Our Unnamed Rock band wrote another anthum last night, Suburbian and coke, poking fun at suburbia and all the that the suburbs hold dear. Anyone got any good names for a rock band, we cant find one we like for more than a hour.
Heading to sydney to sail down the east coat with my brother next week, should be good. I reckon I will spend the whole time throwing up. he has shite taste in music so all i am packing is Cd's

If you're a lover of Will Oldham, M.Ward etc then give Antony and the Johnsons "I am a Bird Now" a whirl - nothing particularly like them but for the melancholy, somewhat dark musings...I hear strains of old Delta/country bluesmen like Skip James, Mississippi John Hurt etc mixed with Nina Simone...brilliantly moving stuff!! Also, Bright Eyes "I'm Wide Awake...", Damien Rice "O" (can't take it out of my player at the moment...awe inspiring!!)
For something with a little more shove to it, I've been listening to Mewithoutyou (hints of Shellac/Albini and maybe even a little Slint), Q and Not U (move from off kilter punk to electro laced punk that leans towards the funk-punk of old like A Certain Ratio, ESG etc), Th Arcade Fire (epic, sweeping, almost overblown, mutated pop in a Bowie kinda way), Sleater Kinney "The Woods" (whoaahh...angrier and denser than ever), Comets on Fire "Blue Cathedral" (overdriven wall-of-sound rock with a charging psychedelic feel), Yourcodenameis:milo (spazzed out indie with a splash of emo wailing)...
It's old, but only just re-issued...The Monks "Black Monk Time" (minimalist, at times Kraut Rock styled punk...and I don't mean punk like today - think elements of Can and Neu!)
D'ya like funk/soul?? Try Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings (authentic sounding and touring Oz)
Great old-school punk (ala Poison Idea) in the form of Paint it Black
And of course if you want to find some brutal hardcore/metal, check out the newies from each of these bands:
Norma Jean, Converge, Trivium, Mastodon...
I best go now...have rambled on long enough. Hope you find something that might take your interest. There's a million more I could suggest.
