Midnight Oil shined a light on the plight of the Aboriginal communities in the Australian Outback with their 1987 hit “Beds Are Burning”. This anthemic song is widely considered one of the greatest pieces of music to ever come out of Australia, and any Australian listeners will likely be shocked that we're discussing this band on a podcast about one hit wonders. The charts don't lie, however, and this was Midnight Oil's only Top 40 Billboard hit in the US. This week, we're joined by Zao guitarist Scott Mellinger to decide if this band makes us want to dance when our earth is turnin' or sleep while our beds are burnin'.

At some point in your life you've probably felt like you are “running from something”. For most people that feeling can be fleeting but no less frightening. However for some people that feeling of “flight” is a constant everyday struggle, one that feels like no place is safe and that there is never a place that you can rest. On this episode I describe what it is that I am “running from” and how a metal album of all things made me feel heard and understood at a time where I was trying to make sense of all of it. Scott Mellinger of Zao joins me briefly during this exploration to discuss some of the thoughts and feelings presented on this record.
