Australian music

In between looking for a job and a place to live, I’ve been trying to dip my toe into Australian music. If you look at my recent Blip.fm stream you’ll see some of the results of that dipping: a playlist of alternating older and newer Aussie rock tunes.

The classic tracks from that playlist were:

• GANGgajang – Sounds Of Then (This Is Australia)
• Cold Chisel – Khe Sanh
• INXS – Original Sin
• Pseudo Echo – Living in a Dream
• Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs – Poison Ivy
• Midnight Oil – Truganini
• AC/DC – Thunder Struck

The newer bands’ tracks – some of which are brand new to me in the last few days – were:

• Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars
• Tame Impala – Sundown Syndrome
• Jonathan Boulet – Ones Who Fly Twos Who Die
• Barons of Tang – Dogs of Rotterdam
• Dead Letter Chorus – Down In Your Valley
• The Presets – Down Down Down
• Wolfmother – New Moon Rising

Barons of Tang and Dead Letter Chorus are both playing at the Newtown Festival this weekend. I’m going to make an effort to catch both.
