leaving a good-looking corpse
According to the Corner Hotel's website, Died Pretty are doing a final tour of Australia, stopping by the Corner Hotel on September 14. Shame, really. I didn't mind their last two albums - 1998's using my gills as a roadmap (the name alone was worth something, but there was a great track called radio, too), and 2000's slightly more electronically influenced Everyday Dream. They hit the peak of their popularity, though, in 1991 with Doughboy Hollow, which you might've even heard of. I've got most of their stuff (6 albums), but I'm missing the first two albums, and one or two in-between ones. I'll consider this a reminder. Oh, and there was that compilation a few years back, which had a pretty decent cover of Ed Kuepper's (or the Laughing Clowns if you want to get into specifics) Eternally Yours.
You can get their stuff from Citadel Records - which reminds me, I'd been meaning to order those other two Jackson Code albums for a while now...

I may not (so far) run the kind of blog that posts social conscience linkage - other friends seem to have it covered better than I could manage (yes, I'm aware that's no excuse), but this doesn't mean that I don't care about the State of ThingsTM.

Well I got the last two; picked up _using my gills ..._ really cheap at a clearance thing along with a lot of other great (and not so great stuff) a couple of years back, which i quite liked, not so sure about _everydaydream_, though it's pleasant enough. I doubt very much they'll come through here, but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I loved the band in the eighties when I thought they were the best live band in the country - explosive and unpredictable. The early singles Out of the Unknown and Mirror Blues, the EP Next to Nothing and the debut album Free Dirt were the best for my money. I thought they went really soft after Doughboy Hollow. I hope Chris welsh is on drums this tour - he's one of the best drummers I've seen.
