"Feel free to let me know what you think of them, either positive or negative.
I have done most of this in my cave so it would be nice to see the world out there thinks of them!"

Now because it's personal...
& because tbb has been' round the block...that warrants a deep dive...
swellnet drum circle will run Gold Standard Diagnostics...it won't hurt...
Meaning we let the music do the talking...
We'll cue some trax that yer sound evokes & surf.rat can fine tune that!

Firstly we're stoked that any band called { Protention } should choose our Pit crew.

Protention : (Germanic) Anticipation of a unique future conscious awareness of time!
Kinda like Fans being so excited that the hype blocks all memory of attending best ever gig!

tbb did experiment with self recording pre & post punk bands.
Recording Video Games/ Vacuum / Bike Wheels / Coin Jars / Tape Looping Movie Scores
We did run some sound FX to start songs.

Kinda reading harder capitals [PROTENTION]

(Detecting 1970's Oz Prog Bands)
Above Ben's tunesmiths mention good timing...coz...
Oz Prog CYBOTRON have launched back Catalogue
That's 4 LP's for PROTENTION to source...

@TBB
Thanks for the pitstop and service. After listening to all the crazy music you posted I am starting to feel my music is less odd than I thought. :)

Here ya go surf.rat...if yer hanging out for more...
tbb has a little extra time than 9-5 crew...Ok to Take 5.
Can run thru each track by association from instrumental fan's perspective!
*Tremolo (UK Early '80's Arctic Concept -Dome)
Bronze Cowboys [Echoes] (UK Early '80's Dub - New Age Steppers) Private Armies
Soldier On (2000's Commercial-Video Piracy Ad / Stop the Rock)
Main God (UK Early '80's Cult Goth -Shriekback) Lined Up.
Prophet (Industrial Goth -9 inch nails / Manson)
*Friday (1972 Spaced out Prog Quad Synth Rock LP's)

*More tbb's kinda groove...like the journey..
Goldie Punkz used to trip out on this track...[2:50] Haunting Voice / warning...Coolest Mind Drool.

fark @Goldie tbb has some tricks.. and the private armies addition.. (not to mention the pirates), based on the private armies sounds, some hump-day mellow fun:

for the phaser (listen to the snare tone cycle gradually):

(that top one @surf.rat, susumu yokota (rip), the master,
i'd go, um.. 'operatic found-sound ambient pastiche'
for the albums of his below.. damon albarn's wet dream..

if you have a beanbag and a mellow headspace handy sometime, give these a listen, sakura (2000), and and the boy and the tree (2002).. full albums:

Great stuff basesix...New Age Steppers had some magic tricks alright
tbb chanced the LP on the epic bone pointing > Fade Away single...have LP/Single set.
Scored that Private Armies as a Reward for respecting the message.
Crew should check Vid / LP + Love Forever...but tbb has no say in the matter...

Ari Up's intervention overrides Goldie Punkz tripout devotion
2009 Feral Slits dedication wins the Gold Mushie Award for earthy Hippie Chix cred...
Fuckin' stoked to dig up this Feral Hippie Chix Yard Punk Gold Mushie Rummage
Go fetch the Pot...sip on this brew crew...feel better now!
This is about as real as the Up You / FU message can get...
Aint not steppin' around this Mother Earth Anthem.
Recapping > 30 years on the Slits reunite to dig up New Age Steppers {World Ultimatum}
Point the bone at all us less than worthy Punkz & Hippies...for the cause of course!

this episode of spick n specks shows Ari Up having a very, very nice time during the Slits' March 2007 Oz tour. Even Weird Al is relaxed and non-acerbic (though the exchange between him and Ari at 10:40 is a crack up.. more sardonic than acerbic). Good episode. Yankovic palindrome song to finish.

congrats to mid-coast jack and tom, daybed records, rolling the dice again:

fiddy bucks.. doing it? nostalgia single launch at the zoo?

Crowbar took over the Zoo. Thank you Crowbar!

Such a historic venue!!!!

TBB we can go to the Goldie gig. I’m there for you brother including any support needs.

It would tickle me pink!!!

Wow! seeds your healing kind are so precious & few and a rare breed at that.
Please understand tbb is actually sicker than he lets on...
Said this...& actually meant to say it...no glossing over the fact!
[30th Nov tbb : Be stoked to attend the Chemist or me 2 Heart Tests between now & then!]
Such a pathetic thing to say...but tbb is telling it how it is...it's as pathetically sad as it sounds.
Seeds : Sorry to hear that TBB!

Wed 4th Nov tbb arrives for first of them 2 Tests..."No mate sorry!"...
Please! C'mon now...already just been in Ambos 3 weeks in a row & now refused a Heart Test?
Please do not call another Ambo...being serious here...No...Just No! Call the Cops or anyone else!

Pause to consider how ill ya gotta be...already said tbb was too ill to dial [000] for 4th Ambo...
That was to avoid another mystery Hospital Bug...
tbb was saying he actually self prescribed anti inflammatory drugs to simply breathe...
Well that just went a little further off the ward chart...shh!

Anyhow...Now impossibly informed that tbb is too ill for a Heart Test...(Just Shoot me!)
How is this Possible...like tbb got himself there & on time with out his usual Fleet of Ambos.

The Heart Clinician strangely asked tbb if he even knew when his heart was in A Fib...(err...Nope!)
Ok! Then she hands tbb double strength Heart meds & said have a little lie down...
Hour or so later ...tbb was groggy but in stasis for this CT Heart Test...

tbb is afraid to say each time he leaves the House...
Get a choice of Doping tbb out on Double strength Heart tabs / Spiking tbb's drink or Dial [000]
Sounds like a pathetic choice but thems the breaks kid...
On top of double strength Heart Meds...to knock tbb out...recommended.

Remind the Ambo that tbb is self dosing Double Strength Ibuprofen with...
With a dose of some crazy > Must Take these taboo Antibiotics with food?
GP only recently informed that means "Extra strong Antibiotics...Try another brand please!"
Recall Doc argued against prescribing this Brand not once but twice...
(Correct!) tbb drove back twice...just to score this contraband script...

But then the Hospital period kicked in & tbb is sporting a whole new Drug regime...
tbb was puffed out uprooting his hoarder's ***** hovel until he dug out that 5 week old script.
Where...in a Decaying growing pile of Meds that GP refuses to take back...says to hang onto them?
Convinced the Pharmacist Antibiotics was for tbb's Cellulitis...can easily show them ...see...well durr!
But tbb is less worried 'about his vile red sore infected swollen aching legs...
Taking the heavy drugs to kill off the Hospital Bug...working just fine thanks!
Can not only breathe better but starting to shake the bug...please don't dob tbb in...!
Warning to Gromz...Please don't try acting all mental like...by trying to kill yerself with meds at home...
That's tbb's job...

Saying it again Seeds...if ya plan to take tbb out Ya actually risk taking tbb out.
As yer friend...can't let ya risk such grave consequence & pay the ultimate price...not now never!
Please no one...get any ideas that this is a cry for help...just laying the cards on the table...
If crew wanna see how mental illness plays out...there ya go...perfect example of ill person/sick mind!

Say it again that crew are the best medicine...not saying it lightly...seeds is healing tbb real fast!
Prepared to kick down the door @ Qld's #1 Doped Out Hovel to punk out with his dead mate Bernie.
Like OMG...all stand testament ... that's a truly healthy Gold Label friendly gesture if ever there was...
As woefully predicted...
Pathetically weak tbb impossibly failed both his miserable Chemist Test + Heart Test...
Now risks failing seed's perfectly absurdly off the charts insane w/e with Bernie Test!

Can his best mate convince Qld Health that tbb will be fine for his supervised punk mosh pit Test!
Not entirely impossible...

tbb once got a Pass Out from a Mental Home for a Gig...think tbb made that up...(Nope!)
How! tbb convinced Qld Health he was the Band's Groupie / Roadie & was essential to Gig (True!)
Said we could trial Mental Health ward of the State breakthru therapy...let's do this...Really!...So Cool!
Band was fuckin' stoked that a Mental Patient would break out to attend their Gig...Shit Hot Promo!
Escorted back into the compound at Midnite with 2 beefy security Guards...ya don't forget them Gigs!

Holler 4 Huey WOTD ~~~~^~~~~~/'~~~~~/\~~~~~/(~~~~ /(C'..[seeds)

Cue #1swellnet frontline exotic chiko chick therapy to cool down a hot steamy Qldurr bromance

And That Band that tbb broke outta the Mental Home to see...Kiara Jack of course!
Well it was two bands actually but tbb was Kiara's Artist + Roadie & wannabe groupie for both / any.

Can even share tbb's outpatient Ward Round...Gold Pass to this mystical break out gig!

People say we're Dreamers...Kiara sends her love...spread the Healing Vibes!

All good TBB
I’m hoping you are mentally well with all your health problems.
Stay strong brother.

Sounds like you have a lot of issues there TBB
Good luck with everything

I’m sure a few of you watched this tonight.
Was fantastic. Footage and storyline was nothing I’ve seen before.
https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/electric-lady-studios-a-jimi-hendr...

Will have to watch that i love Hendrix.

I could probably put this in another thread, but its kind of interesting from a music aspect too, homeless camp on the edge of a city in the bush, and what gets them by, is jamming (they steal electricity some how)

Very well shot and presented too and the little snippets of music i assume are theirs which sound really cool.

Hendrix trivia: when the first acetate press of Electric Ladyland came back from the technicians, the label said Electric Landlady.

True story.

On now for NSW VIC on NITV
Poly Styrene: I Am Cliche
Doco via her daughter. If it’s the one I’ve seen before it’s quite interesting.
Remember OnDemand

Thanx seeds...massive X-Ray Spex fan love Poly Styrene's song writing.

Her playful bipolar tunes ring similar to percussion single Temma Harbour.
Likewise tbb's bipolar seeks out similar...can't help but relate & crave more!

Watch how the illness unfolds here...just had to track who wrote / composed this...
Coz he's light years ahead of Top of the Pops...next level ultra insightful playful Artist.
Like Poly...lives out a perfectly innocent childlike dream as if yer allowed to...FFS! Wake Up!
Err...Hey mate...ya know it's impossible to daydream that much...go pick another career!

Thought to track down the original songwriter of Temma Harbour.
Philamore Lincoln is his weird name... a very creative tripolar type
Drummer mixed 3 of his Fav drummers to get his name > Off the Charts!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Kinorra
Just touches stuff with a wand & it grows a whole new sound...like Magic!
Great Write up > Can click image to get a Photo...
https://insheepsclothinghifi.com/album/philamore-lincoln/
Beautiful Voice drifts thru natural layered tones of swirling dimensions.

Impossible to think this guy still flies under the radar...Amazing!
There's actual reviews stating this...no one knows anything about him...whatever...Wow!

Like tbb said...seeking out kindred souls that are on another wavelength...
Early Sherwood (His Home Town) is a perfect example of this bipolar like Wonderstuff.
It's supposed to go off the rails but the Dude impossibly stamps his signature on each new sound.
All his songs are tapestries knitting impossible harmony...but each carry natural tone.

Same dude moonlights as Singer Drummer in his own 1967 Jam Band.
Just like Poly ...produces a Prog Band & grew disillusioned with industry & hung it up.
Prog band Paladin LP has Epic reviews....Way out production level...really! Insane!
Any here into next level Prog Super Group Metal...give that a spin...a sleeper! Shh!
Possible the dude is one of the best producers...seriously explosive stuff...Wow!
Another songwriter / composer / producer way too far ahead of the game...
Grew tired of waiting 40-50 years for world to catch up!

One man blackened death metal HAIDUK

That was interesting @Indo.
Geez it’d be tough in winter.
I would have liked to see more of the music performances.
ps. How’s old mates son who visits his dad at the camp. Certainly not your usual father son relationship. Great to see though.

Imagine trying to keep everything dry in storms etc and also just secure from theft, there must be someone there pretty much all the time.

I enjoyed it too Indo.

Always helpful to be quietly reminded sometimes how lucky/fortunate/blessed I am.

Richard Clapton on lead 1989

I like watching these YT clips about reactions of these so called tribal people. This one’s about a song so I’ll plonk it here. (if anyone wants to give up 20 minutes) Top left fella be dancing at his local gigs for sure!

At least those ones are likely to be real, unlike the ones you see where music teacher reacts to hearing Jimi Hendrix little wing for the first time, or random 25 year old USA guy reacts to hearing Nirvana teen spirit for the first time.

Yeah those are fake as. Mostly, these ‘tribal guys’ ones are usually about trying some western (often junk) food for the first time reactions.

These guys aren’t so backward
Desert rock

good stuff @jef. You like your lead breaks, this clip of Speed Caravan playing at Kazakhstan's free annual music festival might appeal.. unfamiliar tuning system, and non-fretted instruments notwithstanding. Structurally very western-rock, obviously.

Good one. That’s a festival I’d like to go to.

Sounds like they should be going to the Woodford Folk Festival !

Jamie XX just played at the Meredith music festival,
Wonder if that’s where @Adam 12 went.

Here's another one for you @seeds, Garage Fest Cambodia..

That’d be great B6
Went to Cambodia 5 years ago. Loved it. Cheap and still played back.

Boing Boing went off. Best I’ve seen them. Alby had gout in his right foot so had to sit down most of the gig. They only play a few times a year and it looks like they really have a blast doing it. The energy transfers to the crowd for sure.
Cosmic Psychos were alright but just seemed like they were going through the motions you know. Drummer from Dune Rats drumming for them. Great drummer but in my uneducated opinion seemed too technical for the Psychos maybe. Anyway something wasn’t quite right for me.

Love this guys work. If you get a chance head to Ballarat.

Sage advice.

Playing in a pub nearby soon. A nice uplifting song to counter the negative energy floating elsewhere.

But if that doesn't work and lift your mood then...

Seasons greetings y'all.

be keen to hear what Toby Cregan's post-skegss band is like @blackers, if you get along.
"Is it true Shaun Manners lived in your laundry?"
"Yeah I’ve always had surfy dudes living in weird parts of my house. Creed used to live in my attic."

30 year old Trax that fly under the Radar
These are from tbb's Early '90's Alt collection
Was getting pretty hard to source new original sound during this era.
Chose these Trax coz each sounded new & pretty cool back in the day.
Well...cool enough to buy & share these early 90's new wave singles...

Have given this a few runs in the last month. The new one.
Great Aussie band if they are ever in your neck of the woods.

Dunno why I haven't heard this post-punk pop rock gem before.

That whole album is great. First gen art punk but feels like it could've been released last week.

Elastica paid 'homage' to Wire (read: plagiarised the fuck out of) with their song Connection and it's eerie similarity to Three Girl Rhumba - dunno how they thought they'd get away with it - while Minor Threat did an incredible cover of 12XU. It's even the song where Ian Mackaye screams the now immortal line to 'flex your head'.

I've heard 12XU became a standard for many DC hardcore groups.

It's a ripper of an album. Diverse band, lots of invention along the way. At one stage after a break-up and reform, they refused to play their old songs but hired a cover band as support who did play them.
"There's basically two views of Wire: you either think we were not a punk band, or that we were the best punk band ever because we broke every single rule of punk."Colin Newman.

Classic move.

Great stuff, how good is a "new" discovery.
