5 Lovely Songs From The Olden Days In New Zealand

When it came to dweeby, jangly and cool, we had the Go Betweens and The Church.

New Zealand had this bunch.


Pyromaniac by The Verlaines


She Speeds by Straightjacket Fits


Leather Jacket by The Chills


Block of Wood by The Bats


And of course, the beautiful, Love Not Given Lightly by Chris Knox.

I'm cheering this!
If I had a turntable I'd be digging out my 12 inch of Not Given Lightly. There's not many tunes as hooky as that.
