Friday Night Videos

It's a shame Men At Work didn't enjoy more success than they did, because they were a fun band and Colin Hay was (is) a talented performer. I quite like his solo work, although that never enjoyed a fraction of the success Men At Work did. They always had a healthy sense of humor in their music, which often took a skewed view of society. Case in point: "Who Can It Be Now? which is infectious and probably the group's second-most popular song.

Friday Night Videos

On Facebook and elsewhere, I've had a bit of conversation of late regarding Vegemite. I like the stuff--had a sample a few years back during an Aussie friend's visit--but it's not readily available in the U.S. So when I saw some at World Market last week, I picked up a jar despite the (relatively) steep price. I'm probably being charitable by saying it's an acquired taste. It's a thick, dark yeast extract paste that is fairly pungent and briny, but is also fat- and carb-free, chok full of vitamin B and lesser amounts of other nutrients. A little goes a long way. I've discovered it pairs really well with dark beer when spread on toast (I tend to go for nutty, multi-grain breads, for the record). None of which has anything at all to do with Friday Night Videos, other than the fact I cannot speak of Vegemite without automatically thinking of Men At Work. Enjoy.
