prince bandroom website has tickets available for the friday show

Im guessing no ones given it back!

I'd also guess that no one donated it all to an eligible charity resulting in no increase to their taxable income

plenty of these on gumtree, lowest at the moment is $70.

also summadayzzzzzz have applied for funding from Vic Police as they help catch drug dealers

industry figures say the Future Music Festival has secured reformed Manchester icons the Stone Roses to top its March 2013 bill

Aunty Meredith is fairly evasive in the Ticket prices, finances & BYO section so I had a go at it myself. Very unreliable, these figures were basically pulled out of a hat (especially payments to bands). No venue hire and a lot of the staff are volunteers, are there any other costs I’ve missed? How far off do you think I am with the band payments?

i think this is accurate, at least up to and including the 'dream it down' period. in 91-94 they seemed HUGE

This is certainly the period that they were all over Triple J. I distinctly remember Kingsmill nominating Leaves Me Blind as the best Australian album of 1992 on the Aus music show he did back then. And they flooged the hell out of Losin' It in '94 (Las Vegas also got played a fair bit that year).

while PG's career in the ALP seems to have already peaked and has now stalled, and the ALP as it currently exists is incompatable with PG's views as evidenced in lyrics and interviews prior to becoming a politician, at 58 years of age the next step is probably retirement.

The organizers are hoping for 15,000-20,000 at the festival and they are encouraging us to travel by train. but they are only putting on two extra trains after the festival and a Metro train holds about 800 people - it does sound slightly dubious.

That's assuming you even get to the train station before the last train leaves. To get 15,000 people from the festival to the station will require 300 bus trips (assuming 50 people per bus). According to the website it takes 20 minutes to get from train station to festival, that is a 40 minute round trip. How many buses has this guy hired for Saturday?

White Light is the remix record of Black Light, yes? I will have to check this out as I think Black Light is their best album. And yes Tinyman I have heard all the previous albums, my wife has them all and has regularly blasted them over the years!
