ok while we are topic of Jeff's work ... Lover, You Should Have Come Over is by far my favorite track by Jeff. But as for releases after his death, Forget Her. When I first heard this song I was totally blown away, its pure Jeff at his best and the song upsets me in a way - because it reminds me of all the music we have never been able to hear because of his death. exactly simon, that song just has so much emotion in it. The music gives you a feeling of motion, like a travelling song, it has something to it, momentum. I really don't know how to put it into words, but that song just has something about it. It is a masterpiece.

That iphone's f**king cool as well! The hiptop's I've seen are quite cheap Vic, i agree, but I've got a contract with vodaphone, so I'll have to find out if I can buy one and use it on Vodafone, I dont see why not.

I saw on some hiptop forums that apparently the hiptop will be $449 from august. Anyone heard anything more about this....vic is this the price you have heard people paying for it? If its true i am going to wait until its that price, then we can buy them up front.

rocket - you technically could use a hiptop with Vodafone, however the majority of the content is locked to Telstra (you'd be able to call/sms and that's it) not really worth getting the handset if you can't use all the features!
kerrie - I have also read about the price reduction, but I've heard all sorts of crazy prices. Your best bet would be to speak to your local Telstra shop/dealer and let them know you're wanting to pay outright, they should be able to do you a good price.

Hell no! ;D Nah, that's not overkill at all, I'd see him that many times if he were playing multiple shows here. Got a ticket for a friend a while back too *yay* I think about 10 of my friends are coming, its going to be a great night, im looking forward to it very much ;D

I have never heard of Gotye. What am i missing? www.myspace.com/gotyeCheck out "Heart's A Mess" Kerrie - that's the song that I first heard and sparked my interest in him. Gotye's kinda hard to describe... it's just one guy (Wally de Backer) and he's a really talented muso, he primarily plays the drums and sings... but he also makes music by collecting random samples from old records and using them in his songs, similar to the Avalanches. If you (or Scott ) want I can upload some songs to sendspace... but yeah, you should totally check out his Like Drawing Blood album. Amazing!

Ahh, that's f**ked, damn, well it'd almost be worth getting a second phone on a telstra plan just so I could use the hiptop, it just looks so cool! We'll see, I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the info ;D -Andy (thought I should let people know my real name, I mean, I've been here for so long!!)

I have never heard of Gotye. What am i missing? Oh my God Kerrie, you're coming to see Gotye, there are still tix left, theyre only $30, just go and buy a ticket, you wont regret it I promise. Yeah, like Josh said, take a listen to 'Hearts a mess'. I still cant believe that guy recorded the whole thing in bedroom recording studios (protooled up without a doubt, but nevertheless)

I rememeber listening to the hottest 100 in January - Gotye got 8th i believe? Was a truly good moment, i was so happy. I'm not even a big fan, but for the stuff that usually gets served up, i was really happy as a music fan when that happened.
Anyway...

Regina Spektor is doing Syd, Bris and Melb we cant afford to travel for her which is really sad because i bought her first album in brisbane when we were seeing BC and i would love to see her live. Also bright eyes was scheduled for sept or later apparently.
