freaky silly boys.
It isn't easy being freaky or silly. Being both....
Meanwhile, back to my Smokey Robinson & the Miracles CD.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

More sugar!
Eat It! Eat It RAW!!!
Rah, rah, rah!! That's the spirits we have here...
aww man, Jerry Goldsmith is(was) my favourite movie composer.
They never come up into the hills . . . .
So I picked up a 2-disc comp of Split Enz Spellbound because I wanted some of their earlier, mid-seventies stuff. Guess what? It's good! Even before they were Crowded House, even before "I Got You" - they wrote catchy songs with smart lyrics and excellent vocals. What're the odds?
Also got the recent Magnetic Fields, London Calling on CD (was missing it recently, and getting to the turntable is getting to be a project. My whole world turned digital.), Loud Family ( Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things which has some of the coolest song titles of recent memory like "Self Righteous Boy Reduced To Tears" and "Some Grand Vision of Motives and Irony" and "Ballad Of How You Can All Shut Up" and "The Second Grade Applauds" and also Attractive Nuisance which sports a cover photo of the actual empty swimming pool at the actual Burnt Norton of the T.S. Eliot poem).
Also got Songs The Cramps Taught Us, vol. 3 which is basically a better digital edition of the Born Bad series (which I love). Does anybody else love that funky purgatory of American rock from the early sixties between Elvis hitting the army and the Beatles? It's so skanky and demented and beautiful.

I always preferred Split Enz to Crowded House. My favorite song of theirs has to be Six Months In a Leaky Boat.

Although the CH where Neil brought Tim into the band (Woodface) was basically a Split Enz Redux. And "Chocolate Cake" is one of my favorite songs by either band.
Six Months . . . is probably the only chart song outside of OZ/NZ with the word Aotearoa.
