She looks like a ropey AI attempt to deepfake Sydney Sweeney.

You'd probably find her more attractive if she had sellotaped NHS glasses and a whimsical hair style.
And looked a bit less like she'd been chasing parked cars, and had to have reconstructive plastic surgery?
Even when it's good work, it puts me right off when young women have the wrong nose, and a trampoline face.
Went Psych Fest yesterday. Started at midday, got home a bit before 4 this morning. As you may gather, there are some rather blurry moments. Yobs were brilliantly messy. Skloss would have benefitted from being on later. Goat were obviously ace. Yaang did a late secret sort of Krautrock set.
Today I shall concentrate on doing fuck all.
Gary Clark Jr and the Black Keys last night. Spectacular. The blues is alive and well.
I got to see Gary Clark Jr in Boston a couple of years ago, he’s really good live.
Australians are weird. It doesn't matter how much you preface by saying things like "Australia is producing some of the best bands in the world right now with the likes of Parkway Drive and Amyl & The Sniffers", when you follow it with "..... but I can't forgive you for giving us Jet, who are generic cock rock at its hideous worst and who are very lucky Nickelback are around to draw fire for them" they look shocked and pained and accuse you of being a cloth-eared bigot. I really don't understand why Australians love them so much.
Australians have a severe inferiority complex over music because the world mainly listens to British and American acts. It’s why, despite the fact that they gave the world Nick Cave, The Go-Betweens and various lesser known but excellent acts, the funnest thing to tell them is that the only Australian band you know is Crowded House*.
*I really like Crowded House, but as a diss it works on multiple levels.
Always thought crowded house as more kiwi than Aussie. INXS, Midnight Oil, men at Work, Cold Chisel, come to mind when I think of Australia but that could be age-relatedated.
I think that was the point.

Those guys are all now very sad at Russ' uncalled for outburst. Particularly for his childish mislabelling of "pub rock". I hope Brids mate Big Jimmy is on his way to Canada right now to scream at Russ until he revises his opinions. Good luck with that, Jimmy.
The following artists are also upset and will require an apology:
Icehouse
Wolfmother
The Angles
John Farnham
Power to the bogans.
Ends.
As much as I agree with Russ' post regarding Jet (who I often confuse with the equally insufferable Razorshite), I'll see Ingo's Icehouse and raise an obvious but valid Midnight Oil and INXS, despite how unfashionable the latter in particular might be.
Crowded House are shit though really, aren't they.

Yes. Drippy shit. Split Enz were less dull. And some youngster incidentally dropped a reveal they were reforming which woke up all the old Kiwis. He had no idea who they were or why it mattered.
ACDC are Australian aren't they? The uberbogans.

Aren't they also a bit Geordie. Anyway i'd have them down as glambogan.
Real pub rock is about grafting and being dusty and sweaty and drunk.
The Saints
The Lime Spiders
The Scientists
Lots and lots of Aussie garage rock to be enjoyed.
