I don't care if she's Australian. I don't care if she's a dyke. As long as she keeps writing the kinds of songs that are on her two EPs and her LP, I'm going to be a fan.

I can never listen to just one of her songs. I have to play several in a row. She's that good.

Pretty sure she is dating her bass player. But yeah, she is awesome.

Pretty sure she's been in a long term relationship with Jen Cloher.

Jen co-wrote 'Numbers' with Courtney about their relationship. 'Pickles In The Jar' is about them too, and Jen is mentioned in the first lines of 'Dead Fox' (Jen insist we buy organic vegatables, and I must admit I was a little skeptical at first. A little pesticide can't hurt).

But whatever. Doesn't really matter.


Dead Fox also has one of the best lines I've heard in years ( A possum Jackson Pollack spread out on the tar).

I have to play Avant Gardener five times a day at least.

"The yard if full of hard rubbish, it's a mess and
the neighbors must think we run a meth lab"

"I get adrenaline, straight to the heart
I feel like Uma Thurman, post-overdosing kick start"

"The paramedic thinks I'm clever because I play guitar
I think she's clever 'cause she stops people dying
Anaphylatic and super-hypocrodriac-tic
Should've stayed in bed today, I much prefer the mundane
I take a hit from an asthma puffer
I do it wrong; I was never good at smoking bongs"

In Australia, Barnett shares a home with her girlfriend of four years, the singer-songwriter Jen Cloher.

The pair's romantic partnership doubles as a creative one: Barnett and Cloher run a small label called Milk! Records that Barnett founded in her bedroom, and in addition to the label, Barnett has played alongside Cloher as a guitarist and duettist.

Not sure why anyone would care... she blew me away live, this summer... up until then, I was only familiar with a song or two

Neither am I.

The eight or nine shots of Jose Quervo I'd had by the time I wrote that probably led me to emote more than I should have.
