The Ear Has To Travel #21 – Australia and New Zealand with KitKat 03.12.2018

I want to live where the traffic controllers are ballet dancers
and billboards painted over with colours;
where unkindness is fined in numbers of roses
and nobody feels like taking the commons
(Tiny Ruins)
We wrap up this year of The Ear Has To Travel with a trip around Australia and
New Zealand with music by Tiny Ruins, Nadio Reid, Laura Jean, Nick Cave, Seeker
Lover Keeper, and many more.
