I've been spinning that record since I bought it new in like 1981!!
That is a really good record.
I've always really, really liked the track, I Can See it in Your Eyes: Good writing.
I like 'em. One of my favorites to throw on and play along with on drums.
G'day all, yes I listened to that album on vinyl just the other day. Yes it's a fine album.
I've always been impressed by Colin Hay's songwriting. :yes: Regards, Felix aka catman.
No doubt! At the ripe age of twelve ('83) Men At Work was one of the first bands I started air drumming to when I decided I wanted to be a drummer. Didn't know you played, Ray. Right on!

Always liked Men At Work. Business As Usual is a great album, people forget they won a Grammy that year for best new artist thanks to Business As Usual. Always loved Down By The Sea and their later material was great too,...High Wire and Overkill were excellent tracks.
Yeah dude, I played a LOT in highschool before I discovered cars. I sold my drums senior year. My wife bought me these for a wedding gift. I was taking lessons and actually improving before I had to stop taking lessons when Liam was born. Sleeping baby puts a real damper on practice time.
I like them quite a bit, and wish I had more than just Business as Usual in my library.
Dude! That looks like Session Custom maple in Vintage Fade. I had that kit in 8-10-12-14-16-22. Extremely punchy for maple shells. The first kit I ever bought brand new. Ordered 'em before they even made it into the stores. They were just so nice I couldn't stand the idea of gigging with them so I sold 'em. I hear ya' about drums and babies....bad combo all the way around. Been there, done that. Twice!
You on MOG? Lots of Men At Work there including Cargo, which IMO is just as good as Business. Listening to "Upstairs In My House" right now....great tune. As is the one after it, "No Sign of Yesterday". These guys wrote some extremely good songs. Does anyone know if Colin did the majority of the writing?
I know what's playin on my rig tonight. And since the Vandersteens will be leaving to go to their new home tonight I need to figure out what I want to put in their place. I think Men At Work will sound pretty good with the Maggie -IIIa's. :yes:
