I do, because it was almost exactly a year ago. Remember when I was going to keep everyone updated on my life in Australia on a regular basis? Ha, I remember that too. Too bad I was lying, I guess. I do still intend to document my life there, retroactively, if only for my own personal benefit. Maybe there are actually people reading this besides me, and maybe those people want to hear about my Australian life, but that is such a remote possibility that I would never continue writing in this solely for them. Which makes one wonder, why write in this at all? I'm not sure, but somehow this is different from my paper-and-pen journal which is reserved exclusively for my eyes. Also, have you seen how many links to YouTube videos I have posted? That's not something I can really do on paper. Speaking of which, I suppose it is that time again.
First, here is a list of some "legitimate" ARIA Top 50 Singles which appeal to me.
Riverside -- Sidney Samson [Dutch] (There are also several remixes of this which I don't feel like sifting through right now.)
Lily Allen -- Not Fair [British] (This song has been around for a long time, but it is only finally growing on me. I still think I prefer LDN but I have no idea if that ever made it on the charts. I definitely didn't hear it while I was in Australia, and that's the time it would have come out. I also feel obligated to link to Smile which is not one of my favorites, but it made it in America and the video is brilliant.)
David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland -- When Love Takes Over [French/American] (THAT DRESS, holy shit!) (Also, the intro reminds me of Coldplay's Clocks, in a bad way.)
Sugar -- Flo Rida Feat. Wynter (lol, remember Eiffel 65?)
Black Eyed Peas -- I Gotta Feeling
Jessica Mauboy -- Because [Aussie]
Eminem -- We Made You
Now, a list of songs which have made it to the top 50 for obvious popular culture reasons.
