http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8F3KPIpWig This is a friend of mine playing one of his compositions.I hope you like.

Australian, Bill Murray as profile picture, Foals as second favorite. Marry me. :D

Using last.fm again I see, cool.

Tallest Man <3

lol, i feel like an idiot now...maybe i should research a band before actually asking for requests.

what foals album should i start with man?

die slow by health = wow.

apparently we are super compatible musically, i know from experience that this is not so, Last.fm=fail

mmm CocoRosie.

ooh interesting, i shall check that out. I've heard my bloody valentine mentioned more tims than ive said the word 'and', but still never listened to them. need to get on it! umm, my copy has the fall of man and Tsietsi which is one of their best songs EVER legit. but i also have a song called the bats that i downloaded from their myspace years ago.

tell me, what should I be listening to callum.

my personal favourite is Kool Thing

I'm convinced of Sonic Youth's greatness.

is all that Yann Tiersen the Amelie soundtrack?

listening to meshuggah makes me consider self-harm -.-"

Yeah, I sure do. Most of those plays are from a few years ago before I began to expand my musical tastes, but they're still definatly up there.

What is your preffered Mew album. If I'm going to download one, I want the best haha

hi

SCOOPITYBOOP-DOOBILYDOOWOP!

callum from usyd?

I'm no longer using this account: http://www.last.fm/user/lettersfrommim :D

Hell YEAH!

Well, i haven't got the new "Broken Social Scene Presents..." albums, but i think You Forgot It In People is my favourite. Especially the few songs from "Anthems for a Seventeen..." through to Lover's Spit. They work so well together. I love how it's just a big family of ridicoulously great musicians coming together and playing music together for the fun of it, you can tell they really just enjoy playing music.

Thanks dude, Yeah i write a decent amount i guess...? Half the time i screw myself over with trying to write in a certain way/genre, so i have a bunch of random all over the place recordings and songs, that really don't have that much direction. I need people to play music with, as half the time in my head i am imagining like at least 10 people playing, but can't exactly execute that by myself.

oh sweet, didnt know you dug bowerbirds. gooooood stuff. miss you man! x

'teen dream' is pretty fantastic, far more developed than 'beach house' and 'devotion' - the reverse delay and warping under 'Norway' completely blows my mind. You should check out Surfer Blood 'astrocoast', give it another month and it'll be the next hipster-wank-judge-if-you-don't-know-it-yet album

hospice is a brilliant album, have you heard 'in the attic of the universe'?

this is quite a cool website/program

late of the pier are pretty good, i just have 2 random tracks by them though. really need something substantial. checkout ghoul (http://myspace.com/ghoulsydney) you might dig them!

http://www.last.fm/music/She's+themorning+and+thenight - I think you may appreciate This duet. [track artist=she's themorning and thenight]wolves[/track]

haha, ive been listening to them for quite a while man, ive got the old version of the ep which is 8 tracks long, plus ive got 2 tracks i nabbed off their myspace a while back ;) haha. in regards to the shout below me, i got called a cracker the other day by mittas dad hahahaha, he thought i was andy stewart.....pretty sure im nowhere near as white as andy...i could be wrong i guess haha.

hey i really like your music list, i was thinking you might enjoy this australian band i found, they're catchy as. http://www.last.fm/music/En+Tout+Cas hope you like them as much as i do

really nice taste

i havent heard much of it bro, i heard the first single they released and i only listened to it once. Havent listened to anything else since, i dont want to hear it till my copy arrives hahaha. should come in this week hopefully. :D hey do you use skype? my msn hasnt been working lately, i miss you.

callum: the awesomest dude lurking the internet

raaaaa! lack of internet at home is killing me... im so weak haha

hallo! good to see you're a mew fan.

I alway felt a certain bond to 'A Weekend in the City', though 'Silent Alarm' was groundbreaking. 'Intimacy' just didn't light a spark in me as the other two did, but I appreciate them for their earlier efforts and I listen to them often... I will go for the first night of the Sydney Festival, but then I am off to a road trip w/ three friends and I will be back in time for Arctic Monkeys. I am keen on seeing Grace Jones, she is an icon, great looks, awesome vocals and the best James Bond villain, together w/ Christopher Walken as Max Zorin. 'A View to a Kill' must be my favourite James Bond film, together w/ 'From Russia w/ Love'... Anyhow to make you more jealous, Sigur Rós' performance was one of the most capturing of my life, the sound, the atmosphere, it kept me still for the whole time, closing my eyes and having to portray Iceland and all the mixed feelings and slow motion vibe they bring. Truly astonishing, in my Top 5 Favourite Gigs of All Time

shhh dont miss judge Canberra.. yesyes it has that "boring" stereotype, but hey there are lots of cool people and stuff yeah... hmm yeah there are a couple of local bands.. nothing amazing really though.. just funk,punk, rock stuff. well hope you have fun here, never been to the gallery, i should probably check it out hey? yeah camera kazi is this little 'band' my friend danny and I started a while back.. hmm nothing special really.. he's pretty good at what he does though.. so where you say you were from?

well... if you have friends and all its quite good.. there are a few good Canberra bands playing sometimes at some youth centers, nothing big though.. ill suggest just chillin with people (have any friends from berra?) at the center of the city (civic) which is pretty fun.. there are some hip coffee places and some good shops as well.. its just a chillin spot really.. hmm yeah.. well you marry Laura, im marrying Blaine!!!

yeah she is the charmer isn't she... mew is great really... well im from canberra, will be driving up there to see them. should be good..

... (pt2) the same friend got me into Mew also in 2005 and they will release their new album soon (the first half of 2009). It would be tough w/out Johan, but I am sure they will be able to amaze us and astonish us as before... Did you see Sigur Rós when they came in August for Splendour?!

I saw Bloc Party last year and in 2005 at the Metro, the first time was very memorable, but the second time couldn't top it, still I enjoyed them live very much, especially at the Metro. Last month I didn't want to go because I don't like the new album so new songs would've gotten on my nerves and there wouldn't have been space for the classics. I hear from my friend it was good, but still... I don't regret it... I kinda agree w/ the Depeche Mode fact, but I am more a fan of Black Celebration, Some Great Reward and Violator, there isn't doubt that their albums are classics and deserve a place in modern history. Their new stuff still captures me because they are doing what they are known for and don't just play like a reunion band w/out any new material... W/ the Knife, my friend got me into Deepcuts back in 2005 and I never looked back ever since. The DVD is amazing, like a horror/thriller forest documentary followed by the soundtrack that gives the same vibe over and over...

Mew are amazing, very minimalistic, but yet so epic and capturing. Depeche Mode are living saints that never seem to let me down with each listen of their songs... Regarding my comment, it's positive, so you don't need to stress yourself about it. Didn't mean to cause confusion and I seem to be very mysterious about my answers, as well into which direction they lead to... Nice job listening to the Knife, one my favourite electronic acts and nice Le Specs

yeah they are so amazing really. they better come to australia already, ill faint. hey you going to mystery jets? should be good.

Very minimal taste. Like a great Tetris game, everything seems to fall into the right spot with additional space getting ready to be filled up

nice glasses. nice charts.

hey buddy right back at you... im going to steal sooo many of your influences its not funny and thankyou sooo much for getting me into this xo

it counted all my itunes plays ha! oooh, low compatibility :P

OI! + Mighty Boosh! Rumor has it they are comming here! You've seen live in brixton, yeah?
