Feelings is the new stage moniker of Simon Berkfinger, frontman for the sadly defunct Philadelphia Grand Jury. Members of Dappled Cities and Art Vs Science join Berk on Intercourse, a song co-written by a member of the also defunct, Yves Klein Blue. With so many Aus-indie luminaries attached, an otherwise blah “sexpop” number becomes an indictment of our national music scene – the best our best and brightest can come up with is a second-rate, slow-trailing emulation of Mika’s starburst bubblegum pop. Meanwhile, with a title like Intercourse you can just imagine the lyrical heights we’re scaling here, the dumb twang of a musical joke that isn’t funny. “I like to do it so hard and feel every part in intercourse,” Berk sings repeatedly. We need a new word to describe this kind of tongue-in-cheek sexual showboating, something between yuck and lame.
