WORLDWIDE WEDNESDAY: Midnight Oil, "Mountains of Burma"

Once again, Mr. Peter Jordan. The opinions and commentary expressed below are his and his alone. Enjoy.

Our faithful blogger has called me a "self-acclaimed music aficionado and news junkie." Today I plan to destroy any delusions of musical taste, self-acclaimed or otherwise.

I am feeling Australia today. My shallow knowledge of Aussie music is INXS, Kylie Minogue, and Midnight Oil.  I don't feel that "Locomotion" has enough international vibe, so Midnight Oil it is. As you listen imagine that big ugly bald dude dancing like he's making a sick joke about disabled persons.


Note: I nearly destroyed my copy of "Blue Sky Mining" in middle school from overplay. Thank God I'm not in middle school anymore.

Inspired to post this by the movie The Giant Mechanical Man (which Maura and I enjoyed watching last night)... here's the Little River Band, performing live in Melbourne in '83.

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: INXS, "Mediate"

Steve M. in New Haven wants you to check out this video of INXS, taking a page straight out of the Bob D. playbook... with the additional treat of a sax solo. Enjoy!
