LIFE IN OUR LAND.
THE SPIRIT FLOWS
Hello fellow travelers of spaceship earth. My name is Feather Wilson.
I started the spirit acres commune back in 82. It was a fine barmy
spring when we started making the mud bricks for the main house.
Northern New South Wales back then was a quiet hamlet for the old
brothers and sisters. We built the place up from mother earth and we
thank her for her bountiful delights.
I guess you could call the hi-god people our resident groovers. Dion
was born at the commune to Anna Spring Blossom and Brian North Star,
back in 86. He was a peaceful and enquiring child. Dylan came here as
a seven year old, and he and Dion started their music making with
flutes in the woods, skipping gently to the seasons. Julian moved here
as a twenty six year old ex heroin user. He's done it tough, but his
humour has always got him through. Greg was the last to join us, only
eight years ago. He enabled us to enter the computer age with his know
how.
I remember the days we had playing music as the sun set, as if it was
yesterday. The acoustic guitar and bongo marathons would go into the
early hours. There we many people involved in these jams, but it was
only Dylan, Dion, Greg and Julian that seriously melded with the sun.
They've been at it ever since, spreading the word – of everlasting joy
for all beings. I hope you like this record. We at the commune are
proud of our brothers spreading the karmic mantra
of love.

The Scroungers sound like punk was always supposed to, but rarely did; urgent, raw and dripping with sardonic anger. The fact that the Scroungers (a solo home recording project) grew partially out of Macka's growing dissatisfaction the Melbourne punk scene of the early 1990s is somewhat ironic. Working in relative isolation and never performing live, Macka recorded a large body of work that is arguably the rawest, high-octane, politically and socially incisive punk rock the country has ever produced. Yet the Scroungers remain unknown to all but a few.
Bored, Pissed and Agro: 1991-1997 reproduces the best moments from the eleven Scroungers releases (ten cassettes and one split 7") during these years when the project was active. Download it from Shame File Music
