This should be in the thread of “Learning something New every day.”
I just learned Israel is in Europe.
As is Australia.
Eurovision is a complete and total shit way of creating an extra gay pride event
Didn't Eurovision predate gay pride events (well public ones at least).
Funnily enough, one of my mates who is gay went to Eurovision. Also, oddly, it's weirdly bigger here in Oz than I thought, I know (straight) people who have Eurovision parties to watch it.
My wife attended a Eurovision party hosted by the Portuguese Embassy.

Went to see Sepultura and Death Angel play last night in Christchurch
The best type of metal concert... fucking loud and angry. Saw 3 skinheads dragged out by security for fighting.
Awesome! I went to Sepultura when i was in High School and was completely intimidated!
Are they still awesome?
fucking awesome... They play the kind of music that is 10,000 times better live than on CD.
best concert I've been to in years.

Obviously Steel Panther is a comical glam band but they have some talent. The lead singer Ralph Saenz (Michael Starr in this band) and guitarist were both in a Van Halen tribute band called the Atomic Punks. Saenz was brilliant singing the DLR songs.

Great sophisto-pop track.
so great, I have the "Walking on the Rooftops" LP, solid all the way through and totally sumptuous production. The follow up "Hats" was a bit more maudlin
They never really did 'uplifting' did they?
This is about the closest they got (I quite like this album as background music)
When that first album came out the production values were quite awesome. I remember using it as a tester when setting up PAs to check clarity (the good old pre-digital days when you did front of house by ear)

Incredibly ob$cure. “Sussex” LP was released two months after Stooges debut and five months before Sabbath debut. Overall LP is a good blend of both, with a touch of V.U. Not a weak song on the album. Might be the apex of the indie underground stoner-rock genre, and imho vastly superior to Leaf Hound’s legendary “Growers of Mushroom,” even if the audio recording quality is much inferior being straightout heavy garage distortion acidrock slop.
Bent Wind – Going to the City, from the album 'Sussex’ (1969)

@crucial One of the reasons it sounds so good is that their engineer worked for Linn HiFi. They formed a record label just to sign them. Pity it took 5 years to produce their second album. Must've sounded good on the old Sondek record player (CD was better and all the facts stack up that way).

It's Christchurch. I'm not sure why you're mentioning this as if it's something unusual.

Yesterday a friend gave me a nice 1961 issue of DownBeat magazine with a cover story about Julian “Cannonball” Adderley which of course put me in mind to play a pile of his records while I slowly devour the long interview. Incredibly smart gentleman and a genius player. Title track from one of his more famed LPs does the business beautifully.
