Crowded House reunion.

The new Crowded House album Time On Earth isn't as strong as their great, underrated 1988 Temple of Low Men, but it's reminiscent of it, in a good way. More importantly, it features maybe the strongest track the band has ever recorded, a quite faithful live version of which is here. Whether it's written for Paul Hester or Natalie Maines' grandmother is almost beside the point - though I like the way the song, and way it's been shared, conveys the universality of grief: Finn's, Maines', yours, mine. Whatever; it's gorgeous stuff.
