- Jamie - I don't really know what gave you the impression that I don't
- like Australian music - but I'm talking about a different brand of
- >MUSIC< than you. Take bands like Falling Joys, Clouds, Maybe Dolls,
- Divinyls, early INXS, the Fauves, Nick Cave, Things of Stone and Wood,
- etc etc etc. This is what I call good Australian music. Then take
- the late Jimmy Barnes, Michael Hutchpants, Kylie, Dannnniii, Jason,
- Craig McLaughin', etc etc etc, who have either sold out to the marketing
- droids and/or failed to produce anything which resembles music unless
- your definition of music is a MIDI sequencer controlling a million
- synthesisers, a pitch-correction box for your vocals (Stock, Aiken &
- Waterman used this for Kylie), and a drum machine on speed. I love
- Australian music because it's raw, full of energy and doesn't conform
- to a marketing strategy. This is my definition of music. From what I
- see, yours is based on charts and sales, and no tits.

- Anyway, gotta go, the soapbox is falling apart...

- Onya Michael! This post made my day...
-
- ObNonMusic : Billy Ray Cyprus has a concert on at the Tennis Centre.
- The bloody TENNIS CENTRE! How does he expect to fill it? What other
- nauseating songs will he play other than Achy Breaky Heart? Will
- they supply buckets? Will they move the seats in the centre so people
- can do the Achy Breaky Constipation Dance? Will someone nuke the place
- on the night of the concert and purify the gene pool?
-
- See ya at the Big Day Out!!
