I’m not sure my wife appreciates this playlist you’ve created for me this morning.

So…. I listened to Toad the Wet Sprocket today. 35 years … I still don’t get it. This Midnight Oil album is also not doing it for me, the album before this one is great… this one sounds like U2 did a musical.

I didn't hear any Spiderman references the last time I listened to Blue Sky Mine.

Midnight Oil is almost comically dour with their lyrics and imagery when compared with their poppy jangly sound.
It’s like REM crossing the melody and poppy-ness of “Shiny Happy People” with the lyrical content of “Losing My Religion” with a music video showing men in hazmat suits stacking bodies in one of those refrigeration trailers during Covid.
I can appreciate the songcraft but it’s not something I really want to think about while jamming out to some tunes.

While King of the Mountian from this album is a bop and I like BSM, I can't say its particularly uplifting.
But since we mentioned U2, it occurs to me that BSM might be the Aussie Joshua Tree
I know JT is a classic, but it boasts such joy inducing tunes as:
Mothers of the Disappeared - about kidnapped children;
Exit - which Bono has said is "My attempt at writing a story in the mind of a killer,";
Red Hill Mining Town - about a Mining Strike in the 80s; and
Running to Stand Still - about heroin addiction.
But then again - I'm also likely to rock out to Creeping Death by Metallica for fun.
Maybe I need some counseling.
