Children Of The Sun


Heard this in a restaurant the other day and thought it was like 60s Scott Walker doing a lost Doors track. It took me a while to find what it was but here it is!


Don't forget this bewdy from the 80s.


And this one! Wow.

Talkin Shit

* Is it just me or does every 2nd Drones song sound eventually like it's going to break out into Cortez The Killer?

*RE: Grr... Would Dead Can Dance have qualified to be in that book.  I mean they are a Melbourne band right?  What about Olivia Newton John's Xanadu? We claim all the other British born people and New Zealanders too. We're not claiming Livvy ? As far as pop goes that could be in the top 3 or 4.  What too much Jeff Lynne ? Not enough Jeff Lynne as far as I can see.

*The title of this post has made me remember this scenario -I was at a pub a couple of years ago with my wife and met some new people.  Anyway they asked what I did and I told them finishing with of 'Jack of all trades.  Master of none.' One of the guys possibly 10 years my junior replied 'Don't say that you never know who's listening.'  This struck me as very odd.  I thought that sounds like something an American might say.  I thought whatever happened to the great Australian National pastime of self deprecation.  God as far as self deprecation goes it was quite soft as it contained a positive statement along with the negative.  Did this guy think there was someone lurking around the corner about to give me a million dollar contract.   Now I was no longer going to get the job for being down on myself.  Anyway I thought fuck where is this dudes sense of humour? What? Are  they being brought up so confident they couldn't possibly dare to not take themselves too seriously even when they are at the bloody pub.  What would happen if I said something negative to this guy about him?
Would he be able to cope or would he be a delicate snowflake and be crushed.  What a turd!  Just for him I say 'What a load of bollocks this paragraph has been.  Not worth the electricity it used up! or the time it took me to type it and you to read it!'
