I really like Sound Shattering Sound by Gyroscope but don't really like Are You Involved?
I will expect Hilltop Hoods in the top 20 as well. Karnivool in top 20 would be great but I'm not holding my breath.
Also no Spiderbait or Silverchair? How about Powderfinger?

I'll check Sound Shattering Sound out, thanks. I haven't listened to anything other than Are You Involved, which I still really like.
Spiderbait were fun live, but as far as albums go I prefer more introspective music. Silverchair and Powderfinger were both sort of bad in the era that affected me the most. I know Internationalist was good, but it came a bit late for me. Early Silverchair was just bad music. Poor imitation. I believe they have matured over the years.

Fast Girl and Beware Wolf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEROSGu12O8 (I lose my shit when they play this live, care little for their stuff post their first two albums) >>>>>> 22 of 3 and Sexxxy
edit: also expect some regurgitator or it's criminal.

Powderfinger - Odyssey Number Five
Whatever Makes You Happy, These Days, My Kind Of Scene
Wooden Ears is a great grunge album but #5 was the peak of their song writing. Vulture St is a great rock album too.
Silverchair - Freak Show/Neon Ballroom
The Door, Slave, No Association
Spawn Again, Emotion Sickness, Miss You Love
I like Frogstomp but Freak Show was taking the grunge influences of that album and taking it to its logical conclusion. Neon Ballroom is when they injected some pop sensibilities, as if Daniel Johnson finally listened to the Beatles and Beach Boys properly. Diorama was overblown and the newest album is middling.

Nah, never much fancied them either. Nothing against them,just never saw what the fuss was about.markot said:
I get strange looks when say that Powderfinger give me the shits, though. Even back when they were playing in the Valley every weekend at free gigs I was giving them a wide berth.
Awesome. The auto shutdown for the 360 doesn't recognise that Foxtel is a media player thing, just asked if I wanted to keep it switched on while I watched Le Mans. I'm guessing it doesn't do this for streamed/downloaded movies, but it's obviously something that needs to be fixed-a-roony.

Surprised no one has mentioned The Living End yet (unless I missed it), especially considering their early stuff broke all sorts of records.
I actually think their recent stuff--e.g. White Noise--is still pretty good too. IIRC they toured for a year for that record under a pseudonym while they tried out a bunch of material.
Good to see Jebediah get a mention. I'm a fan of Superjesus' Sumo as well, but not whatever their followup was called.
Both Custard and Eskimo Joe deserve a shoutout too (for Sweater Song, not for their Black Fingernails, Red Wine era stuff).

This seems somewhat appropriate given the tone of the discussion.
PS. Jack Jones (from Southern Sons) was used for Whispering Jack's voice in the above video.
So... what about this gem?

I'm at work on the Queens berfday public holiday. It took me two hours to get here this morning because the buses aren't running on the normal schedule 
Oh, and I updated my blog over the weekend. Is there any place I can go to find stock images that won't get me in trouble with the owners?

Oh yeah, definitely. Doesn't mean they weren't incredibly popular. Isn't Second Solution still the best-selling single ever in Australia?markot said:
I wonder whether Cold Chisel and Barnesy will make appearances...

what is the deal with resistence 3. Does sony not want this to succeed?
Shocking E3 showing, and now the trial on PSN which is up on Asian PSN is quite frankly the worst level ever.
You sit in a boat shooting guys for 20 mins, and then over. What
Even the e3 level was better than that. Game looks shit overall :|
Lucky it has good boxart

So nobody knows where I can get un-watermarked free-to-use stock images? Or will I need to take some photos myself?

Damnnn. Whereabouts are you?elektrixx said:Normally my driveway leads to the road. Today however...
So in the light of the Silverchair revelations, is this now the thread where we admit to hating Australian things?
Coz I can't fucking stand Cate Blanchett. Can't stand the way she acts, can't stand the way she talks in that bullshit accent, I don't get how anyone could find someone who looks like a creepy meth addict attractive, and I wish she'd just fuck off somewhere.
Wow, that felt good to finally say.
