hope this is true.

got my tickets this morning!! too easy :D im hoping to catch the following Foals Beach House Cut Copy Two Door Cinema Club Local Natives Deerhunter Cloud Control Yeasayer Violent Soho (wouldnt bother me if i missed them) should be a great day!!

has this been posted yet http://vimeo.com/13955727

if coldplay is to headline it would be next year imo. 2013 seems a bit too far away and their next world might be over by then. but then again the glasto crowd might be a little more familiar with LP5 by 2013 so it might create a better atmosphere.

so you have no option but to get greentix? that is so stupid. *turns on all the lights in his house and has a super long shower in protest*

yeah its the same show as that on the NPR website but compressed down to one hour. still if you want to listen its streaming now. http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/default.htm click on Listen at the top of the page.

im not too worried at this stage. if things dont improve by february then i will be worried. in regards to rooney leaving old trafford, that is a massive concern for the club and its fans.

^^ do you like the album? its one of my favourites for the year.

ah damn i need to do that too. did they send you a reminder to renew?

wow 1 year already hey. feels like yesterday i asked Alex about the idea. :) at the moment we're ranked 24th in WoM in terms of number of replies. hope to be top 20 by the end of the year. keep working at it aussies (and kiwis)

53 days before i get to see them for the second time :D

woooo finally my favourite decade of music!! OK Computer is clearly my no.1 but the rest will take some thinking.

for those you who havent heard their Damascus gig. aussie radio station triple j will be playing it 8pm Monday night sydney time.

^^ yeah but i just got back from work :( i listened to the full thing on monday night and it was a great. did you see him at splendour? the crowd sounded really into it.

thanks. but you are right Grace. a lot of bands just play stadiums because thats how popular they are. arctic monkeys dont exactly have a "stadium rock" sound, their music is very tight if you know what i mean but because theyre so massive in the UK they have to play stadiums even though it doesnt really suit their sound. INXS were like that too, playing stadiums even though it didnt work for them. a good test you could try. play a band like Muse or VLV era coldplay in the biggest room in your house or even out in the open. then play something by The National or The Panics and see how that sounds. you'll find that muse sounds much better in that setting due to the nature of their music.

awesome thank you! might make me feel better after i failed in trying to record his live at the wireless. :(

damn i finish work 1hr after this starts so i'll end up missing almost all of it. do you think they'll have it on demand on their website afterwards?

stadium rock is that big expansive rock sound that U2, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Queen and Muse do so well. a great comparison would be between parachutes coldplay and VLV coldplay. parachutes is a quiet very basic collection of songs, the songs have very few layers and are quite simple. VLV on the other hand is far more anthemic and "louder" with many many more layers creating that aforementioned expansive sound. a lot of bands make that stadium rock sound well before they ever start to play such venues. for examples pearl jams debut Ten is very much like that, it was perfect for those big arenas yet it was mostly played in small clubs because the band wasnt that popular at that stage.

just listening to some Powderfinger tonight. if these guys were either american or english they wouldve been rocking fucking stadiums years ago. and it made me realise the lack of aussie rock anthems in the last few years. i cant think of a single one since Woman.

ok latest GOOD Friday track is almost done even though it is no longer friday in most of the world. here is the artwork http://iamboigenius.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/take-one-for-the-time-keri-hilson-kanye-west.jpg he said 30mins ago he is mixing the song. EDIT: http://kanyewest.com/2010/10/take-one-for-the-team/ about fucking time!!

special 1tv is back with a decent episode [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3HIS2o4Sik]YouTube - BBC Comedy - Special 1 TV - The One About Liverpool[/ame]

i dont hate rococo but it would hardly be in my top 10 for the Suburbs.

omg so you have the new radiohead and fleet foxes album!!!! wow. i knew u were involved in the industry but i had no idea you had such incredible access :P

^^ thats awesome. is there anyway we could have a read of your thesis? i just calculated my total expenditure on gigs this year. works out to be just below $1100 not including The National which is in 2011. i rarely buy cds for more than $10 so even though i've bought about 70 cds this year it would've cost me far less than all those gigs have. and bryce im not sure how old you are but im 20 now and i saw coldplay on my 19th bday and that was only my 3rd ever gig. so if you're younger than that dont feel bad or left out or anything.

i work as a casual and earn between 200 and 400 bucks a week depending on what time of year it is. i would say about 50 would go to transport and food. the rest i save for gigs, cds and pitching in for things around the house. i spend very very little money on new clothes, or going out to clubs or on my mobile phone or any of that sort of stuff. at the moment im saving up for a car so im not spending as much i would like to on gigs and cds. oh yeah summer school is going to cost me a few thousands bucks too :S a few pages ago i said i was in law school, 3rd year to be exact and im combining that with a commerce degree majoring in accounting. law is very interesting, accounting not so much.
