Of degrees – Crux It’s funny how nostalgia creeps up and becomes a thing. This so much brings back a time that seems as though it shouldn’t need to be brought back at all. It wasn’t that long ago? A continuum has followed and nothing has been lost? Turns out not as little as i [...]

The Great Dividing Range
Posted in australian bands, Lucksmiths on January 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
The Great Dividing Range – The Lucksmiths I’ve discovered that sleeping on a plane is a very hard thing to do. Dozing as far i could sink and always being shook from it, i looked up to the flight progress monitor to see we were flying over this very mountain range and this song came [...]
Father’s Day
Posted in australian bands, songs i hate, Weddings Parties Anything on November 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Father’s day – Weddings Parties Anything I wish i could have broken up the Kpop with something better. The band who cause much short-lived excitement/long-lived disappointment when flicking through the “W” section in record stores, thinking i’ve stumbled upon something by another certain band whose name begins “Wedding”. Ugh. So many times. I think my [...]
Who The Hell Are You?
Posted in australian bands, Madison Avenue on November 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Who the hell are you? – Madison Avenue Ugh. A-pop. Maybe not so much pop – more dance music. Regardless, it’s crummy. And like all Australian pop/dance music it has aged horribly. I’d forgotten how terrible and put on the singer’s voice is, especially when she reaches for some kind of soul sassiness. Who ever [...]
Hello

Hello – Potbelleez Well hasn’t this been one crappy week. TV show themes, a song i didn’t want to deal with, and a day i almost gave up. And now a song i only know through its use as a station ID for the digital channel GO!. Well great. It’s nice channel 9 could find [...]
I’ve Done Everything For You

I’ve done everything for you – Rick Springfield It seems so strange for a heartthrob to sing a song of spite, but that’s the kind of heartthrob Rick Springfield was. Look out, girls! Maybe that should be the heartthrob Rick Springfield still is. The man is a vampire. 62 years old in August, and if [...]

It also appeared on a couple of other releases before finally being compiled on the “A kiss and a cuddle” CD. In March 1993 the Cat’s [...]
Down About It
Posted in australian bands, Smudge on June 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Down about it – Smudge Yeah, that’s right – SMUDGE! It is a measure of some reassurance and vindication that most of the Lemonheads best songs were written by someone else – usually an Australian and usually Tom Morgan. The alternative Adonis figurehead that is Evan Dando can have all the swoons and Rolling Stone [...]
This Perfect Day

This perfect day – The Saints This perfect song. It all made sense to me – the Saints – through this song. (I’m) Stranded is great and all, but this to me is everything of the time bomb we’ve been told that first single was. It’s everything the Saints have been praised for, with none [...]
Scum Manor

Scum Manor – Clag Australia’s lost and forgotten pop history. It’s more well known and revered overseas than it is here. There used to be bands like this here! There might still be, if i knew where to look. You would think, with how popular and accessible this music is nowdays, there to be something. [...]
