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.

this 14 second clip just mentioned on ABC Classic FM..


(what a moment to catch in camera.. 3 giants of Aussie music, Ben Northey catching Claire Edwards' mallet head while rehearsing an Iain Grandage concerto in Tassie.)

I do like an inequality used judiciously. Or even when not.

I have had my annual Hüsker Dü's megahit 'proto-everything-surfers-went-to-see-on-a-thursday-in-coastal-pubs-and-clubs-in-1989-1992' earworn, (I reckon triggered by @stu's Minor Threat post the other day).


(^ it is an enjoyable earworm, always welcome. below is the flipside of the EP, kinda '85 Michael Stipe does Smith Street Band..)

this was an interesting one (for me) a couple of weeks ago.. I had this earworm of less than a second of a thing.. just a harmony, kinda saccharine and bland 2 part harmony with a bit of fuzz around it.. drove me nuts. what was it? I though it was a UK shoegaze thing somewhere between Inspiral Carpets and Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine.. but it kept reminding me of Tism when I thought of it.. I'd locked into completely the wrong type of thing.. turns out it was just a snatch of Frank Black's opening "why..." from Trompe Le Monde..

Need a hand there basesix...
Here's an Inspiral Carpets song that crosses the Atlantic
Doors organ...sounds more like Dandys...tbb falls for it everytime.
Slots into cool alt US vibe... real easy to like...(Was too long & cool for Top 10)
https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/inspiral-carpets-dragging-me-down/
Crosses over whole US/UK/Oz markets without the Star Power.
Sounded cool enough for tbb to buy single back then & still like it now.
Great atmospheric track for Parties...see folk groovin' & tappin' away...etc...
