deaths_friend Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 does anybody have any theories as to why aus music had such a shitty year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauiwi Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Define 'shitty'. Because I think the Temper Trap and Empire of the Sun would disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaths_friend Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Empire of the Sun album came out in 2008. Lisa Mitchell, Dappled Cities and Temper Trap had the only great aussie releases of the year. 2007 provided a good 10 awesome aussie albums and 08 wasnt far behind. the fact that triple j waited until july to announce thier first J Award noms is very telling.
