^ my only guess is for live reasons... while I love Secret Rituals the most too, it's undeniable earlier stuff translates better live.

I don't listen to many Aussie bands either, I just can't stand how non-forward thinking or generic most of it is/when they 'put on' the Aussie accent more than natural- and believe me, they do this in pretty much EVERYTHING, blegh. I'd say Nick Cave is our best asset in music, but of course there's the ongoing (rather mean spirited) debate of whether he really is an Aussie anymore (he claims he is at least).

A lot of people worldwide really loved the Avalanches, who I still don't really get why.

As for the damn Kiwis (just to add some stereotyping about the friendly Aussie vs Kiwi war to the conversation) Kimbra's new album is much more enjoyable than Lorde for me.
