\"Tim\"TimYou know, every year that I boldly state that the only thing left on my music want list is that year’s Doctor Who soundtrack, Mr. Tim Finn sneaks up and throws a new studio album at me. So there you have it – I’m going to start saying that the last CD I want every<\/em> year is Doctor Who, and that means more<\/em> Tim, right? I’d already picked up the little rarities\/demos\/etc. EP he put out this year, and I thought “Hey, that’s good” – between that and Liam and the Split Enz rarities collection that came out in the past 12 months, I was maintaining my practice of setting aside about a quarter of any given year’s music budget for the family Finn. This is just sneaky.<\/p>\n

Anyway, according to Tim’s official news site<\/a>, maintained by Finn & Split Enz publicist Peter Green:<\/p>\n

The track listing for Tims new album THE CONVERSATION is as follows:-Straw to Gold,Out of this world, The Saw & the Tree, Slow Mystery, Rearview Mirror, Only a Dream., Fall from Grace, Invisible, Snowbound, Great Return, Imaginary Kingdom, Forever Thursday, More Fool Me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peter also posts a link to the electronic press kit for the album on Youtube<\/a>. For my part, I’ve added The Conversation<\/em> to the Store<\/a>. It looks like the album’s out next month, kinda like that Doctor Who album – somehow appropriate for someone who was described by fellow Split Enz’er Mike Chunn this way in a quote found on a Tim fansite<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When I first saw him, he was 13 and his eyes seemed very piercing and bright for a country boy. As time passed, I realised it was all those songs burning brightly in the back of his head – waiting to come out. His skull is like the TARDIS. Deceiving.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I always thought that quote was a neat little coincidence there. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

EDIT: Now that I’ve done a little bit of further research, I’m really intrigued by this album deliberately going for a less “produced” sound than most of his other work. Hmmmmmmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
