Strange Talk cover Roxanne

My new favourite aussie band Strange Talk have covered the Police classic - ROXANNE. The band is working on their debut album at the moment so I gather this is a little something to keep us entertained while we wait for the longplayer. I love this synth heavy cover version full of keyboards and drum beats. They released one of my fave songs last year CLIMBING WALLS and I can't wait for the album. Strange Talk are definitely one to watch and its great to see a new aussie band making the FAB POP MUSIC! I love it!

Australia Day and Hottest 100

Today is Australia Day, a day when this country was founded in 1788. As i type this post I have just finished listening to Triple J (national radio station) as they played the Hottest 100 songs from 2011 as voted by the Australian public. The song SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW by Gotye featuring Kimbra was voted the hottest song of 2011 which is no great surprise. The song was everywhere in 2011 and has won every award possible (and deservedly so).

There are some great NEW Australian acts coming up like Alpine and Strange Talk who I have posted about before. I am posting videos by two other HOT NOO AUSSIE bands who made the top ten in the Hottest 100, San Cisco and The Jezabels.  Both are great songs and well worth their place in the top ten.  Enjoy!

I celebrated Australia Day this year by watching a very funny Australian movie from the 90's - Muriel's Wedding, eating Barbecue Shapes (famous aussie savoury biscuits) and listening to the Hottest 100 on Triple J. What did you do?

Strange Talk are one of my noo favourite bands. CLIMBING WALLS was one of the best songs last year. It made my Top 10 songs of 2011. Looking forward to more love and adventure from them in 2012.
