Australian, Single
// 20th August
I tried to do some serious shopping on the weekend. For stuff I need, rather than music I need. It was a semi-success, I found tonnes of cheap-as-chips sunglasses, and bought three pair. Now I don’t need to be so worried about wrecking my good pair.
I did accidentally buy some great music though.
Just A Song About Ping Pong from Operator Please. Despite these kids writing entirely stupid songs, they are catchy, and completely rock out.
Cement Cement by Operator Please.
Katie Noonan’s Time To Begin single. I love george, particularly their first album, so I had a quick squiz at this single, to find a cover of Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun on it! Being slightly obsessed with b-sides, I bought it.
I really don’t like Kisschasy. Even moreso their new song Opinions Won’t Keep You Warm at Night. It’s middle-of-the-road try-hard political rock, and it’s completely boring. But just as I flicked past this CD I was thinking about how you should always check the track list when a single catches your eye, just in case there’s a gem on there - usually a nice cover version. So I checked this single, and it has two covers! You Am I’s Berlin Chair and Regurgitator’s Blubber Boy. They are even pretty good! (For a second I thought God must have put the thought in my mind, but that would be stupid).

How does Katie’s new work compare to early George, t? I bought the Elixir album, but obviously it was pretty far removed from George’s genre.
Also - does it annoy you as much as it does me that Kisschasy can’t spell their own name? It’s Kiss ChasEy, damn it!

How do you ‘accidently’ buy music. That’s like someone having a wheel alignment problem driving home from Melbourne.

yeah, i was looking forward to seeing operator please as they were supporting maxïmo park, but then when we got there, operator please had cancelled. no explanation, and also it meant there was only one support.
but my mate lent me Cement Cement, so it wasn’t a total loss.

Mabs, I’ll let ya know after a few more listens to Katie Noonan. And yes, Kisschasy is spelt wrong.

That would be stupid? Thanks, Tristan. :P

I am a big fan of kisschasy, love them to pieces. And the funny thing is those two covers are the only songs I don’t like by them. I guess they are just terribly diferent from their normal stuff. lol so don’t worry about yourself about liking kisschasy now.
