Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

on the rare opportunities I get to go skiing, I only take one album to listen to on a tiny old mp3 player (I also only carry blackcurrant fruit-pastilles through the day). It's either Root For Ruin or silence the whole trip. So as soon as I hear this track, I am transported to the chairlift. Makes it my number one opener.

Surprised to see this a new Cure song and album coming, IMHO they havent really done anything decent since maybe Wish, but hey you never know, this song actually sounds okay.

Vocals dont even kick in until 3:29 which i like and then hammer home pretty fast

"this is the end, of every song that we sing"

His voice is still amazing too.

Thanx crew...mental & physical health is rapidly declining...
Right now got roof cleaning guyz smashin' it...transformers crashin' in...fark!

Off to get new health plan for bonus incurable illness...GP is in 7th heaven with his new Cash cow!
Of course...even with Health Care Card this is gonna hurt...Good Health is not for us cheap bastards!

Calls for a Heavy Duty Bens' Tune Up...(Yes, ya can ring yer #*@% Cow Bell...why the fuck not!)

These insane trax are from tbb's private stock / alt '80's Vinyl pile.
Only reason we can dream them up on YouTube...Wow! Is this a rare treat..

1984 End of the world D-Day

1981/82 tbb's band Social Cancer : New World War > Burn Burn Burn > Mutant Army (Got it!)

1982-84 Sci-fi Gothshockabilly was threatening to shock the other half to death.

Kinda like a Goth Sci Fi > Cramps + Rezillos + Tenpole Tudor

1981 Meteors ~ Mutant Rock ( Includes Lyrics to set the scene )
https://genius.com/The-meteors-mutant-rock-lyrics

1984 The Legendary Golden Vampires (Germany) ~ Train kept a rollin'(Cover)
Must read the Coververse back history pedigree on this spin out...

1983 Zanti Misfitz ~ (Includes Band Name origin for Special FX Outer Limits S1 E14 )
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0667850/
"The Last of the Red Hot Lovers" ( That's why a lot of Goth Chix brought the LP )
Request : If any crew can track that down...Please do share for a rare sharp shit hot treat!
https://www.discogs.com/release/1572710-Zanti-Misfitz-Heroes-Are-Go
But this equally Lively seat of yer pants 'Bodgie' type track { Love ends at 8 } Not even on the radar!
tbb dead set thought he was the only daft bastard that caught on...but here's the Vid! (That's Impossible!)

This bizarre song is the core reason tbb is sharing...Like how this rare genre became so absurdly wild...

How wild are we talkin' tbb > Well this pack of Pommie Convicts sound just like us dopey heathens.
Note the Band origin...Earth Penal Colony...(Are these guys slyly taking the piss on Poms in Oz!)
See what the crew think...reckon this sounds like some Dodgy Bodgie southern Oz City Pub Band

Absolutely love this rare breed anarchic Penal Colony Bodgie Bang up!
C'mon crew...that's the most natural sounding Aussie Pommie Pub band you'll never hear...Shh!
(Shit Hot pack of Wild Pommie Bastards stole our Identity!)

Hello TBB

Keep up the great work !

I am wondering how that Mega Reedy Creek Bush Killer Rat , is getting on .

Is he still running amok ?

As U are aware , I seem to miss a lot .

Unlike U , Mr Sherlock Holmes !

Shit , I thought U were a Tubeshooter , 4 a while .

Guessing the Underwear Billabong has been underwater and overhead , a few times 2 .

Please keep reporting in , come rain , hail or shine !

Recently shared seeing then 3 piece band The Cure for free @ Playroom & hung / danced with the Band
Tip : Robert shared he called his Drummer Chocolate Boy...puts a few away he does!

Was gifted Channel 7 Tour Promo Green Record...
A side was LP Length A Forest [5:53]
B side featured locally recorded one off instrumental ( Another Journey by Train ) Cool track...
tbb has # MSD421 (B) Think it was a 500 run

(Gotta understand they weren't a big deal back then!)
So it's not like tbb was meeting Rock Stars...just a UK band of many on tour making a buck...
Recall meeting many Punk bands and even singing on stage with a few...that's what we did!

Shit! These days wouldn't be able to buy a ticket without a Robot app thingy...no idea!

See here a sticker was placed over that [#] > Then Repackaged & sold in NZ in white Jacket
Apparently with a longer [6:42] Remix of A Forest
http://www.thecurerecords.com/record.aspx?id=1339

18 Sept 2024 Same record just SOLD $485
Doubt if that would cover the cost of 2024 2nd hand Cure Concert Ticket...none laughing there!

Ok! tbb thinks he knows why they gave out the Oz batch of Cure records for free (Not 4 sale)
See the odd blemish in the Disc...tbb's Disc has quite a few spots....
Now understand each came out different & likely even more spots on other copies...not a good look!
It is true that some of these early Coloured Vinyl Discs had blemishes...
But! Many cheaper Comps + even free Mag Flexi Discs could release blemish free Coloured Discs
Thinking their manager said No...not paying for that Vomit > Punkz don't mind Vomit on records! Sorted!

Back then...likely to be more of a deal as The Cure were presenting as a new Clean Modern Sound...
Not likely wanting to sell random spotty diseased Green records...just a preliminary take on the freebies!
Guessing the 2nd NZ batch ... was a little more clean'n'green...approved for sale.

Now is the perfect time tbb...just slip it in...
Do it now...you cannot be serious...
Not sure if the crew is ready for it...can they handle the sheer Gravity of such an Earth moving track!

There is no Depression in NZ...Blam Blam Blam
OMG this is the best NZ Track ever...are we gonna...really...Yes! It's Time...
Happy to share NZ Alt Rock Masterpiece....Perfection is worth waiting for...
Play loudest & proudest!
Everyone's talkin' 'bout World War III

I was sure tbb was gonna play that equally epic NZ track...
Sunday Boys by The Screaming Meemees

What about ANDROIDSS ~ Auckland Tonight!

That's not an Android ....We are The Body Electric ~ Pulsing

Oi! No Tag ~ Legalized Dogs

Like what yer hearing...
Loading more from tbb's fav NZ Comp LP : It's Bigger than both of us (NZ singles 1979-82)
Happy to keep diggin' up nuggets from the ditch...luv ya cuz!
