Ah, yes, the fabulous Midnight Oil.... saw them three times, once in a stadium, once in a small pub, and once at an outdoor festival... great band, amazing back catalogue...
Pity that Peter Garret gave up the microphone to join the Labor party... but hey at least Aussie can claim to have one of the most formidable political songwriters of the twentieth century as one of its leaders... pretty awesome to consider it...

I just love Midnight Oil. Never got to see them live unfortunately. I heard their live shows were awesome. Their live album "Scream In Blue Live" is brilliant.
I heard of many people regarding Pete Garrett a hypocrite now he's into politics. I guess that's what happens when you go into politics with many ideals and make a lot of compromises. Maybe he should go back to music. |

That Scream In Blue album is ace btw (great song too). There's a bootleg of an acoustic gig of theirs from 1993 I think which is one of my most played bootlegs - top-drawer stuff. |

That sounds great. I only got me that album about a year ago and kind of got back into them. Been playing it a lot. |

Digging some old Something for Kate... the Beautiful Sharks album to be precise... ten years on, its still a flawless listen, in my opinion!

I haven't listened to this album in nearly 5 years and my god it still has that same profound effect it did when I first heard it when I was like 14. There are certain albums that stay with you your entire life, and I'm pretty sure this album is going to be one of them. The only song I don't care much for is "Drips". |
