I hate Noosa Heads and Surfing*
Today, this image came up on my facebook news feed, and it made me smile. Of course, images on facebook news feeds rarely come with any real contextual information, so I trawled around the net a bit and found some more information... This is an album cover for the ' Warumpi Band ', from the settlement of Papunya in Australia's Northern Territory**. It seems that this image was the cover for an EP of their song 'Jailanguru Pakarnu (Out of Jail)', which was the first ever rock song recorded in an indigenous language. It's a pretty jumping song. It's worth noting that on the Warumpi Band's wikipedia entry , the list of their musical genres includes 'anachro-rock'. *On a personal level, this is absolutely not true. I love Noosa Heads. And surfing! **Update: I had read that the man wearing the t-shirt is singer of the Warumpi Bane, George Burarrawanga. As Dave commented below however, it isn't George. Thanks for your comment, Dave!
Ha!

Nice one :-)
They should submit this for a segment on the Martha Stewart show!!!
ReplyDeleteI mean, look at the amazing things Martha has shown us how to cover

You're right Kate, SO many things to cover!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, but are they a little 'rustic' for Martha's liking?
Martha would just use bespoke vintage material (probably in 4th of July themed colours) and detail with ornate tassles and monogramming.
ReplyDeleteOf course Martha's would be better than the originals, but what else is the point of having them on the show, then to show them up.
