I’m still here as well since around 2000 or so. I’d also say I prefer the camaraderie that this list created, and I have lifelong friends I made through it. The Facebook page seems fanatical in a different way, so I take it with a grain of salt and sift through a lot of it. It has been nice to reconnect with some people from this list via Facebook though. And I’ll still be glad when I see updates here in my inbox.

Hi Mike,

 

Yes I agree the hands and bananas are a bit too much on the face book page.  The banana was 1st posted for sizing purposes.  Someone put up a photo of a poster and had a banana with it to show how big the poster was.

 

It sort of took off from there and is now out of control.

 

It’s good to see the list continue.  Although I haven’t been on it as long as others it was my introduction to a group who share a common interest and I will always cherish the friends I have made through this list. 

 

A great bunch of people..

 

Simon..

I've been on this list for years, and I also belong to the Facebook group.  I like that group, but I have to be 

honest (and hopefully this doesn't offend any other people who belong to both this and the FB group) but 

sometimes it gets to be a bit much at times with all the postings of images of outstretched hands and bananas. 

I get the hand, but I still haven't figured out the bananas.Thinking face

Don't think I'll ever unsubscribe either Kev as this is the real Powderworks group!  :-)

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,

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
