This has become too retro!

One of my fave current bands!
Sun Araw
Crete

big ups to the Bondi possie!


ALMOST WITH YOU - THE CHURCH



ALONE WITH YOU-THE SUNNYBOYS

Both of these songs became staples on 3MA in the early Eighties, thank God!
Sometimes regional radio had it's charms!
Like when they played 'This Charming Man'
for my friend's birthday on 3MA.
The Smiths
Hearing that at 8 in the morning was fuckn' priceless!


the mac



Hmmm...Do you think The Flaming Lips, Built To Spill, My Morning Jacket and Turdlake were into The Mac?
So don't tell me all of a fuckn' sudden you like The Mac!

the best



I don't mean to be obvious but speaking of best songs of the eighties, how could you go past this?
Any track on MBV's You Made Me Realise 12" could be a contender!

the best...



Buddy by Snapper
This is probably my favorite song of the 80s.
Their albums were good too.
Apparently there is unreleased material from this era.
I'd like to hear that.

more Bendigo Rock


Tol puddle Martyrs
Social Cell
Well they released 4 tracks back in the day.
Peter and the Silhouettes released 2.
Got it.
Anyway this one is a bewdy!

best song ever


The Church
Bel-Air

According to my computer this was my most played song of 2011.  This really is the best ever (along with about 40 other Church tunes) song.   Thirty years later it still sounds grouse!

best song ever



Well the funniest.
Danny Boy
The Muppets

LA or Bendigo

My fave band of the 60s is Love.
The only other band that comes close is The Tol-Puddle Martyrs!
Time Will Come
They were from Bendigo!
Rock on Bendigo!
Their first incarnation was Peter and the Silhouettes who recorded this fuckn' classic!
All together for both bands I think only 4 songs were recorded!
I've only heard 3 but what a 3!
Claudette Jones
