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.

Hello Base 6

Chilling in the QT in Bondi Beach .

Lili was Red Hot at Low 302 and is really thriving with her new band .

A mate ( the Greek one ) finally decided 2 come with me .

He is more a muso than Adam 12 , and was Blowin away by her .

Kept saying she is a Rock and Roll Chick .

Lili is on Insta and there are some clips of her .

At 19 , she also Does Operatic Diva , very well .

Her dad got the flick as drummer , but Tom is younger ( not quite Pierre's beat ) .

Live music is SO much fun and I was first on the dance floor , as usual .

Anyone going to see Codeine next week?
Not everyone's cuppa, that's for sure, but one of my faves.
Trying to pull strings to get over to Melbourne, fingers crossed.

Is it just me or this one of the most moving songs ever?

Every time i hear it, i get all these mixed feelings of nostalgia, sadness, but still a strong feeling of satisfaction and it's all totally mirrored by the way Hope sings it and just her whole presence and look.

Definitely a top 100 of all time song.

haha! what the hell's going on? Similar legends 'June of 44' were brought over this time last year by pedestrian sound-nerds 'a Broken Sail'.. hazard to say, the Sailers have done it again, what an interesting model.. I guess we are the beneficiaries! good luck getting there R00.
(C&Anchor in Adelaide will be an incredible little place to see them on the 11th!)

Goofyfoot. Hi mate. Powerful for sure. Normal human reaction fella.

just spent the last twenty minutes reading their entire history, wow.

I’ve now played Fade Into You about 10 times, it’ll be rattling the grey matter when I finally hit the pillow. All the best.AW

Thanks for that Blackers - you sent me on a google wander through Gary Numan's world and I came across this article....kinda the point I was trying to make a while back.......

I expect there's a lot more to it than just that.

Gary is much more eloquent than I can hope to be.

The next time you hear put-downs of Auto-Tune, or see a “Drum Machines Have No Soul” T-shirt, it’s worth considering the dark side of that philosophy. While railing against electronic music can be seen as a win for organic art-making, it also dismisses large swaths of forward-thinking creators. Taking the brunt of it in the late 1970s was Gary Numan, the electronic-rock maestro responsible for hits like “Cars” and “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?”

Mixed bag this morning, Death Cab For Cutie's 'The Photo Album' earlier, now Metallica's 'Master of Puppets' (not sure what prompted the random selection).

Some unreal palm muting and general guitar riffery in Disposable Heroes... what a song!

I get what you were saying icandig, and agree. While not a huge fan of GN or even his style of music there is a clear pop sensibility and musicality in that track that elevates it. The combination of sound; vocals, harmonies and electronic noises combine into something far greater than its parts. As the man himself says in that article: " ...music is essentially melody. The heart and soul of anything are the harmonies and the tunes you write, be it on guitar, keyboard or whatever it might be..."

Imagine devoting a life of musical talent to an electronic instrument that can sound like a crying mezzosoprano, or a bowed saw, but will forever be remebered as a wacky sci-fi effect.. (mine was a cheap etherwave kit from bob moog's big briar..)
