Song of the day

"The Minotaur", by The Drones. Let's big up some Australian content. We don't get to do that very often. (Not because there's nothing that's any good, only, and sadly, that we don't get to hear very much of it.) There is something very physical about this song. Brutal, perhaps, but it's a vulnerable brutality: there is life, hope and optimism sitting somewhere within the several walls of guitars. (And I love those guitars. There is something thrilling about them that I haven't been getting from "guitar rock" in many a long year.)
