Tonight was the very last show of the Aussie Bad Seeds tour and in short tonight was fuckin’ unbelievable! It’s the first since 2013 if you don’t count the so called solo one which I dubbed more his first nostalgia tour ever from 2015 which was just OK really. Well, they were not joking about an early start maybe old Nick, he’s […]Read Post ›
So tonight is the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds gig finally, the very last date of the Aussie tour in Perth W.A. and off course horses, I’m hyped. This post really has nothing to do that but the front man has recorded this a very long time ago. Nick and that band are on this list before but […]Read Post ›
So just the other day I got an email about The Bad Seeds gig tomorrow night and it’s says be early, they is no support band. It got me thinking and anyway back in late 1994 I when to my first Cave gig, the support band was Dave Graney ‘N’ The Coral Snakes. So entering as number 43 […]Read Post ›
DISPOSSESSED from what I can tell are the greatest newish band to come out of Australia for a couple of years so I should blog about them, hey? Yes it’s written in caps lock, if they could write their name with the blood of all white Aussies, I think they would. At the last show before […]Read Post ›
So the last few days here in Perth W.A. it’s been something over 30 but it’s not up to 40 yet. Anyway Reggae music is the prefect style of music for this type of weather and this is got to be my most favourite of that style. It’s really called a Dub or Roots record, both sub-style of Reggae but […]Read Post ›
So that’s two songs above! It’s both Where It Ends and then Too Late To Die Young which was the single from last year’s new album You Yang, it did take out my album of 2016 award. So my continuing posting of anything of the artist known as Lost Animal. Both clips are live clips filmed in a […]Read Post ›
It should really be June Carter Cash because she did write the song but I guess Johnny made it famous by singing it. So I’ll just do one more Kuepper post today to go with The Bad Seeds/The Saints one earlier and after the few I’ve done in the last week. Well for the moment but I’ll do others […]Read Post ›
Well, after my three Ed Kuepper posts and finishing with The Saints one yesterday what better way to kind-off do another related post with their number one super fan Nick Cave. When in the 2000’s both Ed Kuepper and Chris Bailey at different times briefly joined Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. In 2002 The […]Read Post ›
Right, it’s got to be the debut album by The Saints (I’m) Stranded for part three of my Ed Kuepper songwriter special. Over the last few days I’ve picked out just two albums and now today a third album from the massive back catalogue of his music, it does seem like just a tiny little sample […]Read Post ›
So here’s part two on Ed Kuepper as singer-songwriter featuring in my Classic Albums set with his second band called Laughing Clowns. Today I’m highlighting the album Law Of Nature here. It’s a 1984 album which was my intro to them visa just the video clip above at the top of the page. Eternally Yours was yet another on I seen on late […]Read Post ›
Right, so now we go back to Australia today for the next post on my Classic Albums list. I’m going to try sometime different for today and the next couple of days. I’m going to focus on just one songwriter but it’s over a very long time frame, Ed Kuepper has been going for now for four […]Read Post ›
After writing about more than a couple maybe you could even say more that a few albums or artists that wouldn’t normally make the cut for something like a Classic Albums murder of crows but these are my own bunch of circling birds. It’s time for another biggy, hopefully everyone or every dog and his cop has heard […]Read Post ›
So it’s been now a week since posting my last Classic Albums write-up and before talking about The Young Gods‘ TV Sky album I just wanna write a little of a recap of these pages of my fave albums. Where Joy Kills Sorrow comp album seem that’s it’s so totally unknown because it’s only got one […]Read Post ›
Well, I’ve started writing about The Young Gods in my Classic Albums set but it’s not done yet and I was watching these covers too because I love Mike Patton as well and here he is with The Young Gods. Has everyone seen these yet or not? Or maybe not for awhile? My Cover Versions […]Read Post ›
So it was announced today that Peter Sarstedt who wrote, sung Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) passed away on the 8th of January 2017. That song I know and you may know from Wes Anderson 2007’s film The Darjeeling Limited and was the opening track on that soundtrack album. To be honest I didn’t known […]Read Post ›
Well, this really could be the most obscure album I’ve written about, so far? Does anyone else remember this album? Or not? Where Joy Kills Sorrow would have to be one of my most fave mid to late-90’s album ever. At the time it was hammered like no tomorrow but it seems like almost no one […]Read Post ›
So now it’s going to be four days of The Triffids on my blog but today it’s really just David McComb but also co-starring Nick Cave. This is kind-off lifted from the book about McComb and his band The Triffids called Vagabond Holes edited by Chris Coughran and Niall Lucy which was first published in 2009. I […]Read Post ›
So it’s going to be a week of The Triffids soon or just so far at least the last three days of them. Now today I’ve got to post my five most fave covers of their songs played by other artists/bands. Off course all of the songs are written by the late great David McComb. […]Read Post ›
After so much deliberation I’m going to have to pick out this album In The Pines out as my fave of all of The Triffids albums, OK? So I’ve got to ask, what’s yours? I did write a little bit yesterday about two later tracks for 1989 which did help my final decision about this. […]Read Post ›
So happy new year! It’s three days in now so my first post but I’ve got two tracks you might like? Or maybe might not? They’re both old songs from the late 80’s but both seem pretty right on and perfect for today. The Triffids are an Aussie band, if you never heard of them […]Read Post ›
