Australian Music (continued....)

Cool. I hope you managed to get out of Canberra for a bit? A city built for politicians doesn’t exactly scream ‘excitment!’ : ) The Ne Obliviscaris track is awesome. Not so much into Daryl Braithwaite, however : ) He was too middle of the road/commercial for my tastes but I liked him more when he teamed up with members from a couple of other groups to produce these tracks.

“The Horses” by Daryl Braithwaite is for Australian youth what “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey is for American youth. Something like that.
It’s the anthem sung with equal parts revelry and jest on the bus ride to or from athletic events and such. Group bonding, basically, over something everyone knows. Nostalgia for young people.
It’s somewhat, er, mundane for my tastes as well lol

Yeah, I spent a bit of time in Cairns, was a brief tourist in Sydney, and stayed with locals in Melbourne over school holiday. Had a great time in Canberra, too, mostly because I had such a cool experience at ANU and Bruce Hall in particular. Made friends from everywhere: Australia, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Hong Kong. We drank, played soccer & field hockey, ran Inward Bound, traded music and philosophy, drank more, wore dress robes, and generally chilled the f out, while keeping up Ds and HDs in our subjects. I was trying really hard at the end to affect an Aussie accent so I could impress people back home, but it didn’t really stick. In general, I was pleased to find that as a U.S. student abroad I was as interesting to my Australian peers (esp. female) as they were to me. :wink: I hadn’t really expected that. I like my alma mater, but my favorite time as an undergrad was at ANU.

Good to hear you checked out a few places during your semester. Australians like Americans (individually) but don’t like being pushed around by the U.S. government to do things that are not in our interest. Ultimately it boils down to our sycophantic politicians not having the balls but that’s a thread on its own. :slight_smile: I ran away from Sydney (horrible place, nowadays - completely sold out to the capitalists and Chinese). I now live on the coast in northern NSW. Here, it’s still beautiful and I can pretend all is well with the world.

The singer from Silverchair was 15 when the tracks above came out. Twenty years later his newest album references his response to the legion of Silverchair fans who have never forgiven him from going solo and commercial. I’m not a fan of commercial elevator music either but nearly two decades of hate because an artist transitioned into dance and pop music? Really?

It reminds me of the uproar when Dylan went electric and the Beatles went all Indian psychedelic. Perhaps it was lucky Hendrix died when he did? He was planning to write music with a symphony orchestra. :laughing: Tru story bro

Any mention of the Powder Monkeys?

I haven’t posted them here if that’s what you mean. I posted the punkish stuff on ILO. This was supposed to be the stuff I didn’t finish posting when they took ILO down :cry:

(I am tempted to repeat some 80’s tracks however since Turd wants to ban the 80’s from ILP.)

I’d prefer you didn’t. There’s lots of Oz music I don’t like and I only want to post stuff I do like (and is relatively unfamiliar - no INXS, AC/DC etc). Look at the crap peripheral posted a couple of pages back. Awful. Post the stuff you like elsewhere. There’s plenty of room for everyone.
