I heard this song this morning for the first time in a while and it’s been in my head ever since. It’s such a great thing. That brass! Great vocals from Malcolm Black and Annie Crummer! And the words are good, and often surprising: “There’s a hole in my well-being, it’s so big you could drive a truck right through …”

Anyway, thought I’d share this 80s gem for others to enjoy too 🥰

The Beths - well, 2 of the band - did a live acoustic session in the Radio NZ studio and it’s excellent! Includes some chat and an unreleased song about the 2023 Auckland floods.

A bit of a timeline cleanser - a fun video of The Beths recording their song Metal. It makes me like them even more!

Apparently this song irritates some politicians, such a mystery why 🤔
