Giving Blood

Quoting Gotye HQ: Like Drawing Blood to be released in the US 2012-06-04 12:14 by Kate "We're pleased to announced Gotye will release his cult album Like Drawing Blood on CD and vinyl for the first time in the US this July; it is available digitally now. Like Drawing Blood, originally released in Australia in 2006, is the album that first put Gotye on the map. In his homeland it was the ultimate indie 'word of mouth' project; eventually going platinum without ever making the top 40. It eventually earned Gotye the Australian equivalent of a Grammy and went on to top numerous critics polls in Europe before being named iTunes “Album of the Year” for 2008 in the UK. The album features his cult classic "Hearts A Mess" with its unforgettable video." >Love Love Love those Heart's a Mess creatures!!!< ~~~ Dammit....already spent way too much to have the magical shipping kangaroo deliver the Aussie import to my door. However, my instincts are that >perhaps< the new US release will come with the Frank Tetaz remastered "Only Thing I Know" which was, without a doubt, one of the most acute and promising tracks from Boardface. The digital album contains the remastered version, with auditory proof that a few tiny adjustments and sophistications can really bring a track to life. For those of us who bought the Aussie release, I suspect a second cop or download will be in order. ~~~ In Other News: Wally Just wiped the floor at the 2012 APRA awards, and is looking a bit tired and unkempt, I must admit. Also, the auction of the one-off Emma Hack/Gotye art piece "Voices in the Mirror" wrapped recently. Here are some gems I have sussed from the ether, and simply must share!
