one without the other and you just don't care


One of my favorite local Australian bands happens to be the Mess Hall, raw bluesy rock that draws you in within its eerie haze and steals your handbag. Annoyingly enough, they are constantly compared to the White Stripes out of the US. I would like to think if there were six Jack Whites on stage live at one time, they would all still struggle to match the energy of the Sydney duo. Even if the guitarist was in a wheelchair. Yeah, big call. Here's two tracks, one from their debut Notes from a Ceiling, and another from their second record, Devil's Elbow.

The Mess Hall - Buddy
The Mess Hall - Metal and Hair

Oh, and to all ye scurvy dogs. I give you a track from quirky electronic artist Metronomy. I get an image when listening to this one of an accordion wielding sailor with a doo-rag. You'll only understand by listening.

Metronomy - Black Eye/Burnt Thumb
