There are a ton of Divinyls songs that I love (and you might end up hearing about them); I don't know if people here in the U.S. nowadays know that they weren't just a one-hit wonder. That one hit, of course, was "I Touch Myself," and I will honestly go to the mat defending it as an INCREDIBLE pop song, but I also really wish people knew the band was more than that.

I'm posting "Back to the Wall" for Spooky Season because it appeared in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master; I haven't seen the movie purely because I don't enjoy the slasher genre much, but I'm tempted to look it up just to see how the song is used. It's a slow burner, as Chrissy Amphlett's vocals shift from sad but almost soothing ("These are desperate times, my dear"), to stoic ("I've been holding back all my tears / Just so the pressure don't show"), and then, gradually, to something more assertive. The chorus of "I might do anything at all" turns from a heroine musing to herself to an immediate threat of self defense: "You better run for your life." A defiant sort of na-na na-na-na na-na hook, like a rebellious child’s taunt, kicks in around 3:30, and that's what really makes the song for me. It's a Final Girl's entire emotional arc in less than five minutes.

“The voice of Christina Amphlett … shuttles between a hiccup, a yodel and a snarl. She sings with inflections that seem entirely her own, as if she were making up a perverse language as she went along. At her most bizarre, she can sound almost demonically possessed … she’s the good-bad girl – sort of like all four Shangri-Las rolled into one – with a snatch of pre-exorcised Linda Blair tossed in.” 

/ Jim Farber reviewing the 1988 Divinyls album Temperamental in Rolling Stone / 

Died on this day ten years ago: feral, perverse and raspy-voiced frontwoman of criminally underrated post-punk Australian band Divinyls, Christina Amphlett (25 October 1959 - 21 April 2013). I was privileged to see Divinyls perform and interview bad girl Amphlett for my university newspaper in 1991 in Montréal (when Divinyls had their fluke international hit with “I Touch Myself”). She was great! (I had no inkling that at the time Amphlett was battling alcoholism, as she’d later recount in her 2005 autobiography Pleasure and Pain). The Montréal audience was totally nonplussed by the volatile Amphlett’s abrasive sex kitten-gone-berserk stage antics (there was lots of deep stripper squats, breast-cupping and crotch-grabbing delivered with a contemptuous scowl).  Amphlett died far too young from a combination of Multiple Sclerosis and breast cancer. In this shot you can clearly see the macabre “dead mouse” brooches Amphlett used to wear pinned to her little girl dresses in Divinyls’ early days. When I asked her about them, she just shrugged, “When I first started the band, I lived in this place that had lots of rats and mice and I became obsessed with them and used to stick them on my dress, because they were everywhere …” If you’re not au fait with Divinyls’ music, the picks to click are: their entire 1983 debut album Desperate followed by “Casual Encounter”, “Pleasure and Pain”, “Sleeping Beauty” and “Back to the Wall.”

Dads a real head banger, he likes Divinyls, The Bangles and he says Kylie Minogue is a great Australian. he likes classical music when we having dinner. Mozarts a favourite. 

Donna likes the golden oldies she likes Cheap Trick and bopping songs like Elvis Presley and Billy Idol, she thinks he's a top bloke. 

Samuel likes Tracey Chapman and all that stuff he likes Jimmy Barnes I think. 

Warren is a big head, he said if its not on cd then its rubbish. he likes Abba, INS, Robert palmer, Stevie nicks and Fleetwood mac. 

Chrissy loves Patrick Swayze and his song 'She's like the wind' and listens to it every night. She old fashioned and never heard of New Kids on the Block. 

Autumn says the party across from the road at Dads house is just like being in Mount Druitt. She likes Rick Astley and takes his cassette with her everywhere. She thinks Michael Jackson is a spunk and wants to marry him. She sings his song all the time. 

I like Madonna, INXS, 1927, Kylie Minogue.
