Chit Chat Part 2

[goal sneak]

Yeah got the first two series on DVD. Apparentley there is a season 3 with a complete new cast. Starts tomorrow in the UK. Will be interesting to see what direction it takes.

 

[bigpapagman]

The main character in the 3rd series is Effie & all her mates. There are cameos from some of the old cast, but it is mainly about her.

 

[chucksnephew]

Sneak, have you ever been onto the site: last.fm?

 

[bigpapagman]

yeah i have. it's pretty wicked.

 

[chucksnephew]

yeah i use it flat out... you find some really good music in there that you either forgot about or have never heard before

 

[bigpapagman]

or they state the bleeding obvious sometimes.


i had one of my bands listed as Audioslave and they said i might enjoy Soundgarden & RATM.


lol.

 

[chucksnephew]

Yeah fair point, but there's no such thing as too much chris cornell...

 

[bigpapagman]

very true.

Yeah chuck use last.fm all the time. It is a great source for finding new music. Between that, pitchfork and music blogs I reckon I spend a couple of hours a day.

 

[bigpapagman]

Christ. settle down. several hours a day. do you ever find some really bad music?

 

[goal sneak]

Yeah some of the tunes you come across are not fit for anyones ears.

 

[bigpapagman]

look for brokeNCYDE.


wow.

 

[L Jetta]

Hype Machine is good for new music

anyone with spare time should check out:
Dances With White Girls
DJ Sega
Brodinski

Dance wise, this is what i'm getting into at the moment
also anything off the Fools Gold label, having signed Bag Raiders, who are probably the best djs/producers australia has to offer at the moment. With Shooting Stars (instrumental is the key) plus Fun Punch which has been around for a while but still a good song. Run by A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, will be the new Ed Banger with more of a hip hop vibe

 

[goal sneak]

Why would you want the intrumental version of shooting stars? Rhys' (from Ted & Francis) vocals are one of the most beautiful things I have heard and is what makes the song.

Leroy I find elbo.ws to be better than the hype machine personally.

They tried it 10 years ago, not sure what weekend it was but didnt work. The people went broke and bands didnt get paid.

very good. tell julian i'll be calling him soon.

 

[Axe Man]

I went to it. I think it was just one weekend in summer (maybe Feb?), not a long weekend or anything. It actually had a pretty good lineup of Aussie Bands at the time. From memory there was The Living End, Superjesus, Shihad, Area 7 (anyone remember them?).

For whatever reason nobody turned up, which was sort of good in a way cos you could just waltz up to the front row and watch the bands.

 

[goodie]

damn.

what bands etc played?

 

[goodie]

ignore me didnt reload before posting.

 

[saint leo]

Think it was called "Rock the Park".

I had some mates go, i heard the second day some bands didnt play cos they were not going to get paid.

There are so many music festivals now in melbourne you would have to do something bloody good to get 10,000 people out to warragul to make money.

 

[Axe Man]

I only went on the Saturday, but I heard the same thing about bands not playing on the Sunday. I definately saw the Living End and Superjesus play on the Saturday night. Can't remember who else I saw though.

It can be pretty hard to get a festival up and going I reckon. The first year of Pyramid Rock was pretty small and probably could have folded, but to the organisers credit they came back and it got bigger and bigger.

 

[bigpapagman]

lol. i love pyramid.

definitely going again this year.
