I just ate a Raspberry off the bush still kicking in my yard. Sadly it did not last as long as this song.

No shortage of variety in the 70's.

Hey Mike Sin, what do you think about bringing back Streaking ?
  9:20pm
CC:

My goodness..!..it certainly does get hard!!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:21pm

Like a Constant Mongrel?
  9:23pm
CC:

Mmmm... reminiscent of early Hot Rod!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:24pm
Aitch:

I was just thinking of all the Aussie glam stuff you missed out on, and then you played TMG! 'kin hell mate. More Vanda and Young stuff. Nice work Mike Sin.
  9:26pm
John W:

Power pop, yes! Streaking, not so much...
  9:26pm
PJ:

The Mighty Plod! Martin Newell's first band.
  9:27pm
PJ:

The funniest rock memoir by far I've read is Newell's story of the glam days with Plod, This Little Ziggy (though I think he should've stuck with the original title, The Chicks Have Gone, The Drugs Were Dodgy, and We Never Did Get the Bastard Loot.)
  9:32pm
Carmichael:

Oh, Mike Sin, jaysis. Loved the devil music.
  9:32pm
CC:

That last song kind of reminded me of a cross between Deep Purple Uriah Heep and Atomic Rooster... maybe with a little Blood Rock thrown in?
  9:35pm
Carmichael:

Yep, buy stuff from the bargain bin by the look of the cover. Has never failed me.
  9:39pm
Carmichael:

I love Martin Newell. Cleaners From Venus, specifically, but hi solo stuff is wonderful pop.
  9:40pm
Carmichael:

*his
  9:41pm
CC:

Mmmm... Graham Parker comes to mind...
  9:41pm
PJ:

I've never heard Sports before, but this reminds of a cross between Graham Parker and Joe Jackson
  9:42pm
PJ:

CC beat me to it
  9:44pm
Steve:

I believe The Sports were from Australia, PJ
  9:45pm
CC:

PJ... I don't think I've ever heard Mike's show before but he's playing some damn good shiaaatt!!!
  9:47pm
kevlicki:

Really enjoying the show!
  9:48pm
PJ:

@CC, I agree, he brings the good stuff (and a lot of it I've never heard before)
  9:48pm
CC:

Not one throw away song in the last 50 minutes..!.. that's great!!!!
  10:00pm
CC:

Oh man..!.. this is the very first song I ever learned how to play on guitar!!!
  10:00pm
Carmichael:

The 1st song I learned to play on guitar. Good cover.
