Song of the Day - Beds are Burning

Midnight Oils

I didn't know them either, but this group was apparently very popular in the Australian underground hacking scene in the 1980s, as I found out in this book (Underground by Suelette Dreyfus - get it free here).

There's an interesting story about one of the first computer worms released in the wild, which paid homage to the Midnight Oils by sending annoying messages with the text 'Oilz' to infected users.

The song is all right, the video could have been better...
