Haha thanks mate. There's a certain wistful quality to this record, knowing the back story, looking at the cover and knowing he would just disappear from history after that bizarre tour. Kinda wanna track down where he is now... and hell, I actually like the song.
Hi Paulie! Have for years dreamed of hearing this song. Thank you so much for uploading this. I'm a podcaster in Sydney and I was wondering if you'd be interested in chatting to me about it?
No clue why this showed up in my recommendations, or if there’s about to be a sudden recommendation boom, but it sounds nice so at least it’s got that going for it
Thanks for uploading this. Quite good timing, too, as I need it for my Australian chart blog post (focused on singles that charted outside the top 100) this coming Friday! It peaked at number 146 in October 1989.
@@pauliejay4161 Yes, technically, but only in a section of the chart that has never been published. I write about this part of the chart on my Bubbling Down Under blog (a link is in the About section of my channel page if you are interested), and will write something about this song in the post published on Friday this week.
@@bubblingdownunder Wow - and honestly mate, I am proud of Marcus. Not evey irony. That fact is he and his team got the Sydney scene to notice, and that is better than most.
@@pauliejay4161 Not hailing from Sydney, I'd never heard of him before. I guess he really did leave an impression, then (he even has his own wikipedia page).
Hiya John! Patch those burns up real quick! The music is: Snippet of "Shocker in Gloomtown" - The Breeders (originally be Guided by Voices) "Shot in Europe" - Falling Joys "Dig" - Mark Lizotte (Diesel) "Camp Hill Rail Operator" - Cotton Mather
My favourite burst as at 9:33. We saw a small but very impressive fireworks display at Huskisson where they didn't go very high and the wind blew the firey chunks of colourful magic raining down upon us like a meteorite shower/firefight. "INCOMING!" I kept shouting at my friends and kids dived for cover. A really multisensory experience with the added bonus of little burns.
