Geoff is a 25 year old Database Administrator Consultant. He was a volunteer youth leader at Yarra Valley Vineyard Christian Fellowship for 6 years, but doesn't do that any more. He is cursed with barracking for Richmond. His favourite number is 17 and his favourite song is Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley
never heard of some of these …
Which? Paul Kelly, Skyhooks, Sarah Blasko, Salmon Hater, Powderfinger, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, INXS, The Living End, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu and Crowded House are all Australian. Any others are just that you’re an old man
Good 10! I almost died compiling mine, but now I’m actually quite happy.
List making is very satisfying. Especially lists that involve music….
Hmm, I think I’ll go write another list.
Just looked at my list and am starting to wonder how come I couldn’t squeeze a Nick Cave into the list – probably could have sacrificed Bohemian Rhapsody for The Weeping Song
Good 10!
