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.

Anyone remember what surf video this was off? (Expect late 80s early 90's)

I know and love the song, not familiar with the band though, so it must be on a surf video, but just cant recall what one or the section.

Maybe Rubber Soul? Familiar for sure

Was popular among my group of friends but I don't recall it in a surf video.

It gets a good run in Nightmare on Elm Street 4, and possibly a Billabong video.

Circling back to Indo's link to '94 Spotify mix which had me wondering what I was listening too. Not much that was current, however Prince Andrew on 2SER's late night Train To Skaville show introduced me to these guys. Their second CD came out in '94.

Trivia: Pablo Honey, Radiohead's debut album, is named after a Jerky Boys skit.

Asked some mates about that song, and everyone knows it but cant place it to what surf video.

For some reason i had it in my mind it was on Gripping Stuff or something, but who knows, normally when i hear the song i can picture the surfing but not in this case.

Yeah these guys use to get played on RRR & 3PBS in Melb too, there is also a movie (never seen in) and a soundtrack that has a few good songs like this one.

here y'all go for a challenge. I stuck some, erm, ‘on-purpose noise’ I’m gonna call it, on the 'other vids' thread. But I'll put this here.. and include a review from the StewMag ‘zine below.. *try* sticking it on while you're on a bus or on a drive (not loud, just medium), and see what it does..

here’s the live recording ‘DUI 160524’ by Illawarra Most Wanted (QLD)

(jeez, you’ll firkin love this, @icandig ; )

^
“The quiet of the room, a polite ‘thank you James’ and Illawarra Most Wanted swagger their way to something wicked and special. It sounds to me like a bunch of stoned prison guards having a jam while someone brutally butchers their cellmate with a pointy toothbrush. It’s all fantastically deconstructed and unhurried, relishing in apathy for convention, Yvette’s voice conjuring four-dimensional guttural demonscapes against instrumentals that move in malcontent before ceding into inevitable texture, repetition, feedback.

This is probably the way Slint’s way cooler friends sounded but alas nol cares coz nol had the foresight for a YouTube documentary. The jazz-ier reprisals and climax towards the closing song echo post-hardcore and as the band themselves offers, post-screamo, but this gear is more situated in freewheeling experimental and avant sensibilities than anything. The crowd talks in the background, cheer when the vocals kick in and the liveliness of everything imbues the ‘songs’ with an immediacy and authenticity. Such qualifiers are useful only to say that this is unlike anything I’ve listened to in a while and probably one of my favourite releases of the year”.

Nice one Guy.

Love the lady in front- dancing like nobodies watching.

One thing I really miss about home is live music in a beergarden.
