Ok Ill quit picking on Canada.

I guess I should start on Australia.

Unlike Canada, whose disco drek etc. is entertaining, Australia presents me with a problem. A problem I believe is best represented by the Little River Band and their song "reminiscing" and by the general um, existence, of their local homeboy done all the toughies in Australia proud, Leigh Bowery.

Exhibit 1: The Little River Band. Reminiscing


Exhibit 2: Leigh Bowery


The problem here, is inconsistency.

Australia, and by extension, their music, runs the gamut between the truly truly amazing, to the truly truly awful. But not even like, ha ha Canada awful. Just awful. Take reminiscing for example. Parts of this song are absolutely horrendous. Starts out bad, gets decent, gets good and then gets all terrible again, heightening the disappointment. Like that time at coney island when i almost got decapitated by a phone line on this ill placed ride. I assumed the ride wasnt gonna be a big deal, got on and it was flying all over the place, was LOVING it, and then almost died on it. It was the worst kind of bummer.

Same with Leigh Bowery. Some of his schtick was real good- like real real good; then we have raw sewage and minty and ugh... Ill spare everyone the pain of minty. Not that Raw Sewage was much better. In fact, they stunk too. We also have his concentration camp stunt, the marrying the woman at the last minute despite being clearly and openly gay for so long (how very elton john of him).. I could go on. But i wont.

Because i believe my point is clear. Get consistent Australia! Either produce quality or don't. Because you can only hold on to ACDC for so long. One good band does not a continent make!
