Song of the day (Australia) - 146: The Saints

Day five of this series, and this one is an absolute no-brainer.

Song of the day (Australia) - 142: The Laughing Clowns

To celebrate the fact we became Australian last night, I'm going to be posting songs from 10 of my favourite Australian bands over the next week or so.

The Saints vs Billy Corgan

I'm listening to an MP3 of The Saints' album Live At Pig City. It's the one recorded back when Ed Kuepper and Chris Bailey getting back together - to celebrate the launch of a book, even! Wow, didn't know the press could still excite such emotion - a couple of years ago, replete with a hard-nosed brass section clearly schooled by Kuepper to cut shapes of oblong and trapezoid in the balmy night air.
