Tunes
Some tunes to celebrate the wave of the day.
Some things heard this week.
Consume.
I love me a bit of britney. Who doesn't!?
Who wore it better?
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.
Heard today.
^^Nice selection above Rob. ^^

Not bad at all. AW.
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.
Some great insights into the creative process behind one of Talking Heads best albums.

Looks like summer is finally coming down here. It’s been dark, damp and cold for too long.
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

*Sum'mer-time has been & gone now, Nothing left but litter on the sand.
Hotel rooms are ghostly silent, Beaches now are no man's land.
Death of the Seaside ~ Human Instinct
That's the spirit TBB. It's gonna haunt you for the rest of your life.
I'm never agitated, I'm never ever complicated
Time goes by & Time goes by...Uh-huh, Uh-huh!
I'm never in a Mess, I never ever get depressed
Everyday just fades away...I'm one of the Happy People
State of mind is like Paradise, Yes it is!...Gen X.

An ode to the wave of the day.
And some advice for the festive season.

Not even remotely connected to the festive season.
Got another 'reunion' gig coming up this week, with The Undecided - a band I joined around thirty years ago. We only released one EP, but played a lot of fun shows and scored a slot on the first Big Day Out (the infamous forty-degree day at Adelaide Uni Lawns).
The gig is with The Clouds this Friday at The Gov.. really looking forward to it (hope the shingles ease a little over the coming days). Can't wait to see The Clouds too.. they were a staple in the early 90's.
Seems to be a lot of shingles going around
shingles and singles
Fun times. Hard to come across any footage that ages well from back then. Even harder to get much at all.
I spot a 6ft hick kit, and a whole lot of living going on .Get out there, because change is inevitable.
1984 Wollongong Party House host Ian Svegric formed a band with WIN TV party animals
Svegie couldn't sing so was kicked outta his own band & made Manager / Warm Up Comedian.
In true R&R tradition > Svegies Vegies were born & the 'Gong went off!
Band camped > Drummer went on to '90's Brizbands > (Svegies Vegies Reformed in 2014-16)

tbb has never heard of this band until now...2021 Fatbird 24 reply > (7) 1988 Iron Man soundtrack!
Thrash Punks can pull off a wide range of sound.
They reckon they wanted to squeeze in more notes per bar...(Check for Interviews!)
Wow! Great Band...any Hodads hooked on the Svegies Vegies diet
This rates as a dead set shit hot Oz AA single....Bang a 'Gong get it On.
Lonely Trail > sounds like Aussie REM (See also the Telethon Clip)
Just Tell me Lies (Telethon Clip) re: Sounds like Dockers + (Check [f] > 2014 Live version)
couldn't find a "the undecided" track on utube to play, too underground but it's on band camp for those interested. have a good show ben and hope the shingles have left.
Ooh Ahh, up the RA
Songs with a true story, are so much more powerful.
This song based on the prison riot in Brazil which saw 111 untrialled inmates shot dead by militia in Paviolion 9.
And the story of the actual circumstances. Brazil. Crazy crazy country
Guysmiley's stylemasters soundtrack.
psyc
Saw Nick, Warren and the gang at the grand old opry last night. Geez they were good. Crowd was mainly superannuants but the concert hall doesnt lend itself to active participation and neither really did the set list, but awesome none the less. This was a highlight.
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.
