Re: rage - Stories On The Red Couch with kate Ceberano

Wow Nathan, you must have been going crazy with the pause button! I also hear ya about Jimmy Barnes and Flame Trees...WTF? and Tina Arena. I didn't mind Missy Higgins faffing on since her start in the industry was Triple J and rage. I can't believe they didn't talk about the rage Top 50, vault segments and of course Countdown.

These shows are mostly to show how cool and 'alternative' rage is, y'know?

The top 50 and Countdown repeats simply don't exist!

Re: rage - Stories On The Red Couch with kate Ceberano

I found it interesting that Countdown January's were not mentioned in the rage 30 special, like seriously! ... It's only THE most popular time of every year on rage!!!! ... Yet Recovery gets mentioned? ... The mention of Countdown and how it got axed for rage was mentioned in the beginning of the special, but then didn't get mentioned on how rage have played Countdown since 1993 to the present. Quite silly really ...


All that Magic Dirt, Missy Higgins crap was useless ... And Tina Arena, arghhhhhh .... She really does talk a lot of crap. And her Adult Contemporary rubbish is so bland, give me The Machines Breaking Down, Turn Up The Beat and I need Your Body, her only decent material. As for Jimmy Barnes, yawwwwwwn ...


The saving grace was the list of the first rage episode, the news segment and TV guide from ABC and the red book. The special started off very interesting then just fell FLAT!

Your pausing Nathan is very impressive, thanks for the stills. I was p[leased to see some lists in the special and wanted to pause for the first episode of rage but didn't notice what is coming up later this year, so thanks for that! .... A VAULT Special in September, YAY!!!!! ... Glad Recovery gets specials later in the year, so the 90s grunge rubbish can be played which mean 80s Countdown heaven in January without that Recovery S H I T * * *


Hopefully the Kate Ceberano hosted Red Couch special tonight will be a tad more interesting. Glad they got Kate and not some 90s grunge person

I agree with you that the documentary started off good and then fell flat. I knew they'd hype all of the Australian 'alternative' acts.

Your post reminds me - I need to take a screen-shot of that schedule for the year to see if I can work out any of the others. There was another Splendour in the Grass special listed too, but who cares about that.

Yes, Tina Arena does talk crap. You will be pleased to know that with her new best of she has finally acknowledged her earlier tracks and it has I Need Your Body, The Machine's Breaking Down and Strong as Steel. I missed tonights special hosted by Kate, but will catch up on a repeat or iview. Love Kate, she's still cool all these years.

Someone on a pop forum I frequent is friends with Pina's current manager (or record company person). He says that he practically had to beg her to perform 'I Need Your Body' on her recent-ish tour... but at least she relented.
