It's the iPod pot-luck megamix today - just switched it into shuffle mode and I'll take my chances. Got a bit of everything, from Brian Eno to Slayer which should keep it interesting

Currently playing: "Collision" by Loop, a good earwax-shifting choon if ever there was

[EDIT: Now listening to the copy of "Diesel and Dust" by Midnight Oil which had been sitting in my pigeonhole at work since before Christmas and I was stricken with the pig plague]

Currently listening to Radcliffe & Maconie. They have just had the first segment of guests British Sea Power, which proved to be a somewhat ragged conversation. I think cannabis may have been involved. It may well be worth listening out for more golden embarrassment later.

Compliance issues so far include references to 'special cream', and having a Jodrell Bank.

That's a mighty fine tune!

Today, amongst other things I've been listening (hard) to "Say something in Welsh, Lesson 5". The word for milk appears unpronounceable!

Just been listening to "Snap", a 2 LP collection by The Jam.....

Going Underground was released in 1980, reading the papers seems like going back in time...

"What you see is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants"

Mclusky - snotty, shouty, ranty indie rock from S Wales. Sadly now defunct.

It's hard not to like a band which came up with song titles like "Your Children Are Waiting for You to Die", "Whiteliberalonwhiteliberalaction", "The Gift of Slight" and "Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues".

Mr TNT brought me a humungous box earlier. Carrying it 8 flights of stairs was a bit knackering...

A Michell Orbe..... Tecnoarm is fitted and it's now annoying the neighbours nicely..

Midnight Oil, "Diesel & Dust" at the moment, sounding good

Ironically enough, I was listening to that on my iPod on the bus home.
Listening to it now - got my favourite track ('Warakurna') belting out at obscene volume whilst I fill in bloody insurance accident report forms. I suppose on a rig like yours, Peter Garrett will sound more like a strangled cat than he usually does

EDIT: Might still have my original (1986) vinyl copy of "Diesel and Dust" kicking around somewhere. Nowt to play it on, though ....

EDIT 2: Just occurred to me that "Beds Are Burning" is one of the first songs I learned to play on the bass. Not that it's difficult - the bassline to "Bullroarer" is surprisingly complex, however.

It's the only Oils album I've got on vinyl, the rest are on CD. Must check the charity shops again.....

We have Pete Garrett's double on the forum as well, a better singer than politician from my occasional reading of Australian news sites...

I've adopted Diesel and Dust as the 'theme album' of my planned ride across Western Australia in a couple of years time - kind of apt, since I'll be visiting some of the places mentioned on the album (including the Gunbarrel Highway¹ and Warakurna/Giles - big, fat sand tyres FTW!)

I'd love to have my Surly frame redone in an aboriginal stylee, but sadly it would be considered offensive by some, and not just because it'd be ridden by a pasty Pom

Back on topic, I've got the iPod Genius feature picking some choons for me as I type ...

¹ - Riding on sand is hard. Training for desert riding in the UK is even harder² - several trips to hot and dusty places are planned between now and the Oz trip. If anyone knows how I can get copies of Len Beadell's books without having to sell a kidney, then please let me know
² - Towing a trailer with a pair of water carriers on will be even more interesting.

Have you read "Cold Beer & Crocodiles" ? A good account of a circumnavigation by bike.

It's on my Amazon wishlist, along with several other items of Australia-related reading material. Need to get my cashflow sorted out first though.

I'm not going for a circumnavigation (sadly) but more of a 'ride from the edge to the middle then turn right and keep going until you get wet feet' (ie. Perth to Alice Springs to either Adelaide or Melbourne, via lots of sandy bits)

PM me an address and I'll stick it in the post. Got Discovery Road as well, which has an Aussie section.

Cheers - I'm happy to give you something for it, though.
I read "Discovery Road" before Christmas and it was largely the Aussie section which resulted in the book being donated to the British Heart Foundation - if they'd concentrated more on writing about the country and the people instead of bickering amongst themselves then it would have been good.

Currently playing: Brian Eno, "The Shutov Assembly" ... nice, floaty ambient choonage.
