The Mark Of Cain - Ill at Ease

Now that Triple J  Top 100 Aussie Albums is over i can talk about- The Mark Of Cain. My only album that didn't get in and why?! .... Seriously an awesome album, yeah sure not to much commercial success but that still doesn't make it a great album. There's something about a three piece band that I love. Maybe it's the simplicity of it all - drums, guitar, bass & vocals all in prefect timing. I dunno. I'll let the album speak for itself. Definitely one of my favs from the 90's. I don't think the live recordings do it justice but that's all youtube has. Pretty hard to get good album recordings, Here's a few. Enjoy.
Hey it actually made it into the top 200- Number 195!

Little Miss Australia (Heart breaker)

Serious some of the best closed snare ever. Wish there was an album version. Interloper!

There's been news of another album soon. Fingers crossed!

Into the Wild

What a great book, great movie, awesome soundtrack. Tho we are talking about Eddie Vedder here so you really can't go wrong. He just captures the essence of this movie perfectly. The freedom of the wild, the isolation. the joy of the open road. I've always love the idea of taking off. Leaving this modern rat race behind. Buying a farm in the bush, building a shack and living off the land. Living a simpler life. Tho one thing is for sure I wouldn't pick Alaska. Too cold! Maybe a tropical island. I would need music too so not sure how'd I'd get round that one. Maybe a coconut radio like Gillian's Island. Anyway brillant soundtrack.

Check out the original too. Johnny-what a poser!



Maya Jane Coles

Shit! I haven't posted in a while. I'll just do a few quick ones of what's been going thru my ears lately. Been listening to this London house producer/dj. Never really got into house, tho never really listened to much either. But I like this. It's smooth & deep. Very hypnotic. Great for listening to at work & zoning out. Check it out. All her stuffs good.
