My eyes are watering just looking at those pre-lycra stovepipes.

And forget who's the host – can anyone tell us what that funny booth-like structure approaching the Harbour Bridge is? I'm much too young to remember ...

Ah yes, back when you used to have to pay to leave…

Frank and I were boyhood friends through sailing, Id forgotten what he looked like with short hair n all.
I think the way the photographer captured all those blurring lights was just like......
Partying with Eric and Frank in the big Knowles St house.

someone wants to tell the mint chicks they're 25 years out of their time.

but better than 80s were at the same stuff...

You're just old. I have two friends with teenage daughters who are absolutely mad for the MintChicks – and the Ramones for that matter.

Funny thing is,…

weird how things can seem kosher on first draft, and not on a reread.

There was a little second hand record shop at the bottom of Fort St

Rock'n'Roll Records. Great shop. Treasure trove. And Kerry knew a thing or two, that's for sure.

My record collection was stolen in a burglary around 1982 and I lost all those old Ripper/Propeller 7'' singles most of which I have never seen again.

Since then of course have bought it on CD on the 'Bigger than Both of us' compilation....in fact I was wondering on the w'end whether more Ripper stuff would find its way onto CD. I've got a lot of compilation vinyl albums from that era which are still non-digitised....

Aged 17 and living out in Auckland's rural hinterland at the time, it really captured the mood of driving up the Southern motorway for what felt like a big night out. Young Farmers hit the Big Smoke....Ugly Ugly scenes. I assumed at the time it…

The host's name is Terry Herbert. He was a bicyle courier who, mistaken as someone auditioning for the role of presenter, ended up getting the gig! He worked in advertising when I knew him around 5-6 years ago, though not sure where he's at now...

I lived that song, though I never got to see the Androidss live.

They were either a mobile party or trouble on legs, depending on your point of view. Lovely chaps either way, and always kind to us young whippersnappers.

A whole band full of the kind of people your mother warned you about.

From Dropa Kulcha in 1981. Can anyone name the host?
