Drug Dealing
We met up with this guy on Sunday afternoon in Radford. All the time we were talking to him, his wife was beeping the horn on his car really urgently and stressing out like she wanted him to leave really quickly. Then we looked down at his leg.

The Marquis is a meeting point for The Radford Boys, which is a collection of men born and bred in the area.
Load Sixteen Tons And What Do You Get?

The Lone DJ
Beyond the odd jukebox, it's not easy to get a music fix in Coober Pedy. We spent our first few days looking for a local band to interview, or maybe a record store of some sort, and found absolutely nada.
Paper Boy Blues
I started to get into pop music in the early 80s and, to me, Rumble Strips sound like all my favourite groups from that time of industrial disputes, yuppies and riots.
