Orright, so I’ve gone from Earworm of the Week back to Friday Earworm. My blog, my rules.
You have to admit, the psychedelic-mushroom munching-hillbilly-slightly creepy and scary but hilarious vid for this song goes really well with the events of the week just gone.
And I love this quote from an old interview:
“When my relatives ask, ‘What have you been doing with yourself?’, and I tell them I’ve been playing in a country band, a grimace comes over their faces,” he says, “and they pretend to be supportive.”
Probably the best quote from an interview with a musician EVER. Thanks for introducing us to it.
psychoBilly yee haaaaaaaa!
Melbourne artist Spook James 1980′s The Rubber Room defined it for me. there’s a video too, and yes they wear straightjackets.
see you at The Union.
Wagons, on the last night of their last tour, at the Theatre Royal in Castlemaine has (despite how sick the Bloke and I were on the night) made my list of best gigs ever. I luff him.
Have you downloaded the pattern from mixtape for making your own Henry Wagons doll yet?

??!!? *Goes off to google it
Marshall-Stacks, see you there!
Blue milk – His family are a Name in Classical music in SA. (Not Wagons. His real name.) But I think all of us who have gone through the being in bands thing can identify!
Humph. Henry Wagons doll v. underwhelming if you frequent makers and their blogs. (Basically a calico pillow with a decal on the front.) Still, Nick Cave never had a doll, did he? That’s a whole other level of fandom. If he had, it would have been one of those scary pale Edwardian numbers with eyelids that open and shut (BY THEMSELVES…)
‘Nick’ and ‘doll’, can not be mentioned in same sentence with adding ‘nose’ and ‘Barbie’.
drat – withOUT adding his nose is just like Barbie’s, so that’s a doll for him.
Yes it is a most clever clip and just the sort of thing I would love to show to a nervous aunt.
I am glad now that I know what an “ear worm” is, I previously thought it was something out of Star Trek or that they used them in advertising. I suppose that’s more a “thought-worm”.
Iggg, all this talk of wriggling, writhing beige worms at bed time… positively gothic.
