Song title: It's Too Slow
Artist: Hoodoo Gurus
Year: 1996
Why I like this song:
Say what you want about the eighties: for me, it will forever be a golden age for Australian music. And my favorite of this era were these guys. So you can imagine my surprise and delight to find that they were still going in 1996 (proving that this revelatory year had plenty of surprises).
Whilst In Blue Cave has some decent songs, I however opted for this as being the best of this period: A song that was relegated to B-side status. Which is a baffling decision to me. Why was this gem shunted into some corner where it was unable to reach a wider audience? It certainly leaves some of the songs that did make it to In Blue Cave for dead and shows that for a veteran band, there was still some gas in the tank.
Still, I have previously mentioned that i am sucker for a motivational anthem and this is indeed the case here. It has been helpful to have around in moments of self doubt, informing me that, in some cases, if things aren't working out then jt's best to get out of it and to hell with the repercussions.
