Song of the day (Australia) - 145: Dave Graney And The Coral Snakes

Charlotte suggested Rolf Harris as the next in this series celebrating the fact we're now Australian.

Song of the day - 113: White Woods

There's a certain strain of Australian music that holds intrigue as its core.

Song of the day - 111: Songs

This song is a couple of years old - and this is newer material available - but have you any idea how hard it is doing a Google Search on the word 'Songs'?

Song of the day - 93: Aztec Camera

A few days back, I had me a hankering to hear some old school Roddy Frame.

Song of the day - 67: The Stress Of Leisure

Can't quite put my finger on it.

Song of the day - 58: The Go-Betweens

This entry is to celebrate the fact I attended a lecture given by Mr Robert Forster yesterday at QUT to 40 first-year students.

Everett True vs The Go-Betweens

ET Recommends - 16: The Deadnotes

This is long overdue.

ET Recommends - 9: The Bats

Fuck it. I can't stop listening to this album.

Mercury Music Prize

The shortlist has just been announced.

The Bats vs The Go-Betweens

Look. I've been sent the new album from The Bats. Frances threw it in with the new Plan B, a speech bubble pasted on top stating that she was sending it on on the condition I should write about it somewhere. Where to write about it, though.
