Digression in relation to Avant-Garde Web resource Ubu: i now feel the sun

A quick comment. This year i’ve started to actually appreciate Australian media more and more. The more i actually ‘NOTICE’ the media, the more i see how saturated we are by American influence. Recently i’ve been stumbling upon Australian music groups from the 70’s and 80’s (such as ‘Tully’ and ‘Flash and the Pan’) that are quite ‘underground’ (for someone whos grown up in a completely different era) and really quite interesting. You only hear John Farnham-eque songs on the radio but you never hear these for obvious reasons. While these are more ‘new wave’ they are actually kind of enlightening in their originality compared to music these days. Im not the type of person who says “i wish i lived in the _____”, and i do love current music, but its just the simplicity and progressive qualities of some of these songs from the early 70’s to mid 80’s that and so ‘original’.
