Tunes
An uplifting tale of joy .
Dig it. Cool slice of Americana.
Came across this thanks to NPR's All Songs Considered a while back and listening to it lots. A countrified David Bowie Sweet Thing/Candidate vibe came to mind.
Nice, Roker. The Handsomes have got that American gothic vibe sorted. Great filum clips as well.

Saw them play in 2007. Magic show. Great stage banter too.
thanks Blackers, you've sent me down a bit of a gothic americana dirty swamp folky blues rabbit hole which I'm enjoying. Farmageddon Records looks to host some apt bands
My pleasure GreenJam, could be a lot worse rabbit holes to head down given the traffic in some of the other forums at the moment.
Try this.
Really enjoying the two The Handsome Family tracks posted by blackers. I’ll be diving deeper into their stuff too.
Tim Rogers lead vocals on the new Hard On's album.
Hmmm i like early You Am I and i like some Hard on's stuff, but really listening to the first single i think maybe they should have released this under a different band name.
Much prefer this :D
fark. thanks for posting ID. I reckon this is awesome.
The lockdown zeitgeist?
Another take on lockdown.
And like lockdown becomes almost unbearable pretty quickly.
yeah, nah on that new Hard-ons one Indo. Doesnt do it for me either, and I was a big fan of their early stuff.
and where's Keish gone?
and good one san Guine - there's a certain heavy/depressing element to the Powder Monkeys stuff, I definitely dont put that cd on for an uplifting experience. Still some good stuff, just a heavy smack influence I guess

Tennis coach in Thirroul.
I'm not shitting.
This song makes me feel like a hot lesbian keeps me relaxed..pretty soft taste for me these days compared to when i was right into thrash or punk rock.Might be why i dont charge big waves any more too.
Groundy you will like this if you are a mellowed Punk....
Really enjoyed that Udo thanks.
thanks Stu - that's a surprise.
and I never got around to seeing that Hard-ons doco that was out (was it last year?) - anyone know if that's available anywhere?
@Greenjam, the doco has been pulled, and issues for Keish.

One of my favourite bands new album is out today! Some great tunes, best described as alternative keyboard/guitar synth mixed with Tim's smooth vocals.
thanks for the update blackers. That's no good, on both counts.

Mark's voice sounded familiar. Vocals on this Minor Victories track....
Metal dude goes country. Sounds like Nick Cave.
Cool
That Just fooled the Wife ...is that Nicks new one she said..
Charlies best performance? R.I.P
RIP Charlie Watts.
Cheers Snuff, hadn't heard that song in years and didn't realise how much of a cool track it is.
Stray Cat Blues and Sympathy For The Devil.
Jumpin Jack Flash from Charlie’s perspective thanks to Martin Scorsese.
clearly they would have been fucked without him
Another great drummer who left us too soon.

Thanks SG, am now listening to The Hollies on Spotify. Memories from my childhood when my Dad would put it on the record player.
Cool Craig, love the old pops.
'The Air that I Breathe' personal Hollies fave.
Yeah, I rather He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.
Great track too Bro'.
Now onto Dire Straits.
Craig wrote:Now onto Dire Straits.
For me Dire Straits are one of those bands i rarely listen to, and when you flick through albums looking for something to listen to its always like yeah/nah, then one day for some reason you go yeah okay lets throw it on, and when you do it's like OMG i forgot how good this is and the emotion it stirs up inside with every note or lyric almost brings a tear of joy to the eye.
Well thats how it is for me.
I'm the same ID - I forget how much I like them until I listen to them again.
To be able to play like Mark Knopfler...

Let your freak flag fly .............
May have mentioned this before, but give early Roxy Music a go. They were far out, great musicians, and Bryan Ferry was a wild man beast of a singer.
Viva! , their live album, is packed with gems, and bristling with energy.

"For your Pleasure" Roxy Music one of the all time greatest records forever linked for me with my early summers of surfing:
The Strand
&t=38sand the mystical slow build track Strictly Confidential
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.
