Was told by a tall cardigan'd friend to pick up a copy of the latest Rolling Stone magazine, so as usual I obliged said cardigan man. Turns out there's a nice little piece about the Operator Please kids with a nice mention of a ye olde' Mess+Noise, specifically Issue 6.

"I entered shitloads of Youth Week competitions and I entered any online competitions," she [Amanda Wilkinson] recalls. "The Mess and Noise [website and magazine] competition was to submit a couple of tracks and to win a place on (the magazine's) compilation CD, with a full page bio and interview. We entered that and were lucky enough to actually get in there. From then on [Sydney community radio] FBI picked up that CD and started playing 'Just a Song About Ping Pong'. It was a big deal for us because there weren't any all-ages venues, so we had to kind of piss people off in order to get a show at an over-eighteen place." - Rolling Stone issue 669 (Sept 2007)

They then start talking about themselves more than us, so the interview gets kinda boring. If they're thinking of sending chocolates or embroided beanie babies when they're rich and adulty, they should all be directed to our favourite crew cut, Andrew Ramadge. Was his choice.

update: Another piece over at News.com.au. "Danny's favourite". Hoorah !!!
