Saw rockwiz last night. What a great show. What great (sometimes aria winning) duets at the end of each show. Last night was a replay of the Eddi Reader and Liam O'maonlai episode from back in 2006. Where they did a magical rendition of "Across the Universe". I suppose the show is taking a break after last weeks myer music bowl special.
It reminded me that the best thing I ever saw on that show and possible the best thing ever to air on Australian TV (i'm not joking, it blows me away every time I see it) was the Archie Roach & Sara Storer rendition of "From Little Things Big Things Grow". Here it is on YouTube . To me it's a reminder that around the fringe of this football-meat-pie-moronic-fundamentally-racist culture there exists some things which occasionally restore my ability to endure it.

Wow.
I have always been amazed at the power of the song "From little things big things grow", but that was an absolutely astounding performance.
Imagine what it would have felt like in there the room.
Heh...
That was me trying to explain that I am overly tired from translation, and thus the typo at the end of my 1st message...
then I realised I'd screwed up the 2nd comment too.
gah!
