3:58PM Jess McGuire | Apparently Gyroscope have written a song called “Australia”, which
seems to automatically grant it “anthem” status, even though, you know, in our opinion it sounds kinda whiny and boring. No offence, lads! We’re sure you’re nice guys with a sterling work ethic and hearts of gold, but Men At Work’s “Down Under” it’s not, you know? If we must do something as daft as automatically clutch a song named after our country to our collective national bosom, can it at least be “Australia” by The Shins?
In any case, you can listen to the song
at the band’s MySpazz site.
What amused us most about the article was a misspelling which hasn’t been corrected 24 hours after we first spotted it (and 48 hours after it was first put online).
If it’s not a spelling error, we’re going to assume someone at PerthNow is extremely thrilled about having actually located and linked to one of those famous “MySpace” sites, and has – in the excitement of it all – lost the ability to form coherent sentences.
