Tunes
Each to their own, I’m sticking to my theme.

The music may be driving and decent, though usually heavily derivative , but any genuine like-ability is neutralised by the preachy undertones. Punk is rebellious. That’s the whole point. If you’re getting rave reviews in The Guardian you’re about as antiestablishment as Diet Pepsi.
wait a minute...if punk is about rebellion. then the punk thing to do is rebel against be rebellious, right? that's why rave was the inheritor of punk, not latter bands playing punk-style music.
Yep. That’s why any music post the 80s which claims to be punk is lying. There’s been plenty of rebellious music since True Punk but none of it is punk music.
When you’ve got pretenders whining about Brexit and calling themselves punk, as is the case above, it’s nothing if not funny.
I hear the initial rave scene was pretty wild.
100% agree Punk and the attitude of punk was really only a thing in it's very early days when its was actually going against the grain but its quickly become the exact opposite of what it was rebelling against and quickly became extremely conformist, had to sound this way, look this way, act this way, and even worse think a certain way.
It was an important movement though most of the best bands have roots in punk and hardcore, and the rest roots in blues.

I wrote these guys off at the time as i was too cool for anything too popular back then, but going back and re listening to bands for streaming mixes, I've come to appreciate some of their stuff, it's aged quick well.
Bush though, sorry still heavy pass on them.
keep driving blacker
who's who at the polling booth?
Is the beach a place?
Good time lapse video.
Good remix.
Very funny rant from John Lydon
no mention of The Saints and others of course....these guys are so insular in their world view

You betcha.
Sadly departed.
Back on track with Blackers. Maybe a nod to the other discussion about punk. What do you reckon? Clash - punk, rock or reggae? .......and who cares anyway? It's like arguing who's more core in the surf.
It's a saturday arvo in with the footy on..... for all of the vicco's
Got no problems, got no wars
And you don't need your brain no more
In Orstralia
Sweet. Speaking of the footy, did anyone catch the welcome to country at the Cats Port match? Astounding didg playing, trying to track it down.
Anyways, a bit of levity from my yoof.

Saw the didge, but sadly didn't pay much attention. Seven Plus replay?
Here's a shameless plug for G Town. MentalBen is an awesome artist too. You might recognise his work.
Cheers icandig, I heard it on the radio broadcast of the game on the way back from the beach, well worth a listen. Norm Stanley was the player. Warped finished for good? Sad days.
Didn't want to corrupt the the election thread...
Ripper autumn day here.
Eclectic as always Rob, loving your contributions.
These guys used to go nuts
Texas, live
Thank you Patrick. I'm glad I live here.
Neat segue icandig.
Dig that bluegrass cover above too Patrick. Worth watching til the end, the look on the guitarist's face as she walks past the camera is priceless. Tiger parents no doubt.
Allow me a short indulgence, fits where my head is at now: much work, little time, gotta race.
It's off one of BB's lesser albums, but HR hollers like a yardie Jeffrey Lee Pierce, and Dr Know's guitar alternately freewheels then crunches through the middle eight. Play loud. Good shit. Here I come, deadlines!
That's ok, you won't be banned
Miami
Mars is a place... too far?

Cheers mate!
I'm tempted to segue into Bad Brains 'Banned in DC' but I'll let it slide...
Mate, that was the segue, hence the Dinah Washington post ;)
I go where I want
Ha ha ha...totally missed it!
I'll blame it on the deadline.
I won't bother saying I followed up your other reference with a gun club song then...
And for those playing at home - roam is a place, I've seen postcards.
But sometimes it is tricky getting there.
Been told by 3 people now that the Angels episode is really good. You will need an ABC Iview account – easy to set up. I plan to watch it on the weekend,
"And for those playing at home - roam is a place, I've seen postcards."
I've actually been to planet Claire. She was a fiery and unpredictable redhead with nurturing maternal instincts. I think she may have been from outerspace - she made regular trips. Out of respect that's all the detail I can give.
Its a ripper song. Glad you can be discrete icandig.

Very good. Friday amusements. Thanks guys.
One more for the road. Travel/transport songs next?
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.
