Let’s start the week with this! The other day I when looking for what the hell I could find online of when this happen on Aussie TV on Xmas night way back in 90’s? The Rage facebook page does have that video just below posted on his 60th B’day a couple of years ago now but that was it, pretty much! Off course, I still have this on VHS videotape and I even converted it to DVD disc at some point. My laytop’s disc drive is totally fucked ATM so no uploading the whole thing but I’ve turned it into yet another playlist just above are all the tracks or almost all the right videos clips he picked and played then too, enjoy!

After he chooses all these songs Rage TV show did played all his promo video clips up to the Red Right Hand because it was in 1994 then. The funnest bit of the whole show was when Nick himself forgotten the name of his then brand new song, greatest bit of your own PR ever on Aussie TV! You can hear someone else saying Red Right Hand and Cave laughing because all of it’s happening on camera. Anyway I’ve just got that one and only Bad Seeds clip/track at the end to finish with!
The Rage guest programmers playlists I’ve blogged are very few and far in-between but here’s the other ones: The Drones in 2009, Ed Kuepper only last year, HTRK in 2014 and The Drones again in 2016 is it! All four are linked, if you wanna look/listen?
