GA Russell Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Happy Birthday! I listened to the AFL's Grand Final last September on the internet. The greatest game of any sport I have ever heard on the radio! Quote
BERIGAN Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Have a great one!!! Do you put candles on the bottom of the cake down there??? It's late... Quote
king ubu Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Happy birthday from a fellow (half, that is...) OZ-tralian... have a nice one, mate! Quote
marcoliv Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 Happy Birthday Socceroo Marcus Oliveira Quote
kenny weir Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks guys. It went Ok for a birthday with an "0" on the end of it. Nothing special but a hunka-chunka steak and a single candle on a scoop of sublime cumquat and brandy icecream! (I get my big fat tax refund next week; will sadly have to use most of it for wiping out credit card debt, but am eyeing up a couple of CDs by poppy '60s outfit The Free Design (whom I have just discovered), or maybe the Oliver Nelson Mosaic).

king ubu Posted July 19, 2006 Report Posted July 19, 2006 Ain't there some kind of OZ-aic of his for you to spend money on? Quote
kenny weir Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Ain't there some kind of OZ-aic of his for you to spend money on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, considering the growing amounts of country music I'm listin' to, it's not such a weird suggestion. And there's one NZ/Oz dude - Tex Morton - that I'd happily bend an ear to. He's highly regarded by those who dig the Wilf Carter/Montana Slim sort of thing. But Slim Dusty, Keith Urban and Australian country in general - blech! I'm an ardent supporter and lover of Australian jazz, and much of the reason for that, I think, is that jazz - just about right from the get go - has always been pretty much international and adaptable. Australian jazz has its own integrity and thing going while still being part of the bigger deal. Country don't travel so well. There's something soulful that goes missing in the translation. Oz country makes me cringe. So do Oz blues. There's cool music, sometimes, in both. But they've invariably got fuck all to do with Muddy Waters or Hank Williams. Whereas, with alto saxophone master Bernie McGann (for instance) it's totally righteous to say he's all Australian and pure jazz. Quote

Sounds like there'd some nice Australian jazz... not much known about that here! Probably not easy to lay hands on any! Quote

I didn't know if you were familiar with him or not. As for this Slim Dusty dude-I dunno-he looks like he just got bonked by a boomerang or something. Anyway I hope you had a Happy Birthday!!!! Quote
