| Playlist: |
| Set 1 - First Shout |
| 1. |
|
Apartment |
|
Custard was an excellent band, with such beautiful songs as
"The Music Is Crap" and "Pinball Lez". I like Apartment coz it reminds me
when I first moved out of home. And it's a fucking good song to start a set
with. Take a drink! |
| 2. |
|
Everyday Formula |
|
I couldn't find a copy of "I sucked a lot of cock",
but there are so many good Regurgitator songs it wasn't hard to find a
replacement. This is from the UNIT album, which I heartily recommend. |
| 3. |
|
SeaChange |
|
I'm including this for the sake of Shauna Marsh. Hope you're
happy, pussycat. |
| 4. |
|
She Will Have Her Way |
|
Niel Finn, from the "Try Whistling This" Album.
I put this in here as a replacement for Crowded House, who I can't think
about without crying since they broke up. Niel isn't strickly and Aussie,
he's really a Kiwi. But as they say, any successful Kiwi is really an Aussie
at heart. |
| 5. |
|
The Day You Come |
|
Powderfinger, from the album "Internationalist". They
won so many ARIAs with that album, which I don't reakon is that good, that
they can enter this list because of it. Wankers. Take another drink! |
| 6. |
|
Ordinary Angels |
|
Frente, one of the sickly sweetest bands in Oz history
first showed on "Marvin the Album". More importantly, though, is the fact
you can find this track on "The Music of Melrose Place". |
| 7. |
|
Kids |
|
I had to whack Kylie Minogue in here, Oz icon that she is. She
and I share one thing in common - we never read anything we didn't write
ourselves! Take another drink! |
| 8. |
|
Home and Away |
|
Frenzel Rhomb. My wife knew the bassist, and a friend at
school's sister was dating the lead singer. Plus it's a cover of the theme
to Home And Away... what more could you want? |
| 9. |
|
Breakaway |
|
Falling Joys. Another band my wife knew members of. They
really shouldn't of broken up. This song is fantastic. |
| Set 2 - Angry Young Mate |
| 10. |
|
You Sound Like Louis Burdett |
|
The Whitlams named themselves after
Gough Whitlam. It's be like a US band calling themselves The Reagans. Or has
that been done? Take another drink! |
| 11. |
|
Greg! The Stop Sign!! |
|
By now you should be getting pretty drunk, and
TISM is the best way to help that along. No-one knows who the band members
of TISM are because they always wear balaclavas to their gigs. Rumour has it
one of them is a Wiggle. |
| 12. |
|
You Shit Me To Tears |
|
The Tennants were found in by JJJ. I like them.
Take another drink! |
| 13. |
|
Have You Seen My (Bunghole)? |
|
Menteke This is the band of my Sister-In-Law's boyfriend. I'm so ashamed. |
| 14. |
|
Thirsty Dog |
|
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds at their best. Forget Red
Right Hand, this is where the action is. From the album, "Let Love In", well
worth a purchase. |
| 15. |
|
Hot Water & Milk |
|
Spiderbait once did a cover of The Goodies "Run". I
couldn't find that, but this will do. Man these guys are good. Take another
drink! |
| 16. |
|
Impressed |
|
Natalie Imbruglleer... Imbruggliaa... ah, fuck it. I like
this song coz it's so snarky. |
| 17. |
|
Mascara |
|
Killing Heidi is another overrated band with its moments.
They made a killing at the ARIAs too. I don't seem to like any band that
wins ARIAs. |
| 18. |
|
Black Stick |
|
Cruel Sea at it's very, very best. You'll also find this
song on the "Empire Records" soundtrack. That was an... interesting... movie
experience. Take another drink, you'll need it for the last set. |
| Set 3 - Nostalgic Drunks |
| 19. |
|
Helping Hand |
|
The Screaming Jets are thinking about calling it quits.
I say, NEVER! NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER! Or so their lyrics
go. Take another drink! |
| 20. |
|
Great Southern Land |
|
Reving up the nostalgia run. Note lack of Cold
Chisel in this playlist. God I hate Jimmy Barnes. Take another drink! |
| 21. |
|
Run to Paradise |
|
I'm pretty sure the Choirboys are Australian, but by
this time in the set you should be too drunk to care. Besides it's only fuelling the runup to the final crawl. |
| 22. |
|
Holy Grail |
|
Sweet Hunters & Collectors. I threw this in here coz I
could. Ah HA! Take another drink! |
| 23. |
|
What's My Scene? |
|
The Hoodoo Gurus rule. One of the best Oz bands out
there. This song reminds me of high school, when I didn't know whether I was
coming or going. I still don't. Take another drink! |
| 24. |
|
Dumb Things |
|
Paul Kelly and the Messengers were great. Note the
wonderful Aussie sense of humour in this song. Love it. Take another drink! |
| 25. |
|
Boys Light Up |
|
Australian Crawl, one of the ultimate Aussie bands.
Take another drink! And take another drink! And another! |
| 26. |
|
Forgotten Years |
|
Midnight Oil, from the album "Blue Sky Mining".
You're not an Aussie family unless there's a copy of this lying around the
house. |
| 27. |
|
Land Downunder |
|
Probably the only song anyone from the US
will recognise. Sing along! Take another drink! I come from the land
downunder! Where women throw and men chunder! Can you hear can you hear that
thunder! You better run, you better take cover! |
