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.

Not cheap but probably worth it....they've got the headliners mixed up though. Sunnyboys should be top billing.

Ahhh... read the posters wrong. Angels is on a different night.
Saw the Sunnyboys with Painters and Dockers at Torquay a couple of years back....time warp...not only the bands, but some rough heads from eons ago (mine is rougher than most).
Definitely worth shelling out for.

How lucky am I that my dad saw the future and unveiled one of these as a family Christmas present. If only I had kept up my practice, I could have been in esteemed company. On the other hand, this is probably the reason I was leery of electro for so long.

Wikipedia cut and paste below....

The Stylophone is a miniature analog electronic keyboard musical instrument played with a stylus. Invented in 1967 by Brian Jarvis,[1] it entered production in 1968, manufactured by Dubreq.
Some three million Stylophones were sold, mostly as children's toys, but were occasionally used by professional musicians such as Rolf Harris, John Lennon,[2] Kraftwerk and David Bowie.[3]

One of the greatest masterclasses of live drumming you'll ever see or hear. I'm sure Benno Matson will appreciate this one, ;-)
Igor Cavalera and Sepultura, in Barcelona, 1991.
In particular, the closing minute or so, where the intensity builds into a crescendo of breakneck double bass and machine gun drum rolls. As good as drumming gets in my opinion.

Totally appreciate the chops (some of these guys have better feet than most drummers have hands!), but truth be told I've never been a fan of the double-kick metal stuff. Love watching these band live though (spent a few days driving Soulfly around Adelaide when they toured in the early 2000's).

Fark that's sick Ben!! Id imagine theyd b pretty cool cats?
Yeah fair enough, i only really like igors double kicking due to the ferocious rolls he throws in with it. Just makes the kit sound alive. Love his work on the toms particularly.

Blackers just wanted to say its a credit to you how positive you are in regards to all that both you and roadkill are dealing with at the moment. All the best to you both.

You cant't go wrong with a bit of neil and Creedence. I think Creedence was the first band I was introduced that produced and album that every song was a hit. Massive influence on so many musicians and listeners. The fact that so much of the early stuff still stacks up proves what and exciting time it must have been to be a part of. love how all the musicians express a part of society and individual creativity young and old. Ahh expressions of life.

Thanks Rob, I can’t speak for roadkill, but it is my partner who has done the hard yards, I am just there to support her. Currently the outlook is positive and we live with hope as well but also in the moment. The music brings joy, introspection and distraction.
A mate introduced me to CCR and Neil Diamond as we explored the influences of the bands we liked at the time. Both acts were consigned to the tK-ell greatest hits/bargain bin by that stage and it was a real revelation. Great song writing and exceptional musicianship that stand the test of time.

keep bringing the joy, introspection and distraction.

And never fear or dismiss the bargain bin or discarded diamonds.
Another's waste is another's treasure. So often in life.
We are all that we consume. All the best.

Reminiscing over Dark, Cold, Damp Summers...drool!
Goth's dedicate their cold hearted Summer Requiem to blacker's darker side.
Let us come together & pool our dark forces to summon up La Nina Decapeatia

*Feeling easy on the outside, but not so funny on the inside...
And things ain't like wot they used to be & This ain't the Summer of Love ? Blue Oyster Cult

........................................................................................................................

*It's too Close for Comfort, this Heat has got right outta hand.
It's too hot to handle, so I got to get up & go!
It's a Cruel - Cruel Summer ~ Bananarama

....................................................................................................................................

*Hot Town, Summer in the City, back of my neck gettin' Dirt'n Gritty
Been down isn't it a pity, doesn't seem to be a Shadow in the City
All around, people looking Half Dead, Walking on the Sidewalk, Hotter than Match Head.
And Babe, don't you know it's a Pity, that the Days, can't be like the Nights, In The Summer in The City!
~ The Lovin' Spoonful
