Right then..no muckin about tonight...cos me fav band..another crazy bunch of Aussie rockers...King Gizzard, are dropping their latest album tonight..or tommorow in their case. It's the 2nd this year..so goodness knows what else is coming....they've already put out 15 albums in 7 years!!! It's bloody expensive keeping up with them! And this next one..is going be mental.....it's proper full on, raw, thrash album...apparently!

Anyway, the final theme round for a few weeks, cos the first ever Cream of Summer rounds, will begin next Sunday, & i am so not ready, having not prepared me list yet. But i'll chuck summin' together at the 11th hour no doubt!

'til then, the 3rd placer of the last round was Jemma, so, rather neatly, her theme is next, so let's be having good rocking time of it folks..line 'em up..pretty please! :):

'Rock On' All and every genre included'

Noms & links in the usual fashion, thank you.

See ya on Wednesday.

Some hard rock from Belgium, from this years 'Nest' album. Pretty standard album but this track and 'Cemetary' are worth a listen imo.

And it'll still gain in value! Everything they've released, does! Not that i buy their physical releases for that reason, of course! :)

"And it'll still gain in value!"

of course it will - if the records are released in limited quantities that (for some unfathomable reason) fall short of demand, there will always be copies to be had from those wishing to make as big a profit as possible, taking advantage of the genuinely interested. so, many individuals with no interest in king gizzard (known as the sane!) will buy up supplies just to make a killing - a process similar to taking candy from a baby,

Alas, that has been the case for many years Tech...but Gizz's rise in popularity in recent years (yes...they're gaining in popularity Tech!), has meant that their own label has increased the number of copies for each new album. Also, last year, they put out the first re-releases for their earliest and rarest albums, in large quantities...so fans no longer need to fork out stupid prices being asked for the 1st presses nowadays.

I'm amazed they found time in amongst all the stuff they're still playing from when I gave up listening to P.R. several years ago.

Tech XXIII wrote: "they are indeed the cat's chookies!"

Are they the bits that get stuck to the fur at the rear end?

[Craig White]

:) tbh, more the bits that get lopped off and flung into clinical waste bins, so mibbe not the comparison i was looking for?

[Brass Neck]

The album sleeve's VERY metal darling! Does look like HN though?

Good evening music musers.

13 songs & 13 votes...all nice 'n' neat.

Topping the rock charts then is the 1960's classic psychers, July with perhaps their best known song, Dandelion Seeds...reaping 17 whole points. So, this week's gold gong, goes to SussexWelsh. Well done sah.

And it's been a wee while, but we have a battle for 2nd & 3rd places. Garnering 15 points apiece, the Mongolian rockers The HU (the ...who?!), with Yuve Yuve Yu versus Dutch folk rockers Omnia, with Witches Brew .....it's time for a countback..........& the results are.......Omnia scores 3 max points to The HU's 2.

So, Derek wins the silver & Tech Sargeant gets the Bronze gong.

Well done chaps..nice playlist.

Right..its here folks....the first ever Summer Cream Of rounds, up next.

[Derek]

Crikey, second place - who knew there were so many Morris dancing fans on here.:-)

Despite the mockery, Morris dancing has some violent undertones. Miss your cue with those wooden staves and you could take a smack to the face! The prancing around with hankies doesn't do the image any favours, mind.

Too true Tim, especially the 'styles' of Morris dancing shown in the video for the track. Some of that lot and their costumes were downright scary.
