Love her or hate her, she has quite an amazing and unique voice. My favourite would be The Bee.

I went to school with a girl from Iceland. Legs like tree trunks and she played the french horn!

I've got 65 hours of music there, that's more than I can listen to in a week!

Eventhough this has been done to death - I cant help myself anyway!!

I like your style Silent.. (33 days of music here )

I posted up my playlist before, but my top 10 at the moment would go something like - in no particular order....


White Stripes
Kings of Leon
Weddings Parties Anything
Pogues
The Waifs
Radio Birdman
John Butler
System of a Down
Beck
Johnny Cash

I went and started to go through the old vinyl to make a list based on time periods.
Like 1940's Muddy Waters, Woody Guthry... 1980's The Art of Noise, blur etc .... but it all got too hard ...just too many artists and genres and too many artists that spanned two or more decades.

I reckon ‘The Back of Your Head’ is their best but you might say I'm biased . It's not on their website anymore but there's a poor sound quality live video here. The pick of their current offerings is Princess, but I think the intentional poor quality at the start might put people off listening past the first ten seconds.

Short Stack

Playing at the Sandringham Hotel in Newtown, Sydney, next

Thursday 27 Sep at 8pm

Go and see the country’s hottest upcoming Indie, Pop Punk band.
Party hard and have fun! fun! fun! before you'll have to suffocate in the crowds.



Once you go Stack, you never go back!!!

Did you know that Andy once challenged a kangaroo to a dance off,
and won?
The kangaroo sued.

[/shameless plug]

OK I’m not trying to spam the forums, but I hope you’ll forgive me being a proud dad.

Stay tuned for their debut CD.
