the smiths song was short so this'll cover two songs. everything from this point on i've heard before, but still good songs. i liked that smiths song, and of course the cars are a classic new wave band.

Yep, and Bono also snippeted it twice in Brisbane, during Elevation and WOWY. Wish he'd kept snippeting it during Elevation rather than Kylie crap.
But he's so funny when he forgets the words...

okay, the toast was fine, but the usual half-inch of nutella I slapped on it was not.

I heard an indie punk band cover "My Best Friend's Girl"

Does anyone else here know Gotye's music?

Well, yeah, I suppose I'd prefer him to butcher crappy songs rather than good ones too.Though his complete lyrical failure on Zoo Station at Vertigo's opening night was awesome. "I'm ready, I'm ready for the ... ball and the bat/I'm ready for the ac-ro-bat". What?!
Love how it spawned "OMG THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT PLAYING TEH AKROBATZ" here too.

*reminds self never to take autistic brother to u2 concert* He will have a FIT if Bono fucks up the words. He'll probably TELL Bono the right ones

Know the name but that's it. Meant to be indie or something, right? I swear, the name makes me think of metalcore, for some reason.

Have you ever seen footage of Walk On from 20 September 2005? He has to get somebody to bring the lyrics on stage because he fails so badly!

Before I read that last part, I was thinking the same thing... !I suppose we'll just have to content ourselves with the assumption that they haven't forgotten the song exists entirely.
Beam me up, Scotty!! (preferably not with a reversed arse, if that's possible.)

... there's a band called The Buggles??
yeah, you've never heard of them? they were a one hit wonder. they were famous here because their hit, video killed the radio star, was the first video aired on mtv.

Oh Jeez. That is a pretty hard fail. And that song's only 5 years old (at that point)! i could see him forgetting Rejoice or something but...Jeez.

Damn it Bono COME ON.

Bono says Edge would have to meditate in a tree for a month to play it or something.
(Which I think was just code for "fuck, Acrobat? What's that ... oh, that song? Yeah, yeah we did that, that's right!")

I've seen it variously pigeonholed as Alternative, Rock and Pop, so who the hell knows?
Triple J likes him... I don't think there was any on that CD that you haven't listened to, since I only just got the rest of an album on iTunes. I'll email you something. The thing that impresses me besides the music itself, is that this guy plays everything himself and cobbles it together in a home studio...!
