[b]LONG AWAITED MCBAZZART DEBUT SINGLE GOES ON SALE
(Reuters) Melbourne, Australia[/b]
The Australian music industry was rocked this week when independent music star Wolfgang McBazzart's debut single The Magic Skinflute reached the shelves, and immediately started marching out the doors. A cult success throughout Australia, and a diligent performer in all states, McBazzart had told the media many times that his recording debut would wait until he was "good and ready". Four weeks ago, after a wild show in Perth, he told a freelance journalist that he was "waiting for a really good song to pop into [his] head".
And pop it did. The Magic Skinflute is an eclectic fusion of operatic aria, four-piece chamber strings, and grungy alternative rock. Industry observers have called it "very f--king bizarre", "obscenely catchy", and "orgasmic". Reactions to the single's B-sides have been more mixed. Some have claimed that Air Through Your G-String, with its airy synthesised strings and tuba solo, should have been the single's featured track, while others have called it "crass but cute". Little other than condemnation has been levelled at I Can't Handel the Water Music, however, the oldest track in the single. McBazzart is unfazed by the criticism: "Yeah, they're right. Water Music is a piece of s--t. I really wanted to get the other two out, and the industry required a third track, so there it is."
Breathless fans are now asking, inevitably, about an album. "F--k off," says McBazzart. "I'm going to gig for a while."
