The best moments on their debut are as clever as they are sad, a dynamic frontman Louis Forster perhaps inherited from his father Robert Forster, one-half of the songwriting duo behind The Go-Betweens. Amoeba MusicIn American English, saying you're "up for anything" usually means you're open, adventurous, maybe a little indecisive. The Brisbane teen trio the Goon Sax have titled their debut album Up to Anything, which might be the dark flipside of that sentiment: "I'm not feeling up to anything/I'm nothing, nowhere, all over again/I can't walk/I can't walk this sadness out," bellows frontman Louis Forster on the first and title track.

In this mind state, you aren't just open, you're rudderless and confused, and will go along with whatever life presents you. It's a place of self-defeating vulnerability that anyone young has experienced, and the Goon Sax have made a jangly pop record that reflects it. The Goon Sax began in 2013 when Forster and guitarist James Harrison were in high school (they're still of school age, the band averaging 17.) Drummer Riley Jones joined in 2014 after a month of lessons on the instrument. That inexperience is something of a theme within the band, even within their name: a goon sack in Australia is the silver plastic bag of booze within a wine box, something of a symbol of youth—it's inexpensive alcohol. For American ears, imagine it similar to someone naming their band Franzia or 4Loko. The best moments on Up to Anything are as clever as they are sad, a dynamic Forster perhaps inherited from his father Robert Forster, one-half of the songwriting duo behind the Go-Betweens. "Sometimes Accidentally" could sit closely to "Cattle and Cane," perhaps just with modern, youthful vigor: Harrison takes over (his voice is a sweet alternative to Louis' deep, apathetic tone) and sings, "Sometimes I think about things and sometimes I accidentally think about you."

The line echoes Courtney Barnett, and is performed in a similar speak-sing.  In "Telephone," the band villainizes the antiquated technological development of talking on the phone, as if it's to blame for a conversation gone awry. In "Target," the shopping center becomes a reflection of the joy they don't feel: "Couldn't work at Target / The only color shirt I wear is blue." "Home Haircuts" depicts the indignity of trying (and failing) to get a rock-star hairstyle, at home or at the local salon: "I show them a picture of Roger McGuinn / Edwyn Collins / John Lennon / David Byrne / It seems I just can't win." For a band so intimately linked to one of Australia's greatest pop acts, the namedropping is fitting. Their music is entirely '80s in feel, channeling the Pastels at this turn and classic Flying Nun at that—the video for the song "Boyfriend," in which Louis longs for a man to call his own while systematically threatening to make him miserable, was inspired by Top of the Pops, a classic music program everyone in the band is too young to have seen firsthand.

This music is a distinctly Australian blend of honesty and unpretentiousness. Like the Go-Betweens, they are as confident in their songcraft as they are uncertain in life. Each song is well-structured and wise beyond its years  while the messages are confused, delicate and very, very teenage. This is the sound of growing up smart.

The two young were very photogenic. All the participants were able to view through a scope. (Photo by Sparky Stensaas) Checking on the Broad-winged Hawk nestlings Norma Malinowski trekked to the immense stand of Xyris montana (Yellow-eyed “Grass”) located along CR8 at the southern end of the Bog. (photo by Norma Malinowski) This is the taiga-like bog of stunted spruce south of CR8 at the south end of the Bog.  Norma also found this tiny butterfly called the Bog Copper. It is a denizen of open bogs with scattered stunted spruce and tamarack. Its main caterpillar food—cranberry—is only found in bogs.

Miraculously, botany leader Kelly Beaster saw this small white flower in the wet ditch while driving!  As noted above, this small population of Parnassia palustris (Marsh Grass-of-Parnassus) was discovered along Sax Road. It is a rarely seen wildflower which is a listed species in Wisconsin and Michigan. Socializing is an important part of our Bog BioBlitzes The “spider group” identifies their spider finds at the Welcome Center. Socializing after the BioBlitz A crowd pleaser…the stunning Baltimore Checkerspot was seen along Stone Lake Road but also encountered in several other spots during the day.

It is a close cousin to Indian Pipe and since it has no chlorophyll, it gets its nutrition from association with underground mycorrhizae of fungus.  Atlantis Fritillary on Brown-eyed Susan.
