What is going to drive me bonkers when tomorrow I am overseas and enjoying five star accomadation the entire time?
I can't wait, and then it's the Christmas home straight and yes that means food, my gift registry getting fulfilled, family time and some chill time, love it.
All I want is another massive storm, how cool was the one on Tuesday Sydney Siders, not cool on the other hand was the dreadful second announcement for the Big Day Out Line up. When people like Prince are rumoured and the best they can deliver is one of the crappy Oasis brothers (which 90% of people knew that he was on the cards), it was like surprise crap line up alert!
Also the reduction of modes for the festival in SA & WA, Big Day Out and Summer Festival organisers it's time to condense yourselves into a couple of well priced, possible alcohol free, over 18 only events with a decent line up not a sub standard line up becuase there are four other festivals on that week and all the good acts are spread across them and then including a large number of filler acts.
The general public will not continue to support sub standard events guys, wake up and smell the roses.
Sorry end of rant.
Now we are into the top 40 I am going to countdown 40 inspirational artists as well to get me up to Hong Kong and a bit of Bangkok.
Number 1 is:
Sia
5 albums in and this woman is clearly one of the greatest artists of all time in my mind. She has had a rough trip to the large fan base she now has. She has collpbrated with heaps of decent artists incluign and not limited to Lior, David Guetta, Katie Noonan, Friendly, The Bird and the Bee and more.
Her David Guetta track "Titanium" for a while was the biggest tune to be lifted from his album, and it was never released as a single!
Her work with Zero 7 was also a big part of her growing fan base too and she worked with these guys from2001-2006.
Her last album "We are Born" was her most accessiable and most delicous pop album, "You've Changed", "Clap Your Hands", "The Fight" and "Bring Night" were all epic favourites!
Her first debut "Healing Is Difficult" is still a classic fav of mine. And who could forget her biggest hit and most played track on TV shows "Breathe Me".
Speaking of TV her must has appeared on Nip/Tuck, Gossip Girl, she had a song on a Twilight soundtrack, The Big C, Packed to the Rafters and heaps more!
She is our darling from Adelaide and I heart her big time! SIA!
Now for some SIA tunes for your Friday and my packing time :)
Catch y'all later!
