[The Underdog]

There's only one bass line you need to know, and it's ..... (Insert line here).

My answer is "Would" by Alice in Chains. That's a rumbling heart starter for me.

I want to say “Waiting Room” by Fugazi but it’s probably something funky as hell from the Stax catalogue.

What a tune. Haven't listened to it in ages.

The great advantage of being a man child stuck in the 90's is you never have to say you "haven't listened to Would by Alice in Chains in ages"

Saw Tom Allen last night as part of the comedy festival. 1 hour at the Merlyn Theatre and ended up in the front row. My wife was petrified we would be singled out as he tends to pick a few people in the crowd and improvise his comedy. Lucky he picked a few people just a few seats down. He was extremely funny.

Booked into Jesus Christ Superstar tonight.

I can understand your wife's apprehension. My partner is always keen to get up the front whereas i'm happy to hang back a little.
Off to see Paul Foot for the first time tonight.

I saw JC Superstar a few weeks ago.
I'll be interested in your review.

Just saw Flo & Jo at comedy festival- a bit of a female flight of conchords vibe. Very clever-check out lady in the woods on YouTube. Paul Foot was brilliant too. And One Man Musical was a hoot (written by Jo & Flo, they play instruments). Quite liked Flop too (about flop musicals).

First time I have ever seen it and enjoyed it. The singers were brilliant as were the dancers.

I played that album a lot as a kid so it was great to hear it played live for the first time especially in the wonderful Princess theatre.
As for the singing, I thought Judas was exceptional.
And best of all, for someone who's not into musicals generally, it was done and dusted in good time.

I’ve always enjoyed Judas’ work

Supergrass gig was pretty awesome Sunday night.

They played their first album in full, and then hits from the rest of their catalogue and can still rock it out really well.

Wish I had of gone. In the end they may have been the best and most underrated of the Britpop bands.

Like most Britpop artists they dropped off my radar after 2000-2001 as I got further into electronic music, and some of their sounds were a bit samey to me after I Should Coco. But, tend to agree with you they are a touch underrated possibly because they were on the back end of the wave. Musically they are genuinely underrated, there's more complexity in there than they get credit for.

Just home from seeing opening night of AMPLIFIED : THE EXQUISITE ROCK AND RAGE OF CHRISSY AMPHLETT written & performed by Sheridan Harbridge (co-creator of “my brilliant career” musical). Loved it, lots of funny and sad stories about Chrissy Amphlett & singing and band were great.

Friday show sold out. Tomorrow night Doggies playing so unfortunately no chance for Chrissy Amphlett fans to go to remaining 2 nights. However I think it might be performed again sometime (standing ovation indicates they’ve got a potential hit show).

Awesome! Mad respect for her and the band. She mixed it with some serious rockers in her day, genuine icon.
