The people I live with keep turning the bass up on our telly and it annoys me a lot. You see, I've always been a fan of treble; a little hiss and dustbin-lid sound. I think this comes from spending so much of my life, especially when I was younger, lying in bed with my headphones on, listening to some cloudy sounds on my tiny radio, and holding it above my head to clear the fuzz. I'd listen to it until I fell asleep, missing Peel saying goodnight, and the shipping forecast, and the sound being obscured by hiss as the transmitter moved out of line. Neil Robertson just said... ...well, he said a lot of things that are totally fair dinkum, especially all that about artistic integrity. Although we're always moaning about new singles taking so long there's something special about having to wait until a certain date before a song is released. Like waiting for Christmas morning, or the last day of school. I heard Fold Your Hands... before it was released and it wasn't half as exciting when it finally came out. Mind you, I don't think I'd place any of the live recordings I have of any songs above the proper versions. It's just nice to listen to them now and again, and hear the atmosphere and different hamonies, and a luscious lot of treble and hiss. Anyway, I don't think we can complain...
