Moo You Bloody Choir by Augie March isn’t being released until August 7 2007 so how can you say it had a criminally underrated reception?
It’s gonna be huge!!

ooh, the living end. they released a new album in 2006, actually. they are, well, the living end when it comes to punkbilly or whatever the kids are calling it these days.

there are tons more awesome bands coming out of australia these days but my typing finger got tired.

i have always wanted to write something about how different cities in different time periods seemed to have a kind of effervescent, group-madness effect when it came to music, some spore in the air that settled in the brains of local musicians and fed off a scene to create certain genres specific to time and place.

When you write \”that article,\” don\’t forget Montreal! Stars, Arcade Fire, Metric, and, like, someone from every band in BSS.
Like THIS article, too. My friend Alex who used to DJ with me was really into this Aussie band The Living End a while back–do you know of/like them?

Man, whatever happened to Alphaville anyway?

I’ll have to check out a few of these bands. Nice article.
