Obituary: Word Gets Around


Original video located here. Accessed 21st July 2017

Song title: Word Gets Around

Artist: Hummingbirds

Year: 1989

Why I like this song:

R.I.P. Simon Holmes

Its doubtful that this band will ever get recognition they deserve: at a time when the walls between mainstream and alternative music were beginning to break down, these guys began drawing attention to the Australian alternative scene.
It is therefore unfortunate that they will most likely never be mentioned in the upper echelon of Australian bands. I mean, how can you refuse a pure pop gem such as this? 
So here's to you Simon. Rest assured that your song did reach an audience and will not be forgotten.
