    I like her, but can only listen to her music in smaller doses, 3 or 4 songs at a time, otherwise her voice starts to annoy me.
    Great songwriter and storyteller and she has some absolute gems in her catalogue. Haven't listened to all of her new album yet, but have liked some of the songs I have heard
    Do you find people you know hate her? That's my experience. 
    haha, yep, I'm the only person I personally know that likes her. Everyone else I know in Brisbane, thinks she's terrible
    Likewise. My mate jokes how I like her music.
    Funny you say that.  I was chatting with someone from OZ and they said "you crazy Americans like her more than we do, lol".

    I did just receive my new album bundle.

    It came with socks!  That's right mofo's, I got me some Courtney Barnett socks.

    Will spin this later tonight!

    Oh she did an interview on NPR that you can look up.

    lol socks are interesting.
    I don't get why Americans love her more.
    Is it the accent?
    What is NPR?

    NPR is National Public Radio.  Just type in NPR Podcasts and you should be able to find it.

    The accent?  No that's not it.  When she sings I don't hear it as much.  I appreciate her wit.  Avant Gardner was a pithy title so I checked it out and enjoyed the song and that is why I like her.

    Cool.
    You have to be from Melbourne to understand some songs e.g. Depreseton and Elevator Operator.

    I was at a Middle Kids show just over a week ago, and they had socks on their Merch stand as well (bloody ugly ones too)
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me

    Just recently started listening to more of her stuff and am really into it. Her early ep's are great and the album with Kurt Vile is amazing!
