Didnāt realise the Boys Next Door album was on Spotify finally. Not sure Iāve ever heard the whole thing as I can only remember a couple of tracks, though Iām not sure Iām missing much. Interesting how commercial they started out before turning into The Birthday Party and making violent post-punk noise.
The Castle Face record last year was quite good but definitely listen to the earlier stuff first. Primary Colours (the album which had the song chosen (not by me)) is a massive banger).
Quite disappointed that (I donāt think) the person who chose the Divinyls was our in-house Cupcakke nominator as itās kind of like a proto Cupcakke. Amazing it made it onto the radio 1 playlist.
Was tempted to go in two-footed on the Middle East song but decided that it was probably a good example of a genre that really isnāt for me. Feel somewhat vindicated that even the people who enjoyed it think that itās twee and wet.
Dude, just saw you mention ārectifyā in the comments for the Australian voting. Absolutely amazing show! High up there, for me. And never āmetā anyone else who knows about it
I have a thing with super āintenseā (not quite the right word, but canāt think of better) shows/films where I leave it with just the one watch.
Usually itās for more brutal/upsetting type stuff, which this wasnāt really, but Iām not sure I will watch it again, maybe.
It was absolutely brilliant though, in every way. And a very strong final season too, which always gets more points, as many shows struggle to round it all off.
i wasnāt totally invested in the new relationship, at least not compared to how deeply I felt other parts of the show. But I did like what they did with that story arc anyway, it was a much stronger ending than many other acclaimed shows manage, and the final scenes and images were absolutely stunning and unimpeachable
