and I forgot to mention before, Ed Kuepper wasn't left out. the Saints were last series, which were the most influential band he's been in to date. they're not going to do every musical project he does til the day he kicks the bucket.

I know about The Saints one, but I still think they should do Honey Steel's Gold or something. He played that for the Don't Look Back tour supporting Low (I think), so it's obviously held in high regard.

I think they'd be more inclined to repeat artist such as Nick Cave with the Birthday Party and the likes. They've not yet touched on a bunch of bands that are considered 'classic', AC/DC, INXS, Midnight Oil, to name a few.

They're cool specials no matter what the band. The last series was 4 great artists though.

Has the Nick Cave one aired yet? I've seen that the DVD is available to order on an Aussie website, and I'm wondering whether to get it.

I have to say, I'd have chosen a different album to Murder Ballads, but, hey, I didn't make the series, so what right do I have to criticise?

Every time I see the title of this thread, I have a little giggle.

Yes, I saw it. It's good, worth getting if you're into Nick Cave. I think it was chosen because of its commercial success, rather than whether it's their best album.

There is an double CD called "do the pop: australian garage rock sound 1976-1987 " which is excellent! I guess the title says it all; the Saints, radio birman, fun things, victims, scientists etc...

 

One of the best songs is the absoulte fabulous powerpop gem "don´t talk about us" from the someloves. originally the b-side to this 7";
