RIP Slim Whittle - listened to RRR today and they played a thirty minute segment from the Whittle family circa 1981, then Dr Turf reminiscing about the formation of Punter to Punter

Cats & Dogs was one of my favourite albums and is still a great listen. RIP Greedy

can't fault that cool stasi beat

like gongs!

Yeah Billy Bragg is pretty cool, I used to see him on a pretty regularly basis. I've got a couple of his more unusual tracks as well floating around, covers of 'Back in the USSR' and 'The Funky Gibbon'.

scraping foetus off the wheel

Off the top of my head;- Ask The Queen is Dead Hand in Glove (with Sandie Shaw) Bigmouth strikes again

Good to see a well written post for a change (and I'm not referring to you specifically) While I can see where your argument is coming from, I do find it a bit precious. Punk was great, but to say it lasted till Nirvana is simply wrong. IT was well a truly dead 12 years before Nirvana hit...

Worthy number 1, while it was neither the biggest seller, nor the best, nor even totally original, it was the breakthrough of the whole alternate scene onto the mainstream charts. It did do very well in the charts with Nevermind staying in Billboards top 200 for almost 5 years. It made...

It'd have to be Elvis, he was huge in a huge market over a long time. Beatles were relatively short-lived and did not have the same impact in the states. In other parts of the globe, it would be fairly even though. That says nothing about who was the better musical act.

The best music 1/. Jungle Book - "I wanna be like you" and "bare necessities" 2/. Aristocats - "ev'rybody wants to be a cat" and "thomas O'malley Cat" daylight etc

Sid Vicious - My Way

While he wasn't well known in Australia, John Peel was the best radio DJ in the UK playing the only decent music in Britain, his role in bringing bands like The Cure to popular attention. He was always pushing the cause of good music forward while despising manufactured pop. And of course...

Being brought in Geelong, I used to go to the Barwon Club pretty regularly. For a while there they had a pretty good selection of bands playing the venue from the Hard Ons and TISM to Mudhoney and Dinosaur Jnr (IIRC).

Other fav venues that are sadly no more include The Venue, The Old Greek Theatre and The Seaview Ballroom

Used to occasionally go to GB's on a Monday night more than 10 years ago where Kim Salmon and his backing band (the dirty three) used to do shows, it was either free or $2.

Ben Folds arranged and produced it, it's his baby, but it's Joe Jackson doing the vocals that bring it up a gear.

Not a fan of Metallica myself, although I have a decent respect for them, but I found this article interesting; Enter soundman One's a funny heavy metal act. The other is Spinal Tap. A new documentary finds Metallica increasingly resembling the satirical rockers. John Robinson tries to spot...

The thing about punk, is that it is a 70's thing. Bands today ike Green Day, Offspring etc may play in that style, but really punk died by 1980. This is because before the 'punk' bands like the pistols or the Ramones, rock was very safe. You had disco like the Jacksons, or 'BIG' rock 'n' roll...

I think it might have been Split Enz - True Colours

That version is getting overplayed on some stations. Interested in hearing that whole album - 'Has Been', a collaboration between Ben Folds and William Shatner with some other guest artists, notably Henry Rollins. An eclectic gathering to say the least.

He didn't know what the song was about, and when he found out, refused to perform it. I wonder what Tommy's insurance premiums are like?

I had always hoped Weird Al's Polka your eyes out was a parody of the Angry Samoans' Poke your eyes out, but than I found out it wasn't. Pity.

The Pixies at least reformed for the right reason, 'money'. None of this pretentious 'we are still relevant BS'. Once the Pixies current tour ends, they'll go there seperate ways, especially considering they hate each others guts (not that a detail like that stopped the Ramones over 15 years)...

That was with the 'rip off the dress' move if my memory serves me correctly. A high point of trash culture.
