A Community to talk about Music from the Australian perspective.
Telling stories of Australia through music.
With few exceptions, Australian acts are permitted to have one hit in the US charts, then fall out of the international limelight.
Those acts however often have lots of other cool songs!
There are also several Australian acts that just aren't famous globally.

Hey kids, last week was so successful I thought we'd do it again.
This week's topic is Anything Goes. New, old, aussie, international.
What song's are you rocking lately that you'd like to share with the rest of us?
Cheers ๐บ and 'ave a good weekend.
Lately I've been listening to the beats from Clair Obscur https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKLI2W3fQlk
I saw the score got a write-up by ABC Classic yesterday: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08-07/lorien-testard-video-game-soundtrack-clair-obscur-expedition-33/105575166

I just happen to be clearing out a few old usb sticks right now and saw Iโd downloaded this years ago. Good timing.
I once had a VCD copy of their full show supporting The Living End at the Roundhouse in 2001. Wish I could find those.
That stock photo physically hurts me. What is with these nonsensical rhythms?
As someone who is technologically challenged its a miracle that's up there.
Your use of technology was great.
The stock artist's understanding of music theory...not so much.
Nawww. Thanks.
Went trolling through ye olde mp3 collection looking for stuff I haven't played for a while and dug up Effigy's Suspicion Bells....great way to travel through time if you were there
Fan of Tulip.
Her voice is amazing.
are personal faves.
David Byrne and Fatboy Slim collaborated to do a concept double album about the life of Imelda Marcos (I know, right?) featuring a bunch of guest vocalists called Here Lies Love, and it's kinda amazing. Here's a hightlight with Sia called Never So Big
Yello - Oh Yeah
And for a bit more Yello, Planet Dada
Resistor - You really need to listen to the whole concept album, but this is peak.
I fucking love Yello.
