RichardHOST
Well, I'm five days different in age from John Cogill, the drummer.
RichardHOST
Um, I came to Powderfinger in '96 when they released Double Allergic, 'cause I remember Pick You Up and D.A.F. being on Triple J.
RichardHOST
And, uh, obviously that was the radio station I listened to exclusively in that year.
RichardHOST
And, um, so it was around finals time, around September '96 they released that album.
RichardHOST
I just have nothing but fond memories for them.
MarioHOST
Uh, David?
DavidHOST
So I, I heard Pick You Up and D.A.F. on the radio, and I went out and, went out and bought Double Allergic.
DavidHOST
Um, and I was like, "Yeah, okay, there's a few other songs on this I kinda like," but I was kind of more into Silverchair, I was kind of more into a couple of bands as well.

They've earned like 18 ARIA awards.
speaker_1HOST
Right and closing their career with five number one albums is no small feat.
speaker_1HOST
They really left a mark on Australian rock.
speaker_2HOST
You mentioned something about their last album, Golden Rule.
speaker_2HOST
Wow, that shows they still have that pulling power.
speaker_2HOST
Did you see their big event for Vulture Street?
speaker_1HOST
Yeah, it was a smash hit, right? I think it even returned to number one on the ARIA albums chart.
speaker_2HOST
That's impressive, especially for a reissue.
LuttsyHOST
Yes.

Mike GambaroCORRESPONDENT
I've seen some, you know, on the Reddits and things, there's been some rumours saying it might be a pound of finger exhibition.
Mike GambaroCORRESPONDENT
It might be, you know, the anniversary of Double Allergic, so it might be like a vinyl release.
Mike GambaroCORRESPONDENT
It might be something like that.
Mike GambaroCORRESPONDENT
But for you to do all this stuff.
