8 Every Little Counts

Sounding like a very drunk Barney, but also sounds like the rest of the band are having fun recording this one.

this is the middle near where i work, and half my family is at one end of the line and half the family is at the other. cannot stress how much this new rail tunnel is going to really simplify my getting around without needing a car. so close now. #MelbourneMornings

9 Broken Promise

Into the album proper now, it's at #9 but is a 4/5 star in my library. it's been a tough album to rank. the last minute superb, the first couple just a little lackluster. big lyrical themes emerge.

one last 90s near miss for the night - the pub band that almost made it with a massive cover, and they really hit this one with everything. an 11/10 cover

90s near miss of the night, my friend the chocolate cake's album 'brood' was another cd that barely left the tray after it came in the mail. loved that student media time. i did later re-buy this one on the digitals.. and i'm still plugging it 30+ years later

this song, a beautiful love affair

from the 'Dirty Boots' CD single, the first one i ever bought in digipack rather than the jewel case. that probably swayed me to part with the $10 or so. still worth it for this version, the intro is fantastic.

10 State of the Nation - CD Bonus track

I really like New Order but can't really say much about this one; even my music collection has this at 0 plays on Substance 1987. Nice to get it out of the way as I don't really consider this one on the album proper.
