What are you using? Im using Ozone, Waves bundle and Sonnox stuff. My original wav's are like 40-50MB each, Id have to work out how to get it to you. But I would be interested. Its all too easy to make everything extreme so I ended up only doing mild limiting, some MB comp and a para EQ cut to remove some mud.

Hey cheers man will watch tonight, I've been getting into a lot of early 70's acid rock lately...stuff like cactus, budgie, blue cheer etc... There's some good overlooked stuff in that era

The V-drums don't trigger properly either. Not very consistent. But we did 38 songs in one afternoon and I overdubbed guitars and vocals later. Would have cost a fortune at a studio. Ive got no idea when it comes to mastering, I just whacked a limiter on. Haven't heard of Witchcraft - I'll check em out - but my amp is made in Sweden! Cheers guys thanks for the listen

Yucatan Surf and Turf This a custom recipe I made up last weekend with exotic jungle flavors. I haven’t noted quantities of ingredients really and I’m just describing it as I remember cooking so it may be a bit long winded. Its not a quick dish but easier than it sounds. What you’ll need: Olive or favourite oil Salt and pepper (preferably ground rock/sea salt and pepper) Fresh Lime’s (small thai style ones the best) Garlic Spanish Onion Green, yellow or red peppers Baby tomatoes Yellow zucchini Sour cream Fresh full cream Brown sugar Fresh Basil Fresh cilantro (coriander) Fresh parsley Chives Hot Chilli sauce (I use Mad Anthony's hot sauce) Pork cutlets (thick as you can find) Fresh King Prawns Marinade sauces for meat (I use a smokey grilling marinade for the pork and a honey chilli sauce for the prawns) Fresh Banana’s Coconut cream Coconut shavings Organic dark food colouring (optional) Dark rum Rice (or cous cous, mashed potato) There are 4 parts to the dish: The meats, the vegetable sauce, the banana coconut salsa and rice. If you're vegetarian you can substitue meats for sweet potatoes or legumes and you can use fish or other meats instead of pork. Start with the pork cutlets. Turn on oven to medium high heat. Add smokey flavored marinade sauce to pork cutlets and seal the pan with a little olive oil and salt covering the pan on medium heat. If you don’t have any marinade use a little of your favourite bbq sauce. Grill and seal the pork cutlets both sides until a nice light brown colour. You only need to seal it for a minute or so each side. Add a touch of seasoning and place cutlets in an oven tray with a shallow layer of olive oil. You don’t want the cutlets on too high, just enough to slowly roast them while your cooking everything else. Every so often open the oven and spoon some of the seasoned oil back over the pork. This will keep it moist and tasty. Now onto the sauce. After cleaning the frying pan, seal pan again with oil and pinch of salt and add chopped garlic and onions. When slightly brown add peppers (capsicum) and keep stirring like a stir fry to keep it all moving. Add tomatoes and zuchini when peppers soften along with a dash of chili sauce, freshly squeezed lime juice, cilantro, basil, chives and seasoning (salt and pepper). Just put a little herbs in at this moment. Add a splash of water if it gets dry and avoid burning. Add a little splash of red wine if you have some. Add in some sour and fresh cream, a tea spoon of brown sugar and more lime juice simmering until like a pasta sauce. Add a bit more cilantro and basil but don’t overdo it. Because this sauce is similar in colour to the banana salsa you may wish to add organic dark red food colouring or more tomato’s and tomato paste to darken it up and add colour contrast to the salsa. It’s just a presentation thing. Or add salad to the final dish for presentation colours. When ready pour it into a blender to produce a rich smooth sauce. You can add anything to this sauce really, but keep it full of goodness and tangy taste. You want to get a nice blend between the salts, sugars, vegetable flavours, chilli and lime and the creams help bind it all together. I try not to use much salt, just a pinch hear and there while Im going and let the other foods anchor down the flavour. Use plenty of lime juice - it's awesome to cook with. Put blended sauce to side. Next up is the banana coconut salsa, similar to what you might find in a thai or Indian restaurant. Chop fresh banana’s and quickly sear in pan with a small splash of dark Jamaican rum and pinch of brown sugar. Add a squeeze of lime in there again if you want. Add coconut milk or cream and coconut shavings and simmer quickly. You don’t want to cook the bananas soft just enough to heat them. This salsa should be thick and chunky in contrast to the vegetable puree sauce. Put this salsa aside. By this time you should have some rice going or a rice cooker finishing up. Time it to have the rice ready as you finish the prawns. You could also used mashed potatoes as a base but rice is better as it has texture to contrast the sauces. Keep checking on the pork cutlets and remember to drizzle some oil from the bottom of the oven dish back over the cutlets. Peel and marinade the prawns using a honey chilli glaze. You can use a simple marinade of garlic and chili sauce if you want. Now’s when it all gets busy getting ready to serve. The pork should be done. Turn off oven but leave pork inside. Quickly zap or reheat vegetable sauce and salsa if needed and start serving the rice out onto a plate in a neat oval shaped mound. Quickly sear the prawns adding more chili glaze and seasoning if needed. Another squeeze of lime juice while cooking won’t hurt. Place pork cutlets and prawns over rice and drizzle over the top the tangy blended vegetable sauce. Banana salsa (or salad) and half a lime to the side and sprinkle coconut shavings over salsa. Add a touch of seasoning if needed, fresh chopped parsley and a few fresh chopped chives for presentation. Serve on large white plate with glass of wine and you can also add cornbread, tortilla or pita bread to side. A Peruvian flan would make a nice dessert for this dish. Wake n Bake Sunday Breakfast Sandwich What you will need: Turkish pide bread Off the bone deli ham Cheese: either tasty, cheddar, jack, coon etc (I use sharp cheddar) Eggs Baby spinach Tomato sauce Seasoning Cook egg sunny side up on medium heat in light oil, butter or non stick egg maker. Ensure yolk in middle does not harden. Place to side. Keep pan heated and throw on ham to warm up. Place Turkish pide in toaster or oven but dont toast too long or it will be brittle and dry. Put slice of cheese on top of ham as it grills to soften. Butter Turkish bread toast and add layer of baby spinach. Then scoop up ham and cheese from grill and place over baby spinach layer. Add a couple of squirts of tomato sauce (or mayo, BBQ, honey mustard, hollandaise etc) then put sunny side egg on top with a quick twist of seasoning (salt n pepper). Place top bread on carefully as it will break egg sending an explosion of yolk through sandwich. Enjoy, sit in sun, have bong and compliment with expresso or OJ.

The other thing I find humouress is when Obama says they didn't want to bury OBL because they thought his grave would become a shrine to extremists - if that was the case and they want to capture extremists, wouldn't that be an awesome lure/trap? They could sit there and interogate anyone would visited!

Tumbleweed were awesome - saw them many a time during the uni days. Still have theatre of gnomes and the spiral bound weedseed EP with its R.Crumb inspired cartoons. Heavily influenced by Blue Cheer also. Ive got weedseed and theatre of gnomes on CD and can rip em for you if you like. Mosrite guitars, Marshall plexi's, big muff fuzz pedals, converse all stars, paisley shirts and velvet jackets = way cool. Shakedowns on the way....

No one wants nuclear holocaust - not even the scumbags in the US military. Any future Asian pacific war will be played out a different way.

Here ya go mate...although it's in Canberra.

That's right killing is big business. It has nothing to do with freedom or safety and everything to do with profit. We could be living in a resource based highly technological society but we are unfortunately enslaved into a monetary society of deceit and debit. It's unsustainable in the long run - I'm hopeful things will change but we'll have to endure 'more of the same' for a long time to come...unless a big comet hits the earth soon or yellowstone erupts...

I was picking at botanic gardens Canberra once, trying to be discrete pretending I was admiring plants but my eyes were like an eagle - some workers there (gardeners) called out to me 'that area has been picked dry - go further down the slope that way'. Awesome, I wasn't discrete after that!

As zeitgeist called out: 'the real terrorists of this world wear $5000 suits'

The media creates separation between people encouraging critique of each other, inequality and fear. They profit off it. Turn off the news and love your fellow people - were all one and the same deep down and amazing people are doing amazing things all the time. Don't let the media convince you otherwise.

Bin laden is irrelevant - switch off the news and do some gardening!

War on shit.

Can any women here explain time? Can they do it?

Morning of the earth

Range Rovers - you're looking at classic or P38's in your price range. P38's are all 4-4.6 V8's in australia, are underpowered for what they are and drink like a fish. The P38's are notoriously unreliable and problematic, especially in regards to the electronics and air suspension. 1999 onwards have the better Bosch kits and the air suspension can be swapped out for coils...but you're still left with high maintenance and parts costs. Classic RR's are starting to get old but are cheap and easy to modify with parts etc. Look at 1991 range rovers where they have the bigger 3.8 V8 but still have the coils and simpler electronics. Great cars but more for enthusiasts but you could try get a mint 1991 for around $7k, spend another $3k on mods or gas conversion and keep $5k for repair bills ;) Landcrusiers even in desiel will chew some fuel and are big cars. You have to honestly ask how much time you'll actually be offroading versus road driving. I love Cruisers more than Patrols for some reason. There are plenty around and in your price bracket you can find a bargain if you look carefully and plenty have already been converted to gas. Dont be completely put off if its done offroading. If its been well looked after you can score some great (and costly) aftermarket gear like suspension, tyres, roof racks, fridges etc. Look for old guys that used them for touring but added lots of aftermarket gear. Some of the old F60's are pretty funky but getting on in age and luxury + they have clunky leaf suspension: funky brown 60 series. A later 80's model better cheapcruiser. But with so many great 80 series out there...this is what you can get for $15k! bad ass cruiser Dont forget the Prado's - nicer more compact interiors than the bigger cruisers but still capable offroad and nice to drive around town. The 3.4 litre will still drink though. white prado A newer 3.0l deisel Patrol would be great but perhaps pushing your budget? Also slightly mundane cars but big, tough and extremely capable offroad. Again it comes down to how much offraod tough stuff you want to be doing or if your looking for a tourer. Try comparing fuel consumption for the V8 version on gas versus the deisel. The V8's go quite cheaply these days. Pajero's might not have the spunk of the others but are great cars to drive around town and on the highway and are almost as good as the Patrols and Cruisers offroad. Nice interiors and handling. A good set of wheels and tyres can transform a Paj into a mean machine. Look for the older 2.8 desiel for fuel efficiency. Newer ones might be out of the price range but the 3.8 V6 are better and more robust than the older 3.5 V6. Totally underated cars. cheap Paj Hilux's/Surf's are a little cramped, stiff and bland but good workhorses. Troopies total old school but you can find some camper converted ones that are neat for trips. Big long cars though, not easy to turn around on tight tracks. Troopy camper Jeeps can be ok but need some customization, particularly suspension. They're small. Whatever you buy get some good tyres on it as that's the easiest way to improve performance offroad.

'dressed like hippies' Lol Nothing has changed since the 60's

Funny as I read that I'm listening to Keith Richards autobiography 'life' audio book read by Depp! Classic stuff.

Miley Cyrus?
