The Smashing Tunes Thread (Part 1)

I’ve been listening to little else but these lads and Tom Petty in recent weeks, TFKers that I’d have a bit of respect for have turned me on to them and I’ve given them a chance, great stuff indeed.

Ya, kinda addictive

FAO War on Drugs fans.

Kurt Vile has a new album coming out with Courtney Barnett. Kurt n’ Courtney, if you will.

The first single is a fine thing:

This could be a gamechanger, how could this possibly not be amazing?

Courtney Barnett is awesome.

The video for this is wonderful. It’s shot at Gougane Barra in Cork.

I get the tom petty in his individual work. Not on WOD.

Edit: just listening to him there solo. He has some beautiful stuff.

Decent song, hot singer, Gougane Barra is beautiful, but that video is a pile of shit and doesn’t highlight half enough of it.

Tom Waits, Rain Dogs - A 10 out of 10 album for me.

It’s a funny and quite disappointing thing that an awful lot of people of my vintage think that the Stranglers were a one hit wonder band, and in typical fashion that one hit wasn’t that great at all compared to some of their other stuff.

Golden Brown ? Always the Sun?

They are still both very good tunes - but yeah, some of their early punk/ Doors like stuff is fantastic.
