Something Quite Peculiar by Steve Kilbey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The Church are probably the best Aussie band and one of the best of all time, but I would only recommend Steve Kilbey’s autobiography to those who are already longtime fans.

During Kilbey’s high school debating-team days one of his opponents was an oily little spiv called Malcolm Turnbull, who would later go on to be one of Australia’s worst prime ministers. Turnbull was just as much of a wanker back then as he is now!

Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music by Rob Young

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Folk music (= volk/blood and soil)
vs.
Pop music (= populace/bread and circuses)

In some periods there was overlap between the two, however, as Rob Young shows in this chronicle of mainly British 1970s music.
