Love this line though Kieran - "They tilted vaguely at being political, but not enough to really piss anyone off. They tilted a little at singer-songwriter confessional, but not enough to be interesting." That's so good. and so true.
I don't know about that, I'm sure that those stupid compilations like Great Aussie Summer Rock Songz, Genuine Rock 4 Dad, Classic Aussie Roadtrip Singalongs, and Stupid Music for Stupid People Who Buy Stupid Bargain Bin Releases all probably have "My Happiness" on them.
(I write that with no particular animus for Powderfinger. I'm largely indifferent to them, in a more positive than negative way.)
