Lately my musical infatuations have been aroused by bands that are touring Australia, for example, it was Blondie in August, then there was a brief period of Boz Scaggs and The White Stripes in September… but right now it's all about that cocky little bastard, Prince.
I know some of youse (Jimbo Laney) like a little early Prince, so's I thought I'd wack up two of my favourites. Controversy is on high rotation at The Kilbot Factory, but if you've got the bandwidth and time I recommend you check out the Raspberry Beret filmclip (43.4Mb). Raspberry Beret would have to be one of the all time greatest flimclips from the 1980's; Prince's blue and white cloud suit, synchronized dance moves, and that cheesy 80's animation. Great stuff.

sorry to dob you in there Jimbo
KL says:
when beck programmed rage he played a few killer (pun?) trax, including "controversy", gary numan's "down in the park" and kraftwerk's "pocket calculator". a top trio of tunes for sure
killer says:
gary numan is great… i've often thought of myself as a modern-day gary numan. no reason in particular, just daydreams.
killer says:
ps, sorry to jump in on top of you there kl… we musta been typing a new post at about the same time :weirdo:
KL says:
no worries kilbot, it is your site after all! yeah, I am on a huge numan trip at the moment… the guy was a pioneer, even if he was a bowie clone at times ^_^
killer says:
i've got gary numan's [i]cars[/i] as my mobile ringtone… those with wap can pick it up by directing your mobile phone to http://www.kilbot.net/wap/
there is also some other goodies there such as a freo dockers wallpaper, i'll add a freo ringtone sometime soon

Not at all, mate. 'The midget dipped in a bucket of pubic hair', as Boy George once described him, is an effing genius.
killer says:
speaking of Rage, i was watching it on Sunday morn and a song sorta got stuck in my head… i tracked it down, and it turns out to be Little Birdy (shit name) from sunny ol' Perth.
fancy dave says:
Little Birdy are Phil Stevens' latest protege band. He also manages John Butler and the Waifs, so expect to hear more. The singer is the sister of Luke who sings for the Sleepy Jackson, and her boyfriend has another promising band going with Vanessa from Jebediah. Incestuous?
