[Alister Thomas]

Hi all

brief intro from a newbie: I live in Melbourne, Australia, am nearly 27 and 
have been listening to the Oils since around '87 (when Diesel and Dust came 
out) and have only seen them live once (in 1990, Blue Sky Mining tour). I 
intend to see them play again ASAP!! I prefer their 80's stuff but am 
slowly warming to the 90's + 00's stuff (I only have 2 albums to collect 
from their entire collection - ESM&S and Redneck Wonderland).

It's great to have discovered an Oils list (I was refered by another 
current listee who is also on another list I'm subbed to). Good, also, to 
see a list with a good proportion of Aussies (for a change!).

Looking forward to future discussions ;)
