cicada-song
This year cicada’s song is unbelievably loud. The relentless and never ending brain drilling wall of noise reaching 120db. That is one loud little insect and in the bush surrounding my house there must be millions of them. I have yet to see a live cicada around the house, but I can see their discarded cicada skins.

There wouldn’t be too many people who are not familiar with a hit song by Cake called “Short Skirt, Long Jacket”. So, when I saw this four school girls in Long Skirts and Short Jackets I thought how funny to see them while I was listening to the song with a totally opposite “attire”.

In a scene more reminiscent of Paris than Sydney I came across this happy gypsy playing accordion and singing a Romany song. Just look at his face full of happiness and passion for his music.

Here is a photo of Brian McFadden singing “Only a Woman Can”, a song he apparently wrote for Delta Goodrem. Brian is currently touring NSW to promote his album Set In Stone. You can see more details about his music and tour dates on http://www.brianmcfadden.com.au/. It is quite a refreshing and unique music.

You can see more photos of Brian McFadden in this gallery.

I have taken this photograph of Keith Urban, while he was performing for Sunrise – a Channel & breakfast show. I must admit I do not know hie music and probably as most people I only know his name because he is married to Nicole Kidman. His music is labeled as a country style and I guess this is why I never listed to him before. However, he is a fine rocker. His performance in the studio was certainly an ear opener for me. Although “I told you so” song, for example, features some of country instrumentation it is easily a good pop or rock song depends how your ears are inclined. I guess my perception of what country music is way outdated.
