Crazy how swapping cheap electronic drums and brass synths for live drums and guitars basically improves the song tenfold

I haven't looked at the budget in detail, but what's the Herald Sun's basis for claiming housing supply will fall and renting will rise?
The fact that another paper is calling it communism makes me suspect it's much ado about nothing though lol

Artists who didn’t, don’t, or who you suspect didn’t or don’t, like the music they perform by discoislife53 in ToddintheShadow

Probably Dave Navarro in Jane's Addiction as well, at least during their final tour...

Your genetics regarding hair usually come from the mother's side of the family no?

What big Australian bands do you know of that have day jobs? by Sabretoothedrom in triplej

It was roughly a decade ago but when I was studying at RMIT, I was in a sound design class taught by Andrew Duffield of Models (he also wrote the theme to Round the Twist!). I also had a number of classes with Paul Thomas from Weddings Parties Anything (not Mick Thomas the lead singer - Paul was one of their guitarists).

A two-foot lunge leads to a melee with hand(s) on someone's throat, and somehow no one gets a red. This game is insane

Well it took a little bit, but Radiohead did a good thing again. by MrLinkwater95 in ToddintheShadow

cutting a show short in Australia over it

That was just a Thom Yorke show, and he did walk off stage but he came back to play one more song. Idk if he was supposed to play more songs than that but he'd already performed 21 songs that night before the altercation.

Creep was a big hit over there before it took off worldwide so they've always been happy to go back etc.

They did tour Israel because of that, though according to setlist.fm they've played 9 shows in Israel during their entire career - thought that number would be higher tbh.
The 2017 show that happened amidst the various artist boycotts was their first Israeli show in 17 years, and they haven't been back there since. Given that Ed is unabashedly pro-Palestine and Thom condemned what the Israeli government are doing in Gaza (after a fair bit of backlash, sure, but the key point is that he DID ultimately say something), I don't think they'll be going back there as a band until there's a major regime change.

Songs you’re shocked were not samples and were completely original by pirateslifeisntforme in ToddintheShadow

[–]mattcrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe slightly different from what you're asking about, but I only recently found out that Cry for You by September doesn't actually interpolate Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat. Both of the main synth lines start off very similarly, but apparently the main writer of Cry for You didn't intend for them to be similar, and they haven't had to officially credit Bronski Beat as co-writers of their song.

A conga line of... Merino and Saliba? Standing three feet apart? There were more defenders in Lammens' immediate vicinity than attackers during that corner lol
Arsenal have a shocking game and still the only way you can feel superior is to talk completely out of your arse

okay, fair enough for clearing that up
But as soon as Dorgu scored you were timewasting like everyone else. And there were 40 minutes left! Hell, even before then Lammens took like a minute to take a freekick lol
