Ahhh, The Frogs. They have a song for everything.

Dedicated to Bender Cousins, I've Got Drugs - The Frogs.

I've done drugs that would blow your mind tonight
Real fine tonight
Blow your mind tonight
Outta my mind tonight, tonight
Going outta my mind tonight
Outta my mind tonight
Blow your blind tonight

(I've got a suitcase full of drugs)
(I can turn you on)
Would you like to come along?
I'd like to come along
I've got drugs
(Cum!)
Where you going, man?
I've got drugs
Can I come wherever it is, man?
I've got drugs
I've got blues
I'll do your dope, I'll be your dope man

(Much as I can, _______ people)
Outta the mist there's a pimp
Outta the mist there's a hooker
(priest)
Outta the mist there's a priest
(with a joint in his hand)
Outta the mist
(I kissed you)

Outta the mist how could I miss you with your drugs?
Outta the mist how could I miss you with your druggy ways?
(your drugs)
Outta the mist
(I missed you)
Outta the mist
Outta the mist I kissed your lovely drug-filled lips

You sleazy prostitute
Where's your pimp friend?
Where's your pimp friend and your priest?
As he stood there and lectured me on how I should live abouts
(on his yeast infection)
****ing priest with a yeast infection
A drug problem that never existed
Outta the mist I kissed your drug-filled lips

And dedicated to Richard Dawkins: God is Gay by The Frogs also.

As God as my judge, God is gay
As God as my judge
There was something strange about Lucifer
Something wrong with his hand
There was something strange about Jesus
He didn't follow Lucifer's commands
Lucifer said, "Jesus, be straight"
And Jesus said, "The gates would never open if this was true"
Oh, something about a vision in a park
Of Jesus holding hands with an angel named Lark McGee
Lucifer therefore lost his wings
And all the angels sing, all the angels sing
God is gay, God is gay

I absolutely love The Church. But Under The Milky Way would still be my favourite song. I know... cliched...

I just love the way every alternate music act in Australia since, has used the guitar jangles or the "hung" notes. I just always have the utmost respect for people when they start such an enduring thread. From music like The Hummingbirds to heavier stuff like the Tucker b's. I guess the influence shows up a lot in the Perth art-rock music as well. I'll post some of it for you. There's a fair chance you'll like it if you like if you like The Church.

Saw Cinema Prague and Fall Electric last night. Brilliant. I love listening to talented universal music, that would appeal to anyone of any age, from most musical tastes.

Here it is. In my mind, the crowning moment of Perth music is in this song, and the high point of the Perth Art-Rock scene. Mukaizake were by far the best band Perth has produced in the last 20 years.

Out of all the bands that have come out of Perth, both good and horrible, Mukaizake could have been the most successful by far, if they had wanted to be. I am yet to hear a negative word about them after having someone listen to them, and everyone I took to see them fell in love with them without exception. They broke many hearts the day they broke up.

People may have seen Simon Struthers on TV a few weeks back after the death of Charmaine Dragun. This was one of his bands. And she was there for just about all their shows.

For whatever reason, this song brings up themes of suicide and death for me.

"Head in the clouds again,
Hoping one more time that this is the last time,
My head's in the clouds again.
...
But you saw me slip away,
Shining a light on where it all went wrong."

But enjoy this beautiful song. It's certainly a song that can be enjoyed by anyone in any age group.

Mukaizake - Pilot

If you are into Gyroscope you should check out a band called Kill Teen Angst. They should be getting signed to a co-owned label of mine in the near future. But shhh... no-one is supposed to know. I sort of hope they are signed to someone bigger, because they are good friends of mine.

Anyway, they recently won the WAM rock song of the year (Western Australian Music Industry) which has launched just about every big name act from here. Are currently on a big tour with Jebediah, through the north and gold fields, and south coast. They have supported international acts along with big local acts such as Gyroscope who they've been likened to.

Their supporter base is largely made up of musicians, and it used to be a common thing at their gigs to have only 10 or so people rock up, and the majority of those being from Perth's biggest bands. Over the years they've had a lot of JJJ airplay when Perth bands are on homegrown. Everyone from Jebs and Gyroscope to The Panics have put them on. People regard them as being the band with the best chemistry and interplay between the guitars and bass, in Perth.

They are also perhaps one of the loudest bands in Perth. Keep an eye out for them though, plans are afoot for a big east coast tour in the new year. It's just good to see that after years of plugging, some of my mates are actually going places.

And their award winning, and non-loud song, The World Or Nothing (it's about playing at the Hydey):

Here's one that is about suicide, 'Small Mercies, Sweet Graves' by Schvendes.

These guys have been long time local favourites of mine. Took a while for them to get a following, but they are off and cracking now.

They have an interesting following too. Quite an eclectic bunch. Their shows tend to be gatherings for post-grad students and arty wankers.

Anyway, they jokingly decribe themselves as post-orchestral, which is kind of apt. Notoriously hard to describe and categorise, which is prety awesome in my view - most of their songs are about suicide, with a lot written about domestic violence and effed up relationships in general. Racey, the lead singer, is without doubt the best vocalist in Perth, and has been for years. She really should get into opera, or some kind of jazz. Her talent must have something to do with her huge set of... ahhh... lungs.

My favourite song of theirs would have to be 'Twice the Man', which you can listen to here:

In the meantime enjoy Small Mercies, Sweet Graves.

Cheers.
 
My eldest son bought me the new Silver Chair CD , haven't made my mind up whether the Frog album was better yet , but I can't get "straight lines" out of my head ..........
 
I love my music.................

Must say one of my favorite rock bands would be 'You Am I', front man Tim Rogers is a talented musician. I particularly like the album 'Dress Me Slowly' and two tracks from it 'Beautiful Girl & Sugar' but the whole album is excellent!

Check out 'The Frames' an Irish band, very good. Especially the album 'Set List - Live in Dublin', another of my all time favorite albums. Have a listen to the song 'Star Star', its a slow one but brilliant!!

Also a huge hard trance, progressive trance, hard house fan. Love some fast & hard banging out raving tunes. Reminds me of the partying days in the UK.

In fact, i would be interested in expanding the dance music collection and keen to do some swapping (DVD's snail mail) with members if anyone has some. PM me if you are interested.

I have over 300gig of Mp3's but i am into the hard trance and hardcore rave style stuff at present.

But, i listen to all sorts of music, classical, rock, dance, chillout, you name it i listen to it. With the exception of rap and country!!!!

Saying that though, i do like 'The Streets' occasionally and i dont mind rap mixed in like Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit style.

I think that Split Enz's "I see red" would be a more than adequate soundtrack for today...

I see red, I see red, I see red...
