[The Other Dean]

Awesome album, awesome band.

Cool cover from the expanded version.....

 

[The Other Dean]

kangaspurs - in reference to a band I mentioned in my earlier post - if you like a healthy dose of (mostly on point) left-wing politics in your lyrics, I'd highly recommend checking out skate-punk-meets-hardcore, Swedish band, Satanic Surfers. It's on the lighter side of the hardcore equation, but they play nice and fast and have hella catchy hooks. Very cool band.

 

[The Other Dean]

And finally, an excellent hardcore band I failed to mention earlier....

^ (As above) change of pace....

 

[kangaspurs]

The Other Dean Wow, thank you. That is comprehensive to say the least. You're right, I have heard of a number of those, and listened to a few of them before, but not many. I'll work my way through it as and when I get the chance.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

A nice little piece of Americana by one of the finest songwriters on the planet.

No worries, man. My pleasure.

Here's something you don't see every day.

Broderick Smith doing a MGMT song (with Patience Hodgson from the Grates).






And a gem from the aforementioned....

 

[The Other Dean]

Think I've posted this before, but it's so freaking cool and such a brilliant song that I don't really care.





"I'm like a cripple that's got an itch to scratch
On a limb that ain't there anymore"

Rob Snarski seems to have written a song for The Zurhaar on his new album sparrow and swan but I can't find a vdo.

I WORE NUMBER 44 TO HONOUR HIS NAME

I WORE NUMBER 44 TO MARK THE YEARS HE’D BEEN WITH US

WELL HE TAUGHT ME TO KICK, TO HANDBALL AND MARK

HE SHOWED ME THE GAME TAUGHT ME TO TACKLE FAIR AND HARD

I‘D POLISH MY BOOTS TILL I COULD SEE MY OWN FACE

BLACK AS THE FEATHER OF A SWAN

EAGER TO RUN OUT THAT RACE

I WAS FIERCE AND DETERMINED I WAS WIN AT ALL COSTS

I WAS HARD AND I WAS BRUTAL, WIN, DRAW OR LOSS

I WORE NUMBER 44 TO HONOUR HIS NAME

I WORE NUMBER 44 TO MARK THE YEARS HE’D BEEN WITH US

ADRENALINE COURSING ALL DOWN MY VEINS

HOOPS OVER STRIPES AND THE BOYS THEY CHRISTENED ME AGAIN

ROLL OFF YOUR TONGUE AUSTRALIAN VERNACULAR

A NAME DISAPPROVED OFF BY MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER

I WORE NUMBER 44 TO HONOUR HIS NAME

I WORE NUMBER 44 TO MARK THE YEARS HE’D BEEN WITH US

BEFORE FRED I COULDN’T EVEN CATCH A COLD

MY SPORTING PROWESS WELL IT WAS DISMAL AT BEST

HE TOOK ME UNDER HIS WING AND HE TAUGHT ME THE GAME

WE’D TALK TACTICS ON THE TRAIN ON THE WAY HOME EACH SATURDAY

COACHES MOVES, PLAYERS WHO’D IMPROVED OR WHO NEED TO

WE WERE EXPERTS IN HINDSIGHT, TWO EXPERTS IN HINDSIGHT


TRUE EXPERTS IN HINDSIGHT

NOW I’M RUNNING OFF A HALF-BACK FLANK BREAKING THROUGH THE LINES

SAILING OVER FIELDS OF GREEN, BREAKING THROUGH THE LINES

RUNNING OFF A HALF-BACK FLANK BREAKING THROUGH THE LINES

NO FEAR OR PAIN, NO FEAR

NO FEAR OF PAIN, NO FEAR

I miss this man.

A nice little piece of Americana by one of the finest songwriters on the planet.

On his arm is a tattoo with two lines from this song




Just carry yourself back to me unspoiled
from across that lonesome ocean

[The Other Dean]

Song for Tay-Tay.

(Or maybe that should be 'Song for people who cross Tay Tay'?)

 

[The Other Dean]

A few tracks from my fave Australian release of all time....Sandpit's 'Lessons In Posture' EP.....(later compiled, along with the band's 2nd EP, on the 'The Hunting Picture' album that you see below, released for US audiences)....

 

[SlyCunnington]

Sorry, no tunes.

 

[SlyCunnington]

That last clip with Bons girlfriend puts to bed the legendary drowning in his own vomit falsehood.

[KillaKanga]

And, with Dave at his poetic best and with little screaming Grogg)

Sonic Highways is still a solid album. This is my favourite from the list too.

On a side note I wrote a screenplay with a guy in the States who went to high school with Taylor Hawkins. Every time they play in Australia Taylor leaves 4 A reserve tickets for me at the window. The envelope says 'Guests of Taylor Hawkins'. Never met him but still feels pretty cool rocking up and asking for the tickets.

A reserve is a little more sterile than the moshpit but I don't let that hold me back.

Sensational. While you're in the reserve I'm sweating to death in the fight for survival close to the stage.
