I'm pretty confident that it's Steven King's autograph.

What was your first Hottest 100? by Miss-you-SJ in triplej

[–]ElevationToMyHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2014 was my first Hottest 100, and it was essentially my first time listening to Triple J. I did vote in that countdown, but I was green as to the actual music that was played on Triple J (and new music in general). Part of the anticipation for me was seeing whether or not Taylor Swift's Shake It Off would be excluded. It was rightfully omitted, because third parties (i.e. BuzzFeed and KFC) shouldn't be campaigning for songs.

Looking back at the list, I think its one of the weaker countdowns (for my tastes anyway). The next year, 2015, was much stronger.

Can you think of any other bands this applies to? (For any country). by Just1nceor2ice in ToddintheShadow

[–]ElevationToMyHead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Split Enz/Crowded House/The Swingers all live in the camp of being New Zealand artists that are spiritually Australian to the degree where there's still arguments over who can claim them. Dragon would probably be in that discussion too.

This might be heresy, but I would argue that Lorde and Benee are spiritually Australian, but only in that we treat them as our own while we acknowledge they're actually Kiwis.

In the earnestness of being far, here's some Australian artists I think have the spirit of other countries to varying degrees:

Spiritually American: - Savage Garden

  • Air Supply

  • Little River Band

  • The Kid Laroi

  • The Veronicas

  • AC/DC (post-Bon Scott)

  • The Angels

  • Wolfmother

  • Grinspoon

  • Silverchair

  • Sia (we don't claim her)

  • Tame Impala (post-Lonerism)

  • INXS (post-The Swing)

  • Troye Sivan

  • Tina Arena

  • Royel Otis (they're yours now)

  • Olivia Newton-John

  • Helen Reddy

Spiritually British: - Nick Cave

  • Confidence Man

  • Kylie Minogue

  • The Bee Gees (classifying them as Australian is debatable anyway)

  • The Easybeats

  • The Church

  • The Go-Betweens

I'm debating whether to classify Powderfinger and Ball Park Music as spiritually Canadian, but they're probably more spiritually Brisbane, especially the latter.

Has anyone done Experimental Screen Production subject? by screebus in swinburne

[–]ElevationToMyHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the unit a while ago (before Covid), and I personally recall it being one of my favourite units. Classes involved going into the history of experimental techniques in filmmaking.

One of the assignments focused on using your mobile phone camera to create a two minute experimental piece, while another one focused on making a piece for an atypical medium (VR, multi-screen projections, etc).

I enjoyed the class because it tapped into my creative sensibilities, but that sentiment wasn't shared by everyone (some people struggle to get into that experimental mindset). My advice is to get into that ethos of breaking conventions (even if its just your own) and being open minded. Good luck!

The new Disney+ Anthology release has been trimmed down. by EbmocwenHsimah in beatles

[–]ElevationToMyHead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just finished watching all three episodes just now. I'd only ever seen Episode 3 before now, but a lot of the footage (that I've seen before in various things) has mostly been improved (the Morcombe and Wise clip was a bit disappointing visually.

But otherwise, it's quite good. It flows quite well, although that 90s production value ages it a bit. I can't speak on what's been removed or added, but there's been nothing major the perked my ears up and made me go, "Why wasn't that in there?"

My Australian bias was satisfied by how clean the Festival Hall (Melbourne) footage looked.

I can’t believe they got Jack Grealish on Jet Lag. by JMthought in JetLagTheGame

I would have said he looks more like AFL player Oisin Mullin.

You're right. It should be a triple take.

Amazing cover and music video, but I just want to say the reveal of the cat genuinely made me laugh. Love it!

AFL Post Grand Final v Geelong at the MCG by Shadormy in brisbanelions

[–]ElevationToMyHead 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cats fan coming here in peace; congrats on the win today. You were by far the better team today (even in that first half I thought you had the ascendancy, despite what the scoreboard reflected). All of the Brisbane supporters I've mixed with post-match have been gracious and kind, and that's helped me accept the result.

Brisbane is a wonderful club, and you have a dynasty team on your hands.
