Tiny Vipers - Life On Earth

Woah, was this officially released already?

I guess it isn't. I'm just sneaky like that.

An excellent version of the smiths classic by Neil Finn.

Im still to check out Split Endz and some Tim Finn.

Choice!

Definitely check out Split Enz - they started out as a prog band and moved into pop / new wave territory in the 80s. I've posted this video before - it's one of their more popular songs (watch the HQ version)... and wasn't Neil Finn a handsome young chap in 1984? :D

^ Ah how I love Split Enz. Australians tend to claim them as their own...

& I never knew they started out as a prog band!

Um, thanks for the video but I didnt really dig that song, I think Ill be more into their earlier stuff. Much like Crowded House, I expected them to be hit and miss. Funny how the songs I hate my mum likes & the ones I like my mum doesnt like or is indifferent to. Usually its best not to pay attention to your parents taste in music, but I was an impressionable kid.

I need more music like this. Some ridiculously catchy songs from the original Blues Brothers.

Big beats + metallic riffs + quickfire hip-hop-styled vocals = awesomeness

As I've said before, despite the slightly dated production style, this is some essential dancehall reggae.

I keep meaning to ask you for that overseer album pretty please :)

It's on the way :)

I'm bored, so I'm gonna rattle on about some stuff I've been listening to (again).

^ A band I got into yesterday, consisting of former members of the Auteurs and the Jesus and Mary Chain. Only three albums to their name, of which the Facts Of Life on the left there is probably the best one. They peddled this very interesting hybrid of indie, pop and trip-hop. Fabulous stuff in other words.

^ These guys are bloody awesome as well. I'd heard a few songs but never actually got round to finding an album 'til earlier this morning. Sure, the production gives off a little bit of a dated sound, but what matters is that this is one of the best products of the Scottish post-punk movement in the 80s - like a harder though just as commercially-viable version of Aztec Camera.

^ Some 4AD-funded indie in the shape of post-punk girl band Throwing Muses, featuring stepsisters Tanya Donelly (who'd go on to work with the Breeders) and Kristin Hersh. Another album I basically picked out at random and one that's really paid off as a gamble of sorts.
