hey all, while i was in australia my finacee introduced me to this band from brisbane. they're called powderfinger. these guys are AWESOME. as a musician i really respect what these guys are doing. check out "odessey #5" and their latest "vulture street." they toured here back in 2001. hopefully they'll come back next year for a bigger US tour.

    these days is a sensational downtempo song, rivals many PJ downtempo songs imo

    It's coming round again
    The slowly creeping hand
    Of time and its command
    Soon enough it comes
    and settles in its place
    Its shadow in my face
    Puts pressure in my day

    This life well it's slipping right through my hands
    These days turned out nothing like I had planned

    It's coming round again
    The slowly creeping hand
    Of time and its demands
    It settles in its place
    Its shadow in my face
    Undignified and lame

    This life well it's slipping right through my hands
    These days turned out nothing like I had planned
    Control well it's slipping right through my hands
    These days turned out nothing like I had planned

    Soon enough it comes
    Soon enough it comes
    To tie us down

    start with double allergic.

    cant believe no one has mentioned their 2nd and greatest album IMO... oipic, daf, pick you up. living type, electric horseman, take me in, give, JC... there is no filler at all on DA.

    then comes internationalist. already gone is one of the all time greatest tracks... capoicity, belter, hindley st, celebrity head, DWBLO.. all brilliant... over my head and lemon sunrise are a bit of filler, but the rest is A grade material.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.
