Explorations: After the Gold Rush
Original video located here. Accessed 9th August 2019
Song title: After the Gold Rush
Artist: Neil Young
Year: 1970
Why I like this song:
Recently I've been discovering the music of one Neil Young.
Those who know me will know that I take great pride in my musical tastes: I care little for genre and will gladly play anything that, in my mind, sounds awesome. So perhaps it is fitting that I should eventually come to Neil Young: A guy who has jumped from proto-grunge, country, blues, hard-rock and back again.
Personally I previously knew Neil Young through his latter day material: Downtown, Rockin' in the Free World and being the Godfather of Grunge. I've also heard his 1990 album Ragged Glory and thought it was superb (as well as being more than capable of standing alongside the grunge albums of the early nineties).
But Neil's fans maintain his 70's material is his best so I had a look.....

Choon of the Month: For Everyone
Original video located here. Accessed 26th July 2019
Song title: For Everyone
Artist: Jordie Lane and Yirrmal
Year: 2019
Why I like this song:
These past couple of years have seen numerous First Nations artists. Not a bad thing by any stretch but I can't help but notice that many of them are falling over themselves to curse the whitefella....
That being said, rare is the First Nations artist that would sing a song about unity. Rarer still is the one that would do it with a whitefella.
But we have this that does indeed come across as honest and calls for action. It even sells the notion that action is a possibility which is indeed a feat by itself.

A song that represents 1999: The last year of my teens, the last year of the decade and the realization one is in dire need of a fresh start.
