So much variety through these Aussie episodes! who knew? My faves? Definitely The Lonely Hearts' "Last Kiss"! Ever since the Raspberries and Cheap Trick, I am a sucker for decent Power Pop. I also dug the frenetic "Buzzsaw Popstar", which sounded to my ears a little like the Dead Kennedys. Lime Spiders and Boys Next Door were also stand outs on this one. Cheers!
Hey there, KB-- Glad you appreciated the power pop selections. They were a nice balance to the more punk-oriented offerings. I agree with your take on "Buzzsaw Popstar"... The Vampire Lovers must've been familiar with D.K.s oeuvre... :-)
Thanks for the shoutout and playing the Mark of Cain track. What a great band they were! I loved the X track, it’s probably my favorite song of theirs. Loved to the Black Assassins song too; I definitely need to find their greatest hits album. This was another all killer, no filler episode! Thanks again.
Hey Alan. Glad you enjoyed the music and caught your shoutout.
Thanks for the tip on Mark of Cain.
I’ve got 2 more Aussie-centric podcasts planned. There’s more killer stuff to come!
Hiya Tom D, That was quite a rockin’ high-energy set. My absolute favorite was Mark of Cain. An excellent recommendation. Also really enjoyed Lime Spiders, The Inner Sleeves, and The Singles. I’m still blown away by the musical chops and excellent production by these down under bands. Keep it coming!
Glad you enjoyed it, my friend!
