The Triffids – Wide Open Road

December 30, 2015 by Curator Boy

WEDNESDAY'S WHATEVER: The Triffids are one of those bands defined by the length of their career. It's not a fair definition as their output is greater than most bands achieve. The fact remains that David McComb's death at 36 ended what could have been one of the most impressive bands Australia has produced. Wide Open Road was voted as one of the Top 30 Australian songs of all … [Read more...]

Third Eye Blind – Semi-Charmed Life

December 24, 2015 by Curator Boy

THURSDAY TOP 10s: If you were listening to the radio in 1997, this song was hard to escape. And understandably so - Third Eye Blind have the ability to churn out incredibly catchy songs right up until today (their latest album Dopamine is well worth a listen). Semi-Charmed Life kicked them off in a big way and it's a very worthy Top 10 contender on The Music Week: … [Read more...]

Royal Headache – Carolina

December 23, 2015 by Curator Boy

There's only one thing I like more than stumbling across new music and that's having a musician mate link to some damn good music. So thanks Pete for the heads up on Royal Headache, a Sydney, Australia outfit. After listening to their recent release 'Carolina', I was sold and had to agree with a Youtube commenter: Kids younger than me making me nostalgic for the sounds … [Read more...]
