This has been a Bad News Day in my personal music world, which I may rant about after I've processed it a bit.
BUT WAIT!! When Bob slams a window, he swings wide open a door so I am most thrilled to see Tim Dunlop's new music blog at Crikey has gone live. Yay, Tim! Apart from being (or because of being??) one of the world's stand up blokes, his taste in music is impeccable.*
We are not very well served by professional, MSM or semi-MSM music blogs in Oz, so this is red hot orsumness all 'round.
*with the exception of his woeful Randy Newman blind spot.

Hey, Amanda. Thanks a heap for that. Greatly appreciated. My biggest problem with the new gig is not to just be a pale imitation of FEM. Anyway, looking forward to swapping links etc on an ongoing basis.

this is funny FEM - I was just going to ask if Tim had seen your blog, but then I saw it on his blogroll...
more power to both of you!

Ha, thanks Jenny. Tim and I actually go waaay back (well, 2003) as blog acquaintances -- Road to Surfdom was the first Australian blog I ever read. And we got to have lunch in person late last year which was delightful.
See, bloggers can be just as nauseatingly back slappy and incestuously insidery as that nasty MSM!
