Music in Australia

is it me or has popular music lately been fucking awesome lately??

its like this influx of great music is blowing up over here, for The Presets to win album of the year is fucking sensational.. those guys are a massive inspiration.. i was impressed when they gave the acceptance speech, they said "most importantly we wanto thank our label, cos when we were in our bedrooms making this kind of music when noone wanted to hear it, they stuck by us" and now look what they have done?? they've brought a totally orginial sound and just raped the country with it.. i was watching foxtel at a mates place when MGMT "electric feel" came on, what a fuckin song? i would never expect that kinda shit to do so well here.. fucking oath. its an amazing song.. but for there shows around australia to all sell out almost instantly... there album has sold like hot cakes.. and if you havent copped there album you definately should, probably my favourite release i have heard in a long long time... australia's musical taste is impresssing the fuck outta me!! kings of leon "sex on fire" is another one? what an amazing song. im totally grateful that the festival song has taken off as well! .... im really loving australia's take on music ATM.. its given me faith that good music will work down here.. The amount of live music and festivals going on as well, especially in melbourne... you gotta be happy. i havent heard kanye's new album 808's and heartbreak, its going to be interesting, i have heard its amazing... looking forward to giving it a listen.. his got balls.
