    Was me in 1983, first car TC Cortina, Mushroom Beige, Mag wheels, sports steering wheel, Voxson sound system, pissy little 2 litre with extractors. I thought it was cool but I was only 18. Traded up to a Chrysler Centura with a 265 hemi about two years later. That thing flew in comparison.. Still see myself hooning around Melbourne listening to The Blurred Crusade and other cassettes I ripped off the records. Great days.

And I am old enough to remember when The Unguarded Moment first came out. One of the coolest bands ever to come out of Australia. And yep I still step out in the paisley shirts with the long sleeves!!

    Some resources say that this song is "power pop", others "post-punk", others yet "new-wave", "dark-wave", or "minimalist Gothic pop with elements of garage psychedelia". But before one trusts any of these designations, one must know where they come from. The legends tell us that many eons ago there was a dusty old house in Camden Town, London, with its walls like cancer-worn lungs, and in these walls was a smoky dilapidated room where the hundred best-paid music writers gathered in secret on a cold November weekend. Few souls alive today know precisely why they met or what was said in that room and I am not one. However, it is a Snopes-proofed fact that out of the hundred passionate critics who walked into that building only twenty came out and in the years that followed, which saw the rise of the Internet, we also started hearing terms like "post-punk", "power pop", "proto-punk", "paleo-psychedelic", or even "psychedelicate" used by music publications and eventually online resources far and wide with remarkable consistency and an air of certainty, as if these terms were a part of some officiated classification system of genres rather than the labels of convenience or hype which others still purport them to be... And as far as the mystery of the missing music critics, the facts remain vague. Out of those twenty remaining writers, twelve are still alive today. Eight of them no longer write about music or do so infrequently and superficially, one's been institutionalized in Canada, and another is Greil Marcus.

    I think that this is one of the best songs of that 80s era. The feel, the lyrics, the combination of the instruments and voices - its a very complete song. I heard recently early one morning on the way to work after too little sleep and it made me misty eyed. How can a bunch of 80s Aussie males blokes capture so well that teenage angst thing? And in a rock song like that? Maybe its his voice? Awesome.

    Mike Johnson no band could blow the bunnymen away in the 80's....the Bunnymen where the best / hippest / coolest band in them days alongside The Smiths.

    This is such a deep, heartfelt song and it was one of those that influenced a generation. Brilliant writing. Never saw them live, but looking back I wish I'd taken the time to do so. Choirboys, Radiators, the Oils, Hunters and Collectors: where are their successors to come from? All the pubs have been shut down by miserable, poncy whingers who think a good time is a glass of overpriced wine and a baguette in a sterile box with fake memorabilia on the walls and the current generation of kids have been tranquilised with smart phones and headsets. The social impact is huge. Huge overpriced overcontrolled raves are no substitute for a decent Friday night down at the local getting your ears blasted by a young band learning the ropes, but it's all that's left for many. Sad.
