Our guest Danny Cohen is a Melbourne-based director who has filmed and photographed some of the most interesting and influential figures in contemporary music. Shot on vivid 16mm film over a three-year period, ANONYMOUS CLUB chronicles notoriously shy, Melbourne-based musician Courtney Barnett's ups and downs on the world tour for her album Tell Me How You Really Feel. Featuring Barnett's unguarded narration from her audio diary, recorded on a dictaphone provided by filmmaker Danny Cohen, the film delivers frank and unprecedented insight into Barnett's creative process, the sacrifices and inner conflicts set in motion by fame, and the sometimes dark backdrop to her whimsical, relatable poetic compositions. Based for much of her adult life in Melbourne, Courtney Barnett first found critical acclaim with 2013's The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas, and broke into the mainstream in 2015 with her debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. Garnering a coveted Best New Artist Grammy nomination and numerous other accolades, the album stands as a generational classic. Barnett is also a powerhouse live act, playing slots at festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Governor's Ball, Primavera, and Lollapalooza. In 2021, she released Things Take Time, Take Time, a remarkable artistic step forward. Anonymous Club opens across Canada over the next several weeks.
In this week's episode, we explore Courtney Barnett's debut LP, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. Friends of the pod, The Paranoid Style (Elizabeth Nelson and Tim Bracy), join us to discuss one of 2015's best albums. We are also thrilled to announce that their latest album, For Executive Meeting, will be released on Bar None Records on August 12th!

On this occasion our heroes are taking another trip down under and set aside their vegemite sandwiches to discuss Courtney Barnett's 2015 release ‘sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit'.The line “I wanna go out but I wanna stay home” bellowed out of a tinny radio hung above the counter of a Dunedin coffee shop. In between ravenous bites of his croissant, Stefan's ears caught the monotonous melody and hooked him in. Part of the appeal was the contrast between the trippy and the aggressive rock; but ultimately what we really latched onto was her lyrical worldview. It takes some serious skill to make the mundane interesting.Of course along the way they share laughs, anecdotes, and outrageous opinions.Head over to www.asoundpurchase.com/shop to see our new retro design tshirt, mug, or stickers; as well as our long promised ‘Rhodes' tshirt.Your support of this podcast is hugely appreciated, you have been vital to the sanity of our heroic podcast hosts.

In our newest edition of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," Flick and Richard exchange the albums "Sometimes I Sit and Think (and Sometimes I Just Sit)" by Courtney Barnett and "The Visitors by ABBA.
Courtney Barnett's songs are wild, shaggy and wordy, mixing witty, mundane, and sometimes heartbreaking observations with devastating self-assessment. And with a sound rooted in the slack jangle-rock of the late 1980s and the early 1990s, Barnett delivers plainspoken lyrics and roll off the tongue as if she's thinking them up on the spot. You can hear that in her break-out song "Avant Gardener" or in "Pedestrian At Best," from 2015's superb album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit, in which she spits off a list of personal insecurities and internal monologues to an former love. The Australia native plays songs from Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit in a live session from The Greene Space. (From the Archives, 2015.) Set List: "Dead Fox" "Depreston" "Pedestrian At Best" "An Illustration Of Loneliness (Sleepless In New York)"
The highest entry on the Spin list from a woman! Perhaps surprising but well-deserved for Liz Phair's sexually evocative and uncompromising Exile in Guyville. Matt discusses Exile's wit and power before introducing two other examples of Whip-Smart Women in the righteous fury of Alanis Morissette's immortal Jagged Little Pill and Courtney Barnett's literary and guitar shredding Sometimes I Sit and Think, Sometimes I Just Sit. As an extra treat, prepare to mark your bingo cards for the most pedantic moment yet on this podcast.

We're back again with Courtney Barnett's 2015 Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit. - a punchy, wordy, refreshing thrill of a record from a young Australian song craft master. With an understated pride for her home (and a hook), Courtney's incredibly detailed lyrics, both dry and wistful, float on clean but pumping '90s tinged alt rock. Her sharp observations mirror the music and because of that we think you should just listen to this episode. Now hear this: "Elevator Operator," “Pedestrian at Best," and “Depreston."Have something to say?

Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett’s 2015 album Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit was a critical success and Sound Opinions favorite. Her conversational songwriting manages to be simultaneously clever and poignant, and her guitar technique combining lead and rhythm parts is nothing short of impressive. All of her skills are on display as Courtney Barnett joins hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot for an interview and intimate solo performance in front of an audience. Plus, a review of the new album from country singer-songwriter Lydia Loveless

Courtney Barnett sure is blowing up these days, so of course we had to jump on board, ’cause you know us. Hell, we even listened to a Taylor Swift song during A Current Affair this week. Not that I’m comparing Taylor Swift and Courtney Barnett, Barnett is Australian for goodness sakes! Oh, and they sounds nothing alike. If I were to compare their similarities I would say it’s kind of like comparing Slayer and The Smiths. So, kind of soundalikes, but also not at all. Lots of people throw around Bob Dylan comparisons when they are talking about Courtney Barnett and Ryan is one of those people. ### Coming Up ### Next week Ryan is bringing in a guest and we’ll discuss The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and their first full length, Fever to Tell. We’ll reconvene here so I can tell you all about it.
