Whitlams for free

I was sitting here this morning feeling not-in-the-mood for any of the music in my "library" here at work and thinking it was time for something new when someone left a pile of CDs on the table by the door. It's The Whitlams and The Sydney Symphony Live in Concert. Apparently the CD came free in the Sunday Telegraph a few weeks ago. I like the Whitlams, and I saw them live once on the River Stage in Brisbane and thought they were great (and I have this vague notion that once upon a time I sort-of-knew someone who was dating the drummer, but I can't for the life of me remember who), so I was rather stoked and am enjoying it so far! It's queer though - like Whitlams meet brass band.

When fondness makes the heart grow absent

I gotta find an orbit a little closer to the ground

When fondness in my heart is absent

I'm in awe of the sabotage within
