9/14/23.
The Australian music scene has been strong for the past 15 years. From "dolewave" to driving post-punk to punk, many of my favorite bands have come from down under.
Soft Covers (Melbourne, Australia) is one of the best new Australian bands I've heard in a while. Listen, and you might not think they sound much different from Go Get Mum, The Stroppies or Boomgates. And you know what, you might be partly right. But those vocals, melodies and hooks are just astounding. "The Real Housewives of Porpoise Spit" is one of my favorite songs of 2023, and "Every Week" sounds like it could be an early Chills song (or The Bats/Minisnap: Kaye Woodward!!).
This is being released by Brisbane-based label Little Lunch Records (they also released the excellent LP from Renovator's Delight).

The Stroppies - Levity
The Stroppies – Levity
The Stroppies surgió como el proyecto paralelo de algunos miembros de Dick Diver, Boomgates y The Stevens, pero al final, el hermano pequeño ha terminado comiéndose al grande. Y es que, mientras todas esas bandas, que han sido buque insignia del nuevo jangle-pop australiano, llevan años sin editar material, The Stroppies se han hecho con una discografía de lo más sólida. Algo que los ha llevado a…

How much of Mike's assholery towards Will is just irritation that Will knows him better than anyone, can see through his bullshit better than anyone, and that annoys Mike because he wants to keep up this pleasant facade of heterosexual happiness but it keeps being thwarted by his best friend and his bowl cut

The Darcy Family Album: Volume X
Still with the Darcys today (I had a lot of catching up to do with them), and it's time for a birthday get-together!
Eliza has invited her sister Martha, who has brought her sometime-boyfriend James with her. No one invited Grace the Stroppy Stray - she just showed up of her own accord.
That greeting kiss seems to have sealed the deal for James!
Grandma Mary is also here, eschewing her reclusive lifestyle for once.
Thanks to granddad Fitzwilliam's dedication to the cause - despite his creaking back - Agnes masters walking, just in time!
Aunt Georgiana is also here, and bizarrely, James has decided that she is the girl for him too! (Although they do have a history.)
While he reflects rather soberly on the unexpected turns that his love life has taken within the space of only an hour, his two paramours (not forgetting Olivia and Henrietta too) settle down together for a friendly game of chess.
Frankly, it's all a bit of a relief when the time comes to blow out some candles!
Younger twin Agnes actually goes first.
~ Aries 8 / 5 / 10 / 1 / 2
~ Adventurous / Grumpy / No Sense of Humour
~ OTH: Games
~ Favourite Colour(s): Lilac
And then Lewis is up.
~ Scorpio 10 / 5 / 4 / 2 / 7
~ Bookworm / Perfectionist / No Sense of Humour
~ OTH: Science
~ Favourite Colour(s): Olive Green
Well, it seems that one of the few things they share - other than a birthday - is a humourless disposition!
Isabel would like everyone to know that she is there too!
Some angry washing up from Lewis.
Beat it, kid.
So he does - and goes to play with his little sister.
Knowing that her grandma is some kind of alienologist, Agnes is keen to find out whether they really have ray guns?
No, Georgiana! I'm with Martha - not best pleased at all with this romantic development! (Although how she can see what's going on from around a corner, I do not know.)
