Hey Stip, have you read this?

That's pretty interesting. Especially considering how vocal Simon & Garfunkel were during the US civil rights movement.

i hadn't.

“Listen, this is not gonna help anybody if you knock off Paul Simon. Trust me on this, alright?"

seems like pretty good advice for any number of circumstances

i'm not sure where I come down on the Simon/Zandt actual debate though. I think Zandt is right, but did Graceland do important work bringing black south African musical culture (and with it, the people) to a wider audience that would then become more sympathetic? Maybe...

If Simon just kinda wanted to record with these guys for the hell of it devoid of any political context then I certainly am on Zandt's side.

Salt N Pepa - Push It

nice pick

Varis, working under the assumption that everyone in Australia knows each other, can you tell BiH it's his turn...

no probs - I'll send my 'roo over to say koo-ee with a note srawled on a gum leaf in its pouch.

wouldn't it be quicker to just boomerang him?

Good point. Actually a few notes on the didge should do it - especially if I go with a well-chosen Yoko Ono tune to catch his attention.

Is that the mating call of all Australians, or just a certain breed?

Shrimp on the barbie shrimp on the barbie!!!!!! Sorry just wanted to join in.

Bob's your uncle!

Maybe the dingo ate your baby

I lost my boomerang last time I threw it - turns out I got ripped off and I'd only bought a bloody stick.

How's yer bum for warts?

It really is. I was thinking about it. I shouldn't have kept putting it off. My fault. But, yeah, great pick.
