    but you do have some really good stuff too....nick cave obviously, abattoir & lyre are very very special pieces of work, the waifs are quite good, the vines, & i've been listening to angus & julia stone lately as well which isn't bad

    and that russell crowe is a class act on stage ;)



    edit: oh, and i was pleasantly surprised by augie march too, was expecting alot less from them

    Got any links to abattoir & lyre and angus and julia stone? :)

    Well first go here to see if you like his kind of tribal, earthy, groove-tastic music: Xavier Rudd- "Fortune Teller".

    And if you do, then "Food In The Belly" would be a good place to start.

    I've seen him four times in California, New York and Boston. I think I may be inadvertently approaching "stalker" status.

    and trust me when i say you don't know what youre talking about. ;):)

    i am well aware of how well the oils used to rock, back in the day. i spent many a night being drenched in peter garrett sweat and vagueing out over how excellent rob hirst pounded those drums, and the occasional garbage can lid. but right now in australian music there are a shitload of great live bands that deserve some attention. oz rock rules and we do it so well.

    abattoir blues & the lyre of orpheus are albums by nick cave that are packaged together & they're amazing. a very a big powerful sound, nearly every song is a highlight but 'there she goes my beautiful world' is...umm....err.... i'm trying to think of word that does it justice....

    hmmm.....just listen! :eek::eek::eek: moving on.....

    here's the site for - http://www.angusandjuliastone.com

    they're kind of mellow, folky duo, guy & girl vocals, brother & sister i think. not bad, the girls voice gets on my tits at times, she's got a bit of joanna newsom thing going on.

    Thanks itsevo! :) I admit I've got some catching up to do when it comes to Nick Cave. Sounds like that's a good place to start. :)

    And I love this angus and julia thing! :)

    Unfortunately I haven't kept up on the Aussie music scene over the last few years, but back in the day I used to love:

    Hunters & Collectors
    Hoodoo Gurus
    The Waifs

    and of the course, the mighty Midnight Oil. I was lucky enough to see them way back in 1993 when they toured Canada with The Tragically Hip as part of their "Another Roadside Attraction" festival. I've seen a LOT of rock shows over the years, and to this day that's still one of the most powerful concerts I've ever witnessed. They toured here for the last time in 2002, but I wasn't able to get to any of the shows. It was incredibly depressing.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    special patrol just write good acoustic moody pop music. if you listen to jjj you may have heard them...
    i remember reading a review saying 'special patrol are what u2 would have been if they were born in adelaide and wrote songs with lyrical substance'

    i thought it was a good quote. anywho here is there myspace page, they have 2 full lengh albums. both great.

    http://www.myspace.com/specialpatrol1

    listen to 'hey good try' and 'holy heart'.

    I don't appreciate a lot of aussie music as it seems to be the same old sam old every year.. I used to like JBT etc but got sick of them too easily.

    Silverchairs first 2 albums were very average but last 3 are very very good
    The Drones are a good quality australian band
    Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are the best Aussie band by FARRRRR/Grinderman
    Radio Birdman
    The Go Betweens
    Crowded House
    The Sleepy Jackson good Perth band
    The Panics another good Perth band
    Paul Kelly
    Mexico City a Brissy band (sound like wilco)
    Tim Rogers and the Temperance Union
