Great review, bang on. We saw them in Sydney and had a similar experience. I’ve never kept my eyes closed so much at a gig, which kind of defeats the purpose I think. You’re right about the vocals being low […]

The first movie I saw him in, also with the gloriously deadpan John Clarke

Primal Scream played Rocks twice at The Metro in Sydney in 1997. No idea how I remember that.

My introduction to UFO, Hebrew always loved this album. Saw them a few times in the 80s, great live band.

I’ve got the original Help album plus a second one called Help: A Day in the Life. Wonder why this one isn’t Help 3.

Bought this on Bandcamp Friday and have ust been listening to it. Lovely stuff for a blustery Sunday morning.

I use the Pro-ject version of the Knosti, but replaced the fluid with L’Art du Son solution. Not that I use it much, never get the time to sit there and do batch cleaning. I use a Flux Hifi brush for a quick […]

Going to see them on Saturday. They played this in Melbourne so fingers crossed.

I rarely chat to strangers, except for last night at The Necks gig at the City Recital Hall. We had a good old chinwag before and in between sets about music and travel, and asked such deep and probing questions […]

Haven’t seen them since the Moving Pictures tour (still have the program somewhere). Apart from living on the other side of the world, I can’t pay they sort of money to see 2/3rd of one of my favourite bands. I’m […]

Bought the live album, but will probably skip the others as I don’t have 5.1 or Atmos. I’m interested in hearing the difference between the stereo and binaural mix. The price isn’t bad for what you get, […]

We went to Japan last year. A very last minute decision, so we did the ‘tourist run’, a few days in Tokyo and Kyoto. Had a fantastic time, barely scratched the surface of things to do. We went at the end of […]

Never saw The Oils but saw him play with Jim Moginie, Martin Rotsey and Brian Ritchie in surf rock band The Break. Great drummer and a great entertainer, he was definitely the front man in that band.

Emptied and cleaned every drawer and cupboard in the kitchen and pulled out and cleaned behind the dishwasher and fridge in preparation for the bug guy coming on Monday. Cockroaches are our true lords and masters […]

I’ve warmed to tribute bands over the years. I’ve seen The Smythes three times, playing all the songs I’d never get to hear live. The singer does a good Morrissey’s and the musicians are good enough to carry it […]

Coincidentally I’m wearing my Eastside FM subscriber t-shirt today. What show do you present? Haven’t lived over that way for a long time, but it’s a go-to spot for our overseas visitors. Always a vibrant […]

I hate trying to rank them, it could be completely different by next week. Although I think the top 6 are pretty solid. 1. Suede – Antidepressants 2. The Necks – Disquiet 3. Sinskuke Fujieda Group – Fukus […]

I can’t be beaten on steering wheel drums.

Following a theme early on in the thread. I’m 58 and still don’t know what I want to do. I joined the public service nearly 40 years ago and have stayed there ever since largely doing the same type of work, only […]
