Courtney Barnett is a brilliant indie-rocker that has appeared here many times in the past. In March 2015, she released her first full-length long-player, Sometimes I sit and think, and Sometimes I just sit, after several equally dazzling EP and single releases going back to 2012. We have highlighted all of those releases along the way. Nobody Really Cares If You Don’t Go To The Party is just one more example of the delightful rock that comes from the mind of…
Read MoreAstute readers of this blog will recognize Michael Kiwanuka from the post back in June of 2012 for I’m Getting Ready.

Courtney combines elements of blues-rock with alt-pop to create a totally unique sound used extensively in her music creation. Case in point is Courtney’s Scotty Says from her April 2012 EP, I’ve Got A Friend Called Emily Ferris. Courtney Barnett knows how to weave humor seamlessly into her songs.

Read MoreIt’s hard to believe that the year is over and my goal to keep this blog going and updated has worked far better than I would have imagined back in January 2012. I couldn’t have done it without your feedback-your “likes” and “reblogs” were very much appreciated. Let’s face it though, the blog could not happen at all without the music.
