I hadn't bought a single new pair of overalls in at least four years until last week, when I saw this painter's pair by Carhartt on eBay. This is my very first pair of Carhartt overalls, and my first pair of painter's overalls. I'm surprised at how thin the fabric is -- these aren't heavy like my usual blue denim!
Painters and Dockers are a rock band formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1982.
Paul Stewart, singer-songwriter and trumpet player,Dave Pace (vocals and trumpet) and Mick Morris (vocals and sax) are all original members in the band which was named for the Federated Ship Painters and Dockers Union when they performed an early gig at a pub rock venue in Port Melbourne frequented by the union's members.[1] Some members of the band went on to form the Dili Allstars.
Their best-performing album Kiss My Art, peaked in the top 30 of the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) albums charts in 1988.[3] The album included two top 50 singles, "Nude School" and "Die Yuppie Die". In 2009, the band was inducted into the Music Victoria Hall of Fame.[6]
1982−1987: Beginnings, Love Planet and Bucket
Painters and Dockers formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1982 with five members, Vladimir Juric on guitars and backing vocals, Andy Marron on drums, Phil Nelson on bass guitar, Chris O'Connor on guitars and backing vocals, and mainstay Paul Stewart on lead vocals and trumpet.[1] One of the earliest gigs for the unnamed group was at a pub rock venue in Port Melbourne frequented by members of the Federated Ship Painters and Dockers Union so they chose Painters and Dockers for the event and retained the name thereafter.[1][7] In their earlier years, they were the headline act at the Port Melbourne Community Festival, and in a government initiative called Rockin' the Rails, where they played songs from the back of a train, as it stopped at various Melbourne stations, including Ringwood, Camberwell and Flinders Street.
Painters and Dockers' first recording, "Mohawk Baby", was released on independent label, Au Go Go records' compilation album, Asleep at the Wheel early in 1984.[1] Soon after, Marron was replaced by Colin Buckler on drums, and they released their debut album, Love Planet, which was produced by veteran hard rocker, Lobby Loyde and released on Big Time Records in 1984 and contained the tracks, "Basia!", also released as a single in March 1985, and "The Boy Who Lost His Jocks on Flinders Street Station". Joining after the album's release were Mick Morris on tenor saxophone and Dave Pace on trumpet / backing vocals, and with Stewart the horn section was called the Brassholes.[1] Music historian, Ian McFarlane, describes their sound as "adding an earthy R&B edge to the band's raucous, punk-infused power pop".[1]
A four-track EP, Kill Kill Kill was released in 1985 containing cover versions of "Kill Kill Kill" originally by The Sacred Cows on "The Groovy Guru" episode of US comedy TV series, Get Smart; Australian group Supernaut's "I Like it Both Ways"; The Ramones' "Do You Remember Rock'n'Roll Radio?" and The Saints' "Know Your Product".[1] Their first single, "Basia!", released in March 1985 on Big Time Records, was a paean to Basia Bonkowski—lyrics include "B she's so beautiful, A articulate too, S sensual, I international, Ay Ay" and "She's sitting there with her multi-coloured hair / She's sitting there with that multi-cultured stare"—who was presenter of SBS' music television show, Rock Around the World from 1982 to late 1984.
A live album, Bucket, released in October 1986 on the band's own label Dock Records (distributed by Shock Records) and Big Time Records, featured one of their live pub rock performances.
1988–1997: Kiss My Art, Touch One, Touch All and The Things that Matter
The band's second studio album, Kiss My Art, was released in August 1988 on White Label Records (a subsidiary of Mushroom Records) and peaked at No. 23 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) albums charts in September 1988.[3] The album spawned four singles, "Nude School", "Die Yuppie Die", "Love on Your Breath" and "Safe Sex", and the first two achieved top 50 chart success.[4][5] and were accompanied with video clips directed by ex Hunters & Collectors Geoff Crosby.[9] The album was again produced by Lobby Loyde,[2] except for "Nude School" which was produced by Francois Taviaux aka Franswah.
Their third studio album, Touch One, Touch All, was released in December 1989 spawning the related singles, "Dirty Filthy Rock'n'Roll" in November, and "Eat Shit Die" in May 1990.[1] Neither album nor singles peaked into the top 50.[5] Morris left in 1989 and Darren Garth had replaced Juric on guitar by early 1990; the band undertook a Canadian tour promoting the album.
In December 1991 they released the mini-album, Hickory Dickory Dock with its track "Merry Christmas, Carol" and the single, "New World Order".[1] Nervous '90s appeared in June 1992 and contained six studio tracks and three live tracks recorded with the Salvation Army Brass Band.[1] During 1992 they became involved in Performers Releasing Information about Clean Syringes (PRICS), which included running workshops and gigs on safe sex and drug use.[1] In 1993, Garth left and Colin Badger joined on guitar and backing vocals, Painters and Dockers undertook the Australia-wide Return to the Love Planet tour and released a pro gay single, "I Know Better Queens than That".[1] The EP, Hickory Dickory Dock, and the album The Things that Matter were released in 1994.
1998–present: The Things that Matter
A mini-album, Advance Australia Where?, was released in August 1998 with the single "You're Going Home in the Back of a Divi Van".[1] By that stage, original members, Nelson and O'Connor had left, mainstay Stewart now with Badger and Buckler were joined by Paul Calvert on bass guitar, Sonja Parkinson on trombone and backing vocals, and Jenny Pineapple on saxophone and backing vocals.[1] This line-up appeared at Mushroom 25 Live concert in November to celebrate the record label's anniversary, their track "Divi Van" appeared on the related VHS release, Mushroom 25 Live: The Concert of the Century.[1]
In 2009 Stewart featured on the ABC Compass religious program following a liver transplant with the episode featuring Painters And Dockers songs Nude School and Die Yuppie Die. Stewart is actively involved in fundraising for the Alma Nuns, a Timorese-based Catholic order who care for disabled children and orphans.[
On 20 November 2009, early members, Paul Stewart, Chris O'Connor, Colin Buckler, Vladimir Juric, David Pace and Mick Morris, with Michael Badger (not an original member) reformed for a one-off show at the Prince Bandroom in St Kilda, Melbourne, where the band was inducted into Music Victoria's Hall of Fame.
In 2017, Painters and Dockers undertook their 30th Anniversary, Kiss My Art tour.
This Red Bird Studios resident/painter brought in his early 90s aluminium Cannondale (with a built-in seat-post pump) to the shop:
N: "My chain skips in some of the gears..."
[It turns out the chain was worn way beyond replacement, according to the chain checker. We replaced the chain, and Nathan left a seemingly happy camper.]
Five minutes later:
N: -"Now the chain skips in ALL the gears!"
[Upon closer inspection, the middle chainring was shark-finned as fuck. We pulled the crank and replaced it with a similar, albeit Biopace, ring. GREAT SUCCESS!]
Moral of the story: replace your chains before they wear out your chainrings, people!
This chap was one of many artists drawing and painting the beautiful sights at the Weald and Downland Museum yesterday.
From a visit to the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum near Chichester in Sussex... well worth a visit :-)
Floyd can't wait to finish up painting this side of the wall because buried deep in the ice chest is a six pack of cold brewskis.....The problem is Floyd does not have the best track record when it comes to finishing a task....less of course your talking about knocking off a six pack of cold ones.
Luckily I had my clothes on ... I looked out the window and noticed the painter, on a ladder outside our balcony, painting our block! Somehow you don't expect passers-by on an upstairs floor ...
1807, Friedland
ca. 1861-1875
Ernest Meissonier (French, Lyons 1815–1891 Paris)
Oil on canvas
Meissonier, largely self-taught, established his reputation in the 1840s as a painter of small-scale genre scenes rendered in meticulous detail. An 1864 history painting, "1814, the Campaign of France" (Musée d'Orsay, Paris), signaled the artist's new interest in epic Napoleonic subjects. Countering that image of Napoleon in defeat, "1807, Friedland," Meissonier's largest and most ambitious painting, evokes one of the emperor's greatest victories. These two paintings were the only realized works in a projected cycle of five episodes in the life of Napoleon.
"1807, Friedland" gained notoriety in 1876 when the American department store magnate Alexander T. Stewart (1803–1876) purchased it from the artist, sight unseen, for an astronomical sum. Judge Henry Hilton acquired the work at Stewart's estate sale and in 1887 bequeathed it to the Metropolitan Museum.
Gift of Henry Hilton, 1887

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection contains more than two million works of art from around the world. It opened its doors on February 20, 1872, housed in a building located at 681 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Under their guidance of John Taylor Johnston and George Palmer Putnam, the Met's holdings, initially consisting of a Roman stone sarcophagus and 174 mostly European paintings, quickly outgrew the available space. In 1873, occasioned by the Met's purchase of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriot antiquities, the museum decamped from Fifth Avenue and took up residence at the Douglas Mansion on West 14th Street. However, these new accommodations were temporary; after negotiations with the city of New York, the Met acquired land on the east side of Central Park, where it built its permanent home, a red-brick Gothic Revival stone "mausoleum" designed by American architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mold. As of 2006, the Met measures almost a quarter mile long and occupies more than two million square feet, more than 20 times the size of the original 1880 building.
Dude was out taking pictures in his own - and frankly outmoded - way a couple weeks back when the cherry trees were doing their vibrant thing. So I holga'd his ass.

For Peter Knowlton Mandeville
This is an iPad painting, made with iColorama. I started with a painting I had made for Peter, a while ago, and moved it along, a bit more. Peter introduced me to what was then revolutionary music, when I was in my teens.

This cake was for my son who is a Painter & Decorator. What fun to do too..!!!
But, as some of you ladies know I have been having trouble with my buttercream squeezing out of the sides of my cakes and leaving unsightly ridges. I was grateful for all your kind suggestions and did use some of them but I also went for the Ganache option too. I loved it - it left a super straight edge which was perfect for a tin of paint cake. And I do have the lovely Ade (Ade's Piccies) to thank for my very small ganache skills as she kindly gave me a lesson before she returned down under....Thanks Ade...x
However, and there is always a however, I made my Ganache the previous evening, refridgerated it and when I came back to use it the next day it was as hard as rock. I don't think it should have been this hard and am wondering what I did wrong. I microwaved it to soften it which was fine but it does seem to dry out quickly so I had to microwave it again a couple of times.
Do you Ganaching ladies find your ganache goes very hard overnight in the fridge? And I also found that the ganache needs to be fairly soft to use over the cake properly or it won't cover perfectly - not that I got a perfect finish...lol...Thanks alot for any help....Rebecca

Day 84/365
The bluetits come in pairs, grab a sunflower seed and then fly off presumably to feed their little ones. This was taken a high ISO and also through my double glazed backdoor so the quality is not good. I gave up trying to denoise and sharpen and have given it a slight watercolour look instead.
