So who gets what? Bear in mind this is voted for solely by APRA's 30,000 members.

I sez Kasey, Darren, Melons, Kasey (ha!) and Sophie.

that Grinspoon song is a rip off of a Tugboat song (note to lawyers: it's probably not a rip-off at all, though it does sound v similar in parts)

ooh i'm an APRA member. better get voting.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 1 May 2003 08:07 (twenty-one years ago) link

I want to hear Tugboat. Jim, you're in Melbourne, right? Your band should come play this club I play records at now and again.

Okay, it's in Sydney, but Victorian bands pop up all the time...

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 1 May 2003 08:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

btw nonononono the flyer designs are not my idea!

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 1 May 2003 08:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

wait wait wait, Kasey Chambers was Australian?!?!
(haha though that explains why ilxors haven't been using her as part of a p!nk-avril-m.branch-v.carlton etc map considering the airplay "not pretty enough" got over here)

― Ess Kay (esskay), Thursday, 1 May 2003 08:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

charlie no.4 is in sydney too? are there others (apart from colin)?

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 1 May 2003 08:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

I love that flyer, Charlie. It's great! Don't feel the need to defend it! Must check it out next time I'm in Sydney.

(As for the list, fuck, the nominations for Best Dance are particularly stinky. I mean, JEEZ! Selwyn? I'm sorry, but people who look like they could be beaten up by their female fans [if any] should not be pop stars)

such a depressing list, but then these things often are. i'd be happy to see silverchair and kasey walk away with all the major awards. are there only five categories?

― angelo (angelo), Thursday, 1 May 2003 12:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

i <3 the greatest view

― minna (minna), Thursday, 1 May 2003 13:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Charlie - yeah we'd love to play at your club. We wanna come back to Sydney in October or summat..

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

ARE WEAPONS this weekend 'eh? cool.

― Savin All My Love 4 u (Savin 4ll my (heart) 4u), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wot's the name of your band Jim?

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 2 May 2003 02:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

see charlie #4's third post above

― electric tugboat sound tugboat of tugboat jim tugboat (electricsound), Friday, 2 May 2003 02:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh HE's Tugboat? Good name. Hmmm... "I'm going to see the Tugs..." yes it works on a diminutive level too, that's important. However, "Paint The Walls With Blood" is also a good name, I hope someone can use it.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 2 May 2003 11:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

ahem the A doesn't stand for Australian

― hamish (hamish), Saturday, 3 May 2003 01:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes it does, you idiot. Sorry, I'm drunk.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Saturday, 3 May 2003 05:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

No really look: http://www.apra.com.au/ : its shared with those pesky NZers.

― hamish (hamish), Saturday, 3 May 2003 11:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh yeah. Sorry!

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Saturday, 3 May 2003 11:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

isn't nz a australian state or something?

― gaz (gaz), Saturday, 3 May 2003 22:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Five for Fighting???

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Saturday, 3 May 2003 22:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

are there only five categories?

No, I rudely and presumptiously didn't post the Jazz nominations:

Most Performed Jazz Work

All the Wild Wonders - Coco's Lunch
Generating - Tim Stevens
Paul Bley - James Muller
Pray (In Your Own Way) - Steve Hunter
Seed of Delight - Sandy Evans

And yes, Charlie No4 is indeed in Sydney, but only til May 23rd.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Monday, 5 May 2003 07:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Gaz, stop being provocative. Just remember that without New Zealand, there'd be no good Australian bands or actors to ruthlessly claim as our own.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 5 May 2003 07:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

ha ha "good" ha ha

― duane (lucylurex), Monday, 5 May 2003 08:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah you can have Tim Finn and Russ Le Roq. And that Nazi from the Androdss who ended up in Midnight Oil.

― hamish (hamish), Monday, 5 May 2003 08:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

who do you mean? i knew some of those guys from the androidss, i don';t think any of them were nazis. (they'd all done prison time tho so maybe they had white power gang affiliations just 'cause that's what you do in prison)

― duane, Monday, 5 May 2003 08:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Obv none of them were real nazis, but wasn't pretending to be nazis their whole schtick? I don't think they called themselves the Androidss cause Androids.com was taken.
