Idolator

Hurrah! Excellent work, everyone!

Your next target is Coldplay. Godspeed.

I guess Cave 'n' Kylie don't count anymore. Also, I seem to remember liking Melbourne band The Drones in 2003.

The Drones are still thoroughly excellent.

This is truly a great day in history. They can follow their brethren Jet into my anals of history. And Silverchair. Wait, have there been any good Australian bands since..Radio Birdman?

@Maura Johnston: what is the deal with this youtube clip showing "video not available," yet i can hear the audio and faintly see the actual footage in the background. Second time its happened to me today.
What is that beautiful house? Where does that highway go?

I am not terribly well versed in Australian divorce law, but how do they determine who gets custody of the assorted capes and hammond organs?

I wonder what Mike Patton has to say on the subject?

@Maura Johnston:

Oh, that is just EVIL.

Definitely Black Sabbath, not Zeppelin.

@TheContrarian: It happens.

Oops, I meant The Vines. The Hives are pretty sucky, too, tho.

Worst band since The Hives, easy. good effin' riddance.

@drjimmy11: Yeah but the singer's on some serious Robert Plant wannabe shit.

There's still hope for you yet, The Datsuns!

Zeppelin, really?

I always said their recording technique was to find an old copy of "Paranoid," cross out "Black Sabbath" and write their own name.

"mimeographers"

That is an amazing word that I must use more often in blog posts describing unoriginal bands. "derivative", you've served me well, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to let you move on down the road, Karl Rove-style.

Great, now they'll split up into two even more annoying side projects. My chances of seeing one of these guys on a stage just doubled. Damn.
