Martin Hannett

There is a book about him. Can't remember authors name.
He had really perfected his work by the Joy Division records

Fully aware this isn't kosher and AI like this is problematic AF...

...however this AI Jay-Z song is a banger I can't get out of my head.

Rest In Peace Kris Kristofferson

Rest In Peace Kris Kristofferson

One of my all time favourite songwriters, barely a day would go by when I don't listen to a KK song or two.

Was lucky enough to see him at The Palais a while back and he was brilliant.

Vale Kris.

It's been a while since I've been to Austria, but I'm sure there's a certain crossover that presents here - playing for the nursing homes at 3pm, and I'm sure that the bulk of this band is doing Slayer covers when it hits 11pm.
I reckon that's Adam Saliba from the Adelaide Crows on the accordion (yes, I realise he's Maltese, not Austrian). Respect for some furious mullets.

seen these guys live last night at west gippy arts center,

great show, the 4 headliners were awesome and jackie barns also done a reat drum solo.

 

[fnarr fnarr]

For me this is one of the all time great music videos. A perfect short document of a band going about it and just doing what they do, every instrument clear and distinct - great sound mix, great players, great singer, great song.

Gonna chuck some old stuff in here, just for the sake of it.

If anyone follows @MusicBrownlow on X/Twitter, there’s a Top 100 from an obvious North Melbourne supporter, with a list of their favourite songs to vote 3,2,1 on… bit of fun.

Probably one of the greatest Australian hard rock songs from the early 90's and I'd say my favourite Jets song.....

Very underrated album just quietly.

Dave Gleeson played a terrorist in a short, cheap, indie Aussie movie from over 15 years ago. The plot of the movie was that he kidnapped John Howard, I think his demands we were we leave Iraq.

Seriously?

That's awesome. Was the film any good?

 

[Grogg]

May as well keep the roll going. The first time I saw the Jets was at the Bridge Hotel in Buronga, just over the border from Mildura. They were pretty damn good, loud as ****, obnoxious and pretty disgusting. Dave kept spitting on the ceiling and trying to catch the gobby in his mouth. We laughed a lot.

The headline was an unknown band from the UK called The Almighty. They were brilliant. Ended up getting on the piss with them after the gig. Anyway...

 

[Hojuman]

Forgotten great singer & songwriter.

I only saw some of the early scenes or whatever they're called.

They were basically him, in a basement, ranting and maybe one with him manhandling a JWH lookalike. Those were okay tho. Thinking about it I dunno if the movie ever got finished cos its pretty controverial stuff.

Okay i just went looking...

This is a blog by a guy called Darryl Mason who used to write for Hot Metal magazine and other music rags. This was a fairly political blog of his that he still posts to tho I haven't looked at it in decades. It was his movie, he called it **** The War. It was set during the anti Iraq war protests of 2003. Unfortunately all the clips are private. I dunno if you can still get the movie or not but you should be able to contact him thru this blogsite. I think he's still mates with Dave Gleeson too.

Okay it won't let me post the link. This is the url for the search page. Just replace the **** with the f word, use a capital F.

ferball thanks mate. I remember Darryl Mason as a regular contributor to Hot Metal which I bought regularly. The metal scene back then was very anti-war, anti-establishment and pretty green leaning which was always my bent. Anthrax, Slayer, early Metallica, Sepultura, some cross over bands all had a solid hatred of the conservative ruling class. The journos in rags like Hot Metal all had a similar outlook so I'm not surprised to see Darryl penning something like that.

Yeah those were the days. Darryl's blog was okay. Some ripper **** ups too. The Friday before the Black Saturday fires he did a blog post saying how everyone was over reacting to a bit of hot weather what the **** was the fuss about tomorrow?

That attitude lasted about 12 hours.
