Yes, was in Redeye Records today and they have the Aussie release date as
Feb 11 - so only 38 more sleeps!!

Which also reminds me - on the way home this evening Triple J had a mini
segment playing tracks which featured unusual items as musical instruments
(eg: rattling train as percussion etc).

Anyway, someone rang in and swore that if you listen very closely (I think)
to the Midnight Oil Bird Noises EP, you can hear the band at the very
frontiers of early 80s musical experimentation, using a vibrator on one of
their tracks! Unfortunately, it was left to the listener to guess which one.
Now I have heard everything.

>>In the first sentence of the book "Capricornia", it is explained that
>>Capricornia is the name of an area in Australia. Is it a fictitious name?
>>Otherwise, why was it assumed that the new album is named after the book
>>and not after the region?
