New year's greetings

I've got a little place to myself up on Stony Ridge
I got it made in the shade
I sleep in the afternoon
Leave my bed unmade
No-one breathing down my neck, black coffee and a shave
I whistle a little of whatever AM radio plays
As for letters and provisions...
Well it's a long walk to the corner shop
In the January heat, it's a big decision
To either think of you, or not

I send you a New Year's Kiss
And I hope you will remember me like this

I got two good arms, one bent leg,
One weekly social security cheque
I can make an honest dollar, but to be quite honest
I can't keep track of where it went
I've got a good black dog, so I don't need a phone
He can smell bad weather coming in his old dog bones
I don't need no Eyewitness News, no Seven Eleven
No Southern Fried Chicken, no Man from Prudential
To give me good times on easy terms
No Eyewitness News

And in the evening when the skyline is cut in two
By a figure resembling you
Wet matches won't light, and I double take
Wind shudders to a halt, main roads are washed out
And all around, as far as the night can see
Is just the gaping lack of you and me

I hear you're riding a new horse in the sun
Sure hope those Sydney shoeshine boys don't take you for a run
I still want you back, when it's all said and done

Let the sky roll back/Let the ground give way
The wind has turned around/The seasons upside down
To either think of you/Or not
To either think of you/Or not

"Heart"

No, not the American powerpop/hardrock (?) band, but an album issued in 1972 on Motown. I bought this on vinyl about 25 years ago in Maastricht for 1 Dutch guilder (about 0,5 $) thinking I could do no wrong with such little amount of money. And well, I did no wrong ! This album is full of wonderful melodic songs. There are two members : Bob Barron and (lead singer) Carl Silva.

I assume this has never been released on cd, so I ripped it from the LP. I can't find much info on this album on the internet. Maybe some of you guys know more ? And tell me if you like it as much as I do.

Triffids - Goodbye little boy

This was the first single from the black swan, here presented with the three extra tracks on the cd-single.

Note that this version is different from the black swan version : it was remixed by Stephen Street and the lyrics were censored (Jill is so damn tired instead of so fu*in' tired). Must admit that I prefer the album version.

1. Goodbye little boy
2. Go home Eddie
3. Shell of the man
4. You minus me

Day of my ascension

On the Triffids forum, people are pretty pleased about the result of Australian elections. You can read about it here : http://thetriffids.com/forum/index.php?topic=1781.0

I don't know much about Australian politics, so I won't say anything about it.

As the topic on the Triffids forum is called "on the day of my ascension", I thought to let you hear a cover version of the song The day of my ascension (originally from Love of will, Dave's only solo album). This one is from "sans soleil", a covers/demos album by Victor Krummenacher, maybe known to you from Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker. FYI, the pressing of "sans soleil" is limited to 500 copies. Enjoy it !
