hmpfso in love with some of the songs from Midnight Oil's early 1980s EPs - which, along with the debut album, are the only of their original releases I'm still missing - that it's a little scary.
I think I will have to hunt down the EPs at last. Which, at least in one of the cases, looks to be expensive. Arrgh.
2010 will be my 20-year Midnight Oil anniversary, btw. Wow. There's no other, comparable musical constant in my life.
Song I've just now become a bit obsessive about:
Blossom & Blood - this is about Hiroshima, if you can believe it. I'm not sure if there was ever another band that could make songs full of atomic angst even half as catchy, and, dare I say, danceable(!)
Song I obsessed about yesterday:
Hercules - another nuclear protest song. I find Rob Hirst's energetic drumming and singing(?) in the background endlessly endearing. Look at him! Such a happy drummer. He looks like he's having the time of his life.
ETA: That these guys fit my emotional needs perfectly when I was thirteen probably says a lot about my youth...
