I'm a big fan mostly of Dave's solo stuff so I'd love to see him back (he hasn't been to Australia for 20 years) with a solo show. I waited around to meet them …Nothing for me :-(Here's mine, I didn't post did I? Of course since posting there's a dozen more I could put on, c'est la vie. Happy new year everyone.

What bullshit and I don't care if I sound like a whinger.I use Tune In, a recent change to their interface was a bit befuddling but I suppose I'll get use to it. Otherwise, works well.Huh. Interesting. As us grandfathered Australians never got the major label stuff any way, I wonder if this will have any effect on what is available for us. Kicking out us non US/Can/UK/EU people was one of the things they did to cosy up to the…Hey, that worked greg, thanks! ;-)Ahem, I keep an exclusively Apple home. iMac plus iPhone. I've updated to the latest iTunes and iPhone OS. Nuffink!I still don't have the U2 album. I mean, I don't want it, but I still keep checking to see if its finally there!I've seen the first 5 eps of The Honourable Woman and it's really good. Based on comments by critics who've seen them all, it's holds up til the end.

I quite like it.

It's part of the Sydney Writers Festival, although the SWF doesn;t actually start until the end of May I guess this was when they could get him…OK well, I just looked and they are back for me too. They definitely were not on the weekend because I did a bunch of searches for their artists to make sure, and nothing. Just one of those lovable eMusic experiences.
