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.

Going old school. Surprisingly fresh.

And just because.

Weird Songs that do yer head in...should not even exist...truly mental Trax!
Lincolnshire Anthem (Poaching Song)
Tune is as least 250 years old & has more covers than that...
Sounds rather innocent & is a quality little singalong ditty.

But it gets a little weirder when weird arse people trip out the tune.
Possibly coz it's mostly sung when pissed > Then they come up with these craziest covers.
If yer into Twilight Zone Trax then try yer luck with this Folk / DrWho / Pub-Punk Track

Original Folk Version

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(song)
tbb was trawling thru Oz Charts & come upon this novel moral tune...
Jan 1951 "The Thing" #1 Oz Charting Song (Same Lyrics as Batman's Punk version)
Which led to fleshing this out ...thru a weird arse Time Warp of even Weirder Mutations.

Feb 1951 Tingen by Jens og Erik

&t=1s

1958 Flying Saucer / Alien Chipmunks by Bill Buchanan

Mid 70's Dystopian Techno "Underground Cult Version"
( Just go with it... then...Oh! Yeah...see wot ya mean! ) Wow! That's pretty fucked up...Huh!
Wait until the end...simply reverts back to the Ditty...Techno Goth Chick be like Wot..."That RAVE Code...Wot!"

12 Jan 2018 / 1960's Batman's Grotesque Punk Thing Version

A bit of royalty passed today, the frontman of the Clowns.
@thermalben, pretty sure whenever i bumped into you in the city we were both either coming or going form a Clowns gig.
Absolutely legendary band and i know most South ozzies would have some fond memories of this band and it's phenomenal frontman. Rest in peace Mark Fenech, AKA Ocker Bozo. Voice of a generation really.
