Yes it takes a while to get going, but it built to a pretty impressive crescendo. Thanks.
I can't believe Neil Finn would have such a grown up kid. They must breed pretty early in the antipodes.
(what's happened to Paul Schaffer's voice? It's gone all husky. He sounds like Bleeding Gums Murphy)

Dang, that was yummy. I figured Liam would show up on the radar eventually.

As a die-hard Crowded House/Neil Finn fan, I am actually far more impressed with Liam's new album than with the new Crowded House one.
I remember when Liam made a guest appearance on drums at my first Neil Finn show, on the Try Whistling tour in 1998- he was about fifteen then, and he just seemed so cool to my also-fifteen year old self...

I saw him a couple weeks ago in Minneapolis. Had the same reaction as miss lynster and es_de_bah. Most of his songs were made up of the same three chords, strummed more or less in the same rhythm. The pedals/loops, etc. were interesting, as was his frenzied drum playing. Really liked "I'll Be Lightning" (the song, haven't heard the whole album) though.
I suppose the real highlight was him calling one of the opening acts a "good cunt" and then having to explain that particular bit of NZ/AUS slang to the confused audience.
