^ amazing the songs you hear in a single liddiard composition..
Indeed.
I'm also mesmerized by his lyrics. They're evocative in a way I can only identify as, erm, Australian.
But it feels weird to say that, like it's a slight.
It's not, I mean that in an effusive way.
How's your band going Ben?
Paul Kelly would've been unreal...did he play much from his latest album? Really dig it.
Got some gigs coming up later in the year (for both Diplomat and Grun) that will be fun.
Actually not sure whether PK played any new tunes.. but I assume there were a few though (I didn't know 'em), they were really good.
Ben's Tunesmiths : "Music to our ears ...that's what the crew wanna hear...Yew! Go for it Ben!"
Waves and dust.
Nice blackers, like it.
Wasn’t there but for (my) old time sakes.

New South Wales.
Northern Territory.
South Australia.

Radium Dolls
Tour dates above people. If you can make a gig you won’t be disappointed.
GEEzus.. at the Grace in Adelaide! band room the size of an average bathroom.. that'd be awesome.. can't get there cos of work.. bugger..
Yeah I can’t do the Solbar next Friday either because of work.
Solbar is a fantastic small venue also. It’s the best to see these guys.
The Satdy gig is an event on the Goldie at Burleigh. Looks good.
a few people fleeing the limestone coast for adelaide to hang at woodville showgrounds this weekend.. the last beer and bbq fest, someone said..?
With those dropping water levels, they’re thirsty.
I wonder if Custard are still good. Geez they were fun back in the day.
still blissed that Dave McCustard is Bluey's dad.. have you watched Celia Pacquola's special..
https://iview.abc.net.au/show/celia-pacquola-i-m-as-surprised-as-you-are
(glad she's still got her strut, the hosting stuff ain't quite her. But she is so much more than just a Utopia actor. In this special she is charming and natural, even with the obligatory vagina talk, parent stuff is funny without cringe, and you leave (watching) feeling her writing and chosen schtick has a lot of genuine heart..)
classic that she f'ed up the Bluey's Mum audition..
Dave is a natural
I’ll have a look at Celia but I bet it’s too vexed.
nah. polar opposite of a judith lucy.
An hour?
You sir are a sadomasochist. Or a glutton for punishment. Or you don’t own a phone.
ha, perhaps all three. you'd give bill burr an hour wouldn't you?
Yup Celia is good value.
Yep and yep.
I like her. Just haven’t done a whole gig.
Short attention span.

Behold as Swellnet Drum Circle winds up Toy Drummers to grant them a third Life.
Drum machines copped a bad wrap in the New Wave Era (They're not the real deal Mate!)
Mission : Is it possible to fool the crew that Drum Machines make Cool Pets...No! No harm in trying!
Punk Drummer tbb is prepared to give it a bash.
First up...History of Drum Machines...Piano Companion > Pet Lap Dog Devices.
Shares the fact that many pianists long recorded with Drum Machines
https://www.thomholmes.com/post/drum-machines-a-recorded-history-part-1-...
Wotz odd is that most Drum Machine Trax exploit real live drummers for live presentation...
That's cool huh...( Reverse ) Being Solo Stars Ditching Drummers for Robot Live Gigs
So...there ya go...A total Flip to what you'd expect...[ puta : Does not Compute! ]
Recording Studio's Toy Drummer sacked > Replaced by real drummer to lend cred to Fake Live Band Tour
Legendary Recording Drummer replaced by Fake Drum Machine on Pop Idol's Tour
No! Ya wouldn't read about it huh...Ben's Tunesmiths' Exclusive revolutionary revelation.
This is a wide open road that US funksters travel as well but it's UK where these Geeks defy logic.
So we can run a part 2 / US version later if it can come alive like this.
Nerdy internet claims when Robin was booted from the Bee Gees he immediately sort sweet revenge.
March 1969 both Poor Robin + Plush Bee Gees recorded rival Pop Chart trax.
Poor miserable Robin was forced to record 2 possibly 4 trax on his Piano's Pet Drum Machine...
Song : Saved by the Bell Video (Beat Club Video) Highlights his nifty Home recording studio.
It's actually a Great Tech Vid but it's all too obvious...there's much more to it than this....
But Yes! If yer into this then it is essential to pause Now...
By all means > Cue "Saved by The Bell" [I started a Joke] (Pisstake) & check out his 1969 Tech scene!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Gibb
https://www.musicradar.com/artists/its-some-of-the-weirdest-most-fascina...
But...Robin swears his A-A Side Track is equally as good & could've been a #1
Ok...now yer talkin' that's a massive audacious pretentious King Of Pop Claim (Lets cue that A/A track...)
Guess wot...Nerd is 100% right..."Mother & Jack" is a much better shit hot pet Robot Track...very Cool!
Yes! Can hear the drum machine as an unashamed Driving Tech Force...very honest new wave sound.
Almost impossible for a King of Pop Nerd to claim that & deliver a faultless $2 Techno Track...Listen!
March / April 1969 : Meanwhile across Town Pink Floyd run a Delsonic Drum Machine at Live Gig...
https://www.flickr.com/photos/cscarlet41/35869244640
The very same Delsonic flies under the radar... 1972 Obscured by Clouds
1978 An Actual Patented Toy : Bee Gees Rhythm Machine > see above...
Of Course this is gonna happen > Along Comes a German Techno Band >
Can't resist an Ultimate Revenge of The Nerds Ironic Hit Maker Toy Drum Machine Pisstake

( puter : Says YES...How ya like Drum Machines Now...Suck shit Drummers...FU...# Kill All Humans....
OMG tbb...that is so fucked up... can we fuck that up further on the Whiteboard...be tbb's pleasure!
Around same time > Justin Heywood admits he used a Click Track to Write The Voice...The Wot?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voice_(The_Moody_Blues_song)
Yes! It's surprisingly an underrated shit Hot Track that flies under the radar...
Drummer Graeme Edge created early '70's Electronic Drum Machines > said he was fine with traitor.
The song was crafted with Click Track but recorded with Edge! (Lost in live translation Ok!)
Hoping for a Big Boom Tish Finish tbb...this better be good [ puta : Affirmative...bring it tbb...said Now! ]
No pressure then...Break the Internet or be banned from it...luv a challenge!
Ok! Would ya believe this Bee Gee Drum Machine Gig gets a 3rd Run at the Charts...(Impossible!)
We gotta Back Track to the very beginning to them Piano Pets...
UK Piano Company "Bentley" Generically branded Bee Gee Robin's Pet Rhythm Ace Robot!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley_Rhythm_Ace
So ya know it makes sense for a Techno band to rip the Name of first unheralded Techno Pop Star...
Yes! As in actually crediting the First Techno Drummer Star!
Bentley Rhythm Ace : Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out...
[Now don't that 3x Bee Gee Hit Drum Machine Pisstake just hit the Spot] = [ ...puta : "I Love it" ]
[Censored]
swellnet Drum circle refuse to grant permission for punk drummer tbb make the claim...Huh!
Reminding tbb is a fully paid up member...
So! Just as tbb promised...Shit Hot Ultimate Drum Machine Track played Live with a real Drummer!
But that's impossible...yer breaking me arse guys...
You said it tbb now bring yer promised Robot Drummer to Life for a big Finish...Boom Tish!
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.
