This one of my favorite all-time punk classics

Aww man that sucks. The Saints are the most iconic Australian punk band and one of the finest of the '70s for sure.

I'm sorry, what? I was too busy literally waking the dead with this banger.

Oh sh*t I forgot Radio Birdman are Australian too.

They're also great though I do prefer the Saints, they were more raw while Radio Birdman had a more polished almost classic rock-esque sound.

Gilbert Gottfried

Orlando Julius

His Modern Aces album has been released as a two-fer with the Afro Sounders album.
His Modern Aces ensemble took advantage of the sounds of highlife coming out of a just recently independent Ghana
and fused it with soul, jazz and a smattering of Cuban swing. When you hear what was popular in the mid-60s Nigeria -
singles like Topless, Jagua Nana, E Se Re Re, and Ololufe you can understand its immediate popularity.
The key differences between these two bands is that although both are tremendous, you get a bit more jazz and funk
along with some more daring playing from Julius and more stretching out by the band in the Afro Sounders line-up.

By the early to mid 70s, Orlando Julius' star-power was beginning to be eclipsed by Fela and so America called and he
answered by, first, starting another band called, Umoja, then was whisked away by Hugh Masekela to play in his band.
Touring, teaching and collaborations followed with a long stint with the Heliocentrics. Two good places to start.

Having the opportunity to study with Hermann Nitsch was one of those decisions that,
at first, was a difficult one to have to make. Very clearly, aspects of his work repulsed me,
but I had to weigh those against the fascinating aspects of ritual that were entrancing.
Sometimes, one has to recognize the repulsive and find a way to creatively substitute
those aspects with manners - ways of working - that will create your very own inner and
outer ritualisms to overcome those initial mental obstacles. Today: a daylong listening ritual.

One of many recordings today: the 51-Disc set:
