"Heart"

No, not the American powerpop/hardrock (?) band, but an album issued in 1972 on Motown. I bought this on vinyl about 25 years ago in Maastricht for 1 Dutch guilder (about 0,5 $) thinking I could do no wrong with such little amount of money. And well, I did no wrong ! This album is full of wonderful melodic songs. There are two members : Bob Barron and (lead singer) Carl Silva.

I assume this has never been released on cd, so I ripped it from the LP. I can't find much info on this album on the internet. Maybe some of you guys know more ? And tell me if you like it as much as I do.

Triffids - Goodbye little boy

This was the first single from the black swan, here presented with the three extra tracks on the cd-single.

Note that this version is different from the black swan version : it was remixed by Stephen Street and the lyrics were censored (Jill is so damn tired instead of so fu*in' tired). Must admit that I prefer the album version.

1. Goodbye little boy
2. Go home Eddie
3. Shell of the man
4. You minus me

Day of my ascension

On the Triffids forum, people are pretty pleased about the result of Australian elections. You can read about it here : http://thetriffids.com/forum/index.php?topic=1781.0

I don't know much about Australian politics, so I won't say anything about it.

As the topic on the Triffids forum is called "on the day of my ascension", I thought to let you hear a cover version of the song The day of my ascension (originally from Love of will, Dave's only solo album). This one is from "sans soleil", a covers/demos album by Victor Krummenacher, maybe known to you from Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker. FYI, the pressing of "sans soleil" is limited to 500 copies. Enjoy it !

Triffids - Raining pleasure

I was asked by James Paterson, who is writing the booklet notes for the Raining pleasure re-issue, to up this one as he currently isn't able to listen to vinyl.

Way back, I copied my vinyl to Cd in order to listen to it in my car. At the time, I did not know how to create separate tracks, so I had two long tracks with the A and B side of the record. I decided to leave it that way for this post, as I believe that is the way one should listen to vinyl.

Tracks are : Jesus Calling / Embedded / St James Infirmary // Everybody Has To Eat / Ballad of Jack Frost / Property is Condemned / Raining Pleasure

http://rapidshare.com/files/59520808/RP.rar

Triffids : as featured in NEIGHBOURS !

In 1989, Bury me deep in love got a second chance of becoming a hit, as it was played in the soap series Neighbours. The CD single (my copy has got a sticker on it with the message "as featured in neighbours") has different B-sides than the original issue : Rent (Pet Shop boys cover) and Into the groove (Madonna cover). These B-sides are not included on the otherwise splendid Calenture 2CD re-issue. Here you find the complete CD-single.

David McComb & Adam Peters

Here I present the "I don't need you EP" ripped from vinyl with the following tracks :

1. I Don't Need You

2. Willie The Torch

3. Liberty and a thousand faces

4. I Don't Need You (Baker's Mix)

I heard an interview with Dave in which he claims Willie the torch should have been the A-side, and indeed that one is a killer track. I think I don't need you is rather mediocre (for Dave's standards).

http://rapidshare.com/files/51551373/DMC.rar

As a bonus I included in the rar-file the David McComb/Adam Peters track on the Leonard Cohen tribute "I'm your fan" : Don't go home with your hard-on.

The sixth song is a cover by Dave of the Johnny Cash classic Country boy, taken from the "'til things are brighter" compilation.

I think you have now got all Dave tracks that appear (only) on compilations, except for "Still alive and well" which can be found on the "Where joy kills sorrow" compilation. You can still buy that compilation here : www.wminc.com.au/shop.shtml. Just do that, and you will make mr. Graham Lee a happy man.

Triffids live in 2006 !

The original band members, of course without David McComb, came to the low lands for three concerts in June 2006. They played two concerts in Hasselt, Belgium (which I attended) and one in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The main guest singer was Mark Snarski, known from The Jackson code. Belgian Harald Vanherf, maybe known to some of you from The Hoodoo Club or Wicona Airbag, sang Lonely Stretch.

I have audio of these concerts but the sound quality of the Amsterdam concert is by far superior to the Hasselt ones. So here you find the Amsterdam concert of 26 June 2006. The Triffids played the following songs :

1. Too hot to move (vocal Graham Lee)
2. Trick of the light (vocal Graham Lee)
3. Place in the sun (vocal Alsy MacDonald)
4. Goodbye little boy (vocal Jill Birt)
5. Raining pleasure (vocal Jill Birt)
6. Jerdacuttup man (vocal Graham Lee)
7. Property is condemned (vocal Harald Vanherf)
8. Good fortune rose (vocal Jill Birt)
9. Go home Eddie (vocal Graham Lee)
10. Personal things (vocal Mark Snarski)
11. Life of crime (vocal Mark Snarski)
12. Lonely stretch (vocal Mark Snarski)
13. Stolen property (vocal Mark Snarski)
14. Tender is the night-the long fidelity (vocal Jill Birt)
15. Field of glass (vocal Mark Snarski)
16. Bury me deep in love (vocal Mark Snarski)
17. Once a day (vocal Graham Lee)
18. Stand up (vocal Graham Lee)

David McComb in Four Hours Sleep

In 1996, Dave participated in the Four Hours Sleep project which resulted in a CD called More of her. Apparently, only 600 copies were pressed on CD.

Here I present you the two songs in which Dave appears : This song can save you and When I first met you.

Triffids tapes

http://ausrock.blogspot.com/search?q=triffids

Go to the above site for copies of the dungeon tapes (i.e. dungeon tape and son of dungeon tape) and of jack brabham tape.

David McComb in Blackeyed Susans

David McComb has, outside of the Triffids, been active in many ways : solo (with the red ponies), with Adam Peters, in Four Hours Sleep, in Costar, in Blackeyed Susans.
With the latter he sung lead vocals on 4 songs, 3 of which appeared on their first EP "Some births are worse than murders" : Don't call yourself an angel, Enemy mine and Cripple Creek. These tracks can also be found on the CD Welcome Stranger, which combines the first 3 EP's and some extra tracks, including a version of In the pines with Dave on backing vocals.
On their first true album, All souls alive, he sang the Leonard Cohen/Phil Spector cover Memories.

Both Welcome Stranger and All souls alive are very good CD's in a whole, as are all the other Blackeyed Susans albums. You can still find them for sale if you search well on the internet.

Here you find the four Dave sung Blackeyed Susans tracks. Enjoy.

Triffids Werchter 5 July 1987

Twenty years ago, The Triffids played at the Torhout-Werchter festival in Belgium. I was there !
The last part of the concert was broadcasted on the radio and you can find that one here. Songs are : Stolen property (from Born Sandy Devotional), Ring of fire (Johnny Cash cover, never officially released by the Triffids), How could I help but love you (Aaron Neville cover, also to be found on the Stockholm live cd), Once a day (cover sung by "Evil" Graham Lee from In the pines) and Raining pleasure (from Raining pleasure).

There should be some live performances issued by Domino in the near future. I'm really looking forward to that.
