There is a god. Here at musichead.com.au is the latest video from Timmy and the boys. The new single ‘ain’t it funny how we don’t talk anymore?’ played for the first time on JJJ last night on the ‘2006′ show.
Admitedly, when you hear the intro to this tune, it will throw you. It’s a bit of a departure from the typical You Am I stuff. I was expecting something remeniscent of the ‘Sound As Ever’ or ‘Hi Fi Way’ days when the band were first finding their sound. But with the opening Peter Townshendesque chords, I almost thought it was The Living End.
Frankly, (and I don’t want to jinx the boys, I love ‘em dearly), how can this miss? It’s short, it’s punchy and maybe even a little bit more radio friendly with slick, rocking grooves to it. This is a very, very catchy tune. Also it sounds a lot more cohesive than a lot of their stuff since the Dress Me Slowly album. Lead guitarist Davey Lane really is tight in there and sounds a lot more a part of it than the Deliverance album.
Oh and of course, look at Tim rock out in the video! The man is just made to rock. God bless Timmy Rogers, the world’s one and only true rock star in a world of clarlatin try hard pigs! Raise your glasses and salute the Jolly Rogers! Our boys are gonna go off this year if I have anything to do with it!
