They didn’t do much else as good as this cover of (the Thane Russal version of) Security. Like too many Australian bands of this era they have a few really nice songs and a lot of pish and half ruined tracks. Shape I’m In, and All I Wanna Do are good though.
Security Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons Boys Will Be Boys The Choirboys Oh no. This is turning into Ultimate Aussie Beer Mate Songs Volume 4. I need a palette cleanser.
Run to Paradise The Choirboys What the fuck am I doing?
Take Me Back Noiseworks This reminds me of working in factories.
Man of Colours Icehouse Wow. This is some garbage.
Electric Blue Icehouse This song reminds me of netball.
We Can Get Together Icehouse This was where I was going before I took that dull interview + Underground Lovers detour.
Losin’ It Underground Lovers Church Guy mentioned them in some hokey interview, and I kinda like this disco/ish song.
Oh, they have a song called Rushall Station. Rushall Station certainly deserves a song. Probably a better one, though.
The Unguarded Moment The Church Oh right. They did this one, and that chocolate bar one.
They kind of seem like Boys Next Door + Pub Rock + Modern Lovers, or something.
Reptile The Church I think I always assumed The Church was some kind of half-arsed goth band, and never paid much attention. Even their familiar songs aren’t associated with them in my head—until now.
I knew the Augie March cover of this, but didn’t think much of it. I think much more of this version (and not much of Augie March anymore, for no related reason).
Possible Theme For A Future TV Drama Series Mental as Anything I’m not adverse to cutesy Oceanic schlager, but not so keen on most of the Mentals contributions. This is okay though, though I was expecting a bit more from the actual jingle. Could be a nice cover if that part was replaced.
