I'll admit it. I really love making a playlist, like I really loved making a tape back in the day. I have an interstate relative and they are great for a nine-hour drive. Actually stumbled upon Reno's college rock one which almost takes me over the border. When I got it, my daughter (13 now, 11 then) totally ridiculed my huuuuge CD collection but now she's curious and wants a CD plby Aitch

If you have Midnight Oil tickets, hopefully they will treat you to their version of Know Your Product which they've been playing in tribute.by Aitch
Whatever you do, if you're revisiting. Don't discount Prehistoric Sounds. Swing For the Crime is about as good as it gets.by Aitch
Aged 65. Don't know any details. I won't get into the whole "first punk band/album" thing as those guys never made such claims. But I will say seeing them as a 17 year old was pretty damn life changing.by Aitch

Here's a question. In the '90s attending a screening of 10 Things I Hate About You, I was happy to see the song Calypso by the excellent Spiderbait was the song for the opening titles but it does not appear on the soundtrack album. Is this simply a licensing issue?by Aitch
Has anyone read Catherine Mayer's book? I guess you're only going to get one side of the tale there. Glad I got to see King and Gill share the stage.by Aitch

In the 80s, Tina Turner wanted to release Throw Your Arms Around Me as a single, the band knocked her back. These days, it appears in a car insurance commercial. Also, back in the day, the go-to TV show for Australian teenyboppers was Countdown. On host Ian "Molly" Meldrum's segment Humdrum, he recommended The Birthday Party's Prayers on Fire and Tactics' My Houdini. I aby Aitch

Just listened to "Robbie Shakespeare Tribute ... Best Bass Lines" by Youth on MixCloud. Worth a listen.by Aitch
As a fan of both dub and Bush of Ghosts I'll be giving it a spin for sure. Some dub I dig: King Size Dub by Dub Syndicate, that Phase Selector Sound record (of which the story of its coming together is pretty interesting) and the Ruts DC Rhythm Collision albums (vs Mad Professor and vs Zion Train). And there's always my Spotify playlist too:by Aitch
Um, White Riot? Also, Alejandro Escovedo introduced Chelsea Hotel '79 when I saw him and it's very much first hand. Also also, apparently Billy Joel wrote WDSAF after a conversation with Sean Lennon and his unnamed friend who said to BJ "You were a kid in the '50s, and everybody knows that nothing happened in the '50s" As he started naming people and events, he reaby Aitch

Dead at 68. One of the greatest and, by far, more than just a reggae musician. Check out the sound of those Grace Jones releases for starters. One of my biggest musical regrets was when he was denied entry to Australia in the early '90s due to the SARS virus. Sly Dunbar made it and it was still a huge gig (it was most of Black Uhuru after all) but I was looking forward to watching the two oby Aitch
