Nice songs!

Hey Paul. Greetings from the UK. Nice tunes mate!!

Heh. I've been making a monstrous playlist of 80s pop.

That's just the sort of guy you are I guess. Much appreciated. :D

I think I see kangaroo up ahead!

I am too. First time and really enjoying it.

This will probably get you feeling nostalgic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoStNC1Ifn8

Know a bit about Brissy in the '90s. Missed Expo and all that, though. She's really changed with all the high-rise going up along the river, hasn't she. Did the floods affect you this year?

Je suis un bullshit artist - That was a Bill Wyman number, wasn't it?

Well I've been at it for about 18 months now. It's hard to tell progress though. I've written a draft lit review and a journal article that's currently in review. Depending on the experimental results, the direction of the research can change - which would change the content of the lit review for the thesis. Anyway, like you, I'm loving it. Your thesis sounds interesting, not that I have any knowledge in that area. The closest to that I got in uni was political theory - e.g. your Rawls/Nozick-type battles.

"Qualitative" huh? yeah sounds emotionally dissatisfying; political science sounds good though. What's the title of the thesis?

Wow that feels like a long time ago. Not done with uni yet; a PhD on neural innervation of the gastrointestinal tract has been keeping me occupied recently. Which masters course will you be taking>?

Good good...just passing by to check up on the music list, everything seems to be in order. How do you like the subscription; use the radio feature much?

A childhood favourite! Would love to cover it someday. It's still relevant

It's a great song, isn't it?

Ed Kuepper's Laughing Clowns is on ABC's Live At The Basement 11:30pm Thursday, 17 Sep 2009 http://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/netw/200909/programs/ZX0183A003D2009-09-17T233000.htm

I don't recall hearing 'The Year Is More Important', but then again I was embraced by a heightened spirituality, so who's to say? Work on a Saturday? Oh don't I know the feeling.

I put a Clowns video on youtube for the recluses...

I’ve only heard the Deep Reduction album “2” featuring Rob Younger and its really good. The easiest comparison is with the New Christs – I’ve just been playing the two back to back and it’s pretty seamless. You can read about the album on [url=http://www.i94bar.com/ints/deepred.html]this I-94 bar interview[/url]. There’s a whole 8 years of stuff that I’ve been missing out on since heading OS – what new stuff do you like?

How-deeeeeee!

We are compiling a [url=http://www.last.fm/group/Music+Advice+Center/forum/40095/_/182813/13#f8458387]list of great Aussie and NZ albums[/url] at the LastFM group the Music Advice Centre and would love your input.

Yeah that's a great tune but I don't have that Album anymore unfortunately - just the song on a live bootleg. I've put together a [group]Models[/group] group recently if you’re interested. Would also love to hear any music recommendations you might have.

yeah u got it, health sciences man

Cheers mate. You are doing pretty well yourself if you can understand Kelly in that one. Great charts too.

Now we're getting loaded In an all night cocktail bar :)

It was a great song for me in 1984 and little has changed since then, vis a vis the theme song to that terrible all-star film, Cannonball Run and Smokey & The Bandit. I may have the Leyland Bros theme kicking around in here, too. No guilt is the key to pleasure, methinks.

Yes, I listen to my fair share of un-hip artistes of yore. Some of it is arse, but you can't help liking it. Will give you a Clowns report.

Hold me closer Tony Danza...

yep you picked it in one haha.

haha! it really is. Wild In The Streets, my 2nd personal favorite Skyhooks song.

spot on, best song.

Overall quite good; finished uni and expanded the music collection quite a lot

You too; was 2008 a good year?

It's on the 'Hands of Time' album - song came out in 65' I think

Is that a different 'poor boy' to the master's apprentices one?

The what half of the Go-Betweens? Soap and water, Paul!

This sounds like being someone being beaten up with a wet newspaper, complete with strings!

I might play Frozen Orange Juice to remind me of how it goes...

I love that Peter Sarstedt song. I bought a CD of his and realised that he really didn't do anything quite as endearing. Oh well.

8-ball in the corner pocket, me old China plate. So I take it you will not be seeing the Clowns at GOMA?

I'll send it through my Nigerian bank account, is that cool?

I just realised that I've subconsciously swiped your last.fm photo pose.

Thanks for the warm compliment

haha... yeah, that's the one. thanks! such a funny song. i just like the chorus of it. my parents knew the song when i mentioned it to them, but they couldn't remember who it was by. guess it had been a while, haha.

Yeh it is, quite a good one too

Im sure there's something quite 'mockable' on there, just playing jazz compilations at the moment while i study...'saint germaine des pres cafe' i think

hey hows it going

I think I like the Blackfeather version better...although I'd like to see it done at the slower pace like fraternity and the same nuances as the bon scott sings it

See you up front at ATP for Laughing Clowns? Isn't this the best thing ever? I know you're going to agree. I wish I could scrobble some Gordon Lightfoot - he's not all that bad, but I've only got him on LP.
