“Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscle
I said, “Do you speak-a my language?”
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich”

Hey SFBA, a musician who has been on my radar is Colin Hay.
If you are old like me, you might remember him from Men At Work. If you are less old, you might only know him from a guest appearance on Scrubs.
He'll play 2 shows in the SF Bay area on January 24 & 25.
I might go to one or both.
"It's a Mistake" is a song by the Australian band #MenAtWork. The song was written by lead singer and guitarist #ColinHay and the recording was produced by Peter McIan. It was released in June 1983, as the third single from their album #Cargo and peaked at #34 in Australia. In the US, it entered the charts at #42 on July 2, 1983, and peaked at #6 on the Billboard #Hot100 in August 1983 becoming the band's fourth and final top 10 hit.

"Down Under" is a song recorded by #Australian #rock band #MenAtWork. It was originally self-released in 1980 as the #Bside to their first local single, "Keypunch Operator", before the band signed with #ColumbiaRecords. Both early songs were written by the group's co-founders, #ColinHay and #RonStrykert. The early version of "Down Under" has a slightly slower tempo and different arrangement from the later Columbia release.

Ted Tocks Covers - Year 7 - Day 37
Waterloo Sunset
An English classic released on this day in 1967.
“Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night?
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise”

LISTEN LOCAL
WTSA
Mastodon Post
Totally by accident, leading up to today's noon news break, I came in on the end of the first episode of WTSA's new local music program, "Listen Local."
https://wtsaradio.com/listen-local/
"Listen Local" features music by local acts and by other acts playing locally. The show is hosted by Mitch Harrison of Next Chapter Records in Putney, Vermont. Local bands named under the "Episode One" heading are Whiskey Treaty Roadshow and Jake McKelvie and the Countertops. Non-local acts named are Colin Hay, Carsie Blanton, Ellis Paul, Lucy Kaplansky, and Amythyst Kiah.
WTSA has a mobile app. In fact, I haven't listened any other way in a very long time.
If the program has gotten a lot of fanfare so far, I am not aware of it. A search of Facebook's Southern Vermont Music Scene, for instance, turned up no references to it. Maybe this Mastodon post can help.

"Overkill" is a song by Australian pop rock band #MenAtWork. It was released in March 1983 as the second single from their second studio album #Cargo. Written by lead singer #ColinHay, it peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100; No. 5 on the Australian #KentMusicReport Singles Chart; and top 10 in #Canada, #Ireland, and #Norway. The song was a departure from the group's style of #reggae-influenced pop rock, featuring a melancholic feel musically and lyrically.

Why follow a tabletop #baseball replay?
The 1947 Albino league #MLB (also known as real life) had less than 1% Black players; this has 13%.
#BLM #BlackHistory matters.
We geek out about #BlackLeagues and music we love.
#Trivia contest
APBA > real thing
This is #1947League!
