There seems to be a really wide range of tastes in music here which just shows how diverse this group is. My own tastes are pretty broad too, anything from Dylan to Dido, from Pink to Pink Floyd.
I haven't heard of many of the European groups/artists mentioned as they seem to be swamped in Australia by British and American music and of course our local stuff. Hard to get air time with that sort of competition, but what little I have heard has with few exceptions been very good.
I can't help it but when I hear some of the more negative comments "outsiders" have made about Fucking Amal, especially the one which goes "Why bother making a movie about a relationship that's doomed to fail?", I have to say "Go on to U-tube, search for Deborah Conway, find a song called It's Only the Beginning, and listen to the words, carefully. I think it is the perfect response.
Besides, I think the camera loves her.
