the Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck but the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up

We had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars

Like wow, wipeout. I was gone the moment I laid eyes on you.

Figured I’d put a link to the songs.

Beautiful girl lovely dress
High school smiles oh yes

Oh baby you got me in the shape I’m in.

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened

Smoke she is a rising Fire

Hope you don't mind, but I switched your link to a decent video, the one you posted was crap.
Ian Astbury is a fkkn nutcase, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. Up there with Julian Cope.
Love Removal Machine is a balls out classic belter.

Tell me about it was crewing with them on their Qld leg For a week back in mid 80’s... Up there with Painters n Dockers but Iggy Pop topped them all for the biggest nutter...

I used to go see the Painters and Dockers a lot.
I mean every gig they played within 200km of Melbourne.
They were awesome live, and Paul Stewart was probably certifiably insane.
Only ever saw Iggy at The Big Day Out, but saw The Cramps twice in one weekend.
It all seems so fkkn long ago.
So, have this...

Don't just sit there being placid, get into some psychopathic acid

Aaaah the good old days of the pub gigs... Walk out of one pub from the Dockers and the pub on the other corner would have Hunters and Collectors playing... Go 50m down the street and the Sunnyboys where supporting Hoodoo Gurus...

Hey you, don't watch that, watch this!

For we may not be the young ones very long.

How do I know all these songs?

So, I used to go and see a lot of bands in the 80's and 90's.
I'd just arrived in Melbourne, still wet behind the ears, coming from the country where the radio station (the only one!) played both kinds of music
Finding 3XY was amazing, but then finding 3RRR and 3PBS was life changing!
Did you know that in the 70's/80's heyday of 3XY it was owned by the Liberal Party as a fundraising machine?
This was the same time that 2JJ and 4ZZ were running in Sydney and Brisbane. It was a good time for Aussie independent music.
I'll give a big shout out here to the late, great Stephen Walker and the still great Karen Leng, both formerly on 3RRR, for expanding my musical horizons.
Anyway, I fell willingly into the alternate/punk scene in Melbourne, but that was not the limit of my musical tastes.
It's fair to say that I always liked my music to be fast and loud, The Cosmic Psychos, The Meanies, The Painters and Dockers, TISM, but I had already heard The Cocteau Twins, and then one day I heard Portishead.
Portishead, Massive Attack and the other trip hop bands out of Bristol were a revelation. I knew of nothing like it in Melbourne, but this was the early 90's and the internet was still a pipe dream.
I was a frequent attendee at electronic and industrial music gigs, pretty much anything with Ollie Olsen involved, but to hear such heavy beats in a laid back choon... watcha smokin man?
It was only ever a half step away to the English dub revolution and the On U Sound recordings of Adrian Sherwood.
While all this was happening I starting work, and traveling for work.
I remember being in Netherlands in 1992, seeing posters for The Cosmic Psychos, always for the day before I arrived in town, for three days running. I was pissed off to the max!
The same happened with Massive Attack in New Zealand. I was never a lucky traveler, apart from rarely losing my luggage (I was going to say never, but then I remembered the USA)
I had tickets for Nirvana in '92. My brother got to see a lot of good gigs at my expense.
Traveling almost non stop for 15 years from 2001 meant that I missed out on a few things.
LCD Soundsystem for one. Sigur Rós for another.

So, what's your excuse?
