Place Without a Postcard - The Midnight Oil Thread

[Higgs]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Species Deceases is the single greatest EP of all time.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Species Deceases is the single greatest EP of all time.

It’s definitely the best.

[Higgs]

Well, that's conclusive then. We've done our survey and 100% of respondents agreed.

[LetMeSleep]

Sorted. To the bar.

[Higgs]

Sorted. To the bar.

Done. I'll have one of these:



Call me King of the Mountain.

This is a pretty strong album. At The Time Of Writing has been stuck in my head for days.

Less than a week till the gig.

[Higgs]

I need to check this out. I have been slacking on my internet time wasting lately.

But pretty sure the Oils gig will be a casualty of our hard border sadly. Having said that I know we are spiking cases again today after breaking 100 for the first time yesterday, so it is possible that the border goes sooner than later as its kinda redundant at this point.

[LetMeSleep]

Just checked out the support for tomorrow night. William Crighton. And a friend of mine plays bass for him.

Higgs, you get Goanna you lucky bastard.

[Higgs]

Looking forward, not gonna lie. I haven't been able to give the album a dedicated listen yet, but the few casual listens have given good vibes.

[LetMeSleep]

Well that was fun.

[Higgs]

Wicked! Do tell!

Looks like a damn fine show on paper indeed.

I actually rate the new album too. Solid release with some good tunes. I love that intro to Rising Seas.

Very pleasantly surprised - wasn't overly impressed with The Makarrata Project so was fearing the worst.
