Hmm despite the vagueness of your description I think I might have seen her live in Melbourne earlier this year. I don't remember the name either, but I recall it was an acoustic solo performance aired on Channel 31 just before Red Ink. Could be the one. ❓

3. Since I Left You - The Avalanches
4. Themata - Karnivool

They are an especially brilliant live act.

i'll post a top 50 list by next monday harkan. I'm not going to replace my actual chart (as that took me too much time) but it's a great idea to encourage aus music.

Thread re-boot!

Just a reminder again that November is Australian Music Month. I call on users to put at least one Australian album high in their chart (even number 1) to show your appreication. For a world where US and UK music dominates the charts, let's show a little respect for Australian music.

Personally I am including a top 20 in my 50 chart for the whole month.

The list

I have 16 Lovers Lane and Oceans Apart from the Go-Betweens. A hugely influential band for many Aussie artists. Don't have anything of The Apartments but am endeavouring to listen to some more.

Chart is now up. Needs a fair bit of updating in the database. Many artists not there yet!

As the title suggests, November is the month to celebrate Australian music and two tribute concerts are scheduled to celebrate the career of icon Paul Kelly. So this thread is to talk about Australian music, recommend Aussie artists to others and anything else concerning Aus Music Month.

Also, as a personal display, my Top 50 will be my top 50 favourite Australian albums from the last 10 years. It is one album per artists and may contain many artists and albums people have not heard. Comments are more than welcome.
