    The Sleepy Jackson latest album is crap, but their self titled album from a few years ago was sensational. And thank God here in Melb we have RRR and PBS both play excelent music.

    Anyone in Melb want to hear THE BEST 3 hours of adult music listen (loud) to RRR and the Skull Cave Friday arvo from 3 to 7 The Phantom rocks

    I've given up listening to the radio... the last time I flicked thru the airwaves 'til I found a station that had real music, the first station break came up to announce we were "listening to the Golden Oldies." :eek: George Thoroughgood ain't that old hat, surely?

    I've nothing against modern music, I hear it all the time. Not that I have any choice. But if I am choosing the tune, it'll be something that I will actually listen to instead of just ignoring.

    If it should happen to be a grampa station, so be it. [sigh]
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    The problem with kids music today is the pokies (stay with me on this one). Since pubs started putting in pokies, the number of nights a band would be on at the local have proportionally dropped off.

    Long gone are they days of seeing the Oils, Celebate rifles, radio birdman, sunnyboys, guru's, or even an unknown band at any pub any night of the week. Now it's just the sound of people putting their coin in the one arm bandits or some poxy try-hard with a bad hair cut flicking the lights on and off in time with the doof doof music.

    The less people are exposed to a 110dB lead guitar solo, the more chance they will be Pimms quaffing, purse carrying sooky-la-la's

    Unfortunately, I missed the golden era of pub rock in Sydney. In the years before I moved there, I used to read about all these bands in RAM, but a couple of years before I finally arrived, the new fire regulations went through all the venues and closed two thirds of them down. By the time I got there, a lot of the places I had read about were no longer open or no longer putting on bands.

    One of the places that still was doing it was the old Mosman Hotel (RIP). I stayed there for a week when I first arrived and there were bands on every night. Some of them were absolute crap.

    I played in a few bands over the years at places like The Kardomah Cafe (later the Tom Tom Club), Old Windsor Hotel, The Marble Bar. The Tom Tom club was our regular gig for a while, usually mid week. I used to go to places like the Annandale Hotel, The Lewisham, The Sandringham, that place down at Coogee (mental blank). Do any of those places still have bands on?

    Live music has been waxing and waning in Sydney for years. It's not dead yet but it was coughing up blood last night...
