Song title: Purple Sneakers
Artist: You Am I
Year: 1995
Why I like this song:
So it has been announced that You Am I will be this year's inductees to the ARIA Hall of Fame.
Some thoughts:
- It's a been a long time coming: People forget that there was a time when You Am I were on fire, firing out gems like no tomorrow (like the one above). So much so, that people have turned cold to them is baffling to say the least. Much like how reception to Game of Thrones turned around following the last season.
- Perhaps the change in attitude came through Tim Rogers acting like an arse. But it seems all is forgiven now.
- Does this mean that ARIA are now going to start being more accommodating to
non-commercial'alterative' acts now? - I like to think that this rant may have something to do with it but that's just wishful thinking on my part
