the dead heart by midnight oil. lots of points for playing midnight oil. bonus points for playing something other than beds are burning.

ONe of my local stations loves 'Blue Sky Mining.' As do I, really, so all good. The best of comp is actually pretty solid.

Never could stomach "OWWWT Wheah tha RIVAH GROWS" or whatever the fuck he croaks in that song. Ugh.

All their albums have some good tracks, but 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and Red Sails In The Sunset are the most challenging and least "regular" rock. After that they mainstreamed their sound a bit, though I didn't see it as a drawback.

my local "college" radio station which seems to mostly play boring white chicks and fake blues was playing spoon, arcade fire and iron and wine at 3am just a moment ago.

Had the chance to see them live in 93, I think... maybe it was 94. But they were good. I don't think I have any of their albums anymore, but they were one of the few "conscience" bands I could get into.

the dead heart is by far the best midnight oil song...i love the instrumental outro to that one. in fact i bought their greatest hits album a couple years ago specifically for that song (for a mix i think). blue sky mining was a favorite of mine way back when too. i still have that tape laying around here somewhere.

I still have Diesel and Dust and Blue Sky Mining. Saw them live in '93 when they were touring with the Hip's festival 'Another Roadside Attraction'. I thought they were great. I'd really like to hear Earth and Sun and Moon again as well. I don't think I've heard it since the mid-90s.
