QC Music Blog discussion thread
Inlander:
Yeah exactly, you live there. I had to sit on an aeroplane for 20 hours, then get on another aeroplane for a further one-and-a-half hours, then sit in a bus for about five hours.
Basically I had to go to all that effort just to find one tiny corner of the world where there weren't any other Australians.
Inlander:
LISTEN TO THE WATERBOYS, YOU BASTARDS.
Trynant:
I like A Pagan Place (this is an understatement), giving This Is the Sea a listen.
The "Church Not Made With Hands" opening surprised me. I was going into listening to The Waterboys with no clue of what I would hear, and was at first turned off. But damn if it didn't grow on me.
I was going to say "The Big Music" was epic, but where would that place "Red Army Blues"?
Inlander:
Actually I'm just listening to This is the Sea now for the first time in ages. Somehow I'd completely forgotten that it had "Old England" on it, which is just a superb song by any measure - though a better version of it appears on the recording of the Glastonbury set released on the Live Adventures of the Waterboys compilation referred to in the blog post. Which incidentally is really, really worth getting if you find that you're liking the Waterboys.
Hljómalind:
The Waterboys played a wonderful set at Glasto on the Sunday afternoon last year, 21 years after their 1986 performance. It was raining like piss but no one cared, and they got the whole crowd to do a twirly dance.
It was good to see them get a mention in the QC blog, then - I was quite surprised, really - and I agree with most of the reviewer's comments. "Love Will Shoot You Down" is a standout track off their latest album (which, at Glastonbury, they dedicated to Tony Blair).
