[00:02:28] Speaker C: Yeah, it's great to have you. [00:02:30] Speaker A: So in a little while, you gave us five songs to play in a bit. So we'll bring them in and we'll have a bit of a chat about those. [00:02:38] Speaker D: That music should have been ten, but yes, five. [00:02:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:46] Speaker C: How's bladder? [00:02:47] Speaker A: Can't go any longer. [00:02:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I call it half an hour into the show. It's like lu time. [00:02:57] Speaker D: We'll go, we'll go for drinks time. [00:02:59] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:03:02] Speaker A: There we go. So what are we, what are we drinking tonight? [00:03:06] Speaker D: I'm on the old Balta lager. [00:03:09] Speaker A: Bolt a lager. [00:03:10] Speaker D: Balta lager. [00:03:13] Speaker B: Drinking a lager, drinking a bit of wife beater. [00:03:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:18] Speaker D: It'S a little bit of a pre one. Before I get to a scotch. I'll have a scotch at the halfway mark. [00:03:23] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:03:24] Speaker A: Okay, well, get this super dry, the low carb. [00:03:28] Speaker D: That's exactly what I was going to get. [00:03:30] Speaker C: Yeah. Chose this one. Yeah. [00:03:32] Speaker A: Well, normally I'll have a gin, but I thought I'll get something different because Al's on the beer, so I might get some ginger. [00:03:39] Speaker B: James Squire, 150 lashes. Have a look at that. Yeah, look at the cloudiness of that amber. Amber. Liquid gold. [00:03:50] Speaker A: We were out on the weekend. We were walking around Perth and doing a bit of exploring. We go into a few bars and I'm like, I like to go into a bar that serves beer that I know. That I. That I like. But every bar we went into was all boutique stuff. He's like, what do you got? [00:04:07] Speaker B: Yeah, well. Well, I get a lot of that up here. [00:04:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:12] Speaker B: You know, so we've got a lot of boutique bars up my way. And I like pale ale. [00:04:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:19] Speaker B: And I like indian pale ale. I like special pale ale. So it's like, that's what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for a brand name. It's like, oh, payload. What's your payload like? And of course, the bar person is gonna go, oh, it's really good. [00:04:31] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:32] Speaker B: I mean, are they ever gonna go, nah, don't try it. [00:04:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:35] Speaker B: So, yeah, no, so you go for the beer you like, I go for pay. Well, I do. Don't care about the name. [00:04:41] Speaker A: So what happens if you don't like it? It comes out, it's a sheet one and you pay. [00:04:48] Speaker B: Well, I'll still think it. I'll buy a different one. Yeah. [00:04:52] Speaker D: $55 later. [00:04:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:58] Speaker B: But there's always that moment where you take a sip and go, yeah, gone. [00:05:03] Speaker A: Are the days when you can get. [00:05:04] Speaker B: Not buying that fucker again. [00:05:08] Speaker A: Gone are the days. 552 for one bourbon and cokes. [00:05:12] Speaker B: Oh, somebody posted on Facebook, it was an old. An old ad in the sound advertiser for the leisure in. And I thought it was really quite weird because Brian Walker used to do the formatting, how the ad would look. He'd send it off to the paper. But it had everything. It had the Wednesday night, the Friday night band, had the Saturday night band, had the Sunday. It had the special fight that was coming up, and it was a special. [00:05:37] Speaker C: Yep. [00:05:37] Speaker B: Dollar 20 bourbons. [00:05:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:44] Speaker B: Oh, this was early eighties. And the things. You know what upset me once? Not one friggin mention of Thursday night. No DJ, which was your prime. Yeah, it was. But the thing is people used to turn up anyway, they didn't have to advertise, but I was just a little bit miffed about that. You know, how, how great the band on Friday one night was, the Saturday band, a must see, you know, dollar 20 bourbons and, you know, forget about DK. [00:06:11] Speaker D: Yeah, I still remember those days, mate, when I worked at advantage on the Thursday night, I'd have the horror shift at nine. We'll all, you know, there'd be ten of us walking across the road on Reed Street, Simpson Avenue, queuing up to get into Seattle on a Thursday night. I think that's probably when I actually very first met you. I think it was 91, remember? [00:06:30] Speaker B: Yeah, would have been, yeah, it would have been around there, I think. [00:06:35] Speaker A: I didn't, didn't think anyone remembered advantage. [00:06:41] Speaker B: Was a manager over at advantage. [00:06:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:06:44] Speaker D: Yeah, I was over there. Might not. Gale. [00:06:47] Speaker C: Yep, yep. [00:06:49] Speaker B: Good old shop, that one. [00:06:51] Speaker C: It was. [00:06:51] Speaker D: I've got some good news, gentlemen. Yeah, I did, I did hear your, your last friend Al there, as promised, promised I mention your name, which he did. I was speaking to the, the honorable, off the war promotions gentleman, Brandon Chowdery today. [00:07:12] Speaker C: Oh. [00:07:14] Speaker D: And he's very excited, very excited to be part of a special guest on a pair of old jocks. [00:07:22] Speaker A: Well, there you go. We're growing. [00:07:23] Speaker B: Now, I did mention last week, Paul, we need to get to Brandon, and he's a lot of fun. [00:07:28] Speaker D: So I spoke to him today. He's going to have a good listen to us when it's available. And he said, absolutely. He does a couple of podcasts now, as you speak. He'd be more than happy to get on the arm. Pair of old drops. [00:07:42] Speaker A: Cool. [00:07:43] Speaker C: Yeah, that'd be good. [00:07:44] Speaker A: The more we can get, the better, because, uh, it's a bit boring talking to all the time about the same roller ring stuff. [00:07:52] Speaker B: Can I tell you? Yeah, yeah. Those days are long gone. Sharing a room, that doesn't happen anymore. It's like, no, no, I'm my own, I need my own room. [00:08:03] Speaker C: Yes. [00:08:04] Speaker B: Yeah, you can't get that. You can't get the triple B's in without your own room. [00:08:08] Speaker D: Thank fuck for that. Didn't need to know that one, Mike, did not mean. That is not a memory I would love to bring up every night that's. [00:08:14] Speaker A: Just gone over my head. [00:08:17] Speaker D: That's good. That is good. [00:08:21] Speaker A: It's got nothing about the shape of the arms. [00:08:24] Speaker D: No, fairly japanese. Yeah, the vital Japanese. We'll leave it at that. [00:08:33] Speaker B: No. Is there a message function in this, in this program, Paul? [00:08:37] Speaker A: Nuh. [00:08:37] Speaker C: Nuh. [00:08:39] Speaker B: All right, Jenner, if you end up watching this show, just stick your fingers in the ear right now. Go, la, la, la. So Abbb is when you've had a big night and you go, you know what? I'm gonna. Or I'm gonna go out for ABbb. I'm gonna go out for a beer. A bat and beer. [00:08:58] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:09:02] Speaker D: It's not really that. [00:09:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:04] Speaker D: Dramatic. [00:09:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:05] Speaker D: But it was very funny at the time. It's a little bit like, you know, do those sort of australian cigarettes. It's sort of one of those moments. I knew I'd get the other. [00:09:16] Speaker B: Can I tell this story, Paul? [00:09:18] Speaker D: Yeah, go for it, mate. Go for it. [00:09:20] Speaker B: So one night. One night we go to this comedy club, and it's with Brad's new girlfriend and her friends. And he ended up being his wife. Yeah, but she didn't know that Brad smoked. [00:09:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:36] Speaker B: And when we went and they all had tickets and we went to this comedy club in Northbridge and it was sold out because there was like, I'll just turn up. We might be able to get tickets. But it was sold out. So they all had tickets and they went in and Brad and I were like, should we do? I was like, well, we'll go. We're in person. We'll go for a beer. And Brad's like, kill for a cigarette. Oh, didn't you bring it? [00:09:58] Speaker C: No, no. [00:09:58] Speaker B: She doesn't think. She doesn't know I smoke. So we walk down Barrack street and there's this quickie mart. Asian supermarket. [00:10:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:07] Speaker B: I said, I'll go over there and get some smokes. And Brad says to me, do you think they'll sell australian cigarettes? [00:10:16] Speaker A: This is in Perth. [00:10:17] Speaker B: This is in Perth, Paul. [00:10:20] Speaker D: It's a Kodak moment. You probably really needed to be there. But he doesn't change the story. It's the same story for ten years. [00:10:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:27] Speaker A: No, I can understand it. [00:10:28] Speaker C: I can. Yeah. [00:10:30] Speaker A: Especially the quickie Mart, you know? [00:10:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:35] Speaker B: I did tell you once Brad's hobbies. I did tell you once that Brad's hobby is getting married. [00:10:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:42] Speaker A: When? [00:10:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:47] Speaker D: 2030 years ago. [00:10:49] Speaker C: Yeah. So what's. [00:10:52] Speaker A: What's been happening? You still DJ and Brad or. [00:10:54] Speaker D: Yeah, no, mate, I haven't. Well, the last DJ idea was a mate of mine's mate's wedding. [00:11:02] Speaker C: Yep. [00:11:03] Speaker D: In Perth. And. But prior to that, probably not for five years prior to that. And that was just, you know, he just sort of wanted a relaxed, eighties, nineties type wedding. [00:11:14] Speaker C: Yep. [00:11:14] Speaker D: Of a hillbilly type thing. And uh, you know, it was good. It was good to get the microphone back on and, and, you know, mix a few tunes, but, you know, it's, um. No, I haven't done it properly for. Oh, jeez. Would be probably eight years, nine years. [00:11:28] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:11:30] Speaker A: Do you ever get the urge to just want to go out and do it again? [00:11:34] Speaker D: That that particular wedding we're talking about probably gave you a little bit of an urge. [00:11:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:39] Speaker D: Um, but I sort of folded that. Like, I've got my security bodyguard license, so I sort of went more into that line of, I'll call it entertainment, even though I was working. Um, but I've always loved that music, all that sort of Aussie bands musics and doing security and all that. You're listening live to stuff that you play, that you've played at a wedding or a 21st or whatever the year it was. [00:12:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:04] Speaker D: Um, but no, I do sort of miss it. But the technology on it now, I would need an exotic Peter and Google all in front of me just to try and get to know how it works now. [00:12:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:15] Speaker A: It was not too hard anymore because I got a dj controller in front of me. So just off your laptop. [00:12:22] Speaker D: Exactly. I look at what. I'll catch up with Brandon and look at the way he does it. Yeah, and exactly, exactly what you just said, he said made it so easy. You just do this and that and that and it's a lot easier than what it was fighting in and fading out on a console. [00:12:35] Speaker C: Yep. Yeah. [00:12:35] Speaker A: Because back in the day, we used to, you see, like, um, you have to mix it by ear for, like, the key of the song. Make sure that song goes with this song. And then the beats were around. The same thing. Nowadays you just press a button, go sink, and it syncs it. It's like, okay, then as long as you get a key right, you can just sync it and just job song. [00:12:52] Speaker B: That was. That was actually something years ago when I first started seeing Jenna's mum, Fiona. She had a friend, Dave wall. We had a mutual friend, and he djed as a sideline at the elephant and wheelbarrow, I think, Fridays and Saturday nights. And, you know, the big double four way sound system. And he would just rock up with his laptop and just plug his laptop in. [00:13:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:15] Speaker B: And a set of headphones. [00:13:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:17] Speaker B: That was like he had a mixing program and everything. And he just used the music on his laptop. He's like, wow. You know the days of carrying around a road case and all that sort of stuff. Well, yeah. [00:13:27] Speaker A: And rocking up with a case full of what? CDs or records, whatever you want. [00:13:32] Speaker D: Three of the bloody thing. [00:13:33] Speaker C: Yep. All right. [00:13:35] Speaker A: What we're going to quickly do then I'll do get this going. Press this button. There we go. Shorten it. You picked five songs for us to play to talk about. We've got to actually talk. [00:13:47] Speaker D: Can I swap one for one? [00:13:51] Speaker C: That's too late. [00:13:52] Speaker A: I can't get it down. I won't be able to get it down. But I thought meatloaf was bad with his 20 minutes songs. [00:13:59] Speaker D: That's okay because when, when Al spoke to Al prior to the podcast and he, he reminisced a couple of those songs which you would have known as well. And I just keep myself going, mate, you and I have got so many memories of Billy Fields. It's not funny. [00:14:14] Speaker C: Oh yeah. [00:14:15] Speaker A: I think I was twelve when bad habits come out. [00:14:22] Speaker B: What, a couple of years ago then, mate. Anyway, only ball 14. Only bald 14 year old. I know. [00:14:37] Speaker A: It'S like the front, front row of a Taylor Swift concert. But anyway, let's get this first track going. I reckon hopefully I don't blow everyone's ear drums out. But this song goes for about eight and a half minutes depending on the version. [00:14:59] Speaker D: But yes, it's known for eight and a half minutes. It's a little bit known for like the queen song, isn't it? Bohemia Ratsuki. [00:15:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:06] Speaker A: I thought meat loaf made long songs. [00:15:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I think you need to tell your prince story actually, Brad, while this one plays. [00:15:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:16] Speaker D: Oh, can I? [00:15:17] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that's the whole point. [00:15:20] Speaker B: That's the whole point, yeah. [00:15:22] Speaker D: So I went, I went to the Prince concert as a punter. Yeah, with my mate, with Brandon Chowdhury. And it's his favorite artist of all time, that Michael Jackson. [00:15:32] Speaker C: Yep. [00:15:32] Speaker D: So that's the concert. And my boss at security was part of Prince's entourage of bodyguard. Security. [00:15:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:42] Speaker D: So he escorted him out on the stage, etc, etc. So I ring him, I said, mate, you know what, you get me to do it, et cetera, et cetera. So constant finish. We all had drinks afterwards and then we all went on our own little way on the train. I get a call from my boss. I was at Coburn Central station and this was at about probably quarter to twelve on a school night, Wednesday, Thursday night. And he said, are you still around? And I said, go on the train. He said, did you want to go to the prince's after show? So I straightaway, a lot of f words going, what the, what the, you know, you're bullshitting me. But I knew he was part of his bodyguard entourage. So he said, what about your mate Brandon? So I ring him straight away. So both for sudden return, different. He's on the middle line, I'm on the Coburn line. And, um. Yeah, there was 150 people at a secured spot at the nightclub in Bergman. [00:16:31] Speaker C: Yep. [00:16:33] Speaker D: Invite only, name on the door. That's it. And prince went live. [00:16:37] Speaker C: Oh, wicked. [00:16:38] Speaker D: Played when doves cry, didn't play it at the concert and didn't get on stage until about 01:15 in the morning and being a school night. [00:16:47] Speaker C: Yep. [00:16:47] Speaker D: There would have been about a hundred people. [00:16:49] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:49] Speaker D: Where Prince literally walked past Brandon and I to get to the stage. [00:16:54] Speaker C: Yep. [00:16:55] Speaker D: It was. I'll never forget it the day I died. [00:16:57] Speaker A: You didn't reach out and touch him or anything? [00:17:00] Speaker D: Well, he brushed past me and he's shorter than me, so I don't want to pat him on the head. [00:17:05] Speaker A: Nookie on the top of the head, get him in a headlock. [00:17:07] Speaker C: And. [00:17:11] Speaker B: The big thing. Yeah, I think the big thing, Paul, was. It was very. It wasn't long after that, was it, Brad, that he died? It was about possibly one of his performances. [00:17:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:26] Speaker D: And the ironic story to that fall is that him and Brandon and I went and saw Michael Jackson, I think was 96. [00:17:33] Speaker C: Yep. [00:17:34] Speaker D: And he died. We went and saw Prince and he died. So we made a pact last time when Prince died, which I think was six years ago, we'll never go to another concert together again. [00:17:43] Speaker A: Yeah. I'd be a bit worried, too. [00:17:49] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:49] Speaker A: Go to all these concerts and people start dropping off the perch. [00:17:52] Speaker D: Correct. [00:17:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:53] Speaker D: A bit of an omen. [00:17:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:55] Speaker A: Well, if you're in one of them sweepstakes where you got to pick the next celebrity death, that could come in handy. [00:18:03] Speaker D: Look, we're coming, coming up to all of our age. Well, not so much yourself for. But certainly, Alan, I. The library's getting how many fingers? [00:18:11] Speaker B: Paul McCartney, Rod Stewart. Any stones? [00:18:16] Speaker C: Peter? [00:18:16] Speaker A: Andrew. [00:18:18] Speaker C: No. [00:18:18] Speaker A: No. [00:18:25] Speaker D: Did you, did you see, did you notice Bon Jovi's. [00:18:30] Speaker A: We don't talk about Bon Jovi. Don't talk about Bon Jovi. [00:18:34] Speaker D: He sort of looks older, but he certainly. I think he's early sixties from memory, I didn't get. But I think he's early sixties. Yeah, he doesn't look too bad. I think he looks his age. [00:18:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:18:48] Speaker D: If he's early sixties, he probably looks 65. So if he's 70, then looks good. But he was on tv. [00:18:54] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:18:55] Speaker D: The other night. But I know I'm not. [00:18:56] Speaker A: I'm not a fan of him at all. I've got. I've got a reason for it. I've got a good reason for it, too. It's just the ex wife used to play it all the time. Playing all the time. And we. We spent, like, thousands going to Bon Jovi concerts and just. It was just the only music that, you know, I got sick of it. Just over it. I was just. And then he released a song, a Christmas song a few years ago, and it was just. It was poisoned to people's ears. It was awful. I don't think he can sing. I reckon he's got one of the worst twangy voices around and it's getting worse and worse and worse, and I. I don't think you can sing. [00:19:39] Speaker D: It is playing. Yeah, it's swinging. [00:19:42] Speaker A: It's annoying, but. [00:19:44] Speaker D: But it'll be. [00:19:49] Speaker B: Talking about Bon Jovi or Selena Gomez. [00:19:52] Speaker A: No, Selena Gomez is all right. At least you can look at Selena Gomez and watch. You can't. So why did we pick, um, purple rain again? Because of this. Walking by the concert. You killed him off. [00:20:09] Speaker C: Well, why this track? [00:20:14] Speaker D: There's no actual look, I think I just love the song. And brand is Brandon's most favorite song of all time, and. Yeah, and I'm Brandon. I've been mates for 37 years. [00:20:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:24] Speaker D: So I haven't sort of thought like him and I been brought up with it at all. [00:20:28] Speaker B: No. [00:20:28] Speaker D: But, yeah, I just. I like the meaning of it. Uh, a couple of, uh, uh, australian oral. I can't remember a name. I feel a lot of people have done the makeups on them and they all look good. [00:20:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:40] Speaker D: And, um. Yeah, it's just something about the song that. The drum, than the instrumental side of it, I just. It's just got everything. [00:20:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:49] Speaker A: You know? [00:20:50] Speaker B: Yes, it is. It is one of the lead out on the twelve inch version, because a lot of people don't remember when this song first came out. It was just a seven inch version. There wasn't that epic lead guitar lead out and then somehow that got it out into the. Into the zeitgeist as well as everybody thinks. Oh, this is a version that was released on radio. No, it wasn't. But this is one of the great lead breaks. [00:21:19] Speaker C: Yep. [00:21:20] Speaker B: To lead a song out, it's. And I love it. I was. I was not a Prince fan, but when I heard this twelve inch, because I was playing Purple Lane, you know, I was playing the dancer of the seven inch, but then I heard that this album version. [00:21:34] Speaker D: Wow. [00:21:35] Speaker B: It was from the movie. I actually never saw the movie. [00:21:38] Speaker A: Which movie? [00:21:38] Speaker D: I didn't even know there was a movie. What's the movie? [00:21:42] Speaker B: This is from movie people ran. [00:21:47] Speaker D: I will have to get. [00:21:54] Speaker B: My memory. [00:21:56] Speaker A: So I remember Prince had songs in the last boy Scout with Bruce Willis. [00:22:02] Speaker D: Best boy, solace. [00:22:03] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Yep. [00:22:06] Speaker B: Purple Rain. It is a film, so I'm not. [00:22:09] Speaker A: Well, who's in it? [00:22:10] Speaker B: American at 1984. American rock musical drama film scored by and starring Prince in his acting debut. [00:22:18] Speaker C: Developed. [00:22:18] Speaker B: Developed to showcase his talent. [00:22:21] Speaker A: There you go. [00:22:25] Speaker B: Apollonia Catoris. [00:22:27] Speaker D: He was one of his backups. [00:22:28] Speaker B: My state. I know. Clarence Williams the third. [00:22:32] Speaker C: Yep. [00:22:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:35] Speaker A: That was eight minutes. It went by really quick. Oh, no. The outro goes for about 30 minutes. Just let it go for a bit. [00:22:41] Speaker D: Let me tell you now that Brandon will watch this. [00:22:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:22:44] Speaker D: When. When he's able to, and I will guarantee you he will be shaking his head potentially at me, going, I cannot believe you didn't know that there was a purple Rain movie. He will. He won't talk to me for a week. [00:22:56] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:22:57] Speaker D: So I'm gonna have to watch. [00:23:00] Speaker B: Get over it. Have a chill. You'll be fine. [00:23:03] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. [00:23:05] Speaker B: The next song, moving along, I saw a meme. I mean, you know, Beyonce's dropped the country music album. [00:23:13] Speaker A: Oh, I know. [00:23:15] Speaker B: I've seen a meme with Millie Melson Nelson gone. Jeez, the chill must have been good for her to think she's country. [00:23:22] Speaker A: We on the. On our pop rock radio weekly rap, and on our podcast there, she always gets mentioned. And I just. I know she should not be doing country music. And she's. She slutted it up. Country music's got this image, and it's like a, you know, might not be a wholesome image, but there's an image here. And she just come out with. And made it all slutty is like, get off. [00:23:51] Speaker B: Well, I have to be honest, Bill. I can't critique because I've actually not listened to it, so I'm not allowed to say anything. Of course I'm not. [00:23:58] Speaker C: No. [00:23:59] Speaker B: Listen to music. [00:24:00] Speaker A: But there's also the images. [00:24:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:05] Speaker B: I mean, you look at. And I learned this through Brandon's son, Tyson. Country music's changed a lot. You look at guys like Mumford and Sons and the dead south and what's his name? Tennessee whiskey, and it's like, yeah, it's country music, but it's not. [00:24:25] Speaker A: Yeah, well, that's a good segue. [00:24:27] Speaker B: The style is slightly different and, you know. [00:24:29] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a good segue. I can slide right in there with pop rock country. You can get our app. We got our pop rock radio, obviously does all the pop and mainstream, but pop rock radio, we play 100% indie country and folk music from all around us. Only australian artists. And it's really different. [00:24:50] Speaker B: Oh, okay. So it's a. It's a different channel from what you play. [00:24:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:57] Speaker A: The pop. [00:24:59] Speaker B: What's his name? [00:25:01] Speaker A: We play the mainstream stuff, but pop countries. [00:25:06] Speaker B: You play a couple of songs from Chris Stapleton. Yeah, love him. He's so different. Yeah, he's so different. He's so good, you know. And I think you play a couple of Mumford and some songs. [00:25:16] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:25:16] Speaker A: We try to play everything that's popular, you know, and a good mix. But anyway, we got another song coming up. [00:25:21] Speaker C: This is. [00:25:22] Speaker A: And we do play this on pop rock radio as well. So this is another good. [00:25:27] Speaker B: So I just cannot just get in here, guys. We're coming up to the half hour. Oh, good driving song. [00:25:34] Speaker A: You want to go for a pee or do you want to listen to the song? [00:25:37] Speaker B: Yeah, no, you put the. You put the film clip up. Sorry. [00:25:49] Speaker A: We'll leave believe ours. Headphones on. We'll probably hear him going to the toilet, because normally, I hope he doesn't. Normally we don't hear him. I bring up the logo and black him out with his audio. [00:26:02] Speaker D: But I'll tell you a quick funny story they paul with regarding what you just talked about. I was Mc this wedding. In fact, ironically, it was miss winning. So I called his microphone in my pocket to go to the toilet, but I forgot to turn it off. [00:26:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:14] Speaker D: So when I've come back out, I've got 83 people looking at me. So when you just mentioned that about Alec, it was a straightaway memory. [00:26:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:22] Speaker A: Isn't it amazing? Some of the funny things that happen when you're djing, they haven't quite by mistake. And people just look at you really, really weird. [00:26:29] Speaker D: Oh, I was gonna say, thank God no one else was in there because, you know, a blokes conversation, having a peek and go from x to y very quickly. Blessing in disguise. [00:26:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:38] Speaker A: Have you ever set anyone up when you're djing? Like, if you say any, like, um. I remember I was telling, um, how I think it was last episode that there was a guy that I used to dj with and he was too busy talking to the girls and not preparing his set list next to this footy set. And so I threw him a CD to play in and it was like Backstreet Boys, a real slow back street boy song, which really killed the mood. And he was left standing there in front of everyone trying to explain. Got a full house of a nightclub going. You throw in the back street boys and everyone just looks at him. [00:27:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:14] Speaker A: Needless to say, he didn't talk to, didn't do much talking after that. [00:27:20] Speaker D: I did set a groom up once, which was a classic. And you know how sometimes, you know, the groom will go, I've got this special song that's on my phone. Spotify. [00:27:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:30] Speaker D: I can always connect it all up. Comes behind, you know, he's half pierced and plugged it all in. He pushes play and, you know, I'm putting on the microphone, you know, Joe Boggs is here for his and he's got nothing. [00:27:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:44] Speaker D: Looking at me and I'm going, right. But then I turn around. So, yes, I have got him on the live range. Hey, you got to turn it on, mate. The turn on button's just there. [00:27:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:55] Speaker D: So that's about the, probably the, the best I've got out of, you know, getting someone. [00:27:59] Speaker C: Yep. [00:28:00] Speaker D: But no, not, nothing like that one. [00:28:03] Speaker C: Cool. All right. [00:28:03] Speaker A: So why did you pick the breakup song now? [00:28:07] Speaker D: There's, there's no actual reason for this. I think I just, I think it's 1983, this song. It was on 83. Off the wall. Off the wall. 83, yeah. And it was, I think it was song free. And I got that album or that tape, that cassette tape for Christmas that year. And I love just about every song. But in 1983, for whatever reason, maybe because I was just broken up with my girlfriend in 1983, I don't know. [00:28:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:28:35] Speaker D: I think I was 16 years old, but that just stuck in my head for the last 30 years. [00:28:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:28:43] Speaker D: Every time I hear it on the radio, I just turn it up. [00:28:46] Speaker C: Yes. [00:28:46] Speaker D: There's no actual reason. I just know it was track three, I'm off the wall. 1983. [00:28:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:28:52] Speaker A: You know, it's a rock and song like alf sounds a great driving song. You just. [00:28:56] Speaker D: Yeah, it's not very long. [00:28:59] Speaker A: I reckon it's about 3.3 minutes, I don't think. [00:29:04] Speaker B: Yeah, just over three minutes, isn't it? The wit, the weird thing. There were some songs that are just great to drive in the car. [00:29:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:29:13] Speaker B: With the windows down and, you know, you'd have to analyze it. What is it that makes a song that's great to drive along to? You know, there's just something. If you could bottle it, it'd be perfect. [00:29:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:29:27] Speaker A: I remember driving from Cairns to Adelaide and I drove there and I had one set, one CD going and, um. Come, said the boy, Mondo rock. [00:29:41] Speaker B: Oh, it was banned ABC Monday rock. I love Chris, but that would drive me nuts up there on repeat. [00:29:47] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, there's other songs. Do you know how many versions of Mondo rock there were before they actually had a hit? [00:29:56] Speaker D: No. [00:29:57] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Chris will. Chris Wilson. He's. He. He had a lot of different. I mean, he started with daddy cool. [00:30:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:05] Speaker B: He had a lot of different fan bands. Ross Wilson people. Yeah, yeah. But he's one of these guys. He's like Jeff Lynn from Elo. [00:30:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:14] Speaker B: You know, it's like the bands called Elo. No, it's not. It's really. It's just Jeff Lynn with various musicians and that's what Mondo rock was like. [00:30:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:22] Speaker B: Well, they had threesome with various musicians. [00:30:25] Speaker C: Yeah. Was it. [00:30:26] Speaker A: Was there the third. Was their third mix before they had a hit. [00:30:32] Speaker B: Yeah, there was quite a bit. And it was a long gap. I mean, what was their first hit in the late sixties? Cool world. [00:30:43] Speaker D: Cool world. [00:30:44] Speaker C: Yeah. Thought so. [00:30:45] Speaker B: I will break into you. [00:30:48] Speaker C: Cool song. [00:30:51] Speaker A: You can hear, listen to over and over again, but there's only so much of it. [00:30:54] Speaker B: Good song. [00:30:55] Speaker D: There's a couple of times, Alan, I have been in long drives and one of them is up at green. Greenhead. [00:31:01] Speaker B: Yep. [00:31:03] Speaker D: Probably ten years ago. And I tell you what, I love driving without. Probably won't do it again forever. But he just has soundtracks galore of eighties and nineties. And what he's just mentioned there, it's the time goes fast and you get to the other end, you go, really? It just started, that song. [00:31:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:31:22] Speaker A: Go around the block. Go around again. [00:31:27] Speaker B: I've done that. I've actually gone to the shop and I've come back and a song's. Come on. I've liked it. I'm gonna go for a driver and the block. [00:31:37] Speaker D: I still do it now. [00:31:39] Speaker C: Yeah, I do. Yeah. [00:31:40] Speaker A: Well, we've got this one. Let's just get this. The third song in. Hopefully I got the right one. [00:31:47] Speaker C: Ah. All right. [00:31:49] Speaker B: While it's very quiet. Intro. Brad, what would your influence, what made you pick this? Well, love doing this, first and foremost. Absolutely love doing this song. [00:32:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:01] Speaker D: The. This song is just. It just cracks me up. This is my sister's, my youngest sister's favorite band of in excess. And I've seen them a couple of times, both with Michael and without Michael. [00:32:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:15] Speaker D: And it's just a song that. Yeah, but it's a lot of memories of not so much you. Because it came out. What year did it come out? Was it 84 or 87? [00:32:30] Speaker B: Don't change. It was from the Shabir Shabbat album. [00:32:33] Speaker D: Yeah, 88 maybe. Listen, like, these was 89, I think, so. [00:32:41] Speaker B: It listened like thieves was. [00:32:45] Speaker A: I was gonna say early eighties. [00:32:48] Speaker B: I definitely. Yeah, definitely from Shiba Shabbat. 82. [00:32:52] Speaker A: Because I was gonna say this. This would have been. [00:32:54] Speaker D: I moved out of Perth in 82. Yeah, and, sorry, out of Brisbane. [00:32:59] Speaker C: Two. [00:32:59] Speaker D: Perth in 82. And it's just always been with me, so it's been my. In excess of my sister's favorite band, don't change. Plus many of others. I mean, they're so. It's huge. Yeah. And that's just one that you want to karaoke or you go to the in excess, like new sensation band. Don't change is a tribute band and they've always played those. Change lives. [00:33:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:33:22] Speaker D: It's always the encouragement. Every concert. [00:33:25] Speaker B: Well, there's a thing where the band that I was in, the second band I was in, we were doing a lot of new romantic stuff. Durango and Spande, ballet, psychedelic first, all that sort of thing. And our stage manager and manager said, you guys, you need to be doing more rock and roll. And we were like, oh, fuck off. Everybody's doing rock and roll. It's like, no, you need to be doing more. You know that, especially towards the end of your gigs. And it was this song we went out and learned and we used to do it as our last song and it was a great move. We started doing a lot more sense, you know. [00:34:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:34:00] Speaker D: It's amazing as you geek with it is. [00:34:04] Speaker C: It is. [00:34:05] Speaker D: And even if they're not in excess tribute bands, they'll be. If they're a band, like. Similar to what you were just saying, alan, in your band. And they could be current bands now. They'll always do this as an encore or a last song. It's a great song to finish off. People walk out like their smokes and go, I'm coming back here. Gee, this is great. [00:34:23] Speaker A: The keyboards in it, though. You can mix it with great southern land from Ice house. [00:34:29] Speaker D: You could. [00:34:35] Speaker A: Great Aussie bands. All right, cool, cool. [00:34:38] Speaker D: We're going to bring this one back of a truck in a warehouse. [00:34:40] Speaker C: Yes. [00:34:42] Speaker D: It's a good film clip. [00:34:44] Speaker A: Yeah, no, it's pretty iconic Aussie way of doing things. Cheap on the back of a truck. [00:34:52] Speaker B: AC DC. [00:34:56] Speaker A: AC DC? Where are they from? Where did AC DC. [00:35:04] Speaker B: The base of the band, know? The base of the band is scottish, but, yeah, they were. They were the Valentine. [00:35:10] Speaker C: Oh, bomb. [00:35:10] Speaker B: Scott was in the Valentine's in Perth. [00:35:12] Speaker D: Valentine's, yes. [00:35:13] Speaker A: Perth or Adelaide. [00:35:14] Speaker B: Young brothers were. Adelaide. They're actually young brothers were Adelaide, AC. [00:35:19] Speaker A: DC's New South Wales, Sydney, and then Bon Scott joined from Adelaide and then. [00:35:26] Speaker B: But he wasn't in a west australian band called the Valentines. [00:35:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:29] Speaker A: Do you know how many lead singers a AC DC have had? I'm a bit divergent from in excess, but you know how many lead singers AC DC have had? [00:35:37] Speaker B: You know, make me guess stuff. [00:35:39] Speaker A: I'm old. [00:35:44] Speaker B: Let's go before. [00:35:45] Speaker A: Let's go with five. [00:35:48] Speaker D: Jesus. [00:35:49] Speaker A: They've had five lead singers and they've had over 23 people in the band. To me, AC DC is no longer a band. [00:36:00] Speaker B: He was always the young brother. The youngs. The brothers were the band. [00:36:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:07] Speaker D: Have you seen them live, Paul? [00:36:09] Speaker A: No. [00:36:11] Speaker D: Great band. Live. [00:36:12] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:36:13] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:36:14] Speaker D: We're coming to Australia next year. I think the Whispers are out. [00:36:18] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:36:19] Speaker D: They're doing a kiss the final world tour. [00:36:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:23] Speaker B: We've hit the hour mark. Where did this time go, then? [00:36:25] Speaker A: We've got two songs to go. No, it's ten past 810 past eight. We've still got 20 minutes. [00:36:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:32] Speaker D: Are you a daylight saving. [00:36:35] Speaker C: No. [00:36:36] Speaker A: See, we normally start. [00:36:38] Speaker B: Disregard me, I'm old nonetheless. [00:36:40] Speaker C: Yep. [00:36:40] Speaker B: I've only just gone to the Lou, haven't I? [00:36:42] Speaker C: Yep. Yep. [00:36:43] Speaker A: All right, now, the next song is a real. Compared to all the other five songs, the next song you chose is way different compared to the others. [00:36:56] Speaker D: We've only played three, haven't we? [00:36:57] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:36:58] Speaker A: This would be number four. And it's a one hit wonder, hey. [00:37:05] Speaker D: Yeah, it's definitely one hit wonder. So it's exactly what I think it is. And this one here, the reason I love it, this one is the memories of this song. When I was a punter at Chase's nightclub and Reggie and Brandon and all the dj's. I believe yourself as well, Paul. 93, 94, 95. And if it wasn't played throughout the night, it was definitely in the last two songs. [00:37:30] Speaker C: Yep. [00:37:31] Speaker D: And I would have been. Ah, geez. Thirties, late twenties and. [00:37:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:39] Speaker D: And if it's gonna play at 330 or 04:00 in the morning, you just dance with anyone. [00:37:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:43] Speaker D: But there was pretty much consistently. So I love that song for those years of that. Of that era. [00:37:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:50] Speaker D: And the fun times at Chasers nightclub that I had to dance with it. [00:37:55] Speaker C: Yep. Cool. [00:37:57] Speaker A: Let me just bring it up. [00:37:58] Speaker D: And definitely a one hit wonder. Did he have another. Didn't he have one more song? [00:38:02] Speaker A: I think he did, but I don't think it did any good. [00:38:05] Speaker D: I don't think it might hit the charts, but not top ten. [00:38:08] Speaker A: What's going on here? What have I done? [00:38:11] Speaker C: Oh, this one. [00:38:13] Speaker A: There you go. [00:38:14] Speaker D: And I love the beginning. [00:38:15] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:38:16] Speaker B: Professor Brian Cox on keyboards. [00:38:19] Speaker C: Yes. Yeah. Yes. [00:38:23] Speaker A: This guy apparently still living off his royalty. [00:38:27] Speaker B: Ah, it's like they all are. [00:38:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:29] Speaker B: But the keyboard plays. I think it's cable players. Pretty well known physicists, astrophysicist professor Brian Cox. And he's a good looking man for his age. Look him up. [00:38:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:43] Speaker D: Brian Cox. What other bands does he play? [00:38:48] Speaker B: Oh, just this one. It's a university. It's a university band. It's a university band. So they're all in uni and they form and that's what they do in England. [00:38:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:59] Speaker D: People in union. Yes, yes and yes. I'm looking at him out as we speak. [00:39:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:07] Speaker B: Wouldn't go. [00:39:08] Speaker D: He's a very good looking man. Probably better looking than me. He's a lot younger. [00:39:13] Speaker A: The keyboard is there. He's on the left. [00:39:15] Speaker B: He bad. He's older than you. Look. Look at him as a man who. [00:39:19] Speaker D: Is older than you. Younger than me. [00:39:29] Speaker B: He's got more hair than you. [00:39:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:32] Speaker D: I don't know what he's like now. Haven't got an image of him today. [00:39:37] Speaker C: But. [00:39:45] Speaker B: Ten months younger than you. [00:39:47] Speaker D: Oh, there you go. Split hairs. Yeah, it's. And I sort of. When you ask me for the five favorite songs or five best songs. And that's the only reason why. Because it was that era of my life, of those earlier nineties where this song just pumped. [00:40:06] Speaker A: It's an ageless song. You can play it now. And people still. It's like Al with his d light and Groovy's in the heart. [00:40:14] Speaker D: Oh, he loves groovy, actually. [00:40:16] Speaker B: Yeah, this one. Actually, there is one. I'm not sure if you'd remember it, Paul. A bit before your time, but. Carl Carlton, baby, I need your loving. [00:40:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I know that one. [00:40:25] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a go to, baby. Yeah, that's a go to. Like this one. [00:40:37] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:40:38] Speaker D: If you're a d. What hero was that. [00:40:43] Speaker B: One? Or Carl Carlton was. It was weird because I remember it being weird because it was a disco ish song and it was after disco, so it would have been 80 ish. [00:40:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:40:58] Speaker D: The eighties, I would have gone like seventies. [00:41:00] Speaker C: Yeah. Okay. Yeah. [00:41:01] Speaker B: No, no. [00:41:04] Speaker A: He didn't do stroke it, did he? That was someone else. [00:41:06] Speaker D: No, that was some. [00:41:08] Speaker B: No, that was a Clarence. Clarence Clements. [00:41:10] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:10] Speaker A: Clarence Clements. [00:41:11] Speaker B: No, no. Yeah. [00:41:14] Speaker A: Stroke it to the left. [00:41:15] Speaker C: Stroke it to the. There you go. D rain. [00:41:21] Speaker A: Things can only get better. [00:41:24] Speaker B: Of course I can. [00:41:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:27] Speaker B: Think positive, Wikipedia. [00:41:30] Speaker D: When I told 64. [00:41:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:34] Speaker D: Okay. [00:41:37] Speaker C: When was it? [00:41:38] Speaker A: 64. [00:41:40] Speaker B: The original. [00:41:41] Speaker C: Yep. [00:41:44] Speaker A: I was gonna stop. [00:41:51] Speaker B: 83 in Australia. I thought it was earlier than that. [00:41:55] Speaker D: Yeah, well, I thought it was like 70, so I'm way off. [00:41:58] Speaker A: Yeah, well, it's a long time ago. It's back in the olden days, folks wouldn't be all. [00:42:04] Speaker D: We all had hair and no gray. None of it was great. [00:42:07] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:42:09] Speaker A: So next last song. Classic song. Now, before we get into it, the band was the flowers. Why did they change their name? [00:42:19] Speaker D: Because there was already flowers in the US. [00:42:26] Speaker C: Can you fact check that? [00:42:28] Speaker A: We fact check that because I'm sure they. Were they from the US or from Scotland? Were they from Scotland? [00:42:35] Speaker D: Ice house. No, it's flowers. Oh, flowers. [00:42:39] Speaker C: Yeah, boys. [00:42:42] Speaker B: Ice house. [00:42:43] Speaker C: Flowers. Flowers. [00:42:46] Speaker B: Other bands called the flowers. [00:42:54] Speaker A: It should be in the ice house Wikipedia page while they change the name. [00:43:00] Speaker D: It was always that. That's the thing. [00:43:03] Speaker B: But it was. It was about them breaking into the US market. [00:43:06] Speaker C: Yeah, it was. [00:43:08] Speaker D: It was. And they didn't. They couldn't pick a name. So they all just agreed on. [00:43:11] Speaker C: Yep. [00:43:11] Speaker D: We'll just go ice house. It's the album. The first name. [00:43:14] Speaker C: The first. Yep. [00:43:16] Speaker D: But wasn't their first album flowers? Wasn't it a self titled album? [00:43:20] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:43:21] Speaker B: Yes. [00:43:21] Speaker C: Yep. [00:43:22] Speaker D: And it was Ice house their second album. Or did they. Did they create ice house as their first album? Was ice out? [00:43:32] Speaker C: Oh, don't. I. [00:43:32] Speaker A: But we'll bring it in. We'll let. Bring it in and we'll. [00:43:35] Speaker B: No, their first album was of the flowers and it actually comes up. If you look for it. [00:43:41] Speaker D: I can't help myself. [00:43:42] Speaker B: It comes up as ice house, but they actually released can't help myself as flowers. [00:43:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:43:49] Speaker D: Watch now. [00:43:50] Speaker B: Yeah. This is when they were. [00:43:56] Speaker C: Yep, yep. [00:43:58] Speaker D: We went and saw ice House about eight weeks ago. [00:44:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:44:04] Speaker D: And along with simple minds. [00:44:08] Speaker C: Yep. [00:44:09] Speaker D: And. Yeah. No one ice house, mate, apart from extra gray or grays have turned to white. They have not. [00:44:19] Speaker A: No. So over Davies made the soundtrack. [00:44:24] Speaker B: It was a scottish group. They signed for Chrysalis Records, european, japanese, UK and us releases. They had to change their name due to legal restrictions and to prevent confusion with the scottish group the flowers. [00:44:40] Speaker C: There you go. [00:44:41] Speaker D: Well done, Paul. So where did the US market come from? [00:44:45] Speaker A: Well, they'll break it into the US market. [00:44:48] Speaker B: The other band, they signed up with all these. All these things to break into the US market. They didn't want confusion. [00:44:57] Speaker C: There you go. [00:44:58] Speaker D: There you go. Thank you for that call. I did not know that at all. [00:45:01] Speaker B: Yeah, it's Brad and I actually went over to Rottnest to see ice house years ago. [00:45:08] Speaker D: That was the last time. [00:45:11] Speaker B: Yeah. We spent more money on food and drinks and what we did to pay and go see the band and catch the ferry, didn't we? [00:45:17] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:45:18] Speaker D: We stood on picnic tables to see. [00:45:20] Speaker B: It's this expensive. [00:45:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:23] Speaker A: So, um, Ivy Davies did the soundtrack for master and commander with Russell Crow in it. [00:45:28] Speaker B: Yes. Yes, he did. [00:45:30] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. Does it. [00:45:34] Speaker D: Here's another couple of old fans here that we recently saw about four weeks ago is 1927. And press opera. [00:45:42] Speaker C: Yep. [00:45:43] Speaker A: I got a good story about burn. [00:45:44] Speaker D: Crash opera for you guys. How did 1927 come up with their name? [00:45:49] Speaker A: Was it parliament House the year that parliament House was opening? [00:45:52] Speaker D: No, no, no. And you can please Google this, because I did. That's how I know the answer. So no one could come up with a name? [00:46:01] Speaker C: Yep. [00:46:01] Speaker D: So each band member took a number out of a hat? [00:46:04] Speaker C: Yep. [00:46:05] Speaker D: That's what they got. 1927. That's all it was. [00:46:09] Speaker C: On. [00:46:09] Speaker D: What order? I don't know. Yeah, there was nine. There's four members in the band. Maybe they just fiddled a little bit of bingo and went, no, that'll do, legs eleven. They will start with a one that did. I don't know. [00:46:21] Speaker A: Boom crash opera. It's funny. [00:46:22] Speaker B: I mean, Frigg. Yeah. I want to hear Paul's boom crash opera story. [00:46:26] Speaker A: When I was in Adelaide, I was doing some film work and I was recording. I got asked to record a band called the Childs down in Victor Harbour. So a guy I knew had a big studio camera. He used to work for Channel Nine and he had all the gear. So I borrowed his camera, went down to Victor Harbour and we set up the camera and were recording the child. So first band and got it all down, Dale Ryder and his manager comes out, says, ah, you're not here to film us, are you? I said, no, no. We hit it from the first band and they're like, giving me this big lecture on copyright infringements and all the paperwork. We recorded them. I said, look, we're here to do the first band. Don't worry, we'll be packed up and gone by the time you guys get on stage. All right, no worries. So they disappear. We're recording the first band and the place is going right off, hey. [00:47:21] Speaker C: And then. [00:47:22] Speaker A: Then they come back out and they said, oh, how would you like to record us? I'm like, sorry, mate, all out of tape. Cut them off. And the funny thing is, the first band had a better crowd reaction than boom crash opera did it at that time. But, yeah, that was more. [00:47:42] Speaker D: Speaking of that, I'll just go back to the ice house concert we saw in February. They had all the marketing, including stubby holes, t shirts and promotions on radio and tv was all simple minds. And then Ice House and Darrell Braithwaite and all that. [00:47:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:47:57] Speaker D: Yet ice house got the last act. [00:48:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:00] Speaker D: Due to public demand. [00:48:02] Speaker C: Yep. [00:48:03] Speaker D: And that was changed on the day. [00:48:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:05] Speaker A: Because I look at some of the. You see some of these concerts coming out and you see the lineups and you go, why are they ahead of this band? Why is. I don't get it anymore. [00:48:14] Speaker C: But. Yeah. [00:48:16] Speaker D: So you guys have been to the Charles Hotel in Perth, haven't you? For kids? [00:48:21] Speaker A: No. [00:48:22] Speaker C: No. [00:48:22] Speaker B: Never heard of the place. [00:48:24] Speaker A: I've heard of it, but I've never been there. [00:48:27] Speaker D: Owl, snake and the piss. [00:48:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:30] Speaker D: You were there with the angels. With you, weren't you? [00:48:33] Speaker B: Never seen abandoned the shells? [00:48:36] Speaker D: No. [00:48:37] Speaker C: No. [00:48:37] Speaker D: You still got the sticky tarp, but probably the only place in Perth that still has it. [00:48:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:41] Speaker A: In the court. And, um, our goes to the court. [00:48:47] Speaker B: Hey. Oh, court's a good place. [00:48:51] Speaker A: I know. I know it is. [00:48:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:53] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:48:54] Speaker D: We'll leave that one. [00:48:56] Speaker B: But, yes, it's a safe space. [00:48:58] Speaker D: Yeah, it's a safe space for a male. There's a. There's a good bar place over here. It's called the Triffid. [00:49:03] Speaker C: Yep. [00:49:04] Speaker D: And it's. It's. It's the Brisbane version of the Charles. [00:49:06] Speaker C: Yep. [00:49:07] Speaker D: Holds more people and. But that. It pretty much caters for. For all the Oz bands, all the big high rock, James reigns or all the big boys. Great venue. First time I've been there. Very, very impressed with it. A bit bigger than the Charles, but not exactly. Same experience. [00:49:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:49:28] Speaker B: No, speaking of, did you guys remember. I mean, you would have been here. Do you remember the beer barns? What, the overdrive? The overflow? The Charles. The Charles is the last one. The Cloverdale. All these huge venues. But Perth was full of all these huge venues where bands v. Capri and all that would go play money. And it was a proper concert and it was just. It was just a barn with a concrete floor, you know, and. Yeah, Percy used to be full of them, didn't I? [00:50:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:50:07] Speaker A: Now, that's before my time in person. I didn't get the Perth till 95. [00:50:11] Speaker B: Ah, so you missed the Capri engineer and. [00:50:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:50:18] Speaker B: J baby James McCain's band. What's. Yeah, j babies James. [00:50:24] Speaker D: Is it the jets? [00:50:25] Speaker C: Is that the jets? [00:50:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, the jets. Um. Yeah. [00:50:31] Speaker D: Back to barley nights at the Raffles in the eighties. [00:50:40] Speaker B: No, but I did see the play. I mentioned it before. I did see the police live at the Raffles. Nobody believes me. Paul believes me. Yeah, but, yeah, I went and saw the police live at the Raffles. Never ending ticket. [00:50:51] Speaker D: Heard of that at all? I've seen sting, but no, I've seen the police. [00:50:58] Speaker B: Yeah, well, I went and saw them when they were just starting out. $10 a ticket at the Raffles hotel. [00:51:03] Speaker D: Holy shit. [00:51:04] Speaker A: I'll be talking about the band police or wo pole. Sorry, you talk about the band police or the breathalyzer? [00:51:14] Speaker B: Oh, bit of both, mum. No, actually, back in the day, there was no such thing as breathalyzers. And the alcohol limit was 0.170% or something that you can drive still. [00:51:27] Speaker D: When did it change the? .08 in the nineties or was it always been zero eight? [00:51:31] Speaker A: That's 0.05 now, so be careful. [00:51:34] Speaker B: Yeah. 0.05. Big .05 for a while. [00:51:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. There you go. [00:51:41] Speaker A: Well, there you go. [00:51:42] Speaker D: You got to put on. I know my five songs are finished.

[00:52:24] Speaker B: How did we get into that song? I can't remember. I mean, it's always been a favorite of mine, but. [00:52:31] Speaker C: Oops. [00:52:31] Speaker A: What's going on? [00:52:32] Speaker D: I don't know either. Our first street solo band, our first street concert. This is Ellen I. Arm in arm pissed down in Subiaco. We left a. At a boys dinner, a boys night out, the, um, the restaurant there. And we just walked arm and arm. [00:52:52] Speaker B: Down, um, like it was a zanzibar, wasn't it? [00:52:58] Speaker D: Yes. Yes, it was. Yes, it was. And then. Yes, that was it. And then maybe it wasn't. Maybe it was playing in the background there or something like that. I don't know. We've done it a few times in Bali. [00:53:11] Speaker B: Yes. [00:53:13] Speaker D: Okay, so, uh, it's. [00:53:15] Speaker C: It's. It's. [00:53:15] Speaker D: It's got. How it started, I don't know. Like, how we ended up arm in arm apart from being pissed. And we sing that song, that bit. I don't know, uh, whether it. Whether it was on a background thing in the pub or you and I were just talking about. [00:53:31] Speaker C: Here we go. [00:53:32] Speaker A: I thought I had the video clip. [00:53:34] Speaker B: Well, this is. This is our go to song when we've been out on the piss. [00:53:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:53:40] Speaker B: It doesn't matter where we are in the world on the way back to our hotel on their way back home, we sing this. [00:53:47] Speaker A: What was the other song you wanted? [00:53:49] Speaker B: No one. [00:53:49] Speaker D: And it doesn't matter who's around for. [00:53:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:53:52] Speaker D: Everyone looks at us going, these two are weird. [00:53:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:53:56] Speaker A: As long as you enjoy yourself. But what was the other song you wanted? [00:54:00] Speaker B: Phil Seymour. This is a great song, though, isn't it? [00:54:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:54:08] Speaker B: Oh, voice is gone. [00:54:10] Speaker A: Didn't, um. [00:54:13] Speaker C: Didn't. [00:54:14] Speaker A: Didn't Courtney Murphy do this song on australian? [00:54:17] Speaker D: Yes. Yes. [00:54:19] Speaker C: Well done. Yes. Yeah. Yes. [00:54:21] Speaker D: That young man has now been struck with cancer recently, but. Yes, you did. [00:54:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:54:25] Speaker A: And they did a bit of a fundraiser for him, so. [00:54:27] Speaker D: Yeah, pretty big. I've got the news over here. So that's how big it is. [00:54:31] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, yeah. [00:54:32] Speaker A: It's just such a tragedy. It's hot. [00:54:35] Speaker D: I mean, he got a record of tens on that particular night, if I remember correctly. [00:54:38] Speaker A: Yeah, he did a good job of. [00:54:41] Speaker D: Yeah, he did. He did. [00:54:53] Speaker C: I actually think. [00:54:54] Speaker D: I'm pretty sure, actually, I'll. When you, me and Brandon went to Bali for my 50th and his 50th combined, I'm pretty sure the three of us, we did. We did the sweet Caroline in. I'm not sure. I think it was Billy's. And then we. Then we had the three. [00:55:16] Speaker A: Cigarette lighter and. Modern times. Modern times called. You gotta get your phone out now. [00:55:22] Speaker D: Oh, that's right. Phone down. [00:55:26] Speaker C: There you go. Yeah. [00:55:27] Speaker A: I remember this has come out in the early eighties. I remember singing it in the bath. [00:55:32] Speaker D: I wasn't sure it was 81 or 83. I've got a feeling it's 81. [00:55:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:38] Speaker B: It's fairly odd, but, yeah, you and I had been singing it. [00:55:45] Speaker D: 81. [00:55:45] Speaker A: Was it have to be, because it was primary school come out when I was in primary school and I went into high school in. 83. [00:55:56] Speaker D: Would have to be 83. Yeah, 83. Now I was working. 83. [00:56:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:02] Speaker D: I. Yeah, it is our go to shop. [00:56:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:09] Speaker D: There's no doubt about it. And we always. Isn't it funny, Al? We always see karaoke bars, particularly in Bali, because that's when we just saw. But we really. I think there's only once we've ever stung it. [00:56:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I reckon. I reckon you two would do a thousand miles without Vanessa Carlton. [00:56:35] Speaker B: I do remember one night, it was 02:00 in the morning, Paul. And we're walking down Legion street from. From Kudar back to our hotel, miles down the street and singing that at the top of their voice. And the only people on the street were all the Balinese who just knocked off work off streetcars. And they're watching these. Yeah, he's really weird. Falang going past, singing this song at the top of their voice and it's like. [00:56:57] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:57] Speaker B: So it's all good. [00:56:59] Speaker A: We'll get this last one going here. Here it is. I don't know if I know this song. [00:57:07] Speaker B: Oh, canadian guy, one hit wonder. [00:57:10] Speaker C: Yeah, it is. [00:57:11] Speaker B: It's quite a good song. [00:57:15] Speaker C: Precious. [00:57:16] Speaker B: Now, Dodd, in his 40, DoD, in his forties, I think. [00:57:18] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:57:20] Speaker D: What's the song? And we don't have time to play it. We won't. I won't even ask for it. [00:57:25] Speaker A: We'll save it for next one. [00:57:26] Speaker D: Yeah. The one that we always try and sing is a karaoke. And the only time we've ever been able to do it. My bar in Murray street. If you set the neighbors dark eye. [00:57:44] Speaker B: Oh, not let her cry. [00:57:46] Speaker D: Yes, yes, yes. [00:57:51] Speaker A: Is that hootie and blowfish? [00:57:54] Speaker B: It is hootie and blowfish. Darius Rucker and the band. [00:57:59] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:57:59] Speaker B: So this was a. This was actually quite a big one here. Wonderful. [00:58:02] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:58:05] Speaker D: An 81 as well. [00:58:08] Speaker B: 81. 81. 81. No, 81. Yeah. So he was 39, 39 years old. [00:58:21] Speaker D: And out. That. That other song that you and I, whenever I come to Perth, we always try and play it, even if it lounges with. Who is it again? Lady someone. It's Jimmy Barnes's cousin or nephew.
