Hi everyone, This is officially my third posting - how exciting! Not really, but I just wanted to use and exclamation mark. What the hell !!!! Finally, second-to-last on the list, the Big Day Out visited Adelaide last Friday, and a fine day was had by all. For the small population of SA of around 1 mil - 20,000 young and youngish packed the Wayville showgrounds in 39C heat (almost 103F) to see such drawcards as the Chilli Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Blink 182, Chemical Brothers & Foo Fighters. I am terribly disappointed to announce there were no other drawcards from the UK which is quite unfortunate as I believe their music is far superior to commercial american crap (no offence intended as I am a self confessed obsessor of foo fighters and Dave Grohl), except for Joe Strummer (Clash) and the Mascaleros, unless Basement Jaxx are UK? (sorry I don't know). Other bands featured were Beth Orton (US), Magic Dirt (AUS-Mel), Spiderbait (AUS-Bris), the Cruel Sea (AUS-Mel) and various locals from Adelaide, such as Seraphs Coal & Embodiment 12:14. This was quite disappointing, as I believe there is much more talent in SA than these Christian bands (yes, they are Christian) and they are friends of mine, so I don't mean offence. My day started drinking beer, and catching the last fifteen minutes of Magic Dirt. (cry :( ). I then caught Blink 182 (unfortunately) and I really don't know what I was doing for the rest of the day until I got to see Foo Fighters & Chemical Brothers. I don't normally get into that type of music, but they were not bad at all. I still have sore legs from dancing. My night ended at Shotz in the city, dancing to smiths and b&s, and thinking what a shame of a day it was, as I didn't really get to see much that I wanted because of the people I was with, and just thankful I didn't get that burnt. Other news - Gomez are touring. They are not coming to Adelaide. I am not impressed. Adelaide always misses out on such things, where as if they don't know, they probably have a bigger fan base here than any other state. Grrrrrr, grrrrrr. I am very cross. I'm not sure that there is anything else I can tell you except it is very hot today as well (36C) and I have lots of work to do so I should go. SWEETIE - how are you? let me know how you're going with your sister.
