Momentum Books — Crowded House: Something So Strong
Neil Finn has launched a comprehensive new website (yes!), “which has been a long time coming” in his words, and which also coincides with the release of his new “Song of the Lonely Mountain,” which plays over the end credits of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (link below). The site looks like a real treat for fans of all things Finn such as myself, with music, video, and beautiful photography from each phase of his career. The EPK videos from The Finn Brothers’ “Everyone Is Here” (one of my favorite albums) are included, as well as a 2010 interview I’d never seen… and pages and pages of Crowded House video and interviews.
