I like Green on Red doing a little ditty called "Little things in life" but I am interweb dumb and cant post utube stuff so you will just have to imagine how obscure and how brilliant it is.

George Kranz - Din Daa Daa

This is a song I loved back from my youth in the 80s but I still think it rocks. IMO it hasn't aged like a lot of 80s music.

And on a totally different style I still love this one by Billy Field

I was reminded of this song by the username below me.

Dear God by XTC is a beauty!


Town with no Cheer – Tom Waits from 1983, a lot rougher than your bluesy clip from ’74. But I love this track, as it brings back memories when I was working for Vic Rail, relieved in Ouyen around the same time this was released.

Well it's hotter 'n blazes and all the long faces
there'll be no oasis for a dry local grazier
there'll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo
from Melbourne to Adelaide on the overlander
with newfangled buffet cars and faster locomotives
the train stopped in Serviceton less and less often
There's nothing sadder than a town with no cheer
Voc Rail decided the canteen was no longer necessary there
no spirits, no bilge water and 80 dry locals
and the high noon sun beats a hundred and four
there's a hummingbird trapped in a closed down shoe store

This tiny Victorian roo bar
kept the watering hole open for sixty five years
now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st
wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
the train smokes down the xylophone
there'll be no stopping here
all ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer
no Bourbon, no Branch water
though the townspeople here
fought her Vic Rail decree tooth and nail
now it's boilin' in a miserable March 21 st
wrapped the hills in a blanket of Patterson's curse
the train smokes down the xylophone
there'll be no stopping here
all ya can be is thirsty in a town with no cheer

Yes it is.

Aesthetic Perfection toured in Feb and he performed Forever from that album.

To bad he he has only released the one cd as Necessary Response because i thought it was bloody good.
In fact was only listening to it the other day in the work van.
