Great Australian Albums

There is a show on at the moment on SBS called Great Australian albums. I'm really enjoying it. Unfortunately I've missed all the ones that I've actually really wanted to watch i.e. Nick Caves one and The Triffids. Anyway, for anyone watching the series too I've loaded up all the albums from series 1 and 2. I haven't listened to all of these. Powderfinger and H & C I've thankfully avoided but I might just give them a shot.

UPDATE: Im kind of pissed off that the only comments I get is probably on one of my least favourite posts, Hunters & Collectors. I've decided to take down H & C, Powderfinger and Silverchair posts. The password for anyone who downloaded H & C, it is: overhere. Everyone's been asking about that one bloody post. I actually really want people to look at the other way more interesting artists. Check out Francis Plagne, Emeralds and Space Cactus. Honestly, they're so much better, just take a little step into the dark please.

Francis Plagne- Francis Plagne
