Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special



May I add, annoying that rage played the Elton John MELDRUM TAPES yet they have ignored the Bananarama request I have made for how mannnny years. Obviously Elton John has more cred than Bananarama, in their eyes ...[/quote]

I have all the Meldrum Tapes on DVD that i recorded when they were shown on VH1 about 10 years ago. They have the original interviews, but for some reason when the some of videos were played they were post '86 videos. Jason, i assume you would already have these?

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Michael
Why don't they put Monday night playlists up on the website? I know they post on facebook, but if they put all the other nights playlists up on the website, why not Monday's?



I get the impression rage have been on 'skeletal staff' since around the time the election was announced, and still appear to be. They never comment on Facebook posts anymore, for example.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Guru Bob
Are they replacing this segment with women's soccer repeats now or am I reading the TV guide wrong?


I really hope not.

Who wants to watch (women's or men's) soccer at that hour?

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Looking at next weeks' programming they are only showing the women's soccer on the Tues/Wed night - which is a repeat of their regular Sunday afternoon program.

It looks like they will only replay the Saturday afternoon soccer on the Mon/Tues night and next week there is no game broadcast in that slot so it should be back to normal vault segment.

Checking the soccer broadcast fixture it appears that the Saturday game shown last week was a one off to launch the season (although it was actually round 2 apparently). The W League season runs for 14 weeks plus 3 weeks of finals but in round 10 (Jan 1&2) there will be no broadcast game.

So it looks like we will be back to normal after tonight.

I started reading the playlist from the bottom up when I first saw it, and wasn't too thrilled, but yes there is some rare stuff shown earlier on.

I wish they'd shown 'Left of Center' instead of 'Luka', though, as I don't have a watermark-free digital copy of that.

Hi Jason,

If you are interested I have Voyeur from a Laser Disc. It is a great video and nice and clean if you are interested?

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Thank You Nathan for uploading the rage Playlist every Monday night. I have left Facebook as I loathe Social media and don't plan to return till November when I submit Countdown requests.

Would appreciate it if you continue pasting the Playlists for Monday nights

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Jason 'The Moderator"

Sure, I plan to continue.

Next week's Tuesday morning episode is only about an hour long. No doubt they'll pick a really good theme, then

It's starting later than normal because of that W league (whatever that is) that has been airing normally on Wednesday mornings. Typical Australia - sport trumps everything else

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Interesting, only 1 hour long. Perfect to play the Countdown episode from 11/04/1982 in that hour. But according to them, they don't have time in their upcoming programming. Fools

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Michael, I did record some of The Meldrum Tapes from VH! when they were played on Foxtel in 2007/2008.

I remember Bananarama/Pseudo Echo was advertised but when i went to record it, I don'
t think it got played.

Do you have the Bananarama and Pseudo Echo Meldrum Tapes from VH1?

If you do have the Bananarama Meldrum Tapes in particular, I would DIE for a copy!!!!!!!! Please???

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

VH1 butchered the meldrum tapes

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Sorry Jason, just checked out my Meldrum Tapes on disc and i don't have Bananarama or Pseudo Echo either. Now when i think of it, i do remember VH1 not playing those. You might have to take up Nathan's YouTube upload!

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

That's okay Michael,

I didn't think VH1 played THE MELDRUM TAPES on Bananarama and Pseudo Echo as they were the ones I wanted most.

A guy contacted me from reading my post here on my Forum about the Bananarama 'Meldrum Tapes' and has put an original VHS copy onto DVD for me!

YAAAAAY!

It's hard to discern much of a theme there, but as it's all eighties there's a lot I like there, including some rareties. It's a bit of a bland playlist if watched all at once, but there are some great elements, such as T'Pau, the Pointer Sisters, Nona Hendryx, and what surely must be rare videos by Nu Shooz, Jill Jones and Regina Belle. I would say it's a smooth soul/r&b playlist, but then what the hell are UB40, Style Council or T'Pau doing there?

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

How FABULOUS!!!!!

The Nu Shooz video for If I Say yes is RARE and Nona Hendryx with Why SHould i Cry * WOW * A FAV!

The System is also a GEM

I would go with what your TV guide says over what rage post. Last week the show started earlier than the time rage states on the facebook post. It had the correct earlier time on the electronic TV guide from memory.

yourtv.com.au have rage airing from 1:31am to 3:30am.

edit - they have since corrected the time on the facebook post:

from 1:31 am on ABC TV. Playlist below.

*Edit: This post originally listed 3:19 am as the starting time*

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Okay, as I checked my IQ guide and my DVD Recorder guide and they say 1:30 am.

rage can't even get times right, what are they doing ...

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

I always miss the good specials. Oh well, at least the gems they dragged out of the vault will now at least get another play sometime soon. Wish they played this sort of stuff Saturday mornings in January.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Long time reader - first time posting. I'm keen to contribute to all things Countdown, Rage, 80s, 70s and classic. Is it me, or has the Vault Monday night specials been a bit hopeless lately? 90s doesn't fall into the 'vault' section, for me.

I think this morning's episode happened because there were some people asking on the facebook page last week where the B*Witched/East 17/Atomic Kitten etc. special was, as they recently toured here on a joint tour.

Even though it's 17+ years ago, late 90s/early 00s doesn't seem very 'retro' to me either... but I guess it is now.

I don't think the current rage programmers know much about 90s dance music though, as the 90s dance playlists they had last year were predominantly late 90s stuff, which isn't as good as early and mid 90s dance was, to me.

I thought last week's Vault episode though was the best one in a while. This year though, generally, they haven't been that good though so far.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Last weeks VAULT special with the 80s Soul/Funk material from Nu Shooz, The System, Pointer Sisters, Nona Hendryx e.t.c... has been the best thing since 'Retro Month' in January finished.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Hi Nathan, sorry about the late reply. I did see your message in my inbox also. I would very much like the playlist from 13 Feb, but mainly the rare vids - ie Regina Belle, Nu Shooz, The one or two from the Pointer Sisters, the rare Robert Palmer one, rare Sade one, Celebrate The World. If it is easier to do, just burn the whole lot. Also did you record the one on Tuesday? I'm a tragic for late 90's/early 2000's pop. Mainly because this was when I started watching Top Of The Pops on UKTV on Foxtel. Got to discover all the UK hits before they became hits here and then started buying all those 'Now That's What I Call Music...' double CD's. Those were the days!

I now back up my discs as individual video files on external hard drives, so can make a disc with only the clips you want just as easily as copying a whole disc. I kept a few things from last week. Probably best I email you a list.

rage hasn't played Lonesome Day for 15 years, so that's something.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

They also played the ultra-rare clip for "The Rising" just before The Wrestler, and this wasn't listed in the playlist. There are some people who reckon Bruce never made an official clip for The Rising and hence the provenance of this clip is unknown.

The one and only previous airing of this clip was on rage on 20 Dec 2003, some 18 months after the song was released, which adds to the mystery. The doubters argue that if it was an official clip, why was it not released with the song, or very soon after?

The clip looks official - it's certainly professionally made - but who made it and whether it is officially sanctioned is a bit of a mystery.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Has anybody who were the fans of Bardot? Bardot is an Australian girl band and pop group from the early 2000s.
For more information, try Wikipedia.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

At Nathan,

Ughhhhh ... Bruce Springsteen. I did not record the special.

As Boy George once said 'I'd be dancing in the dark as well, if I looked like that'

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Funny comment. I am enjoying watching Boy George on Arnie's Celebrity Apprentice and will be interesting to see him as a judge on this years The Voice Australia.

I like Bruce Springsteen. Like all his singles, but never got into his albums - except for 'Born In The USA'. I bought his video compilations DVD about 5 years ago, so passed on this special. I know there were one or two tracks rage showed that were not on the DVD, but wasn't too phased. I used to hate 'Human Touch' the single released in mid '92, but absolutely love it now turned up nice and loud. Actually a lot of songs from the 90's that I hated in the day, I have grown to love and have appreciation for.

I think as new music gets worse and worse, old music you weren't so fond of initially starts sounding better and better.

The coming week's Tuesday morning episode is 3 hours long, so hopefully it will be something good.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

GOOD GRIEF!

How to waste a Vault special.

I try not to be cynical, but it seems like they are gravitating back to a triple-J type playlist, with only a token nod to the more fun kind of retro.

I think that artist specials should be confined to Saturday nights, and are a waste of the Vault format.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Brad
I think that artist specials should be confined to Saturday nights, and are a waste of the Vault format.

I disagree. I think artist specials are perfect for the Vault format PROVIDED they are a "Vault" artist, i.e. long disbanded / no longer making music, and especially if they are unlikely to ever get a special of their own in the Saturday programme, e.g. have less than 10 videos total or not particularly well known. This is the perfect place to put them.

We've had Tue morning Vault for well over 1 year now, well over 60 Vault shows, and only 4 or 5 artist specials in that time. A lot of the "theme" Vault shows were a bit try-hard or showed clips that got aired fairly often. We had a run of hip-hop/rap/soul Vaults mid last year that got annoying.

We've also had a handful of spectacular Vault shows with great rare clips! Those nuggets are really worth waiting for.

Beastie Boys... well I'll give this one a miss but I'm sure there will be some people out there who are overjoyed at this. They can have their time in the sun as long as they give me mine when a Vault show that I love (but they hate) comes around.

As always, each to their own.

Totally agree with you. It'd be different if they had specials on artists they don't normally/rarely play, but no, we get Beastie Boys, and Nirvana the weekend before last on Saturday morning What next, a Nick Cave Vault episode?

But I do prefer mixed artists with a theme (or no theme), generally.

Re: Every Monday night (Tuesday morning) on ABC1 now a Vault special

Beastie Boys, ughhhh. How typically 90s triple J ...


For such VAULT Specials, if they are going to do artists and bands do non typical bands and artists, I mean really. There are MILLIONS to chose from!!!!!!!!

There was some OK stuff in the playlist, but the point was that they love any excuse to have an 'alternative' playlist.

It's now legal to timeshift a broadcasted program once, I believe. I remember reading something about a change in the Copyright Act a few years ago. But yes, like we haven't been doing this all along

I think rage post that there since many people in the past have complained that a Monday night Vault episode they want to see is 'on a school night', and/or the starting time is way too late. Not that it helps - most of these people don't seem to own recorders.

That's a good guess, though I don't know how Joan Jett & The Blackhearts fits in.

If that is the theme, then they seem to think that is the Dave Stewart from Eurythmics (it's a different one).

There's a few rare videos I wanted, so no complaints from me, other than they could have thrown a few more females in.

Joan Jett was in the Runaways, but yes, it doesn't quite fit with 'The Blackhearts' also being part of her 'solo' act.

They also aired some videos by that Dave Stewart after the Eurythmics one guest programmed in 2012. How funny.

Someone else noted the lack of female artists on the facebook page; it's only 4 with female singers out of 36, they said. Typical rage.

Holy f@#k, 'Rush Hour' by Jane Wiedlin. Criminal that it wasn't a Top 10 hit here like in the US. I remember seeing the video the first time and last time on The Factory back in the day.
