Bloody hell. Someone listens to the Durutti Column! I haven't listened to any of their tunes in years. May give 'em a spin tomorrow. EDIT: Looks like it's Pretzel.
I am sooooooo sick of hearing all this nick cave shit on triple j, one of the most over rated muso's ever.
I spent all of Tom and Alex, Zan's show and an hour of lewie's and I got to the same point. I reckon he was fucking shit.
Mate nothing he did is above average, the birthday party didn't even have a big following in their target audience and since then it's been one bland over sung album/group after another. Grinderman are terrible and him and the bad seeds aren't much better.
The Bad Seeds are probably the best Australian band since Crowded House disbanded IMO. Nick Cave is tremendous.
Pretty impressed by the new Bluejuice album, I could take them or leave them after their second album but finding that I enjoy a couple of the songs on their newy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpc9Fxanuh4 Pretty sure i am in love. This is my premeture vote for album of the year. Fucking brilliant australian indie rock.
Half of the new Black Keys album is available to stream on their website Really awesome stuff, especially the final two minutes of Little Black Submarines.
