Love that music.......
This just blew my mind. His lyrics and rhymes are next level
Having one of those days....
"I'm a coffee guy in a stoner place...too many lazy morons in my face..."

And with that off my chest, time to chill.

Anything Tim/Scott/Polyhpia is actually ridiculous and makes me want to both practice and quit guitar.
Amaning stuff Sprout.
Looks like it may have been sped up a touch though.
Watch their live stuff, it's not sped up, he's just fucking insane. It's all so clean! I've started learning Tim's part on G.O.A.T. If I can get close in a year I'll be happy.
Returned to this album over the last few days due to a few long highway miles. Opening reminds me of early Metallica, some of the latter riffs remind me of early Tumbleweed.
Gotta be in the right headspace to appreciate the intricacies of the playing and the production - 'tis a long song, and needs to be played at volume too.. some great variation in the guitar distortion.
Speaking of appreciating the intricacies of the playing and production …
… and needing to be played at volume ;)

Haha. Too much soulless guitar hero noodling and bombastic majesty of rock!
K.I.S.S

Yeeha! Saw Obituary just pre-Covid. Still got it. Still got impressive hair!
They played with these units from Singapore.. Simpler times.

Today's Good Weekend has a great story on Robert Forster ostensibly about his wife's cancer diagnosis but delving into the Go Betweens' long and winding history. Worth a read if you dig the band, or even the author, Lech Blaine.

Thanks Stu. Definitely one of Aust's most underrated / underappreciated bands. There's a fair bit in that article to digest. - Well written and researched too. (Was unaware of Lech Blaine until now). I've also got a bit of catching up to do....plenty of Go Betweens / Robert Forster stuff to explore.
thanks for the heads-up Stu, that was a good read. It has just inspired another dig into the Go-Betweens' catalogue. Always good.
Great piece by Lech Blaine, he nails it again and again.
"They were too sloppy to be pop stars, and too feminine to be testosterone-fuelled rock stars. Too Australian overseas, too cosmopolitan for the local market."
But that quirky sound, for me, defined what were bohemian pockets in inner-city Brisbane at the time.
Ramshackle Queenslanders and the shabby workers' cottages of West End and Auchenflower before gentrification moved in.
And if Steve Kilbey says 16 Lovers Lane is one of the greatest albums ever made, who are we to argue.
After all, songs like Clouds and I'm Allright sound like striped sunlight.
An artist worthy of further investigation.
I don’t know about that

Eclectic mix as always Rob, digging it.

shock jocks, shuttle cocks and whittling
A Friday night song on a Sunday evening.
Did someone sputter on about '...isms'?
Still rocking @ 60 +...

Are you going to see them? Some interesting discussion about the gigs.

I'm assuming you're talking about Chilli Peppers Blackers? Not going to see them this time around - saw them at Mount Duneed in 2019. I'm generally not a fan of 'festival' style gigs or big stadiums - prefer pubs and smaller venues. Once is enough and I'm glad I got tick one off the bucket list. I've seen some of the hoo ha about the set list....but I think they've taken that on board and fixed it. Just waiting for RATM to reform....that would get me back to a stadium.
Ah yes I was, got snaked by the great Dave Graney. Agree about stadia, closest I've come to that is Nick Cave at the Opera House. Prefer a sweaty pub, band room or hall to be honest. Which limits the acts I see. Not sure ragtm will ever reform, I thought the bad blood ran too deep.
wishful thinkin...back in the day I did plenty of festivals, but they wear me out too much now. Can still muster a bit of drunken energy for a pub gig though - I like the atmosphere better too.
Lagwagon singer Joey Cape is touring Aus by himself or perhaps with a drummer too but as always is bypassing Perth.West oz gets the rough end of the stick sometimes when it comes to tours..But at least West Oz seems to have a very high population of quality musicians growing up here.
As for icandig and blackers on festivals, glad i can relate to that, big day outs did my head in and couldn't describe why, they always just did.Even on quality mdma etc just didnt like them, boiler room was alright i guess with Underworld, Fat boy slim, Dave Clarke, NOFX at one and a few others like Luke Slater..But always preferred clubs or warehouses, or even bush doofs...All time fave though is Greenwood hotel for the talent on tap , good music diff genre every day of the week..and friendly people, some dicks competing for the talent sometimes though but most of the time good vibes all around.
it's your wave, go groundie go

Thanks RobW. Weak is a fave track from Hoss, great album, almost every track is good on that album.
Check out double PLAIDinum if you havne't before, its my fave from them, and i capitalised the plaid because many people think they sold out and over produced that album getting double PLATINUM sales when they were just joking about PLAID clothing/and platinum albums.....Anyway well tidy album my fave from them.
They were offered many record deals with bigger labels but decided to stay with Fat wreck and keep their freedom and sound the way it should be developed.
too easy groundie, hope your looking after your self. You can have the next bomb too. love your passion as much as I love mason ho's edits. That's what it's about.
My favourite radio show is on, with old mate Neil spinning the discs. Some rippers from the set list.
Nice tunes Blackers haven't heard of those bunch before.

Haha next bomb i hope will be soon i hope, last i checked forecast is pretty dim here but thanks for the kind words and i think i may know you, not sure just the way you talk and taste in music..Looking after myself, drinking a little sometimes still, but cut it out a HEAP and off fat causing meds- trying to not be a middle aged fat alco has been- that never really was, and get back into good waves before i really have no chance again..
Kind of over did youth party days to be honest i think.But still thinking and honestly feel like this towns peaceful nature these days (was rough on some in 80's/90's)and low crime rate,not doing illegal drugs or getting involved in drug related activities, no police choppers to get paranoid about, hardly any great whites ever seen and mostly good people around here have made me feel like have made a near recovery from over doing the party days a bit and a mental illness.
Anyway hope you are getting waves where ever you are, if you are who i think you could be it would be deadmans and winki at Manly but could be completely wrong.If not wrong the Ulladulla days and Bawley point years were as good a time as any had in indo thanks a heap to your hospitality.
Geez Forster seems like an awkward kinda guy. Good muso though.
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.
