250 Reggo's.

Nicely summarised, Reggo!

Impaitent pricks!

They are, aren't they... :sympathy:

I must have missed the genesis of this friggin' cobblers thing, but :cobblersyeah:!


I dunno what u2start has done to itself, but it doesn't agree with the clapped-out version of IE that we have at work here. Not that it looks like any Aussie bootlegs have surfaced yet anyway... And not that I could DL them at work even if they had.

Must fix comp...

Must post in Reboot Yourself forum...

Scumbo started Friggin' Cobbler, I do believe.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Scumbo started Friggin' Cobbler, I do believe.

It's become a bit of an item.

250 Friggin' Scumbos.

 

[Alisaura]

Right... I don't actually know who Scumbo is either.

*out of the loop*

I thought there were a couple of recordings doing the rounds? I know there's one of Melbourne II, by the same guy who recorded that Cloud Control gig you saw (wish he'd gone to the one I saw too!).

 

[Alisaura]

God dammit, interference, I don't have an Android, iPad, iPhone, or any other bloody iThings! Make that ad go away! I paid good money to get rid of ads here.

The one that Triple J also recorded? Heh.

Ah... every time I tried to search, I just got a message saying the database was loading or something, and nothing happened. IE had a message saying "Done, but with errors on page". *RE*

*patience, Alison*...

How are you, Ax/Ashley/Vlad?

Actually, I should probably go home...

Aha. Ta

voted in the hottest 100.

if Plans by Birds of Tokyo makes the top 100 i'll happily do jail time for killing every person that voted for it.

 

[Axver]

So don't get how Birds Of Tokyo suddenly became popular.

I'm still dithering with my Hottest 100 vote. Plenty of songs I'd like to write in, but write-ins never have a hope.

 

[Irishteen]

Who are Birds from Tokyo?

 

[Axver]

Some random Aussie hard rock band.

 

[Irishteen]

Ah terrible I take it?

 

[bono_man2002]

Ah terrible I take it?

Far from terrible. But the song that will finish in the top 3 isn't worthy.

Haven't heard the first album, second one is pretty awesome...not so keen on the latest one.

YouTube Birds Of Tokyo - Silhouettic (I'd provide the link but I'm in on my phone)

 

[Axver]

I've heard their first album, had it since it leaked, and I think it's some pretty bland hard rock with the occasional prog metal flourish ... subsequent singles have just struck me as a watered down equivalent. Not really a fan; don't get how they're now playing Festy Hall and stuff.

We were meant to be going to a gig tonight but it's not to be. And the lunar eclipse isn't even visible thanks to cloud cover.

Bland, bland, bland.

Not really hard rock, just boring pub rock that every bricklayer will enjoy.

250 bricklayers.

 

[Alisaura]

From what the radio was saying, it wasn't even a proper sort of eclipse, just the moon turning red (presumably going through the Earth's penumbra rather than the umbra). I didn't see it either - aside from the clouds, we don't get a good view to the east here.

Also, I am bemused by the number of Australian bands with international-sounding names; see Birds of Tokyo, Architecture in Helsinki, and doubtless others I can't remember offhand (I don't suppose Washington counts).

Then you have bands coming from the UK with names like The Wombats... *L*

 

[Vlad n U 2]

And they all tend to bore me to death. I've never really been a fan of Oz musics at all. Eh.

250 eh's.

 

[Reggo]

Snow? In Australia? In December?! Tell me the news was just punking me.

 

[Axver]

Vlad, man, there are so many good Aussie bands. Don't really know why you're so quick to dismiss this country's music when there is so much good stuff being made here.

Reggo, nope, there's been snow in the high country. Not the first time recently either - some towns in the Victorian Alps had a white Christmas in, I think, 2007.

lol lol lol "victorian alps" lulz

 

[Alisaura]

Axver speaks the truth, Reggo. And yeah, Australia wouldn't know a proper Alp if one sat on it.

 

[bono_man2002]

Yes Vlad, if you brush aside most of the mainstream crap, Australia has some bloody good stuff.

Good Morning, Btw

 

[Axver]

Morning, folks.

Alison, remember the Tamborine "Mountains" behind the Gold Coast that I pointed out from the train? This country doesn't know what a mountain is!

 

[cobl04]

Innerspeaker is the best Australian album I've heard this year.

 

[bono_man2002]

Ax, are you going to see Tim Finn at the Corner?

 

[Axver]

Innerspeaker is the best Australian album I've heard this year.

Is it an improvement on their EP? Because that was just blatant sixties worship.

Ax, are you going to see Tim Finn at the Corner?

Absolutely! Alison, Charlotte, and I are all going.

 

[bono_man2002]

Absolutely! Alison, Charlotte, and I are all going.

I'll consider going, even if I barely know any solo stuff aside from Split Enz and some of his albums with Neil.
