Tunes
Worst cover ever?
Sarah's Blasko's version of 'Flame Trees'. All that subtly brilliant rhyme and rhythm conjuring a joyful nostalgia that makes you feel like you grew up in Grafton too, lost to a flat xanax delivery akin to a bored checkout chick.
Horrible shite. Won't receive no embedding from me.
Here’s a genre :
Songs of potential reactionary dichotomy .
Play me this song after a solid ten year hiatus and I’ll fall over with delight. The delicately plucked guitar, the poetic storytelling of the lyrics. It’s all evocation and creates desire to lay on a quiet piece of sun drenched hill staring at the clouds and listening to the seabirds…..sigh.
Then watch my face turn beetroot red with explosive irritation if I happen to hear it again a time or two within ensuing days, which strangely seems to happen due to some unexplained cosmic force. The twee guitar picking, the cloying language grasping at an obvious trope. The cutesy lyrics…..Aaaargrh fugggginn Aaaarghhh!
Anyway…heard it today after a long spell and loved it once more.
embed the real flame trees flick for her
I can beat flame trees.
Begin with a bad song. Mangle the lyrics with a terrible cover and an atrocious advertisement for private health fund with a sickeningly saccharine attempt at cuteness. I just upchucked a little of my dinner. Sorry all for this.
"Songs of potential reactionary dichotomy."
Happened just a couple of days ago. Played the whole album. I'll leave it alone now for a few years. Good movie though.
Apologies in advance. This guy does a wide range of bad covers.
"Worst cover ever?"
Geez Stu, way to kill the vibe.....
Terrible covers?
Sticking with Triple J's Like A Version, here's a couple.
Lime Cordiale embarrassing themselves with I Touch Myself.
The lead vocals, the backing vocals, the arrangement, those awful flaccid Mickey Mouse keyboards.
Even the brass sucks, and I love brass.
And then there's the singer's hair. And the way he pronounces certain words.
He reminds me of this Down Syndrome kid who used to hang around the local pub and would regularly be caught masturbating noisily in the shitters.
Lime Cordiale is totally fucked.
I mean, really.
Dope Lemon just murdering Streets of Your Town. Go-Betweens songs should be off limits and any transgressors put in the stocks in the town square.
As a matter of fact, Lime Cordiale, Flume, Chet Faker, Hermitude etc etc are banned outright at my place of work, and no discussion will be entered into.
This song alone made its creator over $US50M. Doesn’t really seem so hard? Get yourself an empty milo tin, a pair of desert spoons and a recorder and start banking fat stacks yourself.
Geez Andy. For someone who doesn't like like a version, you seem to have listened to a lot of it. Agree re Go Betweens / Angus Stoned. Dunno about the others. Maybe tone it down re: downs - woke society and all. But seriously - I wouldn't go there. Doesn't paint you in a good light.

I never knew who played that song, love it though, im pretty sure it was on Blazing Boards.
It's kind of depressing song though makes you yearn for another time.

He was yearning for another time back in 1975!
After 10 Schooies down the Antler i reckon this Bloke would Rip out some Tunes

Songs about places, what have you got?
thought about going with naive melody but the zimmermen formed a nice link with
which led to some more flavours of americana
Nice.

Thanks for the link! Heard the author interviewed on RRR or PBS (forget which) last week - her best mates Dad ran the Barwon so she was right in the thick of it. Sounds like it will be a great read. Here's hoping someone puts something together for the 00's...never forget the sticky carpets of the Nash.
I just figured out I know the author. She's a legend. She gave me a lift home once after my car was stolen a few years back. She had literally just taken delivery of her Tarago and let me jump in with a wet wetsuit, sandy feet and surfboard and dropped me home at the door. Big personality, very kind hearted. I'm gunna have to buy the book now and quiz her about her past.
Some great selections going gents. Keep them coming!
Nice side step into left field Philo. Got me thinking more broadly, which is always a good thing.
Following the convoy and steering in to that left field, where no cars go
fuck yeah! hows that bass, mmm
doesn't count, but it sure is fun singing along to Heart's classic, Barracuda, substituting with Mallacoota. OOOOOooooooooo Mallacoooootaaa-ahhhh.
This has been good fun, heres one more for the mix...
Time to ditch the car and hit the sky.
.
Toes on the nose whilst your there...
great range of music Rm, still trying to get past call on my bros
hold on Courtney's Malibu sure takes me there
Good work j, like that. As a counterpoint ....
Top shelf blackers, songs about places going strong.
Reckon this would provide great soundtrack for a longboarding clip...
Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.
Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.
