What are you listening to, right now................
-
Been listening to Coast fm at work, not my choice. Its not as bad as expected, theres a bit of motown and a lot of the 60s british bands which I like, unfortunately ABBA appears at least once a day. Lots of these songs I haven't heard in quite some time, some observations
Elton john singing about returning to his redneck ways is one of the most preposterous things I've heard in a song.
Annie Lennox has been off the scene for so long I've almost forgotten how closely she resembles Skeletor and can just appreciate her voice.
Some old songs are very rapey
My Shorona
Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, woo!Grease
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up a fight?Young girl is the reigning champ though, ffs
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl
With all the charms of a woman
You've kept the secret of your youth
You led me to believe
You're old enough
To give me Love
And now it hurts to know the truth
Whaoo-oh-oh
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl
Beneath your perfume and make-up
You're just a baby in disguise
And though you know
That it's wrong to be
Alone with me
That come on look is in your eyes
Whaoo-oh-oh
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl
So hurry home to your Mama
I'm sure she wonders where you are
Get out of here
Before I have the time
To change my mind
'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far
Whaoo-oh-oh
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl
Young girl, get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
Better run, girl
You're much too young, girl -
Star Wars disco never gets stale.

As the Australian bands of the 90s tours continue, we went and saw Regurgitator last night. Despite the venue (a very dodgy suburban pub) and the crowd (everyone i knew there was because our kids go to school together, obviously people of a certain age) it was a fucking fun gig. The boys certainly haven't lost any energy over the past 20 years.
Unit was a good little album.
Next up: Wolfmother in June

@mariner4life Clearly I've never heard Regurgitator before, because I accidentally clicked on that vid and thought it would be one of the stock standard rock bands the Fern seems to favour - but I was pleasantly surprised. It's quite funky, and as I'm hearing it for the first time it actually sounds really contemporary too.

Say what you like, U2 were clearly destined for greatness from the start!
You can see why Bono had to get singing lessons.

I saw them last night at The Powerstation. Living Colour are a great live band and they put on a show. It's 24 years since they were last in NZ. My only disappointment was not hearing a couple of my favourite songs. @Nepia and others seeing them in Aust are in for a treat.
-
@Bovidae Yep, the concert was awesome. They're bloody good entertainers, top notch musicians of course but their banter is a crack up too.
They played a song where Reid played most of it on the neck of the guitar. It was funky and awesome and I have no idea what it is - I assume it is from the album after they reformed which I haven't listened to.
I am impressed that Cory Glover takes time out from starring on Brooklyn 99 as Captain Holt to tour with the band. Twins!
I've never seen so many middle aged white men in one place before though. There were few females in the place that I thought I'd entered a gay bar by accident.
The opening band were hilarious, unintentionally, all the bogans in the crowd loved them, but it was like they walked straight out of the 80s hair band era in a time machine. They weren't bad, not my type of music and their singer was a pretty funny guy with good chops. 14 year old briefly bogan me might have liked them.
They didn't play this (my favourite of their songs, well at least their covers of others) but it will still awesome:

The setlist from Auckland and Melbourne are different. Sydney hasn't been listed yet so it might be the same as Melbourne.

I really wanted to hear Open Letter (To A Landlord) which wasn't played in Auckland but was in Melbourne. More songs played in Melbourne too. Nothing from the last 2 albums.
The opening act in Auckland was Heavy Metal Ninjas. Despite the name and appropriate appearance, they were fun to watch.

@Nepia you were a bogan?
Briefly, for about 5 minutes, we all do stupid things when younger. Damn, I think I also voted for National one time.
@Bovidae The Sydney setlist is up now.

We didn't get Open Letter to a Landlord either.
The song that I mentioned where Vernon played mostly on the neck of the guitar was Behind the Sun - looks like it was from their 2009 comeback album. The live version had more emphasis on the guitar.
