Day two of the MW's Astoria Bureau's barely-annotated Kiwifest kicks off with one of the more brilliantly extended metaphors we've stumbled across:
PARTY IN MY HEART
Chills
Brave Words
Flying Nun : 1987
[Buy It]
circles back to the Verlaines:
JESUS WHAT A JERK
Verlaines
Some Enchanted Evening
Flying Nun/Homestead : 1990
[Buy It]
and settles, for a moment, on the band that's more or less responponsible for every lo-fi act w/access to a TEAC:
SENILE DEMENTIA
Tall Dwarfs
[Early Symptoms]
NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN
Tall Dwarfs
3 Songs EP
Furtive : 1981
[Influences]
A stylish and worldly gentleman by the name of Alex Ross gave us a NZ mixtape in - well, it was an actual cassette tape, so draw your own conclusions. The song I remember best, but have the least accesss to, is the 3D's "Hey Suess". I've give a lot to post it - five bucks, at least. Instead, I'll go with a few tracks by the band that kicked off NZ's indie scene, back in 1981, when the fledgling Flying Nun label released the Clean's "Tally Ho" single, which quickly made it to #19 on the national pop charts. There might be better-known Clean songs out there - leave your comments in the comment box, below - but today we're especially partial to these:
