Heard this yesterday. Took me back. Loved this song. Saw them live at Offshore 99. Underrated.

Frankstonās finest! A severely under-rated band! Dribble J cultivated this image of them being pretty much a jokey, TISM-without-masks band, but theyāve always been far smarter than that.
Iāve got most of their albums, and theyāve mellowed out quite nicely. Donāt think theyāve ever really cracked a complete album, but a playlist of their best moments is chock full of great tunes like thisā¦
Great lyrics tooā¦
Turtlenecks and goatee beards
Iāve got a pathological fear of being sideways
The game is up
Iām never going to star in Spartacus
Iāve got a weak chin
Wheel me in

I donāt know that itās been years but it was never a favourite.
But itās popped up in my feed and into heavy rotation lately, and now it is a favourite. I donāt know why, but it just makes me so happy. I think itās the ridiculousness of it, but itās also a banger.
I also have to respect that The KLF just blatantly reused so much for pretty much all their hits.

Was āThe Sweet Mixā as big everywhere else as it was in the Wimmera?
When I first heard it, the only Sweet song I knew was Ballroom Blitz. And it wasā¦a steep learning curve because Everybody knew every moment of that medley. It was a go to last hour banger of pretty much every club.
Thereād be Strokinā, and Knock On Wood, and Push itā¦and always that.
Aaaaaanyway, thatās not what I came in to post.
Bubblegum grunge before grunge was a thing. Indie but super pop.
I feel like they could have made a very good career just Ramonesing it. For years and years and years.
Anyway, I think this is cool. One of the Very few songs I could sing lead while playing bass.
And the YouTube sounds better, crisper and more tremoloey than Spotify. Which is kinda weird.

Great song.
Saw Ratcat a few years backā¦ opening act at one of those winery shows. That and Donāt Go Now were (and always have been) comfortably their best songsā¦ maybe Candyman. The rest was a wash of soundalike quiet verse/loud fuzz pedal chorus tunes. Decent, but not really memorable.
Funny looking backā¦ when I first heard That Aināt Bad I thought it was Jesus & The Mary Chain. No idea whyā¦

Iāve got an unopened green vinyl This Nightmare.
I really should play it because itās not like it would be worth anything.
