ARIAs
 

Damn Jet really cleaned up...

Delta is starting to get her long hair back, looking fantastic. Popping out a fuck-trophy really did wonders for Kasey Chambers' cleavage too...

Rove is a dick... if Issac and John Butler weren't there he wouldn't have raised a cackle.

I heard that Guy Sebastion won a couple of awards, more than enough reason for me to not have watched it. :p Good that Jet got a few though

Jet won awards...the ARIAs are officially a joke. Where were the <I>talented</I> bands? Or is Jet honestly the best we can do?

it doesn't matter if an Aussie band is good or not... if they have even a sniff of success overseas (re US/UK) then they'll win all of the awards (unless they go through some cancer scare and survive only to remain remarkably boring like Delta last year).

which kinda stands to reason since the only thing cooking these days at home are the IDOL children and boring Delta...

... and by cooking, i mean ARIA chart rankings (which means how many twelve year old girls go and buy your record).

i remember hearing a news report a short while back about how so many home grown artists have held the No1 ARIA rank this year... pretty much entirely thanks to IDOL promotions... but doesn't that really mean that Australian music has died.

the ARIAs have always been a joke. they will remain a joke until the day AC/DC return home and burn down the building during the awards ceremony... killing all the IDOL children, Delta Goodrem, Alex Lloyd, Pete Murray and Rove... oh, and while we're on it, lets hope Mark Holden, Marcia/Deni Hines and Ian 'Dicko' Dickson are in the building as well.

then we can take a huge sigh of relief, jack off, take a long shower, and then totally rock out to the return of decent Australian rock in the shape of new bands who suddenly find the space to be noticed now that the promo-reality music generation has lost its heroes.

So is that who burned down Roves studio Bundy? :lol: better luck to them next year.
But iseriously the music in Australia has much more to it then crap pop. Shows how executives can control the culture here though. :|

I stand by my comments. Fucking wankers. Aside from that blight on the evening , what I saw was not too bad.

The showing of Sebastian and Knowles really shows the lack of depth that Idol promotes and the fact that Guy won anythin at all shows the sheep-like nature of humanity in general.

I did enjoy most other performances (except for Delta: she really is extremely boring), Missy Higgins can really string a tune together and should have beaten Kasey Chambers; her voice really gets on my nerves. The final "Super Group" was quite good- the choice of song didn't hurt though.

No time for delta.. never have and her performance at the ARIA's just reinforced it

I might rename this thread 'Let's kill some poppies' :lol:
