I know they were triple J’s feature album recently, but I was totally in to them before they were cool. I will be in the same city when they play at St Jerome’s Laneway festival in Melbourne, but unfortunately I’ll be missing them to attend a wedding on that day. (Maybe. Their website be down at the moment so I can’t confirm the dates.) Bah…
I love how their songs build with layers of harmonies and they have some beautiful lyrics. I do not like their pretentious facial hair though. I tried to find ‘Sigh no more’ as I reckon it’s the best song on their album, but all the videos online are rubbish bootlegs. Still, this is a pretty awesome version of ‘Little lion man’ shot in a library.
I’m really hoping they schedule some more shows for Australia. They look like one of those bands that are in their element live.
I was mildly into Newton Faulkner before, in a ‘yeah that’s a good album to study to’ kinda way. But when I saw him perform this, I realised what sweet geeetar skillz he has.
Gotta love exams, there’s nothing like sitting on facebook feeling guilty about not studying. Unfortunately, all this procrastination study seems to be frying my brain. This week I have:
- locked the house up when I left. Whilst Matt was still inside. Twice.
- Made cups of tea and forgotten to drink them. I think that’s fairly normal. But yesterday I put a Berocca in my glass then walked away without filling it with water. Surely nobody’s short-term memory is THAT BAD.
- Submitted my tax with the wrong bank account details for them to send my tax return. Yikes.
