There's this cool short series that starts tonight. I know alot of you aren't from here, but I know a few on here like the Saints and there's one on the I'm Stranded album, which you can purchase on dvd too. I think it's cool series anyway.

Add Australian albums you like if this series holds no relevance to you.

Darth Vegas - It Came From Beyond
Vicious Hairy Mary - Orchestral Phantasma

Oh Lord, where do I begin?

Birthday Party - Prayers on Fire
Birthday Party - Junkyard
The Triffids - Calenture
The Triffids - Treeless Plain
The Triffids - Raining Pleasure
The Triffids - Born Sandy Devotional
Scientists - Blood Red River
Scientists - This heart doesn't run on blood, this heart doesn't run on love
Silver Ray - New Love
Nick Cave - From Her To Eternity
Nick Cave - The Firstborn Is Dead
Nick Cave - The Boatmans Call

That's my distinctly Anglo view of the whole thing.

I'll just try and name my favourites 1 from each band:

The Dirty Three - Sad and Dangerous
The Scientists - Blood Red River
The Saints - I'm Stranded
Boys Next Door - Door Door
The Birthday Party - Prayers On Fire
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The First Born Is Dead
Venom P Stinger - Tearbucketer
Lubricated Goat - Psychedelicatessen

can I try, too?

THE CHUCH - PRIEST = AURA

Did you check out the link I provided?
There's a Triffids doco in that series.
You can purchase it.

The Saints : all Bailey-Kuepper era, especially Eternally Yours

Nothing by Kuepper solo (or with his later bands), for I don't know where to start from, plus it's said his voice is so so-so that it ruins the music a bit. Any idea about that?

The Boys Next Door : Door, Door
The Birthday Party : self titled
Nick Cave : Tender Prey, Kicking against the Pricks, Let Love In
You Am I : Hourly, Daily

I own Butterfly Net by Ed Kuepper. I think it's a fantastic record.
It's funny how The Saints are always called a Punk band, when they became so much more than that.

Thanks for the tip !

Right, I can't think of many punk music using horn sections the way they did, and given those wonderful things to play (Know Your Product).

three albums ea. from three (thus far) unnamed bands

AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
AC/DC - Highway To Hell
AC/DC - Back In Black

INXS - The Swing
INXS - Listen Like Thieves
INXS - Kick

The Church - Heyday
The Church - Starfish
The Church - Priest=Aura (oops, max has this one listed)

The Go-Betweens, Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express


Don't know what it is about this record, but it actually sounds 'Australian'. Whatever that might mean.

Anything Radio Bridman.
The Blurred Crusade by The Church
Most things by Tully

Yeah, the Go-Betweens are fantastic. I agree they have a real Australian sound.

Back In Black has some great songs on it but Bon era is the era.

As for the series, they played the first one last night which was Silverchairs Diorama. Interesting doco even if you're not a fan of the band.

Birthday Party rule all, but The Scientists or Radio Birdman are strong contenders. If rock is what we are talking about, these are the bands for me.

I've just checked it out. I'd buy that Triffids DVD, except that I'd have to pay AUS$35 (£15) for the shipping of a AUS$25 (£10) DVD, which is a bit too much.

EDIT - I've just found it on ebay for AUS$29 (£12) including shipping, which is much more reasonable. I've bookmarked that page, and I'll try to remember to come back after 11th August to ask you guys whether it's worth buying. In the meantime, what was the Silverchair one like, as a music documentary generally, rather than as a programme about Silverchair. Did it include some kind of a reasonable career overview or history, or did it concentrate totally on the one album?

australians suck

Oh, do they? I hadn't realised. Why is that?

who the fuck is this clown???

An Aborigine?
