The Church, Cows
I figured this was as good a way of starting this off as any, with a link to a free mp3 of a newish track by the Church. If you don't know the Church, they're a great, underrated band from Australia, most famous for Under the Milky Way, a late-80s hit (you know it). The track here, Till the Cows Come Home is a great little song, a bit atypical for them, mostly acoustic, somewhat goofy. The Church have never been aclaimed for their humour, though it's there if you want to find it. I saw them twice in Toronto, a city the Church hate, back in '88 and '90. (The band has expressed disdain for Toronto in a couple of interviews, citing the too-cool mentality that does permeate Toronto at times). During the first show in '88, the humour from the band was dry, and maybe a little black. Much sneering at the audience shouting out for Milky Way, asking someone in particular to leave and offering to pay him to leave.
