Put me down as a big S v S fan too....


                              Was only listening to Xenophobia yesterday as a matter of fact....



                         AO Mod TV Vers is a cracker of an album...... and would be great to see a doco. on it...... but the chances are slim

  Would have been good that one was done for Spy v Spy AO Mod TV Vers album. You refer to Silverchair being the most over rated oz band, well, I think the spies were the most under rated, unmarketed and under appreciated oz band of their time. They deserved more than what they got and I can still listen to their stuff as much as the oils and other bands mentioned in this thread.

  Earlier this year the series aired episodes on The Triffids' Born 
  Sandy Devotional, The Saints' I'm Stranded, Crowded House Woodface, 
  and yes, some god-awful silverchair rekurd (minus any mention of 
  mogine - i'm assuming that's the reason this most over-rated of 
  australian groups ever gets a mention here). In the latest 
  installments we saw The Go-Betweens 16 Lovers Lane, Nick Cave and The 
  Bad Seeds' Murder Ballads and Hunters' Human Frailty. IMO, with the 
  exception of SC, this was fairly well put together series, though 
  certainly a doco on 10-1 would be a welcome addition (along with The 
  Church Starfish, Radio Birdman Radios Appear, Skyhooks Living in the 
  70s, Hoodoo Gurus Stoneage Romeos etc). 

  I found an earlier comment about Mushroom's involvement maybe 
  precluding any featuring of the Oils interesting. Both Mushroom's 
  Gudinski and aussie music uber-jurno Toby Cresswell were instrumental 
  in the series. If not snubbed by Mushroom, I wonder whether the Oils 
  very unpopular (within the local industry) anti-establishment stance 
  in their earlry years has done their dash?
