Comment:
Green & Gold is a two-part series featuring some of Australia's best musicians, both past and present. Volume I is entirely Rock `n Roll, whereas Volume II, when I get around to it, will be a lot more pop-centric (expect to see: The Church, The Go-Betweens, The Avalanches, etc).Australian rock has always been furious and dirty; laden with rippling guitar riffs, distinct accents, and of course, a sense of humor. However, we're currently lacking any artists that are willing to take the genre to a new level, and imitation seems to be all anyone is capable of these days... With this mix, I really wanted to showcase the bands that give/gave Down Under a good name; the type of artists that our newer rock bands (with the listed exceptions) seem obsessed with ripping off (I'm looking at you, Jet) . Listen To This Whilst: Getting drunk with your mates, having a BBQ (should include first option), driving down long highways, engaging in illegal boxing matches with Kangaroos (often the result of the first two options.), and so on.
Feedback:
haha. do people really box with kangaroos??
Very nice.
Would love to hear this one...add a another color and you can view my Green Gold and Black: Jamaican Music Series.

this one does look good, and i am very interested in seeing the pop-centric volume 2 - i would expect to see the summershine and candle record labels represented!
howabout Frenzal Rhomb?
Not a fan of their whiny-voiced brattish punk. They're funny, though.
Great stuff and nicely explained. Whole Lotta Rosie--I love that song.
This is wonderful. Great job.
Wow. I know more of this than I thought I would. Very nice, again!
missed this at the time . . . . loads to love here (esp the oils and Nick Cave) . . . yeah, Oz rock is pretty unique and whilst there is derivitive stuff largely available, I think that there is a great live scene and loads of originality too. I wish the Brit rock scene had the energy of the Oz scene at times . . .
