chrisp65 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Best Australian Album Ever. Tame Impala / Cybotron / Kanguru / Russell Morris and a bunch of others, absolute goldmine of slightly obscure loveliness. But then it has the words Amorphous Androgynous on the cover, and that's just a stamp of guaranteed quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 There is a guy called Grim Fawkner who is excellent, for an australian. He covers an australian folk singer called John Coleman. I swear to god the first 10 times I listened to this song I cried every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be 66 in January... Other than that, I'll never listen to it again, due to the use of the non-word 'restauranteurs'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 The author of 'The Galactic Ramble, Richard Morton Jack, is compiling a book covering Australian acts. That'll be a proper exercise in crate digging. They did have some decent bands going on. On the bright side, Cold Chisel didn't catch on either.

bannedfromHandV Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Cameron Avery is pretty decent too......for an Aussie........must admit that 'Dance with me' is one of my all time favourite tracks. Total Giovanni is another one from Aus, cracking track with 'Human Animal'......sounds a bit Flaming Lips....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw "Jet" the other year at a festival in Madrid ..they were pretty darn good , though it was 4am and I'd been on the sauce since breakfast about 20 hours earlier so in reality they may well have been a pub band and my dulled senses did the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their singer Nic Cester has done some solo music that I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 If I'll make it through the two hour training session within the first 15 minutes of running and footwork drills. Current coach has a gruelingly demanding regime, but I suppose we'll be able to run the floor and play with intensity come season start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) I sometimes stare at a Christmas tree and wonder what it would be like to shrink down to the size of a penny and fly around it, weaving in and out of the branches, gliding past the lights, swerving around baubles, and shooting up past the angel crowning the tree's top.
