Strange
Days have found us
Luvin
U Is Easy - Confidence Man, from 2022, their album Tilt.
Why
Won't You Make Up Your Mind - Tame Impala, from their 2010 album
Inner Speaker. We say "they" but mainly it's Kevin Parker
doing most everything. It's cool.
Ambergris
- Died Pretty, from their 1985 EP Next To Nothing.
A
couple of reissues
The
Living Kind - Ups And Downs, from 1986. We found it it on a new
best-of collection, Stained Glass Memories, which came out in April
2025.
The
Big Beat - Young Modern, a 1979 release. It's also on a 2023 best-of
set titled It's Automatic.
A
battle of the bands, featuring Sunnyboys and the Party Boys
Round
one
Sunnyboys
- Alone With You, a 1981 single from their debut album, titled
Sunnyboys. Sunnyboys were from New South Wales and were led by
brothers Jeremy and Peter Oxley.
The
Party Boys - He's Gonna Step On You Again, from 1987. They started in
1982, there was no set lineup. The song was a hit in 1971 for some
guy named John Kongos.
Round
two
Sunnyboys
- Show Me Some Discipline, from 1984, the album Glory Days.
The
Party Boys - Life In the Fast Lane, the song by the Eagles. When we
said the Party Boys had no set lineup, that was because it was a
fluid bunch of musicians who all jobs playing in other bands, such as
Joe Walsh, in 1985, who stuck around to contribute to an album titled
You Need Professional Help.
We're
in the weeds now
Somebody
To Love - the Velvet Underground, from New South Wales, doing the

compilation, Driving You Insane.

Will Come - Tol-Puddle Martyrs, a 1967 single. We found it on the
2020 compilation Lsd: A Freakin’ Beat Backlash! Volume Two.

1967, doing a commercial promoting bowling. The band had future
Little River Band frontman Glenn Shorrock singing, and Terry Britten
on guitar and writing songs.

Not Good Enough - Skyhooks, from their 1975 album Ego Is Not A Dirty
Word.
