Invention. What you are looking at and typing over is only possible because of this tiny island.

That's rather vague... explain please?

1) What is your favourite way to hear music? (EG headphones, main system tanked up, in a car etc)
Cruising in my car with the windows down & wind in my hair, or chilling/dancing in my lounge room with friends.

2) What single thing makes you proud about your country?
I can't name a single thing, most things about Australia make me proud, I would never want to live anywhere else. Australia is a unique and wonderful country.

3) What single thing makes you angry about your country?
The fact that most of the rest of the world can't place us on a map or have no idea/many misconceptions about what/who we are.

4) What person had inspired you most? It could be musically, morally, politically etc
I'm going to be cliche and say Maynard James Keenan or Adam Jones.

5) Will you still be listening to music with the same passion in 20 years or is it a phase that will take a back seat later on in life?
Definitely will still be listening with a huge passion.

6) Do you believe in fate?
No, I like to think that we can control our own destinies.

1) What is your favourite way to hear music? (EG headphones, main system tanked up, in a car etc)
Headphones while laying in my bed in complete darkness while high.

2) What single thing makes you proud about your country?
I take pride in my family, myself and my own accomplishments. It has nothing to do with where I live or what language I speak.

3) What single thing makes you angry about your country?
Blind patriotism.

4) What person had inspired you most? It could be musically, morally, politically etc
My brother-in-law.

5) Will you still be listening to music with the same passion in 20 years or is it a phase that will take a back seat later on in life?
Pshh... Hell no. I'm already on the waning side of my music listening enthusiasm. When I was a teen, music was pretty much my entire life. Funny thing about life is when you actually start living the real one, your priorities tend to change. I don't consider it a loss. I still enjoy music, and I won't hate it in 20 years or anything, but it's just music to me now. Nothing more.

6) Do you believe in fate?
In the sense that our choices are predetermined, no.

I had a neighbour who was just like that. She honestly thought that Australia and NZ were part of the US! My Kiwi dad sure corrected her on that

1) What is your favourite way to hear music? (EG headphones, main system tanked up, in a car etc)
I like hearing songs unexpectedly, weather it be not expecting to hear it on the radio or in a store. Other than that I mostly just listen headphones or off my laptop speakers.

2) What single thing makes you proud about your country?
I took a while to think about this one, probably all the people from Jamestown.

3) What single thing makes you angry about your country?
Liars.

4) What person had inspired you most? It could be musically, morally, politically etc
I can't choose one, but
Morally: Kurt Cobain (Yeah he was a **** up but he had a lot of good points.)
Musically: My piano teacher.

5) Will you still be listening to music with the same passion in 20 years or is it a phase that will take a back seat later on in life?
I hope so, I want to share with my kids what I was into which would then be back in the day and how it effected me. But then I will realize they don't give a shit

6) Do you believe in fate?
Somewhat.

1) What is your favourite way to hear music? (EG headphones, main system tanked up, in a car etc)
Through the main speaker system. It's just more fun that way.

2) What single thing makes you proud about your country?
I don't really get very patriotic at all unless the football's on, so I guess I'll say the fact that we were the first to officially codify a set of rules for it. Oh, and that whole 1966 thing.

3) What single thing makes you angry about your country?
New Labour.

4) What person had inspired you most? It could be musically, morally, politically etc
Couldn't say. Different individuals for different reasons.

5) Will you still be listening to music with the same passion in 20 years or is it a phase that will take a back seat later on in life?
I'd say no, but obviously there's no way I can be sure until it actually happens... if it does happen.

6) Do you believe in fate?
Nope.

1) What is your favourite way to hear music? (EG headphones, main system tanked up, in a car etc)

Main sound system, just plain better.

2) What single thing makes you proud about your country?

2 times rugga world cup champs? naah. That we overcame apartheid, well at least we all think we have.

3) What single thing makes you angry about your country?

That we actually haven't overcome it yet. ^^^

4) What person had inspired you most? It could be musically, morally, politically etc

Way too many from a broad range of places. Jan Ullrich has to be rich up there though.

5) Will you still be listening to music with the same passion in 20 years or is it a phase that will take a back seat later on in life?

It will still be around, just not like it is now.

6) Do you believe in fate?

Yes.

How very stereotypical of you.

1) What is your favourite way to hear music? (EG headphones, main system tanked up, in a car etc)
Probably headphones overall as for most of the stuff I listen to headphones just really accentuate the records so very well. Can't knock a decent system and the volume maxed and some killer bass though.

2) What single thing makes you proud about your country?
Personally I like alot of our landmarks, our countryside. Some parts of England really are beautiful. That and our working class culture, although not so much in the present day.

3) What single thing makes you angry about your country?
How can I possibly narrow this down to one thing? Our teenage pregnancy figures are disgusting when compared to most of the rest of Europe. That and the fucking BNP.

4) What person had inspired you most? It could be musically, morally, politically etc
My grandad and my dad. Musically probably Richey Edwards and Jeff Buckley.

5) Will you still be listening to music with the same passion in 20 years or is it a phase that will take a back seat later on in life?
I hope I will. I don't want to be one of those old folks banging on and on about how "they don't write 'em like they used to."

6) Do you believe in fate?
Absolutely not. Belief in fate has always seemed like a cop out to me.

Piss Me Off · 08-23-2009, 10:11 AM

1) What is your favourite way to hear music? (EG headphones, main system tanked up, in a car etc)
Walking around with my headphones
2) What single thing makes you proud about your country?
When England are winning and everyone of all backgrounds are brought together, there's nothing better.
3) What single thing makes you angry about your country?
Most of the time we aren't that united at all.
4) What person had inspired you most? It could be musically, morally, politically etc
John Peel. My entire music taste is basically influenced by him in some form.
5) Will you still be listening to music with the same passion in 20 years or is it a phase that will take a back seat later on in life?
Well what else am i going to be doing?
6) Do you believe in fate?
Difficult one. There's several decisions i've made in my life which i kind of just made and didn't really think about, i just did it and so maybe i was always meant to do it. Maybe.
