His back and not singing about his waitress this time, from Melbourne it's Seth Sentry.



I love this album, it's out Friday and this song is just amazing, check it, it's gonna be HUGE:



From Perth, Tame Impala are with an Elephant sized tune:



This is super cute, I really dig it, it's Aussie and it's sing-a-long central:



From Brisbane Ball Park Music are doing it again with a treat called "Surrender":

  And finally it was a drama filled week @ Channel 10, first they cancelled the Circle causing a HUGE out cry from the Australian housewives, then came the realisation that axing the Circle was probably not the smartest choice when their Breakfast show is a ratings disaster and the host is a complete C*%t.   Channel Ten when I was growing up had a line up including some killer programs, Melrose Place, Models Inc, 90210 & The Simpsons (when it was good).  Now we have Masterchef (wake me up when the Allstars edition is over), The Shire, Being Lara Bingle & the Bolt Report.  It's really coming down to dumb blonde's, fat chefs & boring Kiwi hosts.   The Circle made major news this week being cancelled and I think Channel Ten may lose even more viewers, I think the ABC will continue to be the Number 3 station and Ten might fall behind SBS soon.  Sorry Channel 10 you were cool 20 years ago now your just.. well lame, maybe you should have left Yasmin's Getting Married on????
