Just check out the bloke at the back of this photo of Coldplay (and there is lots wrong with them) taken at the Grammy's.

The stat counter attached to this blog shows me where all you wonderful people who visit this blog come from and what you do while visiting (so to speak). A recent visitor from Ancash in Peru led me to this thread (that mentions my blog).
With a new ('Monoliths/Dimensions') album on it's way as well as having their music featured in the new Jim Jarmusch film 'The Limits of Control' alongside 'Earth' & 'Boris' it's looking like this is possibly the year that 'Sunn O)))' will break out from the 'doom/drone metal' minority box that they are presently in. To my ears (as the soundtrack to my unraveling world) there is something very cathartic about this band, especially when played at maximum volume.

Last Friday night I saw the mighty Oils in Canberra who were performing two full shows as a rehearsal for the charity concerts yesterday at Melbourne and Sydney. They were incredible. Astonishing really given they had not played in many years. It was like they had never stopped. There was the odd wrong chord or incorrect/ mistimed lyric but for the most part it was flawless. Peter Garrett was in fine voice and was as energetic as ever with his trademark dance moves on full display.
It was a great setlist containing many of there classic live songs. In fact if I was to choose the setlist it would have contained about 90% of what they played. Unlike the Thursday show, this one included many of there old classics - Lucky Country, Armistice Day, No Time for Games and Don’t Wanna Be the One. So I think I chose the right night. The encore also included US Forces which was not played the previous night. There had been a lot of debate leading up to the concerts whether he would play it given his position. But in the final encore he basically said bugger it, it might not please some of those in my party, but lets just play it.
It was a pretty subdued Peter Garrett on stage. There was a bit of friendly banter between songs but none of the rage or lengthy political statements we are used to. I guess that is to be expected. He certainly didn’t compromise himself.
The atmosphere was the best I have ever seen at a concert. I’ve never seen a crowd so hyped. They were at fever pitch. Audience participation was fantastic.
I have seen the Oils a few times and this was as good as any of those performances. They have still got it. Lets just hope this is not the last time they ever play together.
From memory, here are some of the songs they played in no particular order. There are quite a few songs missing so it is not complete.
