====== Notes on Australian Music ======

^ //Live Across Australia// ^^^^
| COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER | Haven't had any luck with her albums, as much as I like her voice the song choices don't gel with me at all. I grabbed this one because I like the single of it I heard, //[[yt>GFLCp2Oajng|Imagination]]//, but it's mostly slow songs I'm not into. The upbeat stuff is good though: //Once We Get Started//, //You//, //Imagination//, //Whatever Goes Around//, //Jumping Jack Flash//.  |||

^ //Screen Memory// ^^^^
| COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER | This's been sitting in my record shelf for a while, but I never listened to it. I like the title 'screen memory', but it's typical middling, eighties Aus stuff. Lyrics are pretty bad, so's the singing. I like the bass at the start of //Closing In//, and the chorus of //Wrong World//.  |||

^ //Glory For The Shit For Brains// ^^^^
| COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER | I like the fast repetitive drum machine stuff, less-like the amount of vocal samples. Singing's very [[Suicide]]y (and some times [[Nick Cave]]y), but overall they sound like enough of their own thing. Sometimes skip the last two songs on side A. //Skin//'s my fave?, like a more real version of the atmosphere of that //[[yt>https://[[yt>yc0NMJyTc0g|Savin' the Day]]// song from //Ghostbusters//. Like the fast drum machine in //Where Are We Going//. Don't like //Slave//, not really //Done No Wrong// either, but like the title track.  |||

^ //No// ^^^^
| COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER | The song //Death To The Users Of The World// off here is why I grabbed all these. Got to it on [[youtube]] ages ago (I think via Whirlywirld), but later forgot most of the info about the song, and ended up putting it on the [[lost things]] page. I like the song apart from the looping voice samples that are extra annoying 'cause there's a different one in each channel. Otherwise I'm not that fussed about this EP. |||

^ //Once We Were Scum Now We Are God// ^^^^
| COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER | Maybe it's kinda more of the same, but it's the best one.  |||

^ //I'll Be Around// ^^^^
| COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER\\ COVERCOVER | It's cheaper to get the whole album than get the single I really like---//I'll Be Around//, so I'm uming-and-ahing over it.\\  Another example of me liking the upbeat songs and not the slow ones: I like //I'll Be Around//, //Now You're On Your Own// (but it's a bit long), //Rainbow In Your Eyes//, //Soon As Your Thing Is Done//, //Riff Raff//, //Midnite Sky//.  |||
