hang down ya head scott dooley..hang down ya head and cry..

(not really I just liked the gag)

is that what scott dooley looks like? ^^

like a tiger girl?

scott dooley are you a tiger girl?

This is so silly. Washington is doing fine. She's all over the radio. She is making good money from her gigs. Why does she need a $50 000 prize for ONE song?

And commercial-radio stadium rockers Eskimo Joe are the runners-up?

It's fucking stupid.

If they want to get the charitable kudos, Vanda & Young should just give the money directly to people (or animals or the environment) who really need it. There's many worthy causes who are struggling for funds and publicity .

Timewaster's so envionmentally aware that he recycles his posts. Excellent!

give it to scott dooley. he won't hang down his head then.

Ha ha ha. Why rewrite the same opinion twice?

What makes you think awarding a prize is anything to do with charity?

good money, eh? like most local acts, i reckon she makes just enough to cover the rent.

Ha ha ha. Why rewrite the same opinion twice?

Or post it twice, even.

probably lives with her parents

That's meshugeneh. If you're doing music for money, then you shouldn't be doing it.

How do you know that Washington pays rent? Maybe she lives at home. Anyway, she would definitely be getting good guarantees from her gigs. That's somewhat beside the point. These prizes are unnecessary paydays to middle class uni students.

who said she was doing it for the money?

most local acts make enough to cover their rent??

most local acts make enough to cover their rent??

oops. i was supposed to write: ''don't make enough to cover the rent''.

which is lucky, who then would wait upon our tables and pour our beers?

What makes you think awarding a prize is anything to do with charity?

Timewaster I don't think you understand how this competition works. People donate prizes for a competition. People then pay money to enter the competition. A few people win the prizes, and the money made from the entrance fees goes to charity.

Do you also have a problem with companies donating houses to charities, and then those charities auctioning off the house and keeping the monies?

Cos it's a pretty similar situation.

Oh.... his band didn't win.

It's no Gold Canary, is what it isn't.

Anyone recognise the names that made it to the shortlist?

Competition have been narrowed down to impressive works created by the following songwriters:
Candice Casagrande, New South Wales, Australia
Jess Chalker, New South Wales, Australia
Marc Collis, Victoria, Australia
Matt Corby, New South Wales, Australia
Brian Eichenberger, USA
Caitlin Harnett, New South Wales, Australia
Julie Kember, New South Wales, Australia
Nicola Lester, Victoria, Australia
Yasmine Amari, South Australia, Australia
Kav Temperley, West Australia, Australia
Megan Washington, Victoria, Australia
Hayla Weisz, Israel

I really smell something fishy here. the Vanda and Young songwriting comp has awarded a $50,000 prise to someone who is already signed to Alberts music publishing which is Vanda and Young.

please explain?

wont this help her career a lot, and in turn be making them a lot of money?

If she is travelling with her band then I doubt she is making good money, she will be very lucky to be breaking even.

Are you calling Les Gock a cheat samiek?

shane skillz was robbed. Didn't even make the shortlist.

wrong again ashtrayballs. kav from the escyboyz was robbed.
he deserves the money and the shit angus guitar. he could pay someone 50k to write a song that isn't gay on it.

the only thing fishy here is your shit spelling. obviously you've never won anything. or if you have it must have been sufficiently significant enough to warrant a distraction so total that you couldn't make a note of how to spell ''prize''.

c'mon everyone, have some standards and get behind megan W. god only knows who she is but he works in mysterious ways.

I don't know who she is, who publishes her or if she lives in the suburbs with middle class parents. But I do know that if that is the best Australian song of 2009 I'm done with bands, song writing, music, organised sound, unintentional sound...God just take away my ability to hear Please! ''You be my Arthur Miller I'll be your...'' F.... OFF! Lying low Lions...F... OFF AGAIN!

the new timewaster?

I can only dream

actually, you make timewaster look like a sissy with that sort of bile.

You're giving timewaster a lot of credit if you think this muppet is equal to him.

See what I did there?

It'll take a whole 'nother thread by Matt Church to work out the intricacies of that one.

Guess this means we won't be friends
