    only song i really really like by her is Pedestrian at Best. The other two songs/singles weren't too bad but that one stuck out for me.

    I like the tracks ''Depreston'' (which is based on a suburb of Melbourne called Preston) and "Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go To The Party".
    Avant Gardener is brilliant as well.

    on her US tour lately she's been playing her latest album in it's entirety, need to pick it up or listen to it at least.

    I liked it.

    She dropped an album on the weekend too. From what I've heard, it sounds like a great follow up to Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I just Sit.

    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

    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.

    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.

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