Melbourne’s underground rave crew Slack Sound System is about to go above ground — literally, in fact, straight into the open air. The local outfit has announced Shipment, a brand new 1,200-capacity open-air industrial events space located just five minutes from the CBD. Shipment will launch on 28 March with an eight-hour daytime event called […]
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers performed at my kid’s high school today. School lifted the phone ban so my son filmed it to show his sister who is a big fan. Crowd was going off for Balcony at the end! #canberra #AusMusic
Even more #fortnightFridayMusic the cue is still #indigo 🎉
The third album by the Indigo Girls was Nomads Indians Saints so here we have:
The Saints - Know Your Product
I tried real hard, honest, to not go down this easy option but this is still fucking relevent nearly 50 years later so...
🎶 I'm just sitting in my chair when a voice comes on the air
Says "Why don't you try it? You'll feel all right!"
"Got some great new brand of smokes, cool your head and clear your throat
"Keeps you young, yeah, so in touch."
Cheap advertising, you're lying
Never gonna get me what I want
I said, smooth talking, brain washing
Ain't never gonna get me what I need
"Our new soap that's peachy keen saves your soul and keeps you clean
"It's recommended, used by the Queen
"Gonna improve your IQ, help in everything you do
"It's economic, don't cost too much." 🎶

It's still #fortnightFridayMusic with a cue of #indigo 🎉
The second album by the Indigo Girls was Indigo Girls so I'm running with "girls" for this one.
The Beautiful Girls - La Mar (live at the Metro)
They start the song with this shout out:
This song goes out to anyone that lives on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia
and well colour me indigo, but that's where I'm from. Still brings a tear to my eye:
🎶 This day is getting older
In fading light it's beautiful
This wind is blowing colder
And too soon I'll feel it's pull
Still, I took all my chances
Earned myself an even score
Try to learn my lessons well
...
Only love can be both heaven and hell
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart
For the road is long ahead
I'll be with you even though we're apart
But your road is yours to tread
...
I've grown old on this ocean
Gave her all, my stronger years
Gave my wife my devotion
When she died, the ocean my tears
I've tried to teach you well son
All of everything I knew
Of how to live this life be true
Don't bow your head to no one
And no matter what you do
If you start then see it through 🎶

@DJDarren the theme "accents" is setup for #AusMusic #ThePlaylistSuggestion suggestions!
360 - Boys Like You (feat. Gossling). Besides 360's very Aussie hip hop style you have Gossling's unique voice, shortened words but such a unique (accented?) vocal style.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDGSlfXsRiw
Emma Louise - Jungle. Again, the shortened Australian style wording "dreamin', dreamin'", "speakin'", "feelin'". The upward tone inflection at the end of every line which Aussies have. She's got a beautiful voice, and I had a ball dancing on top of a picnic table at a rave to a dance remix of this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvzu3bKgt5Y
Pez - The Festival Song (feat. 360 & Hailey Cramer). More Aussie hip hop about the experience of going to music festivals, replete with Aussie slang. Bonus sample from Bruce Hornsby (?).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3X38hhr4a4
The Waifs - London Still. Besides the lyrics ("Can you pick up my accent on the phone"), the very West Australian broad accent of the husky vocals. Plus it captures the Australian traveller in London experience.
'Bit of a dodgy move': Bluesfest ticketholders question cancellation timing
Festival revellers, who have spent thousands on the event, are angry and have been left wondering when organisers knew it was not viable.
Even more #alternateFridayMusic & a cue of #water
Mick Thomas' Roving Commission - Bright Sunshine
What goes better with water than bright sunshine. From the Coldwater DFU album comes this juxtaposition of light and shade with lyrics that paint a rich picture.
🎶 From Italy I think they came
Wearing scarlet scarves all dressed the same
On a school excursion or maybe
The Lion's club or Rotary
Through the halls of shame
They walked the sordid floors
Through the halls of pain
I walked until I could take no more
...
In the bright sunshine it dawned on me
It's love not work that sets you free... 🎶
