Midnight Oil

G'day all,

I share all the sentiments you've expressed. I've been on the list since sometime in the 90s - I think it was originally hosted on the Uni of Colorado's website or something similar (I know someone out there will remember the exact details!)

So it was here I was able to share the disappointment when PG left the band, the excitement at their reformations, swap (or even just send or receive without expecting anything in return) live CDs etc,  indulge in (or merely observe) various debates on things directly or tangentially related to MO, not to mention sharing the odd humorous exchange.

Glad to hear there's others out there still keeping the embers glowing - and thanks to the folks still managing it, something beyond my time or capabilities to do.

Cheers
David

I saw MO1984 last week with some FB workers who I met through this list. I don’t think they’re on the email group anymore and they were surprised it still operates. 


Think I’ve been on this list since about 96ish and no plans to move on. 

Cheers

My thoughts exactly, Kev.  I’ve been here since 96 or 97, and I’ll be here for as long as the list exists!  So many thoughtful debates, generous bootleg trades, and examples of true comradery over the years have made this place irreplaceable.  

I’m on the Facebook group as well, and it’s great for what it is, but Facebook is hardly conducive to depth or nuance, which this place has plenty of when needed.

hold together,
Mike ‘Elixir’ Blackwood

Nah - not unfortunate that we’re still here at all!! 


I’m quite proud of this old email list and glad that it still gets a trickle of traffic from time to time. I’ve made some great friends through this list and had some great opportunities thanks to the generosity of its members. 

I’m not a Facebook user so really pleased that this list keeps ticking over!  Think even if I joined FB I’d stay a member here where it began. 

Long live the old school PW mailing list!! 

Thanks for continuing to share the links and news.

G'day all fellow non-FB dinosaurs,

The first you're probably all aware of, but I only just came across it- Rob's EP Powerful owls, with Lez Karski (producer of HI and BN) and guitarist/singer with Bondi cigars among others, and Jack Howard on brass. Giving it a first listen as I type this - sounds like a ripper. You too can listen to it in full on Rob's website:


The next is an interview with the director of MO 1984 Ray Argall on ABC RN's screen show. I thought it was noteworthy that the interviewer went into the film not a MO fan, but was by the end of it. Scroll down to the May 3 show. It's the first interview, but if you're into film etc, the rest is worth a listen too.




Cheers
David
