was listening to some old records on the weekend & this gem was amongst them (well this is a live version from 10 years ago when they were doing 30th anniversary shows)

Saw these guys at the Arthouse in Melbourne in 2009 a week before I got married I have long been a fan but fell out of touch and hadn’t been listening to spermbirds for a long time they were so ducking good there is footage on YouTube of the gig and I can just make out my arm punching the air to something to prove my favourite song great awesome love experience I have always said if I had the money and time I would shoot off to wherever they were playing to experience that feeling again great fucking band

Ha Ha. Tarara boom de ay.
Brought back a memory. Ba-na-nah... Ba-na-na-nah.

Indeed.

This 1967 Track by Canadian Band 'The Media' is more than 20 years ahead of it's time.
Anomalies
*Unusual for Canadian band to have Modern Sound (Big But!) They hit pay dirt when they do!
Example : 1966 Les Talismans - L'Interplanetaire (Sound was not equally matched until - 2006 Muse!)
*Unusual to Label Double A Side...meaning this was likely a polished up experimental track.
*Unusual to have Drummer 'Rick Buckthorpe' as Lead Singer to drive the tune...Man! Did that pay off!
*Unusual to have so many amps to afford drummer a mike & quality amp! Good for them! Wow!
*Unusual - Young Drummer / Band look ultra New Wave ... maybe why song sounds & keeps modern!
*Unusual futuristic unit & sound is impossibly fast tracking the Post New Wave era 20 years too soon!

Single is worth $3,300 > $5,300 (2013)...tbb reckons that sounds too cheap for this ultra rare high quality track!

tbb can't find an equivalent modern composition until 1991 ... Eno / U2 ~ Mysterious Ways
Wotz weirder...'67 track sounds more modern each year as Mysterious Ways dates more each year!
tbb ever argues that raw true sound keeps fresh (vs) outdated over produced tracks sound daggy.
Just love the fact how these guys downplay their track...
Never knowing that one day it 'd be worth more than they could've ever dreamed possible.
Pity the obscure band can't afford to listen to their own record! Problem every band would luv to have!

Bonus : Hang about for the basket of delights mid track...Oh man, is that trip worth a million bucks!

1967 The Media ~ Endless Dream

1991 - U2 ~ (Achtung Baby) Mysterious Ways

sounds unreal t-rex, buggered if i know how i missed that one, might have been out of town or something

with a username of "vordus" that post should come as no surprise!

not bad guitar work. but those constant snare rolls distract from the vibe a bit. sounds like the energiser bunny on a toy drum kit.

I think I confused the dilly sisters with go-go dancer girl that delivers the messages from the sour grapes bunch.

Thats OK I confused the Tra la la song with Ba na na.

Nice work Patrick. The americana trail is a hard habit to kick.

May I present Mr Richard Cheese….

didn't even get close to mr Cheesey, my time in Vegas, all I wanted to be was an audioslave. Long trip to nowhere .

Nice finds everyone... especially those joining in on the themes ;)
Blackers, I noticed Dick changed a couple of words to soften the tone on that last one.

Next up...

I get the sense that Dick likes to keep it nice Patrick.
Anyways. This is also a bit of fun.

I had a Manowar song lined up to post for the transport theme, but the theme ended before I could slip it in there. Now I've just come across this... though it's more a tribute & piss take rather than a cover:

Four play two play

System of a Hoedown

I dont think it ended, just pulled into a layby. Carry on.

One for the transport theme.

Robwilliams...luv that...here's a pair of 'Runaways' L/R Speaker Stacks!

1968 Pleasure Seekers - Mr Power. (15 years ahead of time & still slaughters the Heavy Goth era ).
Alt Top 5 chix Rock Trax > (Massive sound totally crushes today's Alt divas!)
https://quatrorock.com/quatrorock/media/discography/mr-power-2/

1979 Girlschool - Take it all the way ( Punk Metal Pioneers )
Alt Top 10 Chix Rock Trax (Still got a loco full of gritty raw power!) Too hot too handle!

Extra Extra. In news today Vince Vance and his cohort waited 30 years to sue Mariah and hers. Wants a 20 million share of the takings. I reckon Pee Wee Herman might have a claim on it too.

Pleasure seekers we are. (Also known as psyched and on the loose.)

Get on yer boat.

You can chuckle at Jack Robinson’s approach to competition if you like, doubt the veracity of his scores and generally cast a pall over the way he’s thinking outside the box in pursuit of success.

But you can’t argue with his obvious personal turnaround as a man coming to grips with his power over his own destiny. Robbo is taking the bull by the horns and taking control. He might not be responsible for the scores handed down by the judges but he’s taking responsibility for everything else.

Robbo has the EYE

As Leslie Nielsen said in Superhero Movie, "With great power comes...."

Let's go a bit higher again, shall we Blackers?

Good Idea

Blackers my old ipod and memory can't keep up, will see what i got when i have a little more time boat and air wise. So much stuff out there keep it coming, great to check the charts and comments with them on in the back ground what ever they are.
