When I heard a local show talking about this Australian artist doing "strange" music, described as "Alice in wonderland if she took the wrong pill", I thought I'd check her out more.
Just downloaded her album, pretty whacky.
Anyways, this is the first thing of hers I saw, bit along similar lines of Tori Amos, but I personally like the style of this one a bit more. Kinda like Kate Bush, kinda like Jenny Morris.
Former opera singer apparently?
Anyways, thought you might want to take a look

Girl does weird things with her voice manipulation, and has a pretty cool clip..

Yeah, I don't usually like a great deal of Aussie produced music, but this years ARIA nominees actually have some great stuff among them.
Might actually buy this girls album, haha, me supporting a musician that much is almost unheard of, but overall it's a cool, weird album, great musical style.
Ha. Just saw a song she wrote dissing the "idol" shows, ours anyway.

Man the Arias are a joke, the only good thing is the after party.....
IT's a load of shit,, not since You Am I won the record amount for a year which was seven was it decent.... I think Powderfinger broke that a few years ago...
But it is such a joke, that the Go-Betweens won there first two years back for adult contempry, Wrong category to start with and then it turned out it was one of the awards they didn't telecast live...
7 months later Grant McClenaN is dead.... he could have had the award he deseverd for so long.....
The Arias are a joke!

I don't mind Josh Pyke, Ash Grunwald, ^THIS^ girl, Gotye, even airbourne is a half-decent tribute to acdc, I like Sarah Blasko, Xavier Rudd is pretty interesting too.
The ones I'm getting fucking sick of are powderfinger...they just don't do it anymore, but most of all, a newer release that they all seem to be pissing themselves over "Sneaky Sound System", I HATE it it's a boring, repetetive piss-weak rip-off of someplace between Moloko and Morcheba. I was sick to death of that shit within a week of first hearing it...
The rest od the nominees are between so-so and "not my kinda stuff", but I actually do like the stuff I've mentioned up top.
Don't usually fig the Aussie stuff all that much and let the ARIAs go unnoticed, but there's an ok bunch among it all this time, I think.

Sarah Blasko hey, I know her and her band.... She is a snob bitch, but Robo is cool, he is her co songwrtiter now...
I didn't even think of the arias this year as I'm out of the country, I will have to find the nominees and check if any of my mates got in...

Yea, I'm sick of Powderfinger. They used to be good a couple albums ago.They seem to have lost their edge. Sad. It's like Silverchair, I remember when they were a rock band

Yup, that's an opinion a lot of people seem to share right now.
