Classic Rock Bottom

     I bet you thought I can't keep up with the funny stuff. Haven't you?
Well, think again. It's the fourth time I'm doing it. BAM!
Now it's officially a series. What? Others have them, So can I.

     OK, here we go.
You know that sound that's native to Australia? No, it's not the one your face makes when it's smacked by a returning boomerang, nor is the mating call of the horny kangaroos and it's definitely not the one a didgeridoo lets out when it's filled with aboriginal fart. No, it's the one that was invented by that band... whatchamacallit? The band that not even Mutt Lange could diversify. Yeah that one, whose sound is mimicked by every other band in Australia (except Men At Work).

     Well, obviously the sound is so profound that bands from all over the world want a piece of the pie. Why not? Those Australians, whose name still escapes me, made a career out of it, why shouldn't others too? It's not hard at all. One, two, three... chords, a two finger solo and... that's all it is.

     While Scandinavia resides on the opposite end of the globe, these vibes made their ways from down under all the way up to the land of Vikings, where it was graciously adopted by lads who couldn't resist the temptation. They called themselves AB/CD, just to precede the band, whose name I gave up remembering, in all the alphabetically sorted catalogs. Clever move, don't you think? But don't call them poor man's anything. No sir and please leave your sarcasm home. There will be plenty of that provided for you in Cut The Crap, and other titles begging to be sang along in a chorus, like:

"Mikey's Butt's just like
Mikey's Mouth,
'cause when they start to sing
nasty things come out.
You really stink things up and
you're gonna pay,
Hey, I can smell your music a mile away."

     Of course, names like: Bengus and Nalcolm must be fakes, but rumor has it, Braijan who supplied the "throat", is none other than Mats Levén (Malmsteen, Therion, Candlemass) Now, the real question is, who can party harder? Swedes or the Ozzies? Place your bets, folks. Who's the best? The answer lies ahead of you.

Finally getting around to listen to, (for the first time) some music I've been putting aside (for years).

Australian's are the harder partiers.

Hey, this sounded like some other band that I can't recall. Maybe Rose Tattoo or Midnight Oil.

Now I want a new Therion album. maybe I'll just listen to some of their past stuff.

All in all, this was pleasant. Didn't make me feel like partying since it's 7:30 in the AM, but that's ok.
