Interesting playlist, albums span, punk, experimental punk, hiphop, and reggae. Baker boys in there, as good as ever. I'm jumping into Kiala and the Afroblaster today. Some relaxed reggae for a Friday arvo.

It's easy to find some of the old union folk songs but tougher to find newer aussie ones if you're not in a scene. Good to see some local albums made the list!

Yeah, i thought the Aussie ones were some of the most interesting as well.

Have you got a link to some of those old union folk songs? Not really sure which you mean.

There's not that much to protest about

  1. Tesla CEO Elon Musk

(America) Don't care

  1. Musk's on-and-off buddy, US President

(Even more America) Care even less (also grats on having a period 🤢)

  1. Greta Thunberg

lmao ok now they're really having a laugh

Sorry Mat Ward, I'd rather listen to Skeler's new album (He's Australian) and give money to him than more money to crying Americans

I find Skeler's music addictive. Been a huge fan since I heard night drive I.
