please. Not even joking. I love it, it's even better than the original.
I love Kylie, but that's a shit choice
Try anything from Impossible Princess, which is easily one of the 40 best albums of all time.
Confide In Me is already on there
and I like it. And, like, Esben the Witch and Catherine A.D. have covered it, and I can't think of any other songs of hers I've heard acts I like cover.
yeah, Confide in Me is one of her best 5, for sure
hm. spin off thread?
as they don't have Spotify in Oz, I've popped it on here
Hit play all and it'll find the YouTubes
http://dir.playlistify.org/11039/Drowned-Down-Under.html
An Australian playlist shouldnt be without - GOD - My Pal (1987)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MyFFojh0aI&feature=related
Waarabout
A bit of The Triffids - Wide Open Road

nick huggins - sea adrift
outouto - tennis players
touch typist - nostalgia is a lake
seagull - grand mother
oscar & martin - chaine maile
hello satellites - building a wall

I dont undertand why Tullycraft are on here?
They're American right?
Also, no Smudge?
Divan is a must.
grrrr
didn't have time to double check every single request on Facebook.
OK, thats cool,
just wandered if i'd missed something.. Defintely American.
what is Australia Day?
why?
.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Day
It's a national public holiday celebrating fireworks
and a radio network's poll of listeners' favourite songs of the year
I Think You Need Some Laughing Clowns There Mate
and maybe some Severed Heads.
How about some Autohaze?
Hanging Around or the like?
I know Jet are shit, I dislike them intensely but 'Are you gonne be my girl'
is a tune to be fair.
No Ratcat?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzdVQ7SXK4E&feature=BFa&list=AVGxdCwVVULXd04rS1DdMRWEK4jFWf4v9e&lf=list_related
Or Icehouse?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mkidP2OUCk
THIS LIST IS A FRICKIN JOKE MATES.
If we're going to include a Vines track
can it be 'Winning Days' please, cheers x
Ben Lee - Catch My Disease
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqQkjGXkmQQ
do you want any
METAL?
\m/
?
what no Johnny Farnham...
Or Barnesy
wot no Chisel?
isn't thingy from australia?
you know who i mean...him with the hair....thingy!
J-Do?
there's a distinct....
....lack of quality control going on with some of these suggestions, may just as well whack on Kylie & Jason and be done with it!!!
i dunno
i've tried not too include anything that sounded too shit but gotta admit, i'm not familiar with ALL of these acts. the latter half is maybe a bit weaker, but, yuhknow, it was a collaborative thing and most people won't get THAT far.
Thank god, most people will be spared Slim Dusty then.
as it 'appens.....
...I did a little list a couple of weeks back (includes Kiwis but hey, they're all sarf of the equator)
http://open.spotify.com/user/apl1927/playlist/1GscnWTMraUFxXcDmETTaQ
Tame Impala!
FFS!
I've only been coming to these forums for about 5 years or more, plugging Underground Lovers every chance I get.

Las Vegas:

You could add something by Gerling!
Maybe the song Death To The Apple Gerls or maybe Ghost Patrol.
CIVIL CIVIC?
They are living in London but are essentially a Australian band.
What about some Rose Tattoo?
some good picks in your list, though, sean
particularly impressed to see Sherlock's Daughter in there. I could give you a couple of day's worth of suggestions, without even doubling up on artists, but for now, here's a playlist I made for the last CD swap:
Shivers — Love Positions
Collide — Halogen
Fascinator — HTRK
Tantalized — The Church
Mars Needs Guitars! — Hoodoo Gurus
Pilot In Hell — Severed Heads
Jack Star — The Paradise Motel
The Deer In You — Gerling
A Trick of the Light — The Triffids
I Was Right — Underground Lovers
Every Hour God Sends — Jack Frost
In The End — Sherlock's Daughter
Aeons — The Presets
Maryanne — The Clouds
Pace It — Magic Dirt
I Am What I See — Single Gun Theory
This Day — The Sleepy Jackson
Black Dirt (Interlude Version) — Bumblebeez
The President's Assassin Speaks — The Hummingbirds
thanks
although i should clarify that the suggestions came via here http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10150537436303145&id=19343183144
I'd add all of these but I've got tonnes to do today and spent all morning compiling list. If anyone wants to shove a playlist together with the remaining suggestions I'll happily drag and drop 'em in.
Quite like this one song by some tranny called Kirin J Callinan
http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Kirin_J_Callinan/Broadcast_Three/New_Weird_Australia_-_New_Weird_Australia_Broadcast_Three_-_02_She_Live_on_New_Weird_Australia
kinda like an abstract-electronica baroque pop mix up type thingy. might make it my thisismyjam of the week
reading this thread, I'm ashamed to be Australian...
Christ, me too
I come to DiS to escape from half the bands mentioned in this thread.
Ben Lee?? for fuck's sake
Powderfinger's finest work
was calling him a precocious little cunt. Then they ruined it by apologising.
Why AC/DC tribute band?
they don't seem to have any music on Spotify
Am I too late?
Snowman.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNCTUmw4bM&feature=relmfu
Better late than never?
Blank Realm - Crystal Ball
Naked on the Vague - Poltergeist Palm Tree
Kitchen's Floor - Back Home
Kid Commando - I'd Make Great Soup
Oren Ambarchi - A Final Kiss on Poisoned Cheeks
Good to see
Aussies getting some love here... mind you, there not shy of indulging in a spot of self-love. I liked the way you put the list on Spotify, Sean, knowing full well Aussies don't have access. Nice touch! ;)
Can I suggest we have something similar for NZ music on or around Feb 6 (our national day) ... quite likely to be way better.
I don't know about *way* better, but it'd be a cracker of a list, for sure
Love of Diagrams
Beaches
Here's some just off the top of my head
Lock it - Falling Joys
Mammalian locomotion - Abbe May
Sweetness and Light - Itchee and Scratchee
Leaving home - Jebediah
Blubber boy - Regurgitator (or something off Unit)
Laughing Clowns - Eternally Yours
My Friend the Chocolate Cake - Song from under the floorboards
Ed Kuepper - Honey Steel's Gold
Tall Tales and True - Trust
Boys Next Door - Shivers (may as well get every Nick Cave incarnation)
Also for Australia day, you should probably do Cattle and Cane by the Go-Betweens as well, as it really evokes life in Queensland. Or Bye-bye Pride, for a good exposition of Cairns and North Queensland. Then again, Streets of Your Town is pretty bloody good song writing too.
And Wide Open Road by the Triffids is another obvious choice.
Rob's calls for Underground Lovers and Single Gun Theory are spot on too. I'd go for Las Vegas by Underground Lovers and I've Been Dying by SGT. Or maybe My Estranged Wife.
Probably a lack of pub rock in there to accurately reflect historical Oz music. So yeah chuck in some Rose Tattoo, Angels, Cold Chisel.
Shit, have you got any Easybeats? Go for Sorry, that's probably their best track. Or Friday on my Mind. And if you're going back that far you may as well put in some Johnny O'Keefe - Wild Child. If you can't find it the Iggy Pop cover is acceptable as that's what they use on Rage.
Russel Morris - The Real Thing. Billy Thorpe and the Aztec - Most People I Know (Think That I'm Crazy). Skyhooks - Horror Movie. Nah, Women in Uniform actually. Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive.
I could really go on a lot longer, but I should stop and think and put it in a more orderly fashion
this is no time for thinking, Charles
there's patriotism to be done
Patriotism ahead of thinking
and before you know it you're requesting Bee Gees tracks. (Stayin' Alive is pretty bloody good though).
By the way I misled you re fireworks - noticed last night that Federer and Nadal had to stop play during their semi due to a fireworks display. So Melbourne at least has them besides Perth. I think it's a fairly recent thing though.
I'm never going to believe a word you say again
I'm also inclined to suspect that any youtube clips of North Melbourners scoring goals against Fremantle are shams that you've knocked up in some ludicrous attempt to deny reality.
Accusations of denying reality.
Coming from a Freo supporter. I'm rolling my eyes.
This is the Dockers' year!
Just you watch! This season they're
etc. etc.
Hooly fuck!
Another Freo fan!
This is the year (as we've been saying for sixteen heartbreaking years).
B(if)tek - Machines Work
Also, gotta have me some Tumbleweed, who practically invented stoner rock, long before all your Kyusses et al jumped on board. God or Sundial, thanks.
Oh, and what about the Hard-Ons, how about we add in the AC/DC factor by including their cover of Let There Be Rock with Henry Rollins. Ta muchly.
Painters & Dockers anyone?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxuzsxNkDxY
Fuck yeah!
What was the line about Madonna in Nude School? It was right around the time her nude pictures came out.
Somebody thinks she's Madonna, but we've all seen the pictures
She aint that hairy, her legs aren't that fat.
Jenny(?) thinks she's Madonna, but Penthouse changed all that
they always put on a hell of a live show too
would often strip while playing nude school, and on more than one occasion I saw them, they had a guy running through the crowd waiving a chainsaw about.
That's the one. Jenny.
I believe the principal was outschlonged by one of the year 12s too.
Missed them live, but everyone I knows who saw them agrees with your assessment
the middle east - lonely
also how could i forget
arnold by luke million
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJdMjRHRLfg
Until Eddy Current Suppression Ring are on the playlist
Than I think it is void.
Ideally "Which Way To Go".
Can safely say...
i don't like any of thoses. Good at sport. Shit at music
- (s)
Of all the Nick Cave songs...
...you pick some bit of fluff off one of his worst albums?
