Those ads were very successful, although I never figured out why they showed them here as often as they did. From memory I think the only tourism ad they claimed was more successful was this one. They did try to recreate the success a few years ago with some actors pretending to do Crocodile Dundee and some stupid ocka sayings which cost a fortune and failed dramatically. Is there a difference between shrimp and prawn? We call the tiny ones that go in meals like fried rice or noodles, shrimp, but anything bigger is called a prawn, and then the really big ones are king prawns. I've never really noticed American's talk about prawns. Back in the 70's when the Foster export train really started much of our beer did look like oil cans. They were even more oil can like when they were made of steel rather than aluminium. They have changed the shape a little bit over the years and made the logos and cans more recognisable as beer but they still look a little like oil cans. In the case of those that make stout the contents look like oil too.

Obituary - Slowly We Rot

Shrimps (Prawns) were cheap this year it would have been a good time to throw them on the barbie, although most people cook the shit out of them anyway. Actually for a country that prides itself on a 'barbie' there is a lot of Aussies who cook the shit out of the food to an almost inedible state. The Fosters beer promos worked well though because exporting it in the quantities we did meant that no reasonable Aussie was caught drinking the stuff. Paul's looking a little like he was a shrimp on a barbie these days. But I thought we were all supposed to look and sound like Crocodile Dundee, or more recently Steve Irwin. Crickey!

Overkill - Horrorscope

I remember that interview. While us Aussies may not all have the hero quality of that guy we do all aspire to reach the legendary status of him. Sadly though the idiot host on the left is too often represented by overseas media as a 'real aussie'.

Oh, we've got another eclipse down here in the southern hemisphere next year, perhaps you can come down and do some survival courses for us.

I don't have any lossless music, never felt the need. I don't even have a set of headphones, just a set of $2 earbuds that I used to use when I listened to music in bed. NP: Taramis - Queen Of Thieves

Innasanatorium - Odyssey Of The Mind

Now I know you're taking the piss. As far as eclipses go I think it was a one star event!

Mortal Sin - Mayhemic Destruction

Judas Priest - Painkiller

It doesn't matter the content of the podcast the chicks just flock to the hot Aussie for the sound of his voice. To be honest I have never heard an American suggest the Aussie accent it unpleasant. Maybe I'm taking the piss a bit suggesting all the chicks will flock to such an accent but most American's I know rate the Aussie accent pretty highly.

Nuclear Assault - Handle With Care

Dark Angel - Leave Scars

Catbreath - Slice 'Em All

Of course they would, with the added bonus that all the chicks swoon at the wonderful Aussie accent

Previous Orange Goblin topic was closed ages ago so there may not be much point reopening it but the new single is a catchy little ditty. Looking forward to the new album Science, Not Fiction in July

Punching Moses - Live Short And Suffer. Concrete - High Evolution Catbreath - Slice 'Em All

Atrophy - Socialised Hate

I read something last year claiming they were together but they didn't have new music, so who knows. Tank - Filth Hounds Of Hades

I used to consider myself a bit of a collector. I do have a lot of old stuff, a lot of classic stuff, and some collectors items, as well as newer stuff which I guess some what fits the term collector. But over the last few years I've been a lot more selective with what I buy. I used to hunt out the new release lists every Saturday, go through everything to see what it sounded like and whether I wanted it. But after years of doing it I realised I was just adding albums to the collection for the sake of it. Many albums would get listened to once or twice and left for dead, some weren't even worth listening to twice.

The Accused - Oh Martha

Stoner - Boogie To Baja

Speedboozer - Still Ugly, Still Pissed, Still Hate You
