The Australian music scene (not to mention the rest of the world) has been terminal for quite some time.
Our championing of everyday schmucks like Shannon Null is symptomatic of the decline in any standards of excellence and a yearning for the common man to get his no good fugly head in the spotlight for 15 mins, even if art has to be compromised to do it.
Pretty much everything that comes out today sounds prosaic and homosexual, even the nihilistic stuff. I'm embarassed to listen to songs that come out nowadays and anything new that I do listen to has no lyrics, for fear of tackiness and emptiness.
lmfaooooo@at the only thing I can stand being the schizoid trash of Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and more down to earth schit like Crystal Method, Hybrid and Anthony Rother.
