Some 80s Aussie tunes that I love, although, they may have all expatriated.
Spinning Born Sandy Devotional as I type
Some 80s Aussie tunes that I love, although, they may have all expatriated.
The Church
(I have always imagined that the bagpipe solo is a tribute to AC/DC.And one from New Zealand, which, I know, isn't Australia:
I couldn't open the first two.... The Triffids could never break into the mainstream which is why they were cool.
The Go-Betweens were good but not my cup of tea... The Church, INXS, Cold Chisel and Mondo Rock being my style... Although I did have a massive crush on Kate Ceberano, Kylie and the Chantoozies.
The Chills are a Kiwi band... The trees in the background are wrong for Australia...
I don't even remember how I discovered Born Sandy Devotional--I think I had read about them in an issue of the awesome Britishiznoid rock mag Mojo. Or, at least, it was awesome when I was reading it about 8 years ago.
Anyway, a cd copy with bonus tracks showed up one day in the store I used to work at, I threw it on, and it blew me away!! I think I listened to it non-stop for a couple of weeks back there in 2006.
I've never heard anything else by them, alas...
What I love about this thread is how it makes me go and find videos that I've never seen for bands I've loved for years. For example, the Triffids. For another example, I never realized how f%%&ing sexy Amanda Brown (?--Go-Between vocalist/violinist) was/is.
Even if she only seemed to own one outfit in 1988.

Wow! I think we got it at the same time. I also listened to it all the time for a couple months in 2006.
Just got some new CDs this week
JJ Doom - Key to the Kuffs
Sample track: Guvnor
I haven't kept up much with MF Doom, but here's another lost gem that I only heard due to wage slavery in the used record store.
Is that Terence Stamp in the Bat for Lashes video?

Yeah, it's f+#@ing awesome.
Btw, Radiant Sophia, do you know how to link? 'Cuz I dig your tastes.

Except all of those {}'s are []'s.

Ooh, never heard of them before, cheers.
Don't know about the video but if it was Stamp it would have been in the news over here, so I am guessing not.

Ok the 90's = Uni and drinking and having a good-time and getting a little political... My first election where I could vote.
named after my second favourite Prime-Minister The Whitlams - No Aphrodisiac.
There's no aphrodisiac like loneliness
Truth, beauty and a picture of you
This song was written after a former band-member committed suicide due to gambling debts and the state government had just let more poker machines into Pubs.
Blow Up The Pokies - The Whitlams .
And I wish I, wish I knew the right words
To make you feel better, walk out of this place
and Defeat them in your secret battle
Show them you can be your own man again, show them you can be your own man again..
Paul Kelly Australia's Billy BraggPaul Kelly - To Her Door.
They got married early, never had no money
Then when he got laid off they really hit the skids
He started up his drinking, then they started fighting
He took it pretty badly, she took both the kids
Paul Kelly - From Little Things Big Things Grow .
Gather round people I'll tell you a story
An eight year long story of power and pride
British Lord Vestey and Vincent Lingiari
Were opposite men on opposite sides
Vestey was fat with money and muscle
Beef was his business, broad was his door
Vincent was lean and spoke very little
He had no bank balance, hard dirt was his floor
Every f*~#ing city by Paul Kelly.
Now I'm in a nightclub in Helsinki
And they're playing La Vida Loca once again
And I can't believe I'm dancing to this crap but I'm a chance here
And every f#&*ing city sounds the same
Powderfinger was one of those bands that deserved international acclaim but it didn't happen for them... the 90's they were just getting into their stride. Their best stuff came out in the 2000's
Now the Screaming Jets are a favourite of mine... Sadly they do attract a bit of a Bogan audience. The are a stereotypical hard rock/metal band but they are f$@!ing excellent at what they do.
Screaming Jets - Shivers (1993) . Epic power ballad.
Screaming Jets - Better (1991) . Any film clip that has a Goanna, flaming guitars and amp stacks, shirtless lead singers wandering around with a two-handed sword for no reason at all has to be a classic.
FRC (fat rich c#+%s),the screaming jets .
Custard was originally known as "Custard Gun" and featured David McCormack from the Go-Betweens... another band that should have been more famous... but they just wernt radio friendly.
CUSTARD - Girls Like That (Don't Go For Guys Like Us) 1998.
Custard - Music Is Crap (1998).
Same with Bodyjar should have had more number ones.
One iN A milliOn - bOdyJar. Very funny film-clip.
And just because this film clip freaks me out
(Peter Hammill live in 1975)
Just like that.
One of these days, when I get some really good [bubble bubble bubble], I'm going to have to break out my VDGG records...
I'm still up on Geraint's new purchases post, hope to catch up soon!
Hmmm, okay, but I'm not crazy, right? It kind of looks like him in Priscilla, to keep the Aussie thing going.
Ha, The Pub (The Imperial Hotel) where they are doing their act in the beginning and where Priscilla was Christened, was filmed about 3 blocks away from where I used to live. I used to go up and watch them filming.

At the moment, it's whatever's up on the "1960s Rock" channel they're playing at the Tim Horton's where I'm having a coffee and doughnut while the garage next door changes the oil in my car.
Right now, that happens to be "Bus Stop" by The Hollies.
Bat For Lashes led me towards Sleep like a Shark by Unknown Mortal Orchestra on Youtube (which is also ace), though any time's a good time for VdGG - thankyou, RadiantSophia! What a ****king fantastic band they are. Here's Man Erg again, just because we can
I worked in a Hastings when "EmpireRecords" was on dvd. We tried to make it quirky like the movies, but we got squashed by the upper management...[/url]
+1 to record store stories and I liked that French Horn Rebellion track.
"Bus Stop" by The Hollies
The Hollies...
...it's been many years since I last heard that.
Yes, thank you, Haladir..."Bus Stop" evokes much winsome nostalgia over here in Anklebiter land, too.

Funky Town (1986)
The origFunky Town (1986)
I think I like the Pseudo Echo one better.
To each their own.
Right Now:
Captain Beyond
and last year's (2nd) album of Steve Hackett reworking old Genesis tunes. It's o.k., but these albums where an artist goes back and redoes his/her work from 4 decades previous always seem indulgent, but I guess he's earned it. And it has Michael Akerfeldt (opeth) on Supper's Ready.
London Calling - The Clash
(guess how I'm feeling)
Like joining a paramilitary fascist organization?
Oops, not any more, I guess.

I nearly called them the Lafayette Afro Funk Bank. Actually quite like that name...

24 Hour Party People one of my favourite movies
And tonight something equally epoch-making is taking place. See? They're applauding the DJ. Not the music, not the musician, not the creator, but the medium. This is it. The birth of rave culture. The beatification of the beat. The dance age. This is the moment when even the white man starts dancing. Welcome to Manchester.
- Tony Wilson

see Jeff Lynne. Im pretty sure he 'reworked' the old ELO tunes to sell to soundtracks and commercials and whatnot rather than the original tunes that have copyright issues out the ass.
I love his recent album of cover tunes but the re-imagined ELO stuff is pretty much a cash grab.
Jeff, just go on tour and bank a million bucks already!
So much music, so little time...
That was the first 45 I ever bought with my own money, because I'd seen them on Top Of The Pops in druid's robes and horns. I work with people who weren't even born then, which scares me.

Link

Carolina Chocolate Drops Country Girl
As of now it's Johnny Cash with Highway Man, but mostly it's a mix of music ranging from classical to heavey metal and most everything in between coupled with the sound of my brother in the next room over trash talking and yelling at New Vegas.
