Got a Dose of Anitpodean Goodness

One way in which I consider myself fortunate is that I live in a locale which actually has a mighty fine commercial radio station, a station which plays an eclectic mix of popular music from the past fifty years and a nice assortment of new releases. Last night, I heard a classic track by Australian band Hunters and Collectors, a band I'd posted a video for in an older entry. Anyway, here's the video for the song I heard last night, the oft-covered Australian classic Throw Your Arms Around Me:

Artificial hipster.

Love the intro!
The Youtuberfied version is labelled "Demo", and it is missing the stonking great gut-rattling boom during the percussion break. You really need to listen to the version that was actually released.

I shall seek it out.

go along to a small club here to see him a few years ago ,( something that i rarely do as i've mentioned near , the singer and i did a odd little exchange in the under path after the stage , )

That's a nice little anecdote. It's always nice to see a band you enjoy in a smaller venue.

so listen to the full of the first album while you are on guard at work on a head set .. it will keep you very primal and alert when you are weary

This is advice I can use. I will be ever vigilant.
