some unexplained cosmic force. The twee guitar picking, the cloying language grasping at an obvious trope. The cutesy lyrics…..Aaaargrh fugggginn Aaaarghhh!
Anyway…heard it today after a long spell and loved it once more.
I never knew who played that song, love it though, im pretty sure it was on Blazing Boards.
It's kind of depressing song though makes you yearn for another time.

He was yearning for another time back in 1975!

thought about going with naive melody but the zimmermen formed a nice link with
which led to some more flavours of americana

Thanks for the link! Heard the author interviewed on RRR or PBS (forget which) last week - her best mates Dad ran the Barwon so she was right in the thick of it. Sounds like it will be a great read. Here's hoping someone puts something together for the 00's...never forget the sticky carpets of the Nash.

I just figured out I know the author. She's a legend. She gave me a lift home once after my car was stolen a few years back. She had literally just taken delivery of her Tarago and let me jump in with a wet wetsuit, sandy feet and surfboard and dropped me home at the door. Big personality, very kind hearted. I'm gunna have to buy the book now and quiz her about her past.

Nice side step into left field Philo. Got me thinking more broadly, which is always a good thing.

Top shelf blackers, songs about places going strong.
Reckon this would provide great soundtrack for a longboarding clip...

Maybe a bit mainstream for the punters on here. I love this song though. Showing my softer side.

Perhaps my least favourite song from that album and I was still tempted to put it up here a few days ago myself. Such is the quality of the album.
Perhaps my favourite album of all time?
"Perhaps my favourite album of all time?"
For me - that's too hard to call.
But far and away best gig I've ever been to - Oils at the Lyric in Geelong around late 90's.
This is my favorite album of the nineties..still occasionally listen to it and like every song.
The Oils goat island concert for anyone who has never seen it, it has been on ABC tv a few times.

Always find it interesting to hear what types of music people are into, here is a Jim Moginie article about seeing Kraftwerk in1981 in Melbourne.
https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/no-spray-but-totally-rocking…
Like everyone who saw them he was impressed by the quality of the sound.
I saw them in Sydney and one thing I noticed waiting outside prior to the gig, was the number of musos I saw, Dave Mason from the Reels, the lead singer of the band Pel Mel, the bass player for the band Misex not wearing any shoes as he always did, just to name a few.
Here are 2 other Kraftwerk reviews

DSDS. I remember catching the Section 5 down to Bondi from my mates sesti terrace rental in Surry Hills when I was a grom surf bum in the 80's.
The bus stopped, the door opened and I thought no way this driver was going to let the three barefoot bums on with their boards. But he waved us on.
It was a hot humid day [NE of course]. We squeezed our way down the aisle and I remember looking back and seeing a Suit with wax all over the back of his suit from my board.
Still cracks me up when I think about it today.
I was also stoked to be playing my part in the song.

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.
