It would be cool to meet up. Seattle is a bit of a drive from where I am, so I'll have to see how things work out. I don't really like beer much, but I'd bring some for you if you want. :)

I understand, though living in Texas, a couple of hours to get
somewhere is like a trip to the store :) I'll probably be good
for beer, I am sure I'll be sampling some of Seattle's
finest...if they have any :)

Survived? I probably wouldn't mind living in the Seattle area.
But I've heard the traffic can be worse than where I'm living
now.
Speaking of Australian bands, have you heard of one called 1927? I
came across them a few weeks back, 80's or 90's band, found a track
no,. but no-one is as good as midnight oil <snicker>
Yup, that was popular in the 80's. I think it was their only big one too
the cliff. The downtown area now looks like a war zone, with tents, homeless, drug addicts laying all around. Needles and human waste all over the ground. It has to be seen to be believed. I mostly enjoyed my time there, but would never go back now.

Midnight Oil was good right up until Red Sails in the Sunset, ok as far as Blue Sky Mining and then became rubbish. Wedding Cake Island! :P

You should try the Nigel's Song of the Day group on
Facebook. I've got everything from the 1920's to well,
mostly late 90's some 2000's+ stuff, but as we've already
established, most music after the 80's was pretty shite.
That's one reason I don't collect vinyl albums..There is also the fact that LPs cost an arm and a leg. New albums can go for $30 without shipping. You can get the digital version for a third of the

We had a raft of bands back then... Cold Chisel, The Angels, going back a bit, Masters Apprentices, Skyhooks, The Sunnyboys... we had the massive pub rock scene going on. Unfortunately it all died
when they bought out pokies here.. over a 1-2 year period every venue turned into a House of Mammon, gambling den.
Rose Tattoo even flew under the radar for a lot of locals too. But they put out some good stuff, Rock n' Roll Outlaw, Bad
boy for love, and the immortal "Stuck on you" who could pass up the lines.... "I had a fish named sam, he lived in a bowl, I
heated up the water so he wouldn't get cold, now he's gone now he's gone".
Porcupine Tree's LP is 34.99 on 2 discs and its not even the entire album!That's one reason I don't collect vinyl albums..There is also the fact that LPs cost an arm and a leg. New albums can
