A’Sharad – heartfeltself From the Hardcore Pride Australia Wide video again. From their demo. Yes, they once sounded like this. They sounded like a Boysetsfire cover band. To me, who came in late, it was the sporadic screaming that sounded out of place, yet i guess to those who were there from the beginning it [...]

Supposed To Understand
Posted in Pastels, Scottish bands on March 30, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Supposed to understand – The Pastels Doo-be-doo Doo-be-doo Ba Ba Ba-da-da. Apparently that’s sung by the girls from Strawberry Switchblade, which, only knowing them from Since Yesterday and Trees and Flowers, i find incredible. I thought it was Aggi, and was all ready to attribute the greatest backing vocals in the history of music and [...]
Masterpiece

Masterpiece – Adrenalin O.D. I love that they called this song Masterpiece (because it’s the theme to Masterpiece Theater) and not Fanfare-Rondeau as it is exactly what i would have done, because who knows what the titles of classical pieces are called or who composed them? It reminds me of that Mr Show sketch where [...]

Pile ou face – Corynne Charby Pile! No, je veux dire face. No, pile. No, face. No, pile. No, face. Pile. Face. Pile. Face. Pile. Face. Pile. Face. Pile. Face. Pile. Face…..
Song Six

Song six – The Field Mice Yes… Maybe i’m still so used to a certain type of delivery in songs such as these, making this sound to me a little off – a little patronising, a little regressive, a little pathetic. Its earnest tweeness seems like a tip toe around the issue. But it was [...]
Right Here
Posted in australian bands, Go-Betweens on March 26, 2011 |
Right here – The Go-Betweens I submit that the Go-Betweens were less in love with and an embodiment of the city of Brisbane than Brisbane wanted/wants them to be. Especially at this point in their career. Take that.
Heart In Your Heartbreak

Heart in your heartbreak – The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart A few days to go now. And as promotion for that date what do i find when i turn on the TV late last night but them on the David Letterman show playing this song. While it was a fantastic surprise and is [...]
Life Is Wacky

Life is wacky – Assfactor 4 This song is my ringtone so every time it appears here it is most probably because i was woken by a phone call. That this is the first time it has ever appeared here just goes to show how much that actually happens. My mother called to tell me [...]
Birdhouse In Your Soul

Birdhouse in your soul – They Might Be Giants Miss Listen-To-One-Song-On-Repeat-One-Thousand-Times-In-A-Row woke me up with this song this morning. Actually it wasn’t just the one song, but a loop of three, over and over. I’ll never understand. Anyway, i’ll take this opportunity to post my favourite band on a talk show moment with They Might [...]
The Calm Before The Storm

The calm before the storm – The Bats The b-side to the Block of Wood 7″, demonstrating further that the Bats never wrote a bad song. Well it is one of the b-sides – the other is the nearly as excellent Candidate. That they never wrote a bad song is not a confidence i’ve yet [...]
