Show 26: Radio With Muscles

Christmas on the dune has happenned, with a more finer sampling of christmas tunes than you are likely to come across anywhere else on the airwaves.

We gave a serve of the fantastic sons of the ionian sea in celebration of their vinyl launch this weekend and god damn are we happy that has finally arrived! bring a beard to the tote on xmas eve for 5 bucks off and some cool giveaways!

Christmas jollies allround with a film review being the scarrilly bad santa with muscles starring the hulkster what more can be said other than dont bother unless you are deaf and blind and want to piss off some dinner guests.

Christmas kitchen goodness with all my secret classic meals stolen by celebrity chefs this year i had to settle for the old cozza classic christmas pavlova, all the chrissy colours represented ontop of the worlds tastiest cake base the pavlova. firstly dump a load of cream on top, then grap a heavy blunt instrument and two packs of peppermint crisp choc things belt them till they crumble and sprinkle ontop of pav, next cut up some straberries and give them a home with the choc mint crumble and there you go a half arsed 15 buck 15 min cake, time can be cut down if you are focused and not distracted by booze and apache helicopters encircling boronia.

anywawy the vibes not here this time is it, tune in though, its not that hard, and we are heaps better live and in the flesh then reading about it and seeing what i got out of those hard fought years of creative writing at school, yep good times

Lastly we included a lesson in stocking sampling of old 60's wild west cowboy vinyls with the bombastic frankie laine giving you what for. so thats about it.

Show 25: Jigging & Gigging

Gig fiesta this week where we rounded out the year thus far for what live music we wwent to see and pretty much filled the playlist all with bands that are on show in ye olde melbourne town this weekend. we finally had a chance to discuss the better of steven segals 80's films of fury with Above the Law, something that took me back a few years to getting it on video and watching it purposely because every time it was on TV they would chop out the bloody violence and back in the day we regarded it as one of the better violent action films availiable to us, but oh yes was i an unworldy boy in those early years with so many bloodbath treats already lying in wait....

Show 24: When We Say Your Name Please Say "Here" & We'll Take That To Mean "Here I Am, Rock Me Like A Hurricane".

For a show so purely focused on the magnificent bands we saw at the volcanicly plagued roadburn in Tilburg Netherlands, you may be surprised by the why we chose a scorpions themed title to the blog, well yes, i am too. but scorpions were given a spin to celebrate ziggys 59th birthday, Big ups to franny and glen who also share this birthday week, congrats amigos!

Now roadburn, a festival without any piers, or peers, a festival where you can go from seeing the awesome might of the man John Garcia on mic to getting lost in the epical soundscape offered by the small group of fellas from melbourne that are Ahkmed in only a few steps, a range of artists all coming together with the one intention, to play a range of great music that you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else under the one same roof ( or a few hundred metres up the road because there is just too much cream for the cone, ewww didn't mean it like that you dirty barsted)

So we tried to bring you a selection of our faves that we saw, and sadly had to cull a great many, but there will always be another night in the studio and another level to crank full and another speaker to push to fuzzy limit as we try every week to bring you the best we can find on offer in the world rocking goodness.

I am writing this and it really feels like its all being written with no rhyme or reason, just a lot of heart and good feelings about what we do and enjoy every week. I look forward to next week with the opportunity to just sit back and do what we do with less self imposed stress to bring you all thats heavy and the bestest tunes from a festival of the heaviest heavy weights of heavy fuzzy psychedelic grooves, damn i'll stop there its all getting pretty mushy and wanky and full of myself that im almost embaressed to put it up there, look at it now im fucking reading this shit and who the fuck writes that, what the fuck am I daniel steel? some wanktard politicion trying to get you blindfolded right wing christian liberals to still vote for me after those photos of my drug fuelled alien themed orgy hit the media? huh, huh.....

nah fuck it, don't know whats happenning to me, its all tripe and dribble, i actually had a dream last night i banged my girlfriend and her two sisters in my lounge room on a purple and blue flowerbed and then my fuckwit neighbour dressed up like a cowboy and came in on a horse and was jumping through the walls of the house pretending to be frankie lane, yeah i reckon i found a one way ticket wrongtown somewhere in all this, ah just shut up heres the play list

Yeah, feel free to edit the fuck out of this one dude.

Show 23: Bon Scott Hood Ornaments...

back on planet earth with a bit of a different format this time around.

Got Bealy from roundabout, our preceeding show, to stick around for a guest spot in our cooking sensation macgyver meal of the week being tuna more ey! a great kitchen cupboard clearer with enough spice to clear out some other areas too! the secrets all in the choice additives and the masterful creation of some of the worlds bestest bechemel. the trick was to try it with the regular pasta but also make a seperate dish with almost dissimilar ingredients except for the rice and a couple of things i ran out of the first time i had a crack at it. so yeah , what im saying is one with rice and one with rice and corn pasta stuff to keep all you stupid yaks happy. all in all it was awesome so email us if you would like a recording of the recipe sent to you ;)

we then found greatness in bringing you a leslie nielson tribute with intended homage to richard prior that fell horribly short, but had a good time bringing you samples and stories from our favourite gigs from the first three months of this year. and we look forward to bringing you a lot more as the final month of closure of 2010 reaches its climax. Next week will be a bit of a roadburn 2010 special, a great festival of heavy sounds held in tilburg netherlands each year, sadly we have missed out on tickets for next years festival due to no fault of our own. but will do our best to keep the rock alive for everyone over that inevitable sad time when april comes around.

one last thing i would like to say is Pillow are brilliant, seeing them this weekend has renewed my faith in the lull we have seemed to have over most of this year in melbourne with only one or two quality gigs a month if your lucky, probably more but being out in the hills, rocking melbourne seem sto get harder and harder. still they are brilliant and news of new songs is always good as that leads to new releases and of course more live gigs from a great live band will follow.

bring it on and looking forward to 2011's offerings already
