I'm talking about right now and over the past 30 years or so - creativity in general.
Domesticated that list just reaffirms my point - Lewie Day at 8, Steve Strangis at 18?? lol wtf are you on? At least get some of Melbourne's better djs like Dave Pham, Mike Callander, Gavin Keitel, Ransom, Agent 86, NHJ on there. That said I am unfamiliar with Australia's dnb scene and it looks like you've got a lot of them on there.
Anyway, I'm not just talking about edm, although it does happen to highlight my point. |
I don't think the list is in order of talent. |

Regardless, a lot of those people are just small time locals. |

| Also, in terms of non-electronic we have names like Silverchair, Bodyjar, Powderfinger, Airbourne, Jet, Grinspoon, Wolfmother, John Butler Trio, Xavier Rudd, The Presets and a whole raft of others I've probably never heard of. Granted, not all of those bands are good, and not all are known well world-wide, but I think it's incorrect to call the whole country devoid of musical creativity. |

in the last year alone temper trap and empire of the sun have exploded internationally...

I think he's a rubbish player all round, he never scores runs when we really need him to, his big scores come in bull games and he's a knob. off Michael Clarke. |
that's our wicket keeper, matt prior. he scores big in tests when he comes in at 300-5 or something but when it's 88-5 he's . With Kieswetter now eligible for us, I hope that come the Ashes, he's our full time WK in all 3 forms. |

Let me just toss this into the mix as evidence of how Australia must RULE!!

NORTHERN TERRITORY- A kangaroo that is looking for love in all the wrong places is terrorising women in a small Australian country town.
The amorous animal has been spotted around the Honeymoon Ranges in Tennant Creek, in the Northern Territory, making every effort to woo a woman.
One resident told the local newspaper that she was walking along a bike trail when she realised she was being followed by the randy roo early one morning.
She said: "I turned around and saw this big kangaroo behind me, so I hastened my steps. It seemed a bit odd, but I continued walking and didn't think much about it. Then on the return walk he was there waiting for me. With his male pride on full alert, he started circling me. There was no doubt about what he wanted, the randy old thing. It was a huge kangaroo and quite intimidating. I yelled at him to go away, waved my hands about and let him know I wasn't interested, but he was persistent - I'll give him that."
The woman said it only bounded off when other walkers approached.
And it made another revealing appearance at a night-time speedway event.
Tanya Wilson, a mother of three, noticed the kangaroo had come to check out the action.
She said: "I thought it was strange that a kangaroo would come to such a noisy place, but I grew up around kangaroos so I went up to say hello.
There I was having a nice chat to him when I heard others calling out to me, warning me to step away. I didn't take any notice of them because I didn't think I had anything to worry about. I thought he was just a cute, friendly kangaroo."
Tanya was oblivious to the clear arousal of the creature, but other speedway fans knew his intentions were not honourable.
She added: "Apparently he was quite aroused. I'm actually glad I didn't notice."
There were reports that a male speedway fan confronted the kangaroo in a bid to scare it away, but came off second best when it punched him in the face. |
