The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2019/2020

Our world is in crisis. End-of-year lists are under threat. Yet every crisis contains the possibility of transformation. Across the world people are waking up and coming together.

We hear history calling to us from the future. We catch glimpses of a new world of love, respect and lists, where we have restored value to the annual count down. It’s a future that’s inside us all – located in the fierce love we carry for lists, in our urge to tell a stranger what should have been number one, in our wish to organise and rank, even when that seems too much to ask.

And so we rebel for this.

Live Review: The Cure, Sydney Opera House, Sydney, 28/05/2019

I'm so glad you came
I'm so glad you remembered
To see how we're ending our last dance together
Expectant too punctual but
Prettier than ever
I really believed that this time it's forever

…And so it was The Cure and me back at the Opera House for another nostalgia show. Tonight a play though of the classic 1989 album, Disintegration.

But first an introductory set of b-sides and demos taken from the era. These songs are fine and with more exposure some (2 Late, Fear of Ghosts) could have been Cure classics. Unfamiliarity and a general lack of energy however, make it all a little dull. Delaying rather than building anticipation for the main album set.

After a short break the band return to a massive cheer and the opening sounds of Plainsong. The long sweeping intro provides both the moment of anticipation and the release as Robert Smith does a lap of the stage, engaging fans in all corners of the room.

There is no lack of familiarity here. Disintegration has sold close to three million copies and most of the albums tracks have been permanent fixtures in the bands live set in release 30 years ago. Every person knows every word, every guitar strum, every synth line, every circular drum fill. The songs are dark, romantic, practiced and perfectly executed. The intertwined guitars of Pictures of You, the slow burn of Closedown, the sugar hit of Lovesong all perfect.

There is not a lot of movement on the stage, moody projections cover large video screens the only real action coming from Simon Gallop, base hung low he runs from band mate to band mate. There is a touch of light and laughter comes when Robert Smith busts out the dance moves during Lullaby.

The baseline of Fascination Street surges over guitar noise before an absolutely massive version of Prayers for Rain fills the room. The neo metal of Disintegration provides the last lively moments of the main set. We are not finished with the doom and gloom tho, Homesick and Unititled keep things moody.

The end. 30 years on Disintegration has been played in its entirety. Many find this album depressing. Listening to Disintegration leaves them down, defeated, emotionally exhausted. That is not what I experience and not at all tonight. I find the size and romanticism and familiarity of these songs comforting, joyous even. Seeing them played all together live has dialled those feelings up some 1000%.

The band return to finish the show with three songs a little further removed from the 1989 Disintegration era. First Burn from The Crow soundtrack. A banger in any circumstance Burn has an urgency that is not found in much of Disintegration making it stand out as a highlight tonight.

The group’s debut album turns forty this year, they play the title track Three Imaginary Boys. Before finishing with a sea shanty Pirate Ships.

The Bawley 100 - New Years Eve 2018/2019

Fortnight:Bawley Royale is the hottest end-of-year list on the internet. In Fortnite:Bawley Royale 100 songs are dropped on an ever shrinking island, with paired goals of claiming Victory Royale (the number one song) and performing fad dance moves. Listening to the list is fast, fun, free and highly addictive. However, some see Bawley Royale as a menace on young minds.

In 2018, young Bawley Royale listeners have been:

• Stealing credit cards to buy new hats, dance moves and positions for their songs.
• Staying up all night so they can find a few extra hours to pick their songs and work on dance moves.
• Pulling out of weekend hobbies and IRL meet-ups because it would be time away from their favourite songs.
• Listening under desks in workplaces and classrooms, in at least one office the list - and even any mention of it - has been banned.
• Screaming like toddlers when family members intervene to ban Bawley Royale on weekdays.

Many music media bodies are at their wits end. All commercial radio stations, one popular government funded youth radio station and the always relevant Video Hits have joined together to blacklist all songs from the Bawley Royale list. The official reason "lack of popularity", off-the record one music director confessed that "the ban is a co-ordinated response [to the Bawley Royale threat]".

Youth culture sceptic and local wowser Mr Con Servative has described Bawley Royale as a cross “between BawleyMon Go and The Bawley Games", Mr Servative says listeners are becoming addicted, suffering genuine withdrawal symptoms including "mood swings, urges, mopiness, middle age, and headaches". Others were also refusing to go to take off headphones because they couldn’t cope without hearing this years Victory Royale.

Meanwhile massive popularity means massive profits for the makers of the free list. So... play on below.
