Aria's are fun to laugh at, just like the Grammy's.

I see Lame Impala was nominated for best rock album. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

The Chats probably should have been in that category, rather than hard rock.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah just like the Grammy's I think the idiots that have the final say on the nominations have no idea what they are picking.

Or maybe they are getting kick backs from certain labels and industry big wigs!

In general awards shows are just a wankfest but at least years ago when there was Aussie metal awards they were voted on and chosen by metalheads. They were given SFA publicity except by the magazines or venues that ran them but at least it wasn't just suits in an office pulling names out of a hat.

 

[CiG]

I thought this year's Arias was also chosen by public voting?

 

[Slammed]

No idea, but I'm pretty sure the final say is still down to a bunch of suits in an office who probably don't listen to music.

 

[CiG]

Well awards aren't actually about music in the first place. Just industry insider incest.

 

[Slammed]

Ewww makes me thankful I'm no longer in the industry in any way if that's what happens

Not sure if fits, but our singer is Australian. He has another band called Abstract the Light. Vocals and video were done there.

 

[CiG]

Love how infantile this track is. I miss the days when most bands had a "get fucked" section in their CD booklets. Everybody was so angry in the 00's!

Some old school guy started uploading old Aussie metal footage, this Sadistik Exekution rehearsal is from 1986!

Is that Diedrich Bader in you av?

 

[CiG]

lmao yeah from Office Space.

 

[Slammed]

Damn! I don't think I've seen that. I might have to hunt it down

It's the first live action Mike Judge movie (in case you don't know him; the creator of Beavis & Butthead, King of the Hill etc). Fucking rules man.

I'm surprised that in '99 I didn't watch it just to perv on Jennifer Anniston

Hahaha unfortunately she doesn't give up much in this one, it's a rather wholesome movie... kinda.

I just heard here in Perth we're doing another 3 day hard lockdown, so maybe I'll rewatch it.

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I heard that too, sucks for all the diggers.
From what I'm reading the woman was okay in the UK, did everything right, then caught it in hotel quarantine but it wasn't picked up until she had returned on a near full plane to Victoria.
