    @jegga This version is different to the song that appeared on the album "Hot Space" but that album was heavily influenced by disco and pop. Not a fan favourite.

    Yeah there's another version on youtube thats very disco, I thought this one was better.

    Next in our series on somewhat daggy characters who can sing the lights out is one Kenny Loggins. Keeping it jazzy even when he's rockin'.

    If you really want to know the history of smooth music, and the true story behind Kenny Loggins' transition to rockin' soundtrack ace, then you've got to watch the Yacht Rock comedy series.

    1st episode is a little rough, the rest are excellent (except the Jethro Tull one - you can skip that).

    @Tim Watched some of those episodes when they were released but should probably revisit.

    While the movie thread is a circle jerk about a cartoon character, thought I'd mention this one one here instead.

    Supersonic - doco/story about Oasis

    Never been a big fan but recognise that when they get everything right they do create some bloody good songs. Have never had time for the Liam hates Noel hates Liam sideshow but this movie kind of puts it into some kind of perspective and paints a picture of that clash being the odd element that somehow occasionally turns special.

    There's no doubt that Noel is the more talented with regard to songwriting and such but Liam is a bit of a creative freak himself. They would never work for hours over their hits, somehow Noel would play the song once give the lyrics to Liam who would do one vocals take with amazing phrasing and nuance and that was it.

    Well worth a watch.

    I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that Hardwired is the best Metallica album since Master of Puppets.

    @antipodean I used to be on the same page. It's a fantastic album, undoubtedly, but shows how much I'm enjoying Hardwired. Seeing them live earlier this year does play a part in that.

    Apparently John Wright - yep opening batsman and cricket coach - has released an album called Red Skies. The songs all appear to be on youtube. This one about "Mot(ueka)" might be the best of them...try "Kingston" as a second choice.

    A better guitarist than singer. I see his band includes former The Narcs keyboardist Liam Ryan.

    Went to see the Pixies last night ... finally, I've been trying to see them 20+ for years.

    Really good, but short concert. It's amazing that a band so inert on stage play such frantic music.

    Next up is Living Colour in May! I'm slowly covering of all my favourite early 90s bands.

    Playing here tomorrow, wasn't going to go because their new album sucks.

    Did they mainly play old favourites? or the new stuff?

    I hadn't listened to their new album, they played a mix - but to tell you the truth the new stuff (i.e. the stuff I didn't know) sounded fine.
