Song of the day – 659: Talulah Gosh

Song of the day – 659: Talulah Gosh

I loved them because they understood that boy-boy rock and practising too much and acting all serious and sullen on stage was absolute rot.

Song of the day – 601: Heart Beach

Maybe that’s why I’m increasingly turning to Tasmania. I know what it’s like to be ignored.
