Being more twitchy than a cheerleader with tourettes the past few days I have given up work for the night. Nothing on TV. I have seen every DVD in my collection (which is considerably sizeable) a squillion times. Not really into my book at the moment. My skatey is rooted from the last time I rode in the wet and my eyes were shrivelling up like sundried tomatoes from staring at Photoshop and Indesign all day. F#%K what is going on? I just wanted to whack on some headphones and kinda immerse myself in noise. So guess what happened? Thats right (jeeze you Sandwich Club faithfull are onto it) I found Podly and before you could say "I have a lovely bunch of coconuts" the phones were in and I was solid gone. Tape loops, drum change ups, a humming synth and gritty guitar foldbacks did laps in my noggin. The goo upstairs started to form colours to the music of STRAIGHT TO VIDEO. I guess this four piece from Adelaide had the inside of our eyelids in mind for a canvas because my eyes conjured stuff that the worlds biggest 'iTunes Visualizer' would shit itself over...........ratatatatatatatatatatat of the iPod clickwheel.

A suitable bandname for such an experience in colour coded sound would have to be LOVE STEREO, also from Adelaide. Ambers and Scarlets were replace by Azzure Blues and Prime Greens. My 'Woodstock hippy whoa man' experience continued, but on a more subdued level. I was wooed by the same foldback as before but with a softer, more melodic, tube amplifier drift of noise. Considering they are only a relatively young band, these stereo lovers come across as polished as a prep school pupil's Clarks. My twitchiness was finito.

Thanks to these two radelaide bands I've discovered a new system of music classification. Screw this 'Post Chai Latte New Wave Psychedelia'. Its quite simple really......
