Show 69: Some Day We'll Be Dignified & Old

So here it is, 3:15pm the afternoon before the 3nd of November (Radiothon!) show and i am writing the blog for last weeks show!

What do you expect from the best radio show in the world, commitment? dedication? fuck that, i have been partying like a teenager for my 30th. Thats right folks you read that correctly, I, Tristan have reached the magical 30 and you'll never guess what has changed........... nothing!

Now both of us are over the age of 30, you may think we'll calm down, stop living life like it needs a drink, but alas fair readers that aint for us!

As far as the show went, i had a blast, lots of goood tunes, some hilarious (to us anyway) moments, a couple of excellent dim sims and a broken audio device made for an interesting show that kept us on our toes, but on our toes is where we do our best work!

Peace out ya'll & thanks to everyone (especially Lee in The Patch) for making saturday night fucking awesome!!!!!

Show 68: Doomestic Disputes

Yes its that time of year again Doomsday is upon us this weekend, but before we get into that we have some seriously fun new stuff from poseidotica these guys are full on freakout awesome and worth checking, Desert wizards, surprisingly not what i expected going by the name, but new and awesome all the same so they both made to the top of the best new tunes around this week so are well worth listening to... Choegaze post rock walll of guitar face planting itself out of your stereo and into every oriface of your being, alcest are in town, supported by heirs if your there your gonna enjoy but for those needing a certain amount of more sludge in thier diet get yourself to the weekend melbourne becomes a doom haven with massive day/night of gbands at the NSC on saturday and a huge arvo at the tote on sunday, definitely worth checking Cough, the main US imports for this years festival playing a headline slot at both nights... will we be hardcore enough to do both... only time will tell but considering last years destroyed me for a good few days i think i'll probably wuss out on the tote gig, which is a shame, as are all fresh non doomsday bands appearing, apart from cough, so hopefully the crowd can resurface from a long day of boozing and hit up the tote for a good time not a long time finishing at 10:30... odd

anyway im gonna go eatr something, thune in this week for a tristan Birthday special!!!!!!!!!!!

Show 67: Six Demon Bag

So back to your regular programming after a couple of mixed up weeks there, hope you enjoyed your coz hiatus as you wont be getting another one for a while, and im pretty excited with some fresh moves to help us through this weary second year of broadcasting that we are now in...

but anyway lets talk about some music real quick. new radio moscow is kick arse, no excuses for any bands that seem to dwindle on thier brand of awesome music when you see these guys produce a third album that packs just as or maybe an even greater punch as thier earlier efforts, check it out, we gave you a double dose tonight just to ram it home,

but something special is a brewing in melbourne this weekend with heaps of quality dudes playing we gave a decent helping of the variety out there this weekend, and as slack as i was i managed to get to the mushroom giant gig which was mighty impressive and those guys are still writing with some new material, but thier shows are great fun where they really put a bit of effort into the visuals with a great series of projections that seem to mix with almost perfectly with the riffs and allow you to have an all round treat to the senses at the gigs of the shroom giants... big apologies for the SunSheperd gig, i got lost in a bottle of Gin and didnt find my way out until the other side of the weekend, but met a crazy guy called gordon who showed me the not so true meaning of suttle drunkeness which isnt trying to shred harry belafonte vinyls into a glorious meld with the king, anyway, nuff of that night said, leave it for the horrified highly moral sober onlookers to explain i think.

Yeah webber'd up a bork belly stuffed with a whole rosemary bush, a few bulbs of garlic and 600grams of bacon..... was alright, pretty sure no-one got sick so its a win.

and the 3MDR MurDeR radio triple homicide with three killer tracks tonight went out to the kyuss loving chick who was chopping up some firewood for us last weekend, sexy tattooed up woman wielding an Axe and talking about StonerRock is defintely worthy of a shoutout!!

So if you like comus, check out steeleye span, and new colour haze, now that issomething worthy of leaving to play in the CD player to cruise home early listening to, yes, sad indeed, we're that bad we are having to be our own audience....

Show 66: Is It The Radio, Radio, Makin The Freaks Freakout?

Ok so no Coz this week, as the show wound up he was takin to the stage of the Espy basement to show St.kilda how its done! Following them was the almighty Van Cleef and i bet that Riff Fist provided a hard act to follow.

Not to diminish the excellence that is Van Cleef, but we here at the official pilot the dune blog are a little biased towards the fist!

Twas great havin Claire (le Choward) in the studio for the show tonight, not only for her excellent taste in tunes and soup, but for the company she provided, because yeah, just between you and me internett, the idea of doing a show solo was freaking me the fuck out!

Hope you all enjoyed the Post Rock vibe the start of the show had. When you get excellent new tracks from Kerreta & Laura THEN you have Mono in town this week & These Hands Could Separate The Sky playing @ The Grace Darling on Sat night, Post Rock seems like a valid option.

Ok people, stay wonderful, stay safe and above all, avoid hangovers by staying drunk!
