You don’t need to have a special talent to make baked beans on toast, neither to write a pop song and singing from beginning to end “I’ve got a feeling” but you have to be beautiful.

But you need the talent and THE special touch to cook “un buon piatto di pasta al dente,” that a real Italian likes, and to write good music.  It seems though there is no space for beauty in good music.  So try this.  Fry a 1:5 mixture of early stages of “New Order” and “Faith and the Muse” in a pan and add parsley.  Then in a separate bowl boil water, and with a pinch of salt and some olive oil, boil “Sisters of Mercy” and a little bit of an empty industrial rusty box for around ten minutes.  Once ready mix with the previous mixture, refrigerate for 20 minutes and then you have “Our Husband,” an Australian band formed by Nathaniel Morse (Guitars and vocals) and Freya, an already established musician in the Adelaide music scene.

Unfortunately they do not have a lot of material available yet but the two songs they have on their MySpace account is promising.  My favourite song, Villages instantly start with a late 70′s early 80′s keyboard loop, accompanied by rhythmic yet simplistic drum machine.  Nathaniel’s voice is very catchy, and sings in prolonged mode, which at a later stage is blended perfectly with some again simple riffs and female vocals.

There is not much available guys out there yet, and I know that.  But I’ve heard some “behind the scenes” tracks, and trust me guys, their music is as good as much as they look out of fashion in the above picture, or I’ll risk and say, even way better!  Stay tuned for more “Our Husband” info to come later on this year.

Don’t people love it when music is also used as a political weapon?  After all, apart from entertaining people, some of the songs do send a message.  And that is what Midnight Oil did with their 1987 hit single ‘Beds are Burning’.

This political song is about giving native Australian lands back to an Australian Aboriginal group called Pintupi.  In 1960, the Australian government, forced these tribes out of their lands, and also stated that they were not ready to live in modern society and needed to be re-educated.

In the below video, apart from giving an excellent performance, entertaining a massive crowd, Midnight Oil grapped the occation to dress up in clothes with the word ‘Sorry’ printed on them.  This was a reference to John Howard‘s (back then Prime Minister of Australia) refusing to apologize on behalf of the Government of Australia, who was also present for the occasion.

This performance was part of the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, which for sure millions of people from allover the world were watching; ‘How can we sleep while are beds are burning?’
