Every Day It's the Blues, Period. - a lyric from a song on EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY

photo by Kristyn Jones.

Every day it’s a scramble for your mind

you wake up and try to get a toe on it

I don’t mean a finger – I don’t wanna play

I mean a toe

so I can get to my feet and go

every day it’s a test of what you believe

what you are - who you’ve been

every day its a dive to reach

what you were- who you’ve been

every day it’s the blues, period.

every day it’s a subterranean feel

what’s the opposite of a dive?

into the dangerous pool I climb

every day it’s a joke, I have to get it

I have to listen for it- the beat

I have to watch for it

I have to be open and shut

every day it’s a lie I’m bein’ told

I know it from yesterday

I got tricked into believing

I tricked myself

every day it’s the blues, period.

Just for a stir. Un petit jeu de mots

The period (also known as a full stop, especially in British English) is a punctuation mark primarily used to indicate the end of a sentence. It appears as a single dot on the bottom line of the text ( . ), and it comes immediately after the last word of the sentence without a space."

ONE MILLION YEARS DC

Starts with a Kinksy groover sketching a 21st century populist tyrant who coasts in power on waves of public resentment at those on the lowest rungs of the ladder (He Was A Sore Winner). Sweeps across a sci fi terrain with nods to songs in the sand at the end of the world (Pop Ruins) and nods to the ties that bind in the underground communities (Comrade Of Pop and Where Did All The Freaks Go?). Songs about intense, long relationships, defunct technology that didn’t answer back, severe social status definition (I’m Not Just Any Nobody), people wandering through your mind as if it was a garage sale, the anxiety of the long running showman (wide open to the elements again) and ends with a song that’s “a little bit Merle Haggard and a little bit Samuel Beckett”. " Edith Grove! Powis Square! 56 Hope Road! Petrie Terrace!.. The Roxy! The Odeon! Apollo! Palais! Olympia! The Whisky! Detroit Grande!” Pop Ruins!"

ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS?

ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS? (The title comes from the chorus of “Song Of Life” ) is a classic rock’n’roll album. Classic if you lived through what has become known as ”the classic rock era” as it rolled out new and even broke onto the beachhead and morphed into punk. That’s the direction Dave Graney and Clare Moore have always been coming from. They have spent their lives schooled by and immersed in rock ‘n’ roll culture. Neither attended higher education and they dived in deep and kept swimming. From the Moodists through the Coral Snakes /White Buffaloes to the mistLY This is an album with their band, Dave Graney and the mistLY. Stuart Perera has played guitar with them since 1998 and Stu Thomas on bass since 2004. MARCH 2019 ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS? 2019 album out on Compact Disc - available here via mail order...

FEARFUL WIGGINGS

2014 solo album from Dave Graney. *****"If I've learnt anything in my years of writing about music it's that if you are going to do anything of worth in this tough game, you better have your own thing. Today's generic is easily replaced by tomorrow's. And yet you need to be flexible, to follow wherever the songs demand. In the case of this, only the second credited as a solo album among 30 or so Graney releases, it's a curious yet welcoming lane he walks you down, with acoustic guitars, not much percussion, vibes, smooth sounds. At the end of it you feel like you've awoken from a strange yet pleasant summer's dream. As shot by Luis Bunuel. It ranges from off-kilter reveries (A Woman Skinnies Up a Man, The Old Docklands Wheel) through to the softly seductive (How Can You Get Out of London) and the downright arch (Look Into My Shades, Everything Is Great In The Beginning.) This is music that is neither folk, nor blues, nor country, but it's all Graney, somewhere out to the left field beyond Lee Hazlewood's raised eyebrow. It's astringent on the tongue but sweetens in the telling." Noel Mengel Brisbane Courier Mail

Dave Graney and Clare Moore - In A Mistly

Classic Jewel Case Compact Disc. A rock album. Guitars, drums, bass and vocals. Some vibes and keys –oh and some saxophone. Four songs recorded with the mistLY- i.e. the band with Stu Thomas on bass and Stuart Perera on guitar and eight songs on which Dave Graney and Clare Moore play all instruments. And three songs on which Dave Wray (occasionally Frank Bennett) plays sax. “This is the album we meant to do before Everything Was Funny. Restrictions on movement around Melbourne delayed it, but we kept the songs back that we wanted to play with the mistLY. ”

Dave Graney and Clare Moore - EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY

This is the fifth official album release (out of roughly 30- plus a dozen others) credited to Dave Graney and Clare Moore. Their last studio release was ONE MILLION YEARS DC in 2019. “funny like Warren Beatty funny…” “I liked it-it was funny!” “if there was somethin’ funny goin’ on that’s what I tuned into and took away that was my take away…” A wild and willful yet very focused set of songs. All instruments played by Dave Graney and Clare Moore. Produced by Dave Graney and Clare Moore. “I don’t need a pandemical lockdown to happen to write some songs. Same way I never read any”war poets”. If they need a war to write something it’s not really worth it!” Dave Graney

ONE MILLION YEARS DC

ONE MILLION YEARS DC . This is their second album for 2019, coming hot on the smoking wheels of ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS? That was a “band” album - a “mistLY” album and this is an album of songs. The focus was on the eleven songs. ONE MILLION YEARS DC Pop sounds from the end of the world. How is it ending for you? ONE MILLION YEARS DC. A vivid, rich and sparkling collection of songs. Reflective, searching and personal. ___________________________________________________________ ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS?
