Link in bio to order. Love, Jim
Do yourselves a favour....its a flippin good album
I love it! And I go more and more into 'Eternal Love' ... Just a little peak: The 3 EPs are soo individual that I would have loved a little break between them. Just a 3 Sec blind track to clear the ears... especially to rectify Tracks 4 and 5...
Very nice Mr Moginie. I am happy to have it in my collection. 👌🖐️
Been on repeat in my car ever since I got it Jim. That Bonfire is a cracking great song. 🧨🔥
These sort of weird monuments are everywhere. #ithinkitwasdiscoveredalongtimebeforethat
As a Yarr Ngunawal man I always get a chuckle out of things like this.
Standing over the Hawkesbury
My ancestor got along with the aborigines on the river. . he was accused of witchcraft.
Funny
If you want to read a great book/diary that was written back then. Have a look at the Watkin Tench diaries. They are a great read and seem to be a truthful insight about the first fleets arrival.
I'm sure that the indigenous people arrived later...
It's true though, he didn't know it was there or what it was called. I am in Ireland at the moment, discovering and naming things.
The year after the First Fleet landed.
Here Jim, I’ll whitewash this history for you - “in 1789 local aboriginals were heard to profusely thank Governor Phillip for locating a large and useful source of water for them”. Now it’s perfectly white.
Somewhere in Europe, recently.
Paris! Reviens Jim !🙏
It was so nice to meet you in the street in Trier.
Can we somewhere in America soon?? 🤗
🤞for somewhere in the uk soon 🥰
Ahhh....summer of 19 💛🖐️🎶
Great Shows Everywhere! (The 2 Aussie Warmups were Sensational!) Am so hoping for some Shows next year here??? 🙏🖑🎼
lucky people those who were there!!!
i think it was in Paris ( grand Rex) . Beautifull show under hot weather !
It was beyond wonderful! Let’s do it again!!
We are waiting for you again 😎🖐️🖐️🖐️
The ‘Tjungu’ team: moi, Sammy Butcher, Neil Murray, Jeff Maclaughlin pictured outside the Red House Studio Alice Springs. The album took years to make, and I’m very proud of it. Check it out on your friendly streaming services.
Wind in my head and Pikilyi my faves, Blood & Longing Neil’s new one is great, not to mention Motherland. You guys are just tearing it up!!!
Do you play on the album Jim? I’m sorry I missed the Album launch in Alice. I heard there was a gig the week before I arrived
And I am happy having one copy of this masterpiece over here. When friends ask this is my "Australian J. J. Cale album".
Beautiful album Jim. 👍💖
On a completely unrelated note - Jim, when are you going to play a gig in Scotland? I yearn for it!!!! 🙂
Pertaining to the last post.... The Colour Wheel by Jim Moginie Electric Guitar Orchestra live. Signed evidence on double LP and CD in bio or jimmoginie.bandcamp.com/album/the-colour-wheel-signed-by-jim-moginie
I took my kids to see the JM EGO in a small performance space in Erskineville in 2016. It was awesome! Thanks Jim
Delaunay. Colour theory ❤️ . This pic was taken in Lyon a couple of months ago when we were there to play at the Roman amphitheatre above the town. The idea of the history of Colour has long fascinated me, and where sound and colour meet in a heady collision to create a third happening: synaesthesia. Some people have acute synaesthesia and I met many doing our Colour Wheel shows a few years back. We’ve a few signed copies in of the LP and CD of ‘The Colour Wheel’ recorded live at the #sydneyoperahouse at the Reverberama online store. Link in bio or jimmoginie.bandcamp.com/album/the-colour-wheel-signed-by-jim-moginie. Have a grand day all. Jim #synaesthesia #midnightoilband #electricguitarorchestra
Here's where my Oils/Moginie fandom meets my XTC/And Partridge fandom - at the intersection called synesthesia.
Jim Moginie, this is right! History and color theory are so great. I highly recommand this book as a start😀
The Old Boy network. Cash and plum jobs on delivery.
It’s what we are all up against.

Mining firms worked to kill off climate action in Australia, says ex-PM
theguardian.com
Kevin Rudd says industry still has huge influence in a country beset by climate policy torpor
Bernie Sanders said he wants to them joal.
To think we once had a carbon price that worked in curbing emissions.
Scomo & Co are too busy filling up their Bank Accounts! $$$$$$ are all they can see! Our Country has been Sold Off, and Sold Out! 😠
What a surprise
Bittersweet Jim that you have plenty of inspiration for new music. Once again the Oils will be at the forefront of the call for change - 40 years on.
Thanks for the read. I still can't believe what they have been approved locally under the Wollongong dams
So short sighted. Don't these people have children?
This is a disgrace. The old boys need to fuck off and die . I was eating dinner the other night and over heard to Elderly gents as they sucked on a Schooner. Those fucking climate protesters should be shot . There’s no such thing as climate change I’m 65 years of age and there’s no such thing as climate change climate changes but there’s no such thing as climate change. I sat there horrified listening to these fucking guys. But unfortunately the country is filled with closet haters when it comes to racism and issues such as things like this. I mean let’s face it look who’s running the joint Blinky fucking bill. It is a young person’s world and it’s a shame that the old crew are so fucking brain-dead Or no just greedy. Very sad .

Deadly .. the sistas in the house !!!
She's got such a Great Voice! 🎤🎼
love leah. i've seen her a couple of times... at bella union i think
Im in Brooklyn Jim,where are you????
This is not about my opinion. It’s about an objective truth. It’s not fake news. We choose what we choose to believe on any issue these days depending on what we are fed, in the weight of the onrushing media blitzkreig and wherever we choose to get our news FROM. We choose what we want to hear, or not hear.
This case is about freedom of speech, an inviolable human right. Julian revealed what we didn’t know about what governments were doing behind our backs (just like Sandburg and Woodward did with Nixon and Watergate) and in our name. He has won numerous awards including the Economist New Media Award, Time Person Of The Year, Amnesty UK media Award, The Sydney Peace Prize amongst a host of others. So what happened to get where we are now, where this Australian citizen has been completely criminalised to the point of being extradited to the US to face certain extinguishment?
The tables have been turned and the media and governments are now cleverly playing the man, not what he has achieved. I implore those that can think clearly and not react to the spin of Morrison, Trump and Murdoch with their complete dominance of the real (not Trumpian) fake news to sign this vital petition to stop his extradition.
Resist.
Jim Moginie.

Free Julian Assange, before it's too late. Sign to STOP the USA Extradition
Modern day Oswald #thepatsy
The slander against Julian has been breathtakingly mendacious.
I hope you listen to Richard M. Dolan, Jim.
The treatment of this great man is disgusting but both sides of politics have greatly let him down not just one
Ciaron O'Reilly and his team has been flying the flag for Assange for a long time now! Check him out!
Well said Jim!....i'm signing right now

Excerpt from last night’s solo guitar piece at Jim’s Music Lounge #2 @ MAGAM Manly supporting #neilmurrayau. Thanks all for your support for Oz music on the Northern Beachheads.
Sorry I can’t watch these just now Jim. I’m in a lovely little spot outside of Kilkenny, but there’s no wifi and The phone signals a bit weak. I’ll have a little look when I head into town
Funky🎸🎸
I need the acid your on yjimbo"😆🎩🧤
I have wanted to share with you some of the rythyms and syncopations of this World Champion Irish Dancer from Australia - Conor Simpson - here dancing a Hornpipe ☘☘☘ Enjoy☘☘☘ https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2696004127109483&id=220919857951268
Can’t wait for the one in November. This series should be permanent. Living, breathing culture in northern Sydney. Who knew?
My 'Oil' from last night. For some reason it looks just like an artwork 🙂 Thankyou for this wonderful series at MAGAM - truly magical.
Interesting Sound going on there! (Bring on November) 🎸🎼🎶
Gorgeous guitar!
Ross Hannaford would be proud mate
Love this 🥰
Michele Fowler Ian will be very interested in this. Footage from the gig he attended last night.
Would’ve loved to have made it. See you at the next one in November.
Michele Fowler
Amazing track from a Manus Island survivor. He is a great artist and people need to hear his message. Wake up Australia.
Please share this. JimAsylum Seeker ‘Moz’ releases song recorded in Manus Island detention centre August 30, 2017. ‘All the Same’ produced by O’Brien, Skov & Pilkington @Audrey St...
I have endured unimaginable things but that suffering also provided the opportunity to meet some wonderful caring Australians. Many thanks Jim Moginie for sharing my music.
Thank you Jim for this. He is right we are all the same. I have met a number of refugees over the years, there are good, bad, traumatised. The statistics speak for themselves, most (the majority) are legitimate refugees. Why would anyone risk life to leave a safe home? I'll stop there. Thanks for posting this.
Kangaroo Court
Sadly, our Courts are a Damn Joke Nowadays!
Great artist. Where is this displaying Jim?
The impermanence of life as seen in a guitar pedal. Been with me since 1983. A not so silent witness. Magical. #bossvb2
Boss is Best
If you’re ever looking for a home for it you know where we are Jim 😉
Lovely ... AND Legacy
Well Used & Loved!
The Best of Both Worlds wobble!
Love this post, ultimate nerd school, got any more pics and stories of other guitar gear Jim? 😎
Sparked the sounds that sent shivers down our spines and moved a generation, Thanks 🙏
Lol.... love it
One more day of eating and sleeping Baawhawhawhawhawhawaaa?
Could utilize that pick for ur next album cover??
That sound - burned into my ears forever
Man!!! That is work of art! Beautiful shot,Jim.
Love Boss pedals...
should have bought yourself a Fender Twin Reverb that comes with vibrato. Worth a fortune these days!
That is your sound Jim Moginie. Here's my re-issue.
Nice! That's one well loved pedal. Jim, was this used on Armistice Day? Love the guitars on that..
The most beautiful example of entropy I've ever seen.
I'll give you $500 for it. lol jkjk
This is an incredible post!! But...what did you use BEFORE 1983?
Was this used in “Only the Strong?”
Classic! 😎👍🏻 I cringe every time I see one of these; I had a VB-2 as well as one of the old Spectrum Pedals, & sold them both for next to nothing (I think I actually gave the Spectrum away!). Both worth a fortune now.
New screensaver🖐
Spotted here with a few other well worn relics
Still safer than being Robs drum kit.
Vibrato???
Friday October 4 ...next week... not much I can say about him apart from complete admiration... #2 of Jim’s Music Lounge at Manly Art Gallery. I’ll be joining him on a few songs. Come and see this legendary songwriter play his very own great Australian songbook. Link in bio or www.eventbrite.com.au/e/jim-moginies-magm-music-lounge-2-neil-murray-tickets-68386099665?ref=eios
Ruing the days when Perth felt far away from all these wonderful things ... now it's "if only" ...
Me too, sitting in the Northern hemisphere...
Greetings chaps have a good one :)
Oh so looking forward to it!
And I am sitting on the wrong side of the planet. Would love to listen to you playing "Tjungu" songs and others. <3
A shame I'm so far away in South Gippsland. I'm sure it will be 'calm and crystal clear'! Memories of Neil Murray and The Rain Makers touring with the Oils back in 1990.
That's going to be a great night!
Flowers speaking to power. This is Greta Thundberg Day forever more. #gretathundberg
Her conviction. Her Passion. Her Power to compel others to make a stand on a Global Scale. Absolutely awe inspiring 😍
I cried when she gave her speech We are lucky to have such an extraordinary human being to lead the way She is right - it shouldn’t be her but it is And I’m sorry for her that it is But she is incredible
This silly girl has been 1000% brainwashed... what the hell would she know about what controls the climate trends ? She's a jumped up little loudmouth ..
I always feel ashamed not being brave enough doing what she does. Absolutely stunning and memorable! Now we all need to take the action and continue what started in the wider sense (incl. adults) last Friday. I am relieved that someone from the MO space recognizes her - finally - because there must be / is that link that both parties stand for!
I love her. So many tiny righteous white men are putting her down in the most tiny way.
Yes!
She’s a hero for speaking absolute truth to absolute power. And the look she gave Trump was set to kill.
There has to be a song in this Jim. Incredible speech.
Is there a flower that expresses outrage?
ABC Goulburn Murray
Your guitars will work beatifull"💉
I love it....theres no stopping her
I prefer to listen and learn from professors of atmospheric gases and geology then a young girl
What a girl!! and I really loved the look she had when she saw Trump!!!
Little legend
Okay, Janina Palmer, would you share a counterpoint to even just one thing Greta said, about those present and their collective response to A.C.C.?
The motel of lost companions waits with heated pool and bar. Neil Young got that right. I took the photo on my old Nikon 35mm film camera on a timer. Blast from the past and an existential moment rolled into one. Boston 1990 methinks. #midnightoilband
Air conditioned bar on the live version Jim

Loving the H&C t shirt there Jim 🙂
1990. The posters have you in blue shirt & white(ish) jeans, swinging the Villager 12 & generally looking like a true blue author of verse & melody.
I know that band shirt too. Hunters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beatific wings in the aroma of the past
The support band merch t-shirts come in handy when the washing is on.
Not a Ramada Inn?
You look as if you want to be with a cinnamon girl.
Very atmospheric. Love it.
SNIPPET of my solo guitar 🎸 opening for Leah Flanagan last night @MAGAM. Very inspired by art by #wendysharpe
The clip to Say Goodbye Vera Lynn is up. We had fun making this, filmed on the mighty Hawkesbury River near Sydney. And my banjo debut.

Thanks for all your preorders and support, that made Triptych the CD ACTUALLY HAPPEN! ...it’s still only a very limited edition: but we still have some left! Go to jimmoginie.bandcamp.com/ 💗Jim #3Epsin1cd #reverberamarecords #midnightoilband
Climate strike today. Its because our kids are terrified of a future where nothing is being done by our leaders (et al) to slow down this onrushing climate emergency that it is happening. And schools should teach children to try and make a difference in the world by standing up and calling out wrongdoing. So it should be called an ‘authorized absence’ SCOMO (et al), like you get when your parents wrote a note to say you’re sick or such. I would have thought the threat of extinction is more important than just having a cold.
I commend you to listen to The 1975, link in bio or open.spotify.com/track/1E0WHM7g26mSxhgTq16KF3?si=y8JuHmOsT0CXDjBlrZMyXw
Grade 8 Gap High students are way smart already
Thanks Jim Moginie - shared 👌
U-18's only school kids gigs please
Thanks Jim
Thanks for your support🖐
The spike starts at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Unless you call that a naturally occurring climate cycle, we should take responsibility for the situation we now find ourselves in and work collectively toward more sustainable energy sources. No blame aimed anywhere, just an acknowledgement that we have a problem and should act responsibly to address it. Politicians don’t listen so protests become necessary. If I was 15 today, I’d be worried and I’d certainly be remembering the current government inaction when I got my chance to vote in a few years time.
I'll be authorizing an absence in Boston. Proud of my 16 year old son and his friends for taking a stand.
Really hope the Oils write a song to encourage these kids further and let them know that we are behind them. A school near to where I live will be have hundreds attend the protest today, yet here in western Sydney, kids at my school are all still here. The good part these days is that environmental education is part of our syllabuses.
