Thanks guys, I can occupy myself for the next week or so listening to these! Some I already know, like obviously Eskimo Joe, but also JET, Powderfinger, The Temper Trap and Empire of the Sun. But I know that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's still so much to catch up on! *runs to YouTube* :escaping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeya Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 All of you had posted quite a decent list of bands. Ah and how can I forget The Presets..They're awesome :awesome: I also kinda like Coldplay's opening band Decoder Ring. They're pretty good I think..

The Escapist Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 but its not just the local scene im talking about. look at the current charts. in the top 10 right now you have david guetta akon black eyed piss (or is it peas not sure) cascada jay z and rhianna. and the highest charting aussies are guy sebastian and jessica mauboy. rock is almost no where to be seen. the highest ranking legit rock song is She's a Genius by Jet at 25. i dont want to ruin the positive vibe of this thread. but i have to get this out there. i am ashamed to live in a country where a 'thing' like Pink is able to go 9 times platinum while a truly brilliant local talent like Sarah Blasko can only go Gold. its a f$)#ing disgrace. I know what you mean. It pisses me off as well. Its all just shit. Just as aside, what do you think of Kate Millar-Heike? 1 1 11 1 SEXY BITCH David Guetta Feat.

deaths_friend Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 re: miller heidke i remember the kinda weird song she did about 3 years ago that was popular cant say ive heard much of her since. what has she changed to suddenly become so commercially viable. the albums charts at the moment are pretty ok. muse, pearl jam, barnsey and farnsey arent too bad. i looked up the pommy (the english for the non aussies reading this) charts expecting a very impressive top 10 but aside from falling in love with Sweet Disposition a good 12 months after it became popular here, its just as bad as ours.

deaths_friend Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 sorry to sound very rude. but im extremely busy with uni at the moment. but i will quickly give you the best way to download them yourself in decent mp4 quality. 1. find all the videos on youtube. they played the following songs. all are available. Life In Technicolor Yellow Lost Clocks Viva La Vida You're The Voice (With John Farnham) Fix You 2. download this program "Youtube Downloader HD" http://www.youtubedownloaderhd.com 3. Copy and paste the youtube links into the program. choose the quality level you would like the videos to be in. download or 4. try and look in the multimedia section of this forum. im sure you will find something PM if you have any problems.

On that topic, I am going to A Day On The Green next feb, with the Hoodoo Gurus and Evermore playing. NICE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
