Dead Farmers
Spit/Shine
Pretty much every decent Dead Farmers song (ie. all of 'em) sound like they belong somewhere between the swamp and the train tracks. They throttle forward with a determined level of force, yet they also sulkily drag their feet with a fuck-da-world teenage attitude. Yeah, maybe it's a locomotive flying off course and crashing into the nearby mud flaps. That's not a metaphor or a euphemism, but if it was it would probably be the dirtiest one ever published here.
Spit/Shine is the ram-shackling grand finale track off the Sydney group's brilliant debut album Go Home, which is out now on vinyl (with mp3 download voucher) via R.I.P Society.

The biggest disappointments of 2008
Obama didn't pick Lil Wayne as his running mate, the total lack of new albums by Courtney Love and Ini Kamoze didn't beat down Girl Talk for not clearing his sample of Here Comes The Hotstepper.
Our favourite Australian/New Zealand artists of 2008

We went saw some awesome bands perform last Friday evening. We have collected together some words and some slightly 'unfantastic' photos to prove that it happened.
We are spoilt
Tonight there are more 'better than decent' shows going on in Sydney than ever before in the history of time. Shows featuring the likes of Batrider, Dead Farmers, The Stabs, Straight Arrows, Talons, Hand Me My Jetpack, Actor/Model and Tucker B's are all happening. Oh my.
No regrets. No no none at all.
In fact you can only just see the weekend from Wednesday, it's waving and jumping up and although you can't make out the facial expression, you know that it's smiling like a drunken idiot.
