MOTD: Your Sunday Double Treat
It may be April 1st but there’s no fooling when I say this one is worth the time for two reasons… #1 Your Sunday MOTD is from Aussie band POWDERFINGER with the soulful lyrics and vocals of frontman BERNARD FANNING and his song THESE DAYS, originally written for the soundtrack of the 1999 movie TWO HANDS. A studio version of the track was never released on a Powderfinger album. Appearing instead only on the official Two Hands sound-track album. Was later featured on the bands 2004 live album release THESE DAYS: Live In Concert.
Reason #2 (as if you needed another reason) is that the video behind this particular incarnation of the song is provided by the boys at JONES AIR - AERIAL AGRICULTURAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES located 500km west of Brisbane in outback Queensland, Australia. In other words, they do CROP DUSTING in the DARLING DOWNS. And quite well by the looks of this.
Worth noting just how CLOSE they get to powerlines, trees, fences and other things that will quickly ruin your day at the office, if that office happens to be the cockpit of an AT-802 AIRTRACTOR with a cruising speed of 314km/h
