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.

for zen and all the teachers doing kris kringle at lunch, and fucking off on their hols. Play it loud, windows down, (spin your tyres a little in the teachers' car park, if your boss or colleagues have been petty over the last few weeks).

Thanks B6. I was a teacher until a week ago. Thankfully I've never been Kancho'd in my professional life.

This is cool good to see Rick giving some focus to a lesser known band.

Swervedriver's Duel is such a good song, Adam seem's like a top guy too.

How fkn good are SWD?
One of my top three for sure.
Saw ém at The Northern in 98/99? with maybe 50 people?
They imploded later on that tour between Perth and Adelaide i think.
Managed to get all my records and cds signed in the mid 2000s, nice blokes for sure.
One of my many faves of theirs...

Thanx seeds recall Playroom Gigs for Chuck Berry in '84 + George Thorogood '81.
Cigar Box Guitar...goes down well...

Recall tbb said he's not well enough for Gigs + blew the Chemist, Appointments, Ambo Gigs!
Just then cancelled Mum's Xmas + the in laws Funeral...
Wotz fuck'd up even more...

Only went out to catch a breath to keep me body movin' & me heart beating...
Walk up the hill...tripping over Med Waste half way to the top across from Christian School...
Last end of school years > removed Bags of Nappies & Restaurant Waste from exact same stretch...
You name it > Needles > Drip Lines > Full on Air Hose Plastic Face Masks...that's one sick puppy!
Me Legs are infested with cellulitus from Easter Clean Up...Mum & Doc would kill me if only they knew!
Yet tbb can't help himself...Grinch's Med waste gone...FFS! Do the Right thing Oz...Ya really killing me!

Ok! Not gonna end the year cancelling gigs & cleaning up med waste...let's go for a big finish...
Why not reveal some massive secret hiding in plain sight...

tbb has had plenty of iso time & today was the day...no more of this ai Frisky Teen with a Cold....
ABC just ran 6 ads in a row with the exact same Teen Chiko Chick robot trying to get into tbb's strides!
This has gotta be some Ai scam...

Just who the hell is this Teeny Bopper Chick & why does she keep hitting on us...just had to find out...
Seriously talking 'bout #1 Voice over Chick that breathes sultry sweet nuthin's into our Head Sets...
Yes! As in #1 e Harmony Date...

Oz #1 Voice is Jaimee Taylor-Nielson (The sultry chick that hits on you during every Ad Break )
https://www.rmk.com.au/voices/voices/jaimee_taylor_nielsen/
Click under her Portrait to sample that 'Forever Teen Girlfriend experience'
Saving the Ben & Jerry Ice Cream ad for last...for good reason...Melt yer Ice Cream she does...
Like OMG tbb that's her...the one on every fuckin' AD...well durr...

Ok tbb thought the obvious...this chick must be pretty fucked up doing this shit for a livin'...
So wotz our Teen Queen to do when she's not brainwashing us...Does she Moonlight in a Rock Band?
Say Wot...
Said...like whatever Band our #1 Oz Chix Voice echoes.... must surely be Oz #1 Band

Well...tbb was right in that our Teen Queen sings up front in a far out Psychedelic Band...
Like Wot? Thought tbb was joking huh! Us bipolar sufferers just know how this rolls...
Everyone's fav Yummy Teen Chick had to have some Freak out Psycho Flick Switch

So #1 Oz Ad chick flips out as a Psychedelic Siren ...too good to be true huh!
Like who are these Minstrels...must be Famous...Well of Course...

Only tbb was shocked to see YouTube [Counter]
Like that's gotta be a mistake...surely...
Check : #1 Oz Voice on TV / Radio every second of minute of every hour of every day...is an unknown?

Her Band...{ Dead Witch } must have thought they hit pay dirt with #1 Oz Teen Queen on Vocals...
Best Plan ever...NOT...despite wearing out all industry promos ain't no one tuning in...pressing like?
But here's the weird thing...they are a high quality Psych band...stoked to share their far out sound.

tbb's Xmas Gift for the ages...yer new fav secret chix band that you already think you know somehow?
Here's Living Proof > You can be bigger than a Baby Jesus Xmas Beatle & still fly under the radar
tbb's last breath of life is reserved to summon up { The Dead Witch }...you go go gurlz...

Noice TBB!!

Twangy guitar to couple of stoner rocks to a psychedelic live one. Not bad.

Although I am partial to musos with um aw you know. Being visually appealing also.

Agree! Check this grungy good time live Chix Psych gig that grooves better by the minute
We're talking 138 views...Dead Witch dead set blows our tiny minds..
That was 2 years back...only just startin' out > but that's a solid unit...ultra hip gig!
Seems like these punters are getting good value...good luck to them..
tbb only just found out they toured Byron/ Goldie...regret missing that gig...also!

That above song (( Saturn's Return )) Fantastic Composition.
Brilliant live sound for that community gig...just give them all an award.
Should be ARIA single of the year > Cops 80 views! Wow!
What the hell happened to Oz music scene...Huh!
Reckon the Swedes / Southern States are gonna steal them...so they should.
If Oz punters don't step up...outta here!

When ya gloss over some old dodgy song title by a band with a supa daggy name!
Sure...as if yer gonna cue that...give that a miss...Yeah Nah Maybe...Why not give it a listen...
Nah...think we'll skip that one...sounds fuckin' ridiculous!
So Idiot tbb cues the track...Like Oh yeah of course tbb Luvs this rare obscure radio song...knew that!
Then find out the band still rock the same shit hot track 50 years on...

1969 : Hot Smoke'n' Sas's'afras by Bubble Puppy...What by Who tbb? (No idea!)
Anyhow!...50 years fly on by...so has all such nonsense.
2019 : Grom joins his daggy dad in some creepy Hodad Saloon Bar ...Gulp!

Dad : Chalk up one for us Old Guys...that's how ya roll in yer grave Grom.
Grom : Fark! Dad...that Bubble Puppy be Fuckin' US Pub Rock Godz!
Dad : Yeah Son! Fuckin' Cool Stoner Song Title + shit hot band name...Huh! (Cough!)
Grom : Dad! Did you just Fart...or are ya just speaking shit again..

Bubble Puppy (Name) "Centrifugal Bumble Puppy Game" from Huxley's 1932 Brave New World!
Well they were trippers...What' did ya expect? Even spelt Sasafrass Wrong...

Like that! Yep! Let's flip it a little to showcase the cool prog psychedelic Bubble Puppy sound!
Yes Please!

Backing up to Stunet's track...very modern indeed...real blank gen stuff...
Please if ya got a few more Plain wrap prezzies like that Stu...
Why...coz it busts down doors...

Never gave it much thought but that track has a few cult like Blank Gen partners
[ Mod Lov / Road Runner ] + [ Iggy / I wanna be yer Dog ] +[ Reed / Vicious ]
So naturally when ya dig deeper...Yes...it is a pretty solid Underground Sect!
Road Runner originates from this Velvet Underground track...[ Sister Ray ]
Like buying a Smack subscription...can now listen to Sid's LP as NY Blank gen smack passport.
Count that as a wasted blank gen sub genre that hooked Sid 'Vicious' & spawned Flying Nun Records
Ya can trace this Smack sect back to Charles Manson : Mechanical Man / Don't do anything Illegal...etc...
Sounds eerily similar...very modern up front blank stare messages for the day...[Dope Punk Protest]
Well worth exploring further...not Smack or Sacrifice!...but that Doped out blank guru goo goo muck.

Good pick up, TBB. Listening to Sister Ray you realise the Modern Lovers did a lotta heavy lifting.

Which is pretty funny as Roadrunner only has two chords.

What's also funny is contrasting the two singers. Reed's snarling misanthropy and heroin-chic and smiling Jonathon Richman wearing a polka dot shirt and singing about dachshunds or umbrellas or cars that go "faster miles an hour."
