LP version. Includes CD. In 2008, Robert Forster, one of Australia's most respected singer-songwriters, released The Evangelist, a work that was widely regarded as his best solo album; it more than lived up to the many high points of his legendary band The Go-Betweens. In 2015, seven years after that album, fans and critics alike may wonder what's been doing since. Quite a lot, as it turns out. Producer for acclaimed albums by Brisbane bands The John Steel Singers and Halfway. An extended stint as a music critic for the Australian periodical The Monthly that was so well received that a collection of his writings was published as The Ten Rules of Rock and Roll in 2009, and was reprinted in revised and updated form in 2011. Curator and compiler of G Stands for Go-Betweens: The Go-Betweens Anthology Volume 1 (2015), the first of three lavish box-set compilations charting the career of the iconic Australian band of which he was founding member, singer, and songwriter. Still, seven years is a long time, musically speaking. Time for writing songs, time for gathering musicians, time for preparing a refreshed creative direction that took shape as Songs to Play. Ten very different Robert Forster songs recorded on a mountaintop half an hour from his Brisbane home, in an analog studio, with a troop of young musicians: talented multi-instrumentalists Scott Bromley and Luke McDonald (from The John Steel Singers), Matt Piele (drummer from Forster's touring band), and violinist and singer Karin Baumler. The resultant album is really like nothing he's ever done before, although it retains many of the qualities listeners know from his songwriting. His work remains highly melodic, with incisive, witty lyrics attuned to real people and real lives. The surprise is in the spirit of the record, it's sense of adventure and fun - especially after the meditative reflections of The Evangelist (recorded a year after the death of The Go-Betweens co-founder Grant McLennan). Seven years have brought a bolder, wilder approach to sound, and a set of truly inspiring compositions. Pop songs. Five minute epics. A bossa nova tune. Singer-songwriter classics. Experimental, detailed production assistance from Bromley and McDonald. It's no wonder that, from the album's opening lines on the super-charged Learn to Burn, Forster is bursting to get out and tell his story. Seven years in the making. And worth every minute.

Serious Exfoliating Power
Color: Rectangular Gunmetal Grey, Color: Rectangular Gunmetal Grey
They possess some serious power! After working outside and managing to acquire some spots of stubborn grime that even abrasive soap wasn't tackling, I was excited to test a scrubber out. I ran it beneath water until the foam had softened and rubbed some soap into it, occasionally squeezing to generate some foam. The first time I used it, it felt a bit more abrasive than I personally cared for, but it felt softer the second time and was more comfortable. It demolished the spots of grime, I rinsed it out, squeezed as much water out, and left it to dry. It seems like the perfect size, and putting the strap around your hand makes it very comfortable to use. They do not require a lot of pressure to work, I found that gentle pressure was more than enough to clean and exfoliate. I'm not sure what to compare the material to, it's like an open cell foam that has some grit to it. I think the first point of failure will be the strap ripping off at some point with regular use. The strap feels a bit on the cheap side and is narrow, but it isn't uncomfortable to use at all! It's really just there to help you hold onto a soapy object in the shower, and give you something to hang it up by. All in all, the price is very reasonable for what you're getting and all foam will break down with use over time so they may require replacement, but they are far from single use!

HAND-SIZED EXFOLIATORS THAT LATHER WELL AND EARN A STARRING ROLE IN MY SHOWER ROUTINE
Color: Dark Grey, Color: Dark Grey
I have been using Nigerian exfoliating nets for a while. They exfoliate very well, but they are not my favorite for building up a rich lather. These solve that problem, so they have become part of my regular shower routine. I still use a net for my back as it is hard to reach, but for everywhere else these are more practical.
PACKAGING/CONTENTS:
* You get 2 round exfoliating scrubbers in sealed compressed packaging. Giftable.
EASE OF USE:
* Very simple. Soak, lather up, and scrub.
* The elastic hand strap is useful and keeps the pad secure, so there is less fumbling and dropping.
* The round shape is easy to control around tighter areas like behind the ears, collarbone, and ankles.
SIZE:
* Size is just right for hand use.
* It is compact enough to maneuver easily, but large enough to cover a decent amount of surface area with each pass.
QUALITY:
* Quality is excellent for a $9.99 two-pack.
* The exfoliating surface has enough bite to do its job, while the softer inner body keeps it from feeling harsh in the hand.
* The stitching and edge binding look solid, and the pad keeps its shape well when wet.
SOFTNESS AND EXFOLIATION:
* These are not ultra-soft fluffy bath sponges. They are exfoliators first.
* The textured outer surface does the work, and it gives a satisfying scrub without feeling absurdly aggressive.
* I would call the center comfort-oriented and the outer surface functional.
THICKNESS:
* Thickness is dialed in well for the use.
* Thick enough to feel substantial in the hand and provide spring, but not so chunky that it takes forever to rinse or dry.
DRYING TIME:
* Drying time is fast if you hang them by the loop or strap.
* They do not stay waterlogged the way some denser bath sponges can.
VALUE FOR MONEY:
* At $9.99 for a 2-pack, these are appropriately priced.
* Anticipate replacing them monthly which is a reasonable cost for the largest organ of the body.
OVERALL:
STRONG BUY. I am a convert. Will buy again.
