"Music you have in common includes The Raveonettes, Depeche Mode, New Order, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Taio Cruz." Ha! Which one does not belong?

3rd now i see.

Hi. I made an mp3 compilation of my last.fm friends' number one tracks, including yours. You can read about it and download it here: http://popouttracks.blogspot.com/

Actually I got no idea what the hell is occuring in Sydney or even Australia since I have been travelling Europe for more than two months. So far enjoying the old continent and the old homelands, finally got the opportunity to see some great acts, eg: A Place to Bury Strangers, Asobi Seksu, Atlas Sound, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, the Antlers, Cymbals Eat Guitars, HEALTH, Apparat, the Horrors, Voxtrot, Whitest Boy Alive, Grizzly Bear and etc. As well it has been awesome seeing friends, meeting randoms and sharing experiences. To be honest, not looking forward to returning to Australia in some ways... How are you?!

glad you liked it.....sent it to another American girl with less Indie type tastes and she said she liked it....but i got the impression she hadnt heard the original and perhaps hadnt appreciated it was actually quite a cool cover!

My fav one is called Flame On...they only had recorded an EP...after that they changed the name of the band for Eugenius...hope you like it!! ;)

Sydney's quite isolated when it comes to every kind of art or expression, still a long way to develop itself w/in the fields of architecture, design, etc. Though we have amazing internet access and exposure to discover new bands and hear all this music, on other hand lack of gigs is imminent... Recently I've seen this New Zealand indie pop/twee band the Brunettes, they are very bubblegum-pop w/ catchy lyrics and hooks, combined w/ Kate Bush theatrics. Besides that the more known acts I've seen lately are the Rapture, Metronomy, Junior Boys, Metric and Crystal Castles... So you live in the surroundings of the 'city of brotherly love'?! I get what you mean about the big apple, but yet you get some pretty sweet gigs compared about this city. Even Melbourne's slightly similar, except they have a better-developed local scene and are much more noise-friendly. Sydney's quite the touristic, corporate, profitable metropolis...

well i have joined facebook but i havent really used it...apart from saying hello to a couple of friends in foreign climes...

Hey again...hehehe...have u ever heard a band called Captain America?

Hello, Last.fm friend. Your taste in music interests me (or else you wouldn't be my Last.fm friend). I have learned from you and would like to share a few things. I have a new music blog where I upload sonic gems I have found over the years. I call it Popout Tracks. I hope you'll check it out from time to time and download some tunez. http://popouttracks.blogspot.com/ Best, jessesamuel

Shitnee's horrible regarding gigs. Lack of exposure to good and great bands, as well closing down live music venues that have been the setting stone for some of this city's greatest artists. Overall I'm not impressed w/ this on so many levels, but what can one do?!... I wish this city would be like London, Hamburg, Berlin, Zurich or Paris, yet the thought of coming to the end of the world does seem like a long way for some... Where do you live at the moment?!

I also like We are Scientists

Thnxs!!!!! I'll listen to them too

Lucky girl u are!!! maybe one day....right now i'm listenin to Skywave....great band!!!!

Manchester is a great place...specialy when you live in Brazil...hehe

now isnt that a much nicer photo?hmm? :-)

hey lady? are u there?

The hardships of living at the end of the world, an enormous disadvantage I cannot escape from. Though lucky me, I'll be seeing A Place to Bury Strangers in either London or Paris late next month. Something certainly I wouldn't wanna miss out on + to make my Australian friends jealous. In other ways it is uncool that Sydney's not exposed to so much goodness as the other cities, though the city can have such a great underground and independent perspective. Damn Melbourne, they've done wonders to that city... Anyhow thanks for the heads up, I'll make sure to take your comments w/ me each time I listen to A Place to Bury Strangers and when I indulge myself in their theatrics... Greeting from Shitnee

i wanna be in Manchester!!!!

hi hi!!!!!

Hey "friend", nicely done job w/ Kate Bush. A simply underrated songstress. Also I can see you've been digging into A Place to Bury Strangers. There's so much to be said about their blissful tunes, though I'm still discovering their second album, but it is slightly getting adored as their self-titled debut. Cheers for the Rakes as well... Greeting from Sydney

Cheers for the request, I’ll reiterate... Great music tastes.

yeah, cool! i am seeing a place to bury strangers here in a few weeks also. you know they have the new album coming out next week? new 7" too! i hope you can get it a couple days early at the show.

you like some pretty cool stuff. i approve.

We seem to have a quite similar taste in music. So I though t you might like DADA DUMDUMS (SIOUXSIE ( BAUHAUS-influenced) I recommend [url=www.lastfm.com/music/dada+dumdums/dada+dumdums/Hourglass+Land]HOURGLASS LAND[/url] for first listening, Best wishes, yens

An intriguing repertoire, I must admit... especially w/ Inspiral Carpets as the lead and who would blame them w/ such a great debut "Life". Also each and every Kate Bush enthusiast must be admired, and lastly followed by the House of Love... Lovely greetings from Sydney

Your clear obsession with British music is entirely complimentary.

Wow, never seen that b4. Our compatibilty is in the red (Super). hehe, u listen to the same music as a german...

Hi there, the mighty lemon drops and the house of love - a perfect choice of music to listen to ! Greetings from Germany - IndiMichi

fell asleep at 6....

yes i am,only not as charasmatic!And he is better looking....6 years,,,ouch.Music will save you(with a bit of vodka)

long way to travel for a date...and yes your drunkeness has taken over!!! I suppose its kind of natural to feel at home as you clearly like a lot of British music.Are you now beginning to look like your picture?I look like mine......

you miss it,does that mean you are British?only 4 hours this week until we put our clocks forward next weekend.I seen Morrissey on tv ending a night with Cosmic Dancer once.Think he grew up a T.rex fan!

i am fine thankyou very much,how are you indeed?it is 3.30am here and i am having some beers and some new music.....you?

Im nearly pissed but not quite!you can take the Loved heart off you know!I like seeing young T.rex fans in America,as he tried often but never quite made it there whilst alive

what ??? only 1 loved track! Im sure you love loads,but what was it about that one that inspired you to say you loved it?

Thanks Valerie!

Yes, I recently started using Facebook the last past month, so at the moment is a little bit "empty" of images... but I will upload some of my albums to give it some color or better black n' white taste. My name is Carlos Visentín ... "icarokar" it's only my log name on my Unix system.

Well... It's a famous spanish photographer's picture. Some concepts are mixed up in something to do with my life and I saw it very fitting for the occasion. Nothing else.

Guau! Now friends. A new path.

Hi Valerie, hello again :-) I have to say that I often listen to your music library. I find there lot's of songs I live and lots of songs I donÄt know but which give me new impressions and often I have a deeper look at the bands! You would fit perfectly in our last.fm group of radio-shadowplay. Will you become a member? That would be really great (and the group radio will be added by some fine music :-)) Have a great week! - Greetings from Germany - IndiMichi
