Milo I need linkies to your songs or something because I am way uncooler than flauta and have no idea what any of them are

careful now! you got me started! ..... here are two mp3s via yousendit:

The Flavor - Girlfriend Says (1997) Orange County, California band that self-released one album and disappeared.

Aztec Camera - Still on Fire (1984) Very 80s sounding tune with a jazz flavor. This is the opening track off 1984 release Knife. Aztec Camera's bigger songs probably include Oblivious (youtube video) and The Crying Scene (youtube video). ETA: Ah, Still on Fire had a video too. Boy does he (Roddy Frame) look 80s.

Ha! I'd never seen that video before. How hot was he in those bright red trousers?

err...

but, in Good Morning Britian, he's much cooler, if only because Mick Jones helps out.

ETA: another mid-80s video that was super-cheesy though the song is great: Hits of the Year by Squeeze.

Heh...sarcasm!

Ah, better. There's a part of me that misses the lower-key videos of the 80s and 90s. I'm not so much a fan of today's music vid scene. But I suppose I don't watch a lot of them anymore as it is...

whoooooaaaaa...the fact that this thread is here indicates our group has some very serious internet addiction issues

[oweniscool]

I thought after over a week of not checking in there'd be some interesting stuff to catch up on... but besides Elixir's video there's really nothing. That and Alissa quitting, which is sad. And the last puzzle looks stupid.

meh, sorry for the double post.

Hope you enjoy.

Ten Days - Missy Higgins
Love Missy. Her accent really comes through when she sings, I love it.

Sarah - Eskimo Joe
Pretty cool song from earlier this year. This band have been around for a while but didn't do as well as an angsty teenage punk rock band, as they are doing now.

Sunsets - Powderfinger
One of the most successful band in Australia. This is one of their best songs in my opinion.

Zebra - John Butler Trio
JBT is awesome. John is well known for making political statements in his music, especially in defense of the environment and world peace. He is sometimes called the "million dollar hippy."

Crazy - Katie Noonan
A special one for our friend who knew too much. It is a recording of a performance at the Prince Of Wales by my favourite singer, in Melbourne on 21.06.07.

That was great Jack, thanks for sharing. I thought it was kind of funny the way the little ball and lyrics still went, even though they weren't actually singing the words. Hehe.

I love how eclectic YouTube is. You can find just about anything on there these days. I would love to get my parents and grandparents involved in it as I know they would enjoy finding things like this, my Nanna especially. But they are all a little bit scared to use computers.
