now that the focus of the blog has shifted squarely towards long-winded rants about psychological concepts illustrated by pictures of captain picard and self-indulgent clap trap concerning the finer points of spontaneity and self-editing, i seem to be finding less time to write about some of the cool local (ie australian) music that i chance upon. i’d hoped to be doing more of that around here, through some perhaps misguided or naive notion of ‘supporting the local scene’ or whatever. so here is a bit of a raggedy collection of the bands that i have found and enjoyed recently, mostly via that dreaded myspace. each of these bands deserves an inspirational blurb that i’m lacking the inspiration to write at the moment, but more so than that, they deserve your time, so set yourself aside an hour or so and go check them all out. please.
this list isn’t exhaustive or authoritative, its an almost random collection. but i think it stands as pretty good evidence that not everyone in australia is making the same old stuff.
