Oooh #1 is The Whitlams tour tshirt from around… 2000. I have that exact one, except mine’s signed by Tim.
Next two are beyond me. Unless the middle one is university based.
! point for The Whitlams, a bonus if you name the album they were touring. The middle one is uni based. The third one is obscure, I grant you.
1. Denis Walter’s farewell tour 2008. From the album ’40 years of ballads sung by a real goose – that’s “style”.’
2. Your primary school band’s T-shirt. You played the triangle.
3. It’s from your ‘I love the Wiggles’ T-shirt, which you paid $49 for at their last Melbourne concert. You had front row seats.
So, do I win?
This is only part one Ray. No points yet I’m afraid. I’ll give a point to anyone who can figure out what the third shirt is paying homage to. It’s an 80′s movie.
Oh – the bottom one is in homage to Tron ? I don’t know how the fish comes into it.
And they were touring…. Jeez. A little tough that one. I first saw them as a support act, when they were touring Eternal Nightcap. That gig was a headline gig where I got the t-shirt, complete with a press of crazy girlfans, so… I’d say they were beginning to tour Love This City at that point, but relying a lot on the material from Eternal Nightcap
Yes and Yes.
100flowers surges to the lead on three points. Still up for grabs are points for the middle shirt and the fish in the Tron costume.
I’ll also give out points to anyone who can name the original title of the song “Love this city” and the Whitlams release on which it first appeared.
Stop giving “points”, Dave. Unless you offer $s I’m not playing.
Dave, unless you get some interesting questions going about Don McLean, I’m not playing either.
And the first to ask who the F**K is Don Mclean is dead meat.
OK, Dave, I make Hamburgers was the song title
Did you break the rules and use ‘teh google’ jr?
Because although that is relevant it’s not the song title.
How dare you suggest I cheat! Very disappointed in you. I wouldn’t stoop that low. So I got Mrs JR to google it. Don’t tell me that’s outside the rules too or we’ll have to stop you making up the rules as you go along.
Middle one is easy, 2UNE or TUNE radio. Extra info: 106.9FM
Two points for lemmiwinks, no points for jr, Mrs JR’s google-fu isn’t quite up to scratch.
Ray, the person with the most points at the end of the challenge gets a custom designed, one of a kind, Dave from Albury T-shirt as a prize. Surely you can see the value in that?
I guess this competition just wasn’t designed for baby-boomers like me. This is like a foreign language. I wish I’d kept my T-shirts from my younger days then you could have fun guessing just what the hell that crocodile logo meant.
Never fear Ray, I’m sure that there will be some you can identify in later rounds.
Speaking of which, round 2 will go live today at 1:00pm EST.
I’ll stay glued to the screen, Dave.
Love this City was also something to do with the theme for the Sydney Olympics, right?
I’ll give you that, it was originally titled “Sydney 2000 Olympic Theme”. One point.
The original “Love This City” was a B-Side to the “I Make Hamburgers” single, and was called “Sydney 2000″
One Point for the single ADM. Sorry jr, you needed detail.
Shirt 2 is specifically a 2UNE shirt – the title TUNE FM came later. The 2UNE shirt was from some time between 1998 and 2000, my guess is 1999.
Sorry Garry, you’re off the mark with your timeline. That shirt actually precedes the arrival of Miss Andrea, it’s a Lacey era artefact.
Lacey huh, 1997. She once held me up as proof not everyone at 2UNE took drugs.
You did listen to a lot of Mike Oldfield though, surely that’s slightly mind altering?
True, but not as mind altering as some of the stuff I bought later on. I do own a CD containing a 78 minute pipe organ drone…
Definitely 1997. I got one from said Lacey, in 1998. I had that Whitlams single in my hot little hand too, ready to give you all the b-side goodness, when I saw ADM got in first. D’oh.
