I can't believe it's really been nine years since this first sent its tentacles out of my first Mac, way back when...

Just so you know - its not a band it is a person working on his own using a variety of instruments and electronics found here and there and put together in a home made studio and without the benefit of a label behind him. 

OK, I can understand you not liking it - but you have to give respect for someone who can produce something this good off their own back.

... who shouts rather than sings and includes no literary references.  I very much like Mr. Gotye, and I very much like Mr. Sting; they create on very different levels, however.

dunno... if this was auto-tuned, why are the notes in the acoustic breakdown at the end so flat?

This song's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to eject!

Wally sent me this album way back when too. That was neat. 
I get a kick from showing the cd cover to people where it says it was "recorded in bedrooms around Melbourne...."

I bought this album from his site too, and we passed a few emails back and forth. I doubt he is now that open now he has worldwide fame, but I know for certain his heart is in the right place.

Totally agree - Someone That I Used to Know is excellent, but there's something about this...

I really dig this!
Hé, and the drumsolo near the end reminds me of "Take Five" from Dave Brubeck. Anyone?

8/10 Great, but not outstanding..

Did I hear some auto-tuning going on there?  My ears started bleeding, so it must be.  Either that or I'm just hungover.

Wow - many of the kids listening to him - and the dance remixes of his big hit song - on pop radio would definitely be confused.
