'"After the News"' was a song by The Reels that was released as a single from their second album 'Quasimodo's Dream' in July 1980. The song fared disappointingly on the charts, peaking at number 65 in Australia. The single was accompanied by a colourful video that features a puppet newsreader.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFXy4hn50-o The Reels - "After The News" video on youtube] The B-side, "Media Themes", consisted of three short songs that were later re-used for the album. A "sequel" for "Media Themes" was released as a B-side to the band's later single "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)".[http://www.discogs.com/Reels-Love-Grows-Where-My-Rosemary-Goes/release/1001324 The Reels - Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) on discogs]
Mason later said, "I got really pissed off about "After the News". People were just not accepting what we were doing. I got depressed about that."
