@DJDarren My #AusMusic #ThePlaylistSuggestion on the theme of pudding are

A midlife's tale by the sumptuously named "My friend the chocolate cake". I love the harmonies through the chorus.

At least some Australians will refer to the dessert/pudding course as "sweets". (What's for sweets Dad?)

So on that theme -

The Sweet Sound of you - The Paper Kites.

#LettingGo
What do you do after you've moved to LA, & spent years on a project that gets canned? You write a killer snarky song about your experience, move out, move on & let go:

Hey it's  #alternateFridayMusic 🎉

and the cue this week is:

Letting Go

A mates band from the (can't recall the exact decade) anyway...

Half Dave - She Said

Memories of some bawdy gigs in Sydney pubs that don't exist any more - there's at least one person here on the Fediverse that I know was at some of those gigs 🤣

This song feels like a list off accusations that have been made at me over the years by people who are #lettingGo...

🎶 She said to me, you've got no ability
Your life is one big traffic jam
Your head is stuck fast in the sand
She said to me "you'll never make anything
Of your life your life boy"
...
She said to me "You're out there with your friends
The parties never seem to end
Apologies are all you send"
She said to me "You've got no time in your life
for me anymore boy"
...
She said, she said
Well fuck what she said 🎶

Hey it's  #alternateFridayMusic 🎉

and the cue this week is:

Letting Go

Some of the phrases for this cycle are derived from songs that were stuck in my head at the time. It should be no surprise that this song was in my head for #lettingGo

Tijuana Cartel - Letting it Go

https://tijuanacartel.bandcamp.com/track/letting-it-go

Saw in NYE at #woodfordia2022 to the amazing sounds of this band:

"What a week man, what a week. I feel like kinda releasing tonight. I don't know about you but I feel like there's a bit of pent-up tension between us and we should get rid of it in this track. Whaddya reckon?  We're going to do a song about just not giving a fuck..."

🎶 I know better than to let it go
Whatchya got going in the final show
I keep going back to what you said
You keep getting colder every step I tread
Letting go...

Can't get past those venomous eyes
Way you got me going leaves me paralised
I'm down here baby praying on my kness
Praying to the heavens to set us free
Letting go 🎶
