I Must Say, It's a Little Unsettling to Be So Obviously a Member of the Demographic This Video is Aimed At

Guitarist/vocalist Peter Black, a/k/a Blackie of veteran Aussie band The Hard-Ons, just dropped a new song. And my life has been changed in mysterious ways as a result.

I was unfamiliar with Black until I saw the above, which is from A Bowl of Spiders, one of two new albums he has coming out momentarily. In any case, I am reliably informed that the Hard-Ons (who've been around since 1982) are quite a big deal in their native Australia, as is Black, i.e. he hangs out with and is highly regarded by the likes of the Hoodoo Gurus, Redd Kross and Nick Cave.

In any case, man -- does that video ever talk to me. I mean, I really know the feeling.

And I suspect a fair number of the people reading this here blog know it too. 😎
