Songs I Missed From 2009
It's sort of sad to think how many amazing songs you don't know are even out at any one time. Since the demise of WOXY I'm a bit more out of the loop than I should be! I caught The Middle East opening for Mumford And Sons earlier this year and was very impressed. "Blood" is a slow burn song with an amazing pay off. I've heard Empire Of The Sun's Phoenix-esque "Walking On A Dream" many times on CD101 but they never said who it was and I always forgot to look it up. So here they are, done up blog-style! Strangly enough, they both appear on a soundtrack together for a 2009 Australian film (not ALL that odd I suppose since they are both Aussie bands) called Accidents Happen. It stars Geena Davis, and although it's a bit depressing, it's a really good film... and both the songs are used to great effect in it.
