Alcohol bans placed on bottle shops in Alice Springs were difficult to understand and do little to curtail problem drinking, according to locals I spoke with in the town.
Using Ben Orr’s original vocals, I thought I’d try to remake the 12″ version using my own instruments (Using – KorgM1, Korg01, AccessVirusKC and Roland JV2080). I did it because I really love the instrumental section heard once near the end of the 7″, and wanted to hear a few more variations of that in my 12″, especially during the intro. I had to sing some of the backing vocals, the “who’s gonna drive ya, who’s gonna drive ya” chord that repeats occasionally (I hate my voice btw but after applying loads of effects I’m almost unrecognisable, phew!). I didn’t want to stray too much from the sound of the original (I’ve always loved the song, it’s perfect as it is), but I couldn’t find a perfect match for all the instruments, my snare drum is a bit thunderous, and I might have overdone the synthy strings a little. It’s a work in progress anyway, I’ll probably make a few tweaks after I’ve heard it back a few times.
– I made the video out of the film ‘One From the Heart’ because I’ve always had a thing for Teri Garr. She does some excellent dancing during the film I thought might be good to mix some of that with this song. The film has been heavily criticised in the past, it’s a shame because you get the feeling that it could have really been something exceptional. Anyways, the film does have a special look and there are some exceptional moments in it that stay with you.
Enjoy and thanks for visiting.
I agree with you that much of “official” history is rubbish, but I don’t agree with John Levi if he’s claiming that much of Sydney was pre-existing when the early white settlers arrived.
For example, he was looking at a photo of the Rocks area in Sydney (photo dated 1920ish) and saying that the buildings were looking very old. Of course they looked old, they were old, that part of Sydney was occupied from the late 1700’s.
And they looked dirty as you would expect, electricity was generated all over the place using coal fired generators, so there was plenty of soot. Also, private residences were heated by burning coal and wood, smoke and smog everywhere.
There’s also the fact that he was using old black and white photos so naturally everything looked dirty, grey and grimy.
He was also amazed that there were so many tall stone structures in Sydney (built by prisoners in his view); they were all iron or steel structures with stone facades. He doesn’t seem to believe that previous generations were capable of building impressive structures, I think it’s a form of vanity to believe that only the current generation is capable of such creativity and engineering abilities.
That said, thanks for posting his links, I like listening to the fellow. I’ve got no idea who he is, but he sounds like a companionable sort of a bloke who likes to tell stories while flicking through photos while also smoking his dope.
We can agree to disagree. He’s not alone with his thoughts. Approach an engineering firm today, leaving out all the current regs, and ask them to build that 20 acre building in Chicago from the world fair using the same tech at the time.
If the time stamps on the construction are to believed ( wank ) the past past builders were clearly more efficient than those at present.
Tartaria was real ( 96% confidence ) and we are being duped. Many more than Levi are commenting on it, as posted above and quick dismissal is not so simple.
Most people walking around in London / Liverpool / UK etc have no idea what is under their feet.
Clueless tourists above remain clueless. Not their fault. Check up on G-earth, and all the trees planted circa WW2 are covering up ancient sites like you would see in Turkey and Malta. Good luck learning about that at the nearest tourist bureau.

🇵🇪 I was hitching a ride on a transport ship down the Amazon River in Peru when I started noticing people among the passengers who looked distinctly like the descendants of Chinese people. Many boarded and disembarked the ship at the various little jungle towns the ship stopped at until we reached the town of Alto Monte which was like something from a Hong Kong kung Fu movie. But who were these people and why were they dressed in robes and gowns? I disembarked to find out…

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy welcomes U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen
Italian Prime Minister Meloni was also in Kiev recently, they all want to get their photos taken with Zelensky.
The funny thing is, they have to arrange their visits with Moscow before going to get Russian assurances that their visit won’t be interrupted, yet they make speeches about how Ukraine will win the war.
About a week ago Russia publicly called for negotiations. They have done this in the past and its a signal that some offensive operations are about to begin somewhere on the front, it’s to give the Ukes an opportunity to respond with a cease-fire and a sit-down and have a talk.
Usually, the western media has responded to these Russian offers of negotiation by mocking the Russians and declaring that they are almost defeated etc. etc., but they haven’t said anything about the latest offer, there’s been no media mocking or anything, just complete silence.
The other thing worth mentioning is that the Ukes are running out of ammunition and artillery shells and NATO is struggling to even partially supply the Ukes needs, yet the Ukes keep up their artillery and rocket attacks on the civilian areas in Donetsk City and other large population areas. The HIMARS rockets they are firing indiscriminately into the civilian zones cost the American tax payer $100K each, just to blow up some residential home and kill a couple of old age pensioners or some young children, maybe NATO should tell the Ukes to focus on military targets to make better use of what they give.

It’s fascinating to watch the Labor ideologues implode. First super (I’ll only put it in a little bit, trust me) and then the barely contained desire to hit on the family home. A bit more of this and they could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at the next election, especially if inflation and recession continue to be threats to people’s survival and economic security.

The truth about Woke and Broke is making companies change their plans.
But, as of late, there are some naysayers that dare to stand up to the socialism-by-stealth promoters with Tim Buckley, chief executive at Vanguard, perhaps the biggest name yet to buck the ESG orthodoxy.
“Our research indicates that ESG investing does not have any advantage over broad-based investing,” Mr. Buckley said in a recent interview with the Financial Times.
Diversity, equity and inclusion leaders, who were hired in waves to help companies achieve an ethnically balanced workforce after George Floyd’s murder in 2020, are being phased out, surveys indicate, leaving experts in the field concerned that corporations’ talk of affecting change was just empty words.
DEI roles increased by 55% following demands for broader racial equity and justice after Floyd’s murder, the Society for Human Resource Management reported in 2020. But instead of creating fair opportunities and a comfortable work culture for Black employees, a pair of recent reports indicate, DEI professionals are losing their jobs, as layoffs across the economy have gained momentum.
He told me “James, people are going to say and claim whatever to try to take us out. They have an irrational fear of us. They want us on a leash. We’re not going to be on a leash. They want us to dance. We’re not going to dance with them”
Woody Harrelson hosted Saturday Night Live and used his opening monologue to criticize Big Pharma’s response to COVID-19:
“The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes, and people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them over and over.”
