Music from the Underworld

I love Angus & Julia Stone (A&J) and their music paints such lovely pictures in my mind. Which brings me to say that i am in love with most music that comes out of Australia. We would all love to say we love our own countries' music and that the rest of the best music comes from America and the UK. And yes, a lot of great music comes from those two fore mentioned countries but i think it goes without saying, undisputed and silent victors are the Aussie's when it comes to the music scene... Their take on Indie and Folk is fantastic and the tuneage that crops up from Down Under never ceases to steal my heart with the mellow tunes and hollow twangs and of course, the heartfelt lyrics. The rock and alternate scene is great their too and their appreciation for good music is on a high level. They have an array of great festivals and concerts showcasing unknowns and also popular indie and rock bands. Although they are infiltrated with other genres such as Hip-Hop, Rap, etc, they reign in the indie scene. Unbeknown to most of the world, apart from the groupies of course, so many artists come from there, the list is long and strong and you would be surprised to hear which vegemite-eating, thong-wearing artists are born and bred on the largest island.

I salute the Aussies and thank them muchly for their great music.
