 Hop the Vote!!!
While those of you in America have another month to decide whether or not to let a monosyllabic, bible misinterpreting redneck continues to lead your country, in Oz, we vote tomorrow. The rules are a bit different here, in that we vote for our local candidate, and the national majority party's leader becomes the Prime Minister. Another twist... it's compulsory... don't vote, get fined. Preferences are a very cool thing. This means that while I can vote for the party I most believe in (Greens), I can still put my next preference as Labour, ensuring that my vote isn't wasted. So, here's hoping that the Labour candidate, Mark Latham, becomes the next man in charge, and then I can talk about our two degrees of separation at the pub. ___ My flatmate wants someone to buy him one of these T-Shirts. ___  The line up for this years Big Day Out in Sydney has been announced, and includes The Beasties, The Streets, The Chemical Brothers, and bestley my dreamdate foursome, The Donnas. Get your tribal tattoo now, so you can show it off on Wednesday, January 26 at Olympic Park.
___ Thank you, Thank You, Thank You to Scott Stereogum for introducing me to my new favourite band, The Drive-By Truckers. I haven't been keeping up with the alt.country scene since I have been here in Oz, and now I have a huge back catalogue to wade through. These guys are more traditional southern rock than .alt and have great songs about Mustangs, tornados, Nixon and putting people on the moon. Their Rock Opera based on the history of Lynyrd Skynyrd has been putting a definite step in my walks to the train station each morning.
