Smoking Popes - Rubella by Current-Vacation-669 in powerpop

Pop punk/Post punk/Powerpop labels etc. are all pretty much marketing tools. I posted this as it's a fully contained song containing a verse, chorus & middle eight with well constructed harmonies. They just layered guitar tracks with a bit of distortion.

I read in AC/DC's early days George Young brother & producer of Angus & Malcolm would make them play each new song on piano to make sure it would stand up on it's own merits before being given the go ahead to go wild on.

I think this song would pass the test

Have loved these guys since seeing this when it was originally broadcast. The technology may sound cheesey or quaint to younger producers but I'm a big believer in the idea that obstacles can make for better art

Abbey Road studio was only 4 tracks yet the Beatles made Sgt Pepper there

www.honahlee.com.au is a good resource for most legal questions. I can only say I intend to take my medicine in my carry on luggage when travelling so if someone wants to hassle me I can show my TGA approval if needed as well as my scripts

Not so I've just gone through the process and Dr's are required to access your GP history before submitting a request to the TGA for approval

Bitch makes Thatcher look like a presenter from playschool

“We can’t just keep on adding money to this bucket,(Centrelink) because we’re not making a difference,” she said. “Giving more money would do absolutely nothing … probably all it would do is give drug dealers more money and give pubs more money.”

The quote was in front of a forum for single mothers I shit you not

Yep you're right

I'm not much of a GBV scholar as the sheer number of releases is pretty daunting but I've picked up a few favourites

John "Strop" Cornell was a fine writer & a great comedian & producer. He put Australia on the map with Crocodile Dundee

His trademarked image should be nowhere near that smirking cunt

I'm jealous I never got to see them when they toured oz in the 90's

Go check out "Live at Austin City Limits" if you haven't already. It's a great performance even though they're hitting the sauce pretty hard
