The Oils have arrived at an exciting new stage in their recording career that Darren dubs “80s Oils.” Robin extols the magnificence of bass chorus and Darren points out each track that employs their drum-assist technique. In addition the Couch-Sitters talk about the Oils time in England; recording with Glyn Johns, opening for The Who, and bailing hay. The couch-sitters spin 1981's Place Without A Postcard album. https://darrenfoulds.com./podcasts/cpotc/ep04-CPOTC-PostcardC.mp3 0:57:27 Thu, 20 Apr 2017 20:30:00 EST darren@darrenfoulds.com (Darren Foulds)noDarren FouldsMidnight,Oil,Oils,Canada,Australia,Great,Circle,Great,Circle,Tour,Music,Review,Music,Review 3 https://darrenfoulds.com/podcasts/index.html#cpotc-ep-03 Join Darren and Robin on the couch as they spin Midnight Oil's Bird Noises from 1980.
