Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 10/10/2026#ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles #MusicChallenge Talk of the Town - Pretenders Released as a stand alone single in 1980 between the confusingly named (for me anyway) Pretenders and Pretenders II and included on Pretenders - Extended Play (pics) but not Pretenders (an EP). youtu.be/-Kdt1IARNkI?... 3292

Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I love that open approach! Worth $3 (But I have also given up in that situation before - I had a recent experience of 3 shops in hipster Collingwood, dudes more interested in chatting to their mates.) Still the best album for me, feels like more of a band sound, rather than Iva Davies solo. 010
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Right you are, then, sorry I didn't know that. Maybe not such a loss because the 'New Wave" cover art is part of the joy of the Flowers version! 😉 100

Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I was going to post A Solid Bond in Your Heart from Extras, but not actually released as a single by The Jam, but rather by The Style Council youtu.be/r5Qd1KA89II?...youtu.beThe Jam - A Solid Bond In Your HeartYouTube video by Fran Corao Oficial 110

Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Oh no, it's a classic! (They were called Flowers at that point btw). 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 09/10/2026At about the 10:56 mark the Aussies say our trams are shite 😄 (Toby's mate is Claudia). 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Here's some commentary - bro-in-law is good friends with the Melbourne driver competing, which is how we became aware 😉 youtu.be/dBP9hSoOPB8?...youtu.beFULL HIGHLIGHTS: The European Tram Driver Championships 2026YouTube video by The Tim Traveller 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I was wondering if it would be Oz! 😄 I recently found out that we are also the only non-€ country that competes in the European Tram Driving Championships! 🤩 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Excellent! I did contemplate some Christmas songs too... Very interested in Eurovision song? 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Love it! I've posted another OzRock track with a better known international title today (as with the A-Ha song and this one) 😉 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Nice! You have definitely gone eclectic for this one ✨😄 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Brilliant choice! ✨✨ I think I had this on an Indie Top 20 compilation, I didn't realise that it wasn't on an album. 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 08/10/2026#ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles #MusicChallenge Venus - Blue Ruin To me, musically much more satisfying version of the Shocking Blue song, but unfortunately overshadowed by the Bananarama release the same year. Another Birthday Party alumnus, Phill Calvert, on drums. youtu.be/AbZEA2IxPVQ?... 050
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 08/10/2026🙏 Really love this one, such an unusual mix of peppy and portentous! 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 07/10/2026#ArtistFaveNonAlbumSingles #MusicChallenge Shout - Depeche Mode Very early b-side to New Life and Love In Itself and reworked many times - definitely a fave from a fave artist for me 🕺 youtu.be/MYsg20l_zpE?... 1180
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Such a great band! So many special stand alone singles and b-sides! ✨✨ 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I love this song! Didn't realise that it wasn't on an album! ✨✨ 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Thanks! Thought I would do one some others might not. 😉 010

Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It must be frustrating! I really don't get the logic sometimes - eg an American label signing an Australian band, presumably for something a bit different, and then getting them to re-record or substitute songs on an album to make them more US radio friendly. 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yes, used to have to carefully establish the track listing for some for Tim's Twitter Listening Party! (Especially the Style Council differed UK US and Oz) I also remember asking the singer of Kaiser Chiefs why they didn't give us the last track of debut here and he didn't know it was absent! 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 05/10/2026OK, that's prompted a likely inclusion CD review and it's not on any of them! A true rarity! 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 05/10/2026🙏 Another strange release - it refers to the album, which it's not on under the track listing. (Arguably the album is an EP with From Her to Eternity as the single.) Again, I had associated it with the covers album Kicking Against the Pricks, but that came later. 110
Brentsky @brentsky.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yes, or included in the CD versions. (I think we have discussed before that they used to add in subsequent hits to Australian versions when they used to stagger the release around the world.) 110
