This is great!

He braketh ye olde mandolin. Comedy gold.

Going back through record collections leaves me in both wonderment and confusion.

The confusion stems from albums that I, to this day, cannot understand why I wasted the hard earned to buy.

But the wonderment is where it’s at.

Albums like “Far from refuge” by God is an astronaut just bring me so much joy. Ethereal guitars matched to a driving bass line and understated drumming make for a true experience.

In this day and age where money is tight and life is often a bleak experience you should look to your past. Hunt through the cupboards and boxes in the shed. Haul out the music of your youth and relive why you bought this music. Some will be bad but by god some of it will be good.

Kyuss were an excellent rock band. Drop C styley tuning, cock-rockin’ vocals, chugging riffs and an amazing rhythm section. Plug “Green Machine” into youtube and you’ll see what I mean.

Now head on over to the search box again and type in “Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs – Mama”. It’s kind of eerie. The chug’s there, the cock-rockin’s there, the bass and the drums, check. Just amazing Oz rock from a long time ago.

What comes around, goes around. I wait with baited breath for the next coming.
