how is that selling out? there is demand and they are simply meeting that demand. im sure they would of loved to have done a 3rd show but their already crazy schedule doesnt allow for that. if they were really selling out they would realised their new found popularity and boosted up their ticket prices to over $90.

 

im glad the show im going to is still at the enmore. cos the second has been moved to the hordern which i hate lol.

Lisa Mitchell's album Wonder has won the AMP (Austrailan Music Prize) awarding her with $30 000.

 

It is an unlikely choice. But it was my pick for australian album of 2009 and i am very proud to say i bought the special edition of this record the day it was released.

 

For those who are a little confused. The AMP is the aussie equivalent of the Mercury.
