Musical Interlude
Liam Finn, as mentioned below by Dunedin, is the son of Neil Finn. Our copy of I'll be Lightning has circ'ed 17 times. I ordered the next album, Fomo, which releases this fall.
Off the first album.
Liam and the rest of his family were part of the 7 Worlds Collide concerts in Kiwi-land. Neil Finn invited musicians to Auckland to collaborate. The second album from 2009, The Sun Came Out, features songs and performances by several well-known musician types. A lesser known Kiwi dude is Don McGlashan.
I really like the whole double album of Sun. There is a neat tune by the bassist from Wilco, John Stirratt. This one is by Johnny Marr and Jeff Tweedy, Too Blue.
Well done, thanks Gerard. It is the duty of every New Zealander to promote NZ whenever possible. The Finn family are great.
ReplyDeleteThe Rugby World Cup starts here in a couple of weeks, so hopefully NZ will feature more. Dunedin
