I never knew that there was an Aussie X. Being a fan of the eighties X. How can I not check out the Australian punk X. Could it be that they both came about in 1977? You definitely sold me on Dirty Three's "Love Changes Everything"> May I say that the artwork is superb? I just checked out some of their live show from Sydney. I did not know what to make of it at first. But I admit to their music being super free, original and definitely out there. Great audience participation. Ben. Your updates are really appreciated. Thanks for keeping me up with the bands that I missed out on and the current artists who I have yet to hear/enjoy~ Rob/Boston
@@Paneeks1960 G’day Rob, Aussie X started independently around the same time. I love both but our X is probably a lot rawer. If you ever get the chance to see D3 live just do it. They are one of the most amazing live experiences you’ll have. It’s so different from anyone else, but evoke beauty, passion, terror, awe & bliss sometimes within the say song in concert. Glad you’re still enjoying the vid’s after all this time being a loyal viewer. Cheers mate 👍….Ben
Wicked good mate. Some awesome cover art. Want those Church and Triffid ones. Well, up in 6 hours to head for the train, ferry and train… 😫 Have a splendid weekend my china 😎
@@MortenAastad Thanks mate. You’re right. A lot of those albums had some tasty art. Hope the train, ferry, train went ok 🤞 You have a ripper weekend too cobber 👍
Good stuff Ben , Nice to see X Aspirations out again , had the original but sold it years ago and regretted it every bloody day . Some excellent re-releases out again , I was rapidly running out of organs to sell to buy a few of the more collectable original pressings 😂😂
@@craigsandry6737 It’s good to see that there’s been a lot of well done reissues lately. I’d love OG’s & do get ‘em when I can, but a lot of the Aus stuff is getting ridiculously expensive. Cheers…Ben
Really interested in that Bored! album - been on my want list since i saw it on you channel previously. But that Radio Birdman live album is a complete shock. I'll be seeking that out immediately. Thank you, Ben. I also need to look into the Australian X. I've heard of them but i need to explore. Cheers! Shawn.
@@the-vinyl-dreamscape5084 Bored! have that big guitar frenzy Detroit influence. They also had Tim Hemensley from God & Powder Monkeys on vox on a few of their records. Birdman is the whole gig of the concert which was scaled down to an EP or single disc from memory in the Box that came out in the 80’s. Aus X are much more raw than the yanks. I’d recommend the first two X-Aspirations & At Home With You 👍
I have a Birdman box from the 80's that has a very condensed version of that show, so it was cool to see it now available in full. Super X are if you just need that extra bit of X. Cheers...Ben
The ‘Hard Ons’ has got to be THE greatest band name ever Bish. But ‘Drunk Mum’s’ hell yea, another corker! The new Orb album looks beautiful, and sounds as if it needs to go into the Doyen’s collection. Dirty Three, shit album name but beautiful artwork and live the music. Staggeringly Hot LAVA pick ups Bish! D🎸
@@pc31thevinylpoliceman It’s a band name that is ‘hard’ to ignore 😂 Drunk Mums sound like what you’d think…obnoxiously great! I think you’d like early Orb too. They have a very heavy Sabs influence. Almost to the point where some of those riffs sound quite familiar, but I love it. Re the D3 album name I think maybe Wazza’s been hanging with Nick a bit too much. Lots of man love between those two. Doyen the LAVA was dangerously hot these last few months. Cheers Bish 🥁
Nice to see that Church record reissued. I haven't heard it. I didn't know that there was an Australian X. That's how North-American-centric I am. I am not sure I like the cover design of the Dirty Three. This is a giant stack of records! Well done 🙂
@@EmbryonicRobot Starfish is rightly regarded as a classic HP but the records before it are top shelf Church. Aus X started around the same time as LA X. The D3 cover has split opinion right down the middle. I actually like Mick Turners art, but as the old saying goes “I don’t know much about art, but I know what I hate”. I wish Ayako would say well done when I buy a giant stack of records.
Hi Ben. Another 5 star collection mate. The Gum/Ambrose album definitely worth exploring. I must get some Hard Ons into my collection pretty soon. Always on the lookout for new punk bands so Billiam now on my list. And I still haven't bought that Orb album!!! What is wrong with me? Cheers Mike
Thats green Lime Spiders ep is the one thats been sitting in one of my locals for ages & I think its only about £12.00, probably a UK original. If its there next week i'm pulling the trigger. Just been reading the New Nick Cave album might be one of his best ever , not a fan, but I'm loving his latest single thats quite Scott Walker, I may finally buy a Nick Cave album.
@@Harrispilton22 Get it mate. Mick Blood’s voice sounds like his name. As you seem to like Scott Walker I’m surprised you weren’t into the Cavester. I think he’s a big influence on our boy. Isn’t everyone’s new album the best ever 😂 Anyway I’m quite interested because he usually changes tact after every 3 albums. I do love bands that are prepared to shed fans in the pursuit of keeping things interesting. Hope you’re going well mate…Ben 👍
Weird Mike, when you were showing the Satanic album suddenly some of the knickers knacks went up in the air, just began to float a little until you put the album away. Not sure if anyone else saw that. Good to know that if I want to catch up with what is happening down under this album will fill me in. Still listening to Orb and digging it. I need to check out a few of their earlier albums. I now have the urge to sacrifice a goat again. Weird
Maybe it"s because you"re a percussionist ....there is rhythm in the sliding out of inner sleeves.....you might think I"m cRAzY...and you would be right!
@benrankins4446 we were probably lucky it was period of time when records weren't being manufactured in large quantities and it was before the (relatively) recent resurge in its popularity amongst the masses
@@juzzy4683 I agree, I feel lucky that I was into vinyl in the 90’s & picked up lots of great Aus OG’s for next to nothing which would cost a fortune now.
You are making me spend some money lol great stack of records. Cheers
@@joaquimgomes4507 Sorry….not sorry 😂

Nice one Ben. I had to jump right on that Super X album.
@@Merseyyank I listened to it again yesterday. Fantastic record. Cheers….Ben
Great bunch of additions Ben. I'd be happy to own any of them. Got that Orb. Probably only actively seeking a few though X, Radio Birdmen...
@@berwickshiremike51 It’s been a hectic few months. What do reckon of the Orb record? Which Birdman are you after? Cheers…Ben

Hi KOS! You must have a dedicated shelf for all your Nick Cave stuff! Like everyone else here in the comments I had no idea there was an Australian X!
@@MGKBOSTON The Cave section does occupy quite a bit of real estate. The Aus X are a lot rawer, but just as good 👍

Where do you buy your records from usually Ben?
@@juzzy4683 A few different places. Strangeworld, Red Eye, Greville, Discogs & all the other usual suspects 👍
@benrankins4446 it's a shame Borders didn't stock much vinyl in our time there to take advantage of staff discounts!
