On that topic I saw a post on facebook the other day from one of my son's mates..."Just waiting for my fich and chips and saw a guy blow his nose on his hoodie. Upper Hutt producing the world's finest citizens" -
Local indie record store up was just playing an album called Innerspeaker by a band called Tame Impala. Good psychedelia. Have not heard of them before - apparently from Australia so might have a presence down there and NZ (?). Don't know what their other records are like, but keen to hear more.

I shouldn't laugh as mrs razbra is from there but your son's mate nailed it! -
[quote name='red terror']I think I'm going to pay the piper and see Rammstein live. Not crazy about their records, but love I their vids and spectacular concert dvds. True performance artists in the best traditions of the German expressionists - and they rock, too.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Yeah, go see and them live, it's well worth it. I saw them at Big Day Out this year, and they put on a really good show.<br />
<br />
They were actually better than Tool IMO. -

I have known about dead prez since dave chappelles block party and while i enjoyed that performance I've struggled to get into any of their other stuff. Militant and more than a tad racist for my liking. -
yeah they ride that line but overall I reckon they are pretty smart how they go about their music. For me its a case of 'I like your old stuff better than your new stuff' (love that regurgitator song!). <br />
<br />
In terms of political rap this guy is my ongoing fav<br />

Mates got together on the weekend. The discussion: Do we drive to Toronto (one hour away) to see the show on a Sunday - Toronto being a city where cynical spectators fold their arms and cynically dermand to be impressed-or-else --- or do we drive to Montreal (seven hours away) where they party their asses off for any excuse, and this particular excuse will be Rammstein on a spring Saturday night? <br />
<br />
Debate was over before it began. We're going to have a van with eight 40-50 year olds making the drive to Montreal. -
So Rammstein were good then?<br />
<br />
Saw Stone Temple Pilots at Vector last weekend, they put on a great show - as expected to be honest. Scott Weiland is actually looking relatively healthy these days.<br />
<br />
HLAH opened for them, pulling out a few classics like Wet Rubber, Hootenany, and their cover of I'm on Fire. They also cracked out a few new tunes, so I wouldn't be surprised if they put out a new album this year.<br />
<br />
Which led me and my mate to think, what big 'rock bands' that could fill an arena have been formed post 2000. There weren't many I could think of.... most that I can think of started in the 90's or earlier.... Pearl Jam, Green Day, STP, Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers etc etc<br />

Me? The show isn't 'til early May. (It'll be the first arena show I've seen since Nirvana in the early 90s.) -
The new Foo Fighters album is pretty fucking cool. Its not their best work, but it doesn't have to be to be pretty awesome. While their last album was a lot mor emelodic in parts, and they explored that whole acoustic thing, this one is a lot more rocky. I have only been through it twice, but i like it. And as per normal, the first 30 seconds of the album kicks ass.

Bit of classic cheese for ya:<br />
