Dirty Three - "Indian Love Song"

Here is another song from my favourite Dirty Three album, their self titled second album from 1995. We had previously posted another track "Better Go Home Now", which is as stunning as this one. Dirty Three are an Aussie instrumental band, and quite different from the typical instrumental band - if there is such a thing. They consist of a guitarist, a drummer and a violinist - but that's where the difference ends.... they are not some pretentious avant-garde jazz trio or even experimentalists - they are an indie rock band with a range of influences. Lots of distortion (mainly from the violin) and some Eastern melodies as well. "Indian Love Song" may be over ten minutes long but it still seems to end too soon. This is a 'must-own' album!!! Believe me.

Romantica - "How To Feel"

In 2009 Romantica played a few dates at Austin's SXSW festival, as they did most years. But this time they found themselves with a day to spare, after a recording session in Nashville fell through. So they decided to stay in Austin that day and attempt to write and record an album in one day. They not only achieved their goal, but by the sound of it, they had to have surpassed their expectations. The result is a great Alt Country album with an even better album title 'Control Alt Country Delete.' The track "How To Feel" has become one of the most played and one of the most loved songs on Bitter FM. Control Alt REPEAT!

Dean & Britta - "Forever"

Is this the greatest duet love song?
It was a rhetorical question - but after just listening to this song again, I'm actually going to answer it..... YES!
