My first foray into the music blog world was an absolute failure.Within two months I had my account deleted by Blogger for repeated copyright infringement. I was a bit stunned by this, as I only had linked to sites that were put up by other people. Whereas my site got pulled down rapidly, the sites I got the links from (on Blogger mind you) are still going strong and still have all of their links up. Go figure.
I was more than happy to let this go. But people keep asking me what happened to it and what shows are coming up. So consider this The Picket Fence Cartel v2.0, the localized Brisbane version. I will no longer post download links unless they are all legit. If you want to get it yourself, it's not that hard. Type the following into Google: "mediafire band_name album_name". 90% of the time you will find what you want.
So what is this new version of the blog? It's going to be a dumping ground for all the upcoming concerts in Brisbane (or South East Queensland) that I care about, that I want to go to. So instead of having to email or text my random concert buddies for each band that comes out, they can just look here for it. I'll put links to their My Space/Last.FM/samples so you can check it out. But since my readership is aimed at most people I already know, you can probably just come to me and I'll sit you down, with a beer, and put that needle on the record (and play that song for you! (to paraphrase the Bouncing Souls)). I may even throw in album reviews and concert reviews as well, maybe even some music news. Depends how I feel.
So is this the definitive Brisbane concert guide? No, that's way too fucking hard with lots of obscure bands that most people wouldn't give 2 rats about. But hey, if you check here, maybe I'll catch you at some of these shows.
