yeah I sound like Louis Burdett
Saw The Whitlams at Mundaring Weir Hotel last night. They were awesome, performing all the songs I could have wanted and a lot more, including You Sound Like Louis Burdett, Fondness Makes the Heart Grow Absent, Beauty In Me, No Aphrodisiac, I Met My Match, Charlie #2 (Buy Now Pay Later), Keep The Light On, Love This City, Blow Up The Pokies, The Last of the Midnight Visits, Year of the Rat, Made Me Hard, Royal In The Afternoon, I Make Hamburgers and Thank you (for loving me at my worst). Gough and I Will Not Go Quietly were encores.
True to form, Tim Friedman spent the entire gig drinking his way through a bottle of red wine. I think he may have been a little drunk towards the end, because he started getting quite talkative and forgot where he was in a song once or twice. There was dancing in the aisles and down the front and two girls jumped into the pool for a bottle of wine on a dare from Tim. A conga line later formed around the pool. "Push them in, push them in", Tim yelled.
Apparently the part of The Ease of the Midnight Visits where he talks about "like a big old, ugly tomcat perched on top of your side gate" is about being caught climbing over your ex-wife's side gate, falling off and breaking your leg yet while unable to reach your mobile phone. Beauty in Me (possibly my favourite song right now) is about a girl who was sat on the lawn outside a party in Glebe many years ago.
The drummer for the gig was a ring-in, because their usual drummer is touring with Missy Higgins (this will totally help validate an awesome idea I had, in which Missy and Tim do a duet or two).
Completely unrelated, all Australians should sign this petition.
