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.

Speaking of McDonalds, I seriously don't understand those still eating in in this day and age. It's overpriced pseudo-food. There is no benefit. I'd rather eat a decade-old military ration, or a plain block of tofu.

The only times I've even considered it in the past ten years are in a group of inebriated friends leaving a club/party who all want to eat, plus every other shop in walking distance is closed because it's midnight

Advertising and availability. It's there when you need it, like a drug dealer.

You lived under a rock? It was played a bit on triplej for a while.
