Take on Me? Bette Davis Eyes? Total Eclipse of the Heart? Boys of Summer?

The mistaken identity one has me intrigued. Is it a sample where it has been used relatively unaltered? Bass line in Ice Ice Baby/Another one Bites the Dust? Riff in U Can’t Touch This/Super Freak? For the […]

The guitar break in Whole Lotta Love? The first theremin howl in Good Vibrations? The start of Tutti Frutti? I think you excluded the Beatles, but I am surprised that the ‘ah’s from A Day In The Life didn’t make it.

Drummer for my favourite era of Miles. Incredible.

53 here and out local variant was: Jesus Christ, Superstar Riding down the road on his Yamaha Cops were there, he don’t care ‘Cause he’s wearing supersonic underwear.

The Mauritian Badminton Doubles Champion, 1903 – Hamish Hawk

The vast majority here are 18+. It’s the first gig I’ve been to in years that is all ages.

TWYLD is a wonderful detour as we journey through the mind of the protagonist. It’s the idealised dream of love. I know it’s heresy to suggest, but the track I skip most often is Cyprus Avenue. It’s a strai […]

Love them both where they are.

Not sure why they would wait until 2028 for this. If I were a record company wanting another harvest from a legacy act I’d get product to the market ASAP. Every year they wait the market contracts further.

I had that on a Guitar Player flexi disc when I was at school, and spent a long and fruitless time trying to learn it. Then I found out it was sped up on the soundtrack.

IT guys sail very close to their stereotypes. Some time ago I had taken my laptop in to the IT department to sort out something or other, and sat for a while next to the young, obese, neck-bearded, malodorous, […]

Having an 84 year old parent, I was stunned by how active GC was during the gig. As I said, he was mostly on his feet for the gig. The crowd overall was rapturous and very high energy. Yes, Michael Hampton has […]

I was at the afore-mentioned Brisbane gig, which was a standing venue, and the atmosphere may have been a bit more vibrant. GC was off his chair for a good 60-70% of the night. The real casualty was other original […]

Was Chris Martin in Yello? Fuck me.

Great points, Bingo. I’ve had similar experiences in the workplace, including an especially painful 4-hour cultural heritage workshop (mandatory annual training) where an Aboriginal lady repeatedly said stuff […]

It seems the movement in the UK is far more skinhead/football hooligan-centred than here in Australia. We have our share of that, but I suspect most of the support over here is from scared, ignorant people worried […]

The issue of why young, white males are flocking to the right is pretty easy to decode: they have been burdened their entire, short lives with the message that everything is their fault. The cause of every […]
