5. The Clean - Anything Could Happen MC Bad Genius really loved this, wasn't familiar with them but have been blasting
4. The Beths - Straight Line Was a Lie Loonerty saw them live, one of the better band t-shirts I've ever bought
3. Split Enz - Time for a Change myblueroan I was raised on my parents' Split Enz vinyls but I don't think they had this one. Nice track.
2. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Death Comes from the Sky Riviat I had a friend who used to blast them all the time. Not a bad new track.
1. La De Das - Gonna See My Baby Tonight Fossie 32 one of my dad's favourite bands from the time, though I'd never really listened. Good time!

B. Stan Walker - Maori Ki Te Ao Callums_Guns Given everything else is kinda personal I should've nominated Dragon, as my dad once ended up in a brawl with them, and will always mutter about them whenever they're brought up. I remember when Marc Hunter died, my dad boasting about how he whooped him. He's prouder of that story than the time he rose to the occasion against Jeff Fenech, anyway.

Bob Dylan said this was the greatest written song. Written by Jimmy Webb.

Yes. But you need to hear Jimmy Webb sing it. And for that matter...all the hits he wrote.
A songwriter's songwriter I guess.
He helped define the sound of an era amd wrote most of his hits at a very young age.
Saw Jimmy Webb perform. A small venue in Prahran. Just him and piano. He did MacArthur Park, The Moon's A harsh Mistress,by the Time I get to Phoenix..classic after classic. And a world away from Glen Cambell. Not that Glen wasn't a great hit maker. But if you want subtlety and nuance, give this a try.



Galveston is also on Jimmy's album 10 easy pieces. It's about a young man serving in the Vietnam War - missing home and his love.

Jimmy's version of Galveston is very slow and sad.
Would love to see him live.

In 22nd Place is Kiwi Kids theme / Kiwi Kids (R Rockin' It) by The Starbugs with 3 votes & 0 Billies (21), nominated by @BFew

Is the first time someone has entered 2 consecutive song contest rounds with the one nomination?

Not sure how to split the 3 votes up, as 3 is not divisible by 2.
Unlike the zero billies which can be allocated evenly to each entry.

 

[myblueroan]

This won't do.
There's no complaining in SC.
