It\u2019s another one of those all-Aussie weeks. With KU basketball about to get hammered by the NCAA and our country as toxic as it has ever been, I\u2019m thinking about talking S into scrapping our lives here and moving to Australia so I can sit on the beach, listen to great music, and wait for COVID–19 to wipe out the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cSandwiches\u201d – Gordi. A gorgeous song, an ode to Sophie Payten\u2019s late grandmother.<\/p>\n
\u201cPull Apart Heart\u201d – Eliza & The Delusionals. Another banger from Eliza and her crew.<\/p>\n
\u201cSucker For Punishment\u201d – Alex Lahey. I\u2019m not tracking this super closely, but Lahey may be the first artist to appear on my Favorites of 2019<\/a> list to issue a new song. This is as fun and aggressive as her debut album of last year.<\/p>\n \u201cCombat\u201d – Hazel English. Although based in Oakland now, English recalls some of the American country influence on classic Australian pop on this beautiful track.<\/p>\n \u201cMonsters\u201d – Something for Kate. I never heard of this band before last week, but apparently they were a big deal in Australia in their heyday. Because of the video below, I dove into their music. Most of it was not for me, but I really enjoyed this song.<\/p>\n
