The CSC Music Appreciation Thread

Saw that we did not have this kicked off yet...

So in honour of my avatar let's kick it off with one of my favourite songs from Melbourne band the Twits...

Same era.... different bloke. ;)
Buddy was also a member of the Mixtures and for a while he was also with the Seekers while Bruce Woodley took a break in the 70's

Steve Earle was best known for his mainstream hit "Copperhead Road" but he had a heap of other great tracks over his career including this one "When The People Find Out", I bet you can't help but tap your foot to this country bop with its infectious 'call & response' gospel chorus.

Another act that gets some airplay on The Devil's Jukebox is a faux-Russian band called The Red Elvises, here is a sample of their handiwork, both songs are from the same album :

Here's one for Tribey, a terrific garage-psyche revival band called The Black Hollies, they certainly get a good run on The Devil's Jukebox :

This is the first song I ever played on the radio program, it's by Melbourne gothic-mariachi specialists Graveyard Train from their second album 'The Drink, The Devil & The Dance' (an absolute blinder of an album if I don't say so myself). I had the pleasure of interviewing Josh from the band on the show which went very well. The clip is an extended version with some arty stuff at the front of it, the song doesn't start till 1:12 but its worth waiting for :

Last one for today, this is a four-piece Sydney band called Kill City Creeps with ex-Dolly Rocker Movement singer & guitarist Dan Darling out the front, the other three members of the band were all girls. They had gone into the studio and recorded what they intended to be their debut full-length album but for reasons unknown, they unfortunately split up earlier this year before it got finished. They did release a five-track EP which is full of killer tracks like this one 'La La Blues' :

Allright, seeing as you asked for just one more, here is something to mellow out this fine selection of toons. This is by Ananda Shankar and you guessed it, he is related to the world-famous sitar player, his uncle Ravi Shankar, the man who The Beatles grew to love. Ananda never reached the same heights his uncle did in the 60's but he did have some influence in the early 70's as evidenced by this incredible east-meets-west version of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" which appeared on his self-titled debut album of 1970.

Peace ..... love ...... om.

Had to do a fill in last night for another show and decided to open it with this belting funkified cover of the Zep classic "Whole Lotta Love" by Tina Turner, an artist I've grown to admire immensely.

Also chucked in this sitar filled psyche head-swirler from The Beatles on the show. Interestingly, this was one of the very few tracks that they never did live on stage because all of the tape loopings & over-dubs could not be repeated again.
