Social Distortion.

One of the bands I was never able to see live.

Their albums make my commuting days rock.

Stephanie Says has made my day.

Pretty Things - the bastard child if Rolling Stones & Beatles mated.

Criminally neglected band, SF Sorrow & Parachute are as good as any record made by the others. As is their early R&B records.

It’s possible a relative was conceived there.

Just saying.

It’s Penelope Houston Tribute Day.

From #punk singer to glorious folk-pop-rock, she has an exquisite voice & talent.

FYI, I mute or block accounts that flog #Amazon products and services.

Never buy music from Amazon when there are so many independent music stores and websites to support.

I worship early Alice Cooper Band LPs: Easy Action, Killer, Love It to Death, School's Out, Muscle of Love and Billion Dollar Babies.

Then Alice became a joke act & his albums deteriorated.

This reformation of surviving members is school-years fun. It's hilarious, tough & funny.

Chuck Berry’s Golden Decade Vol 2.

Indispensable record for when you need to remember the great joys of life.

Reminds me of playing tennis racquet guitar while blasting parents tinny stereo as loud as it would go.

Love this album.

(1974) Reminds me of hanging in Anthony Giuseppe DeFalco 's basement here in North Jersey. My non pot friends. They had a whole rock band set up in the basement and played music while Mrs. DeFalco made stuffed artichokes upstairs and smoked Virginia Slims. #MusicSky

Surviving a heat wave with some exquisite British folk-rock, perfect for a hot work-from-home day.

Traffic, what a superb band. Never tire of this album. It blew my mind when I heard it as a wee lad.

No artist has ever covered this song has reached the level of greatness Bob Dylan brings vocally, the pace, the pathos- it’s just so devastatingly perfect.

Dylan perversely leaves some of his greatest works off his albums, only to surface on Bootleg Series.

Blind Willie McTell - how he could not have included that, or about 50 other great songs?
Sits easily among his best. Although we don't have to play such games (because we have access to it all) I like to think of what I would trade out for Series Of Dreams, Dignity and Born In Time, which are insanely strong tracks from the sessions not included at the time.

Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy.
Superbly produced, not a dud track, this IMO is Dylan’s finest album since Desire & Blood on the Tracks.

His vocals are haunting & prophetic, the musicianship never bettered.

Has anyone in the media looked at the role of former Senator Linda Reynolds in (not) enforcing the National Gun Register?

She was the responsible Minister in Abbott govt.

Gun control never happened.

National Party leader says guns aren’t the problem after two gunman slaughter Jewish people in Bondi.

There’s never been a mass shooting without guns.

Farmers don’t need handguns & automatic weapons.

Right-wingers are a substantive threat to us.

Maybe if it was Manly Beach, when you and family are enjoying a fun afternoon, you might not be so sanctimonious.

You may be in a critical care unit, or morgue.

But I’m sure your views will be noted by those who survive.

His own people? Australians? In Bondi? Is he the King of the Jews? No, hang on, wasn’t that Jesus?

Don’t realise we still label all people this way.
December 15, 2025 at 9:01 AM
You can’t blame Prime Minster Albanese because Australia is full of racists, antisemites & far right Nazi thugs.

It’s historic. The country was founded on invasion, massacres & violence towards ‘others’.

Bondi was my home. I lived across the road from where 16 people were massacred.

Terrorists select iconic targets & always murder the defenceless and innocent.

The harm this will cause to Jewish & Muslim Australians is immeasurable.

We must disarm citizens, it’s the only way.
December 14, 2025 at 8:48 PM
Debate? 16 innocent people gunned down at Bondi Beach - police haven’t issued details about motive etc & you want to ‘debate’ this.

With respect Peter, go fuck an unripened durian fruit.
An inability to engage in serious debate always seems to result in puerile offensive abuse.

Mudcrutch - the band that helped launch Tom Petty.

Wish I got this on #vinyl but the CD makes for perfect cooking music while preparing a deliciously hot curry.

Genuine music fans recognise we all have different tastes, styles & likes.
Only the immature & infantile rubbish other peoples music choices.

Siri, I’m writing an essay on people who are such wankers they need to post it online so the world recognises their abject tosserism.

Can you share the best example, please.
