Some songs seem perfectly suited to those lazy days where summer's last flurry slides into autumn. Some songs simply have a quality that makes you want to sit back and appreciate them, and everything that surrounds you. Liam Finn's Second Chance is one of those songs... I stumbled on it today, and its indescribable effervescence has me totally intoxicated:

you find yourself listening to records by the OFFSPRING of some of the bands you grew up listening to.Like Liam Finn...who obviously sounds a LOT like his dad, Neil...but at 23 he definitely has already carved out his own sound. Now Crowded House were a little before my formative years, but I just saw them for the first time ever at Coachella this past April...so this hit me hard :-)This is a l...

A young Liam Finn learnt to play many intstruments, well as the son of Neil Finn (Front man of Crowded House, one of my favourite bands, and yes even though they are originally from NZ we claim them as Aussies... lol) I guess there were plenty lying around for the taking...Liam received alot of praise for his debut album I'll be Lightening last year, this is his second single Better to Be from ...

My name is Julia. You might remember me, I used to post here, and I was, dare I say, a little popular. People were often bored enough to comment on my posts, at any rate. They were even deluded into featuring me in the MOG Gazette. Alas, that clearly meant nothing to me, as I disappeared into a haze of school and pretty much everything else except MOG. Not that that's an excuse, it's a te...

I can't help it. I've always been a "Crowded House":http://www.crowdedhouse.com/s_home/index.phpfan even tho that may make me somewhat of a sap in the eyes of "some":http://stereogum.com/archives/concert/coachella-rage-fans-didnt-like-crowded-house_005258.html. So, I was very happy to hear CH offspring, Liam Finn's new tune. It's been described as "melancholy":http://www.indyweek.com/gyrobase/C...

http://terriblelovesongs.blogspot.comI have just returned from a lovely time celebrating a wedding in France with my French family. In my absence, London has experienced an unusual bout of warm weather and unfortunately, my poor old courgette plant took the brunt of it. Guess they're off the menu this week...My sickly looking courgette plant -please note the little bird who flew in momentarily ...

I've heard it said that 2008 was a bad year for music. I'm not sure that I ever agreed, and my resentment of that statement grows with each musical gem I find that somehow went undiscovered (at least by me) during last year. My latest find, Liam Finn, is the son of Crowded House member Neil Finn, which garnered him some attention last year, though too little in my opinion. Finn's debut, I'...

It is a joke amongst my friends, this affinity-bordering-on-pathetic-obsession I have for/with Neil and Tim Finn. While my appreciation for wee Liam Finn (Neil's boy) is unlikely to reach the same mythic proportions, I am finding it impossible to get this song out of my head. It's strange and familiar and dorky and sophisiticated all at once. I love it. I'm really looking forward to the avai...

Liam Finn is a name which really only brings to mind one thing. A bearded, piercing-eyed man bashing vigorously on a drumkit in a church in Dingle as if his life depended on it. It was his appearance on Other Voices that…
