I always like it when a music video has shots on streets that I know and have walked down. In this case, Melbourne band Sleepazoid's video fits the bill. Great energy on this song.

Also, see a song from the singer's previous band that I posted on here a while ago.

Another festival bites the dust.

Kinda wish I could go to this, sounds fun.

In the 1990's there seemed to be a spate of Australian bands using the -bait suffix. An example is Nunbait from Sydney.

Hope everyone stays safe and cool. Remember: have a plan, leave early if you can. Catastrophic is not a recommendation. GTFO.

Anyways, anytime I start talking weather with someone, I can't help but have certain songs run through my head. The Heatwave Mix is an open zone for song recommendations that have at least one line that talk about weather/temperature. Please post the line and a link to the song.

I'll kick off the hotness with a line that always gets stuck in my head : I walk about in the summertime saying "How about this heat!".

Now, once we hear that, the next recommended song says I should get my funk on and "Keep my cool!"

Let's make a playlist for the hot summer nights, get together bbqs and parties. Aussie, international, old, new and down right daggy. Let's go....

Still can't believe we're at the end of the year already. I suppose summers here and votes in the world's largest music democracy must be cast!

OK, this is not actually from rage, but it is Ozmusic. I was going down a rabbit hole that took me eventually to the Choirboys, generally known as a classic 80s rock/pub band.

They had several bangers, including what was the unofficial Queenslanders anthem, at least in Surfers.

But what made me double take was how few views/listens.were on their official Choirboys channel.

Some personal faves:

• You're with the big boys now - Carrie. What a top song. And that's how you end a song!
• 'The smell of beer and perfume'. That may be the greatest pub band lyric ever.
• Talk big.Great to hum to the boss you don't like. "Tell me something I don't know!"
• Bullshit. Great to hum to the boss you don't like. "It's all just bullshit to me!"

Happy listening! Bust out that air guitar!
