It's been a week, one seriously crazy week, since I arrived home from Denver for the big MOGtiply family reunion, with the Monolith Music Festival on the side. I made a few mental notes, but I've been staggering through my towering workload of late, and it's just now that I feel that I can get in enough time to put 0's to 1's and write a review. First, some background. Back in May, I had just received my stimulus money when a few of us talked about meeting in Denver to ... MORE

It's No Reason
Crocodile skin water, city shadows waitPut your head into your hands, the ending is so great
Take a ride to sundown, buy a ticket home
Take all the things I've bought you, leave all the rest alone
Marble skins turn human, people fade to gray
Put your head into my hands, we'll make them go away
As you're crying softly, you won't ever be disturbed
Red on pink, the sun will sink, have you even heard? And the colors take me down
It's no reason to be sad
And you leave w... MORE

When I was growing up, Journey was a big hit with me, but it was before the band changed so much. The album "Future" was the last album that really interested me from them. Sorry but when they added Steve Perry, I just was not on board. I loved the guitar work of Neil Schon from the beginning, but for me, Steve Perry changed that band way too much. Good for them because they did what they had to to be successful, but I couldn't handle his vocals. It might upset some people... MORE

An unguarded moment
(12)
The Church were way ahead of their time, although they have lost me at times along the way with their prog rock explorations this is classic power pop that still sounds great.

It's Sunday, it's Easter, and not everyone is happy in the world. But the sun is shining, it's spring, and there is a new video by the Church. People can get twisted up over shit and push out ugliness, or they can just forget about it and stop the ugliness. You can make a choice to leave it be. You could do that, Keith, if you wanted to. Easy, baby. You don't have to act so hard.Easy, now. You don't have to be like that.Hear me say that, down the line, or just in your mind... MORE

As I wind down the final videos to 100, I wanted to be sure I hit some of most favorite tracks, and this certainly qualifies. As an album, The Church's 1990 "Gold Afternoon Fix" LP was a major disappointment after "Starfish", which featured their worldwide hit "Under The Milky Way". But there was one great thing about "Gold"; it contained a song that I have literally listened to thousands of times since 1990 - "Metropolis". To me, "Metropolis" is The Church's perfect mom... MORE

To follow up on Teresa's post from yesterday, here's some more Australian rock bands that had nothing to do with Men At Work:
The Church - Tantalized: A lovely slice of mid-80's psychedelia, and I did so love the fashion back then. Paisley shirts were all the rage.
The Saints - (I'm) Stranded: The Australian contribution to first-wave punk.

Can I tell you about my favorite album to work to? I bought this when I was 12 or 13, and hated it. Then when I was 16 I gave it another chance and have ever since have had it on loop when I do my painting. If you've ever seen my stuff, it is rather fitting. Funny thing about this album, ever since high school my friends who were punk, goth, skinhead, hippie whathaveyou...they all loved it and bought it too. In fact, I had 3 roommates over the course of time and th... MORE

As I get older, it is more difficult to stay up late on a school night. I always pay for my enjoyment by being completely knackered the whole next day. Sometimes it is worth it and sometimes it isn't. Last night was a very late night indeed. I went to see a fantastic concert by The Church, an Australian group that has been around for a long time now. The opening act was Rob Dickerson who was formally the front man to the group The Catherine Wheel. He has been out o... MORE

I was very excited about seeing The Church later this month, so excited that I even made this for the show. But now things are slowing a bit with various factors taking hold of me: the high ticket price suddenly bothers me; it being on a weekday is making me sleepy already (yes I have to get up buck ass early for work); a hardcore fan telling me their recent shows have been "okay" and the consecutive disappointments of bands past their prime that I have been seeing the pas...

No Bio for The Church? Well.. The Church is an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1980. Initially linked in with neo-psychedelic acts of the period, their music later became largely defined by the interplay of guitarists Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes coupled with the abstract lyrics of bassist/singer Steve Kilbey. Their debut album, Of Skins and Heart (1981), earned them their first radio hit "The Unguarded Moment". They were originally signed to EMI's Parl... MORE
