From New Zealand to Canada and back again... This morning's email brought the welcome newsletter from the Flying Out team. If you didn’t already know, Flying Out is a gang of all that’s good and great in New Zealand music which means that yes, it’s a gang you want to be at least on nodding terms with. The new newsletter has plenty of top news, not least of which is that there are some Verlaines vinyl reissues coming along soon. So let me hear you sing Hallelujah all the way home… Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Also in the newsletter is a nod towards Vancouver band The Courtneys eponymous album with a link to their video for the song ‘90210’. 'Now hang on a minute' I said to myself as I clicked through to feast on the images of summer frolicking (and got all nostalgic for sunshine and warmth), ‘I know this song…’. And of course I do, for it was one of the stars of the 'CitR Pop Alliance Vol 3’ compilation that formed part of the excellent Vancouver Care Package I received back in May of this year. I can confirm that the rest of the album is every bit as fine. Check it out on the ubiquitous Bandcamp.
