Book excerpt: For the first time Bernard, Darren, Ian, John and Jonathan look back and tell their whole story – from childhood to their final farewell. They are five ordinary Aussie blokes who produced far from ordinary songs, many becoming the soundtrack for a generation. Their astonishing 22-year career saw them achieve 5 ARIA number one albums, 18 ARIA awards, 3 APRA awards and sales of over 2.5 million albums in Australia. You know the lyrics and the music. Now, get to know them. For the first time ever, this tight-knit, very private group has teamed up with respected journalist Dino Scatena to tell their story. They, along with their support team, family and mates open up to reveal how they all came to music, their influences, the early years of the band, their slow rise to music dominance and the reasons behind their break-up. Taking us from their high school days in the mid 1980s to their final farewell concert on the Riverstage in their home town, POWDERFINGER: Footprints includes exclusive access to hundreds of never-before seen pictures from their private collections. Explore the friendships and frictions, the fun times, the hard times and all their rock and roll misadventures, this is a must-have chronicle of Australia’s most beloved band. Dino Scatena has known and reported on the members of Powderfinger since the 1990s. As part of the research for Footprints he travelled with the band on their farewell ‘Sunsets’ tour.

I was enthralled' SARAH WINMAN, author of Still Life 'Beguiling and entertaining' PETER LALOR, Weekend Australian 'I bloody loved this - a gorgeous, heartbreaking examination of so much more than cricket' ROBBIE ARNOTT, author of Limberlost Reader Cricket Bats, one of the last traditional batmakers back in England, has a contemporary home in the Antipodes, with Allan Reader keeping the family business alive in a small workshop in Melbourne. When Todd Harrow, a gifted young batter, catches Allan's eye, a spark is lit and Allan decides to make a Reader bat for him, selecting the best piece of willow he's harvested in years to do so. As Harrow charts a meteoric rise to the highest echelons of the sport, leaving his equally talented sister's dreams in his wake, Allan's magical bat takes centre stage as well, awakening something in him. But can Allan's fledgling renaissance - hanging as it does on the magic of that bat - carry on after Harrow is stricken by injury and a strained personal life? With Willowman, award-winning author Inga Simpson has written a love letter to the art and beauty of cricket and a meditation on the inner lives of certain kinds of men and women, for whom it is a way of life.

Download or read book The 100 Best Australian Albums written by John O'Donnell and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian music has a proud, colourful and successful history. In 2008, Australian rock and roll turned 50. This book names the best Australian albums of the last 50 years. It places each album in order (from 1 u 100) and discusses why each album deserves its place. It tells the story behind the making of the album, where the album fits in the artist's career and the album's impact on the local and world stage etc. The entries will feature new interviews with the artists and the producers/managers involved in the recording and the release of the album. It wouldn't be a good list if it didn't polarise people and we hope that this list will. We also hope that it will get people sitting around comparing their favourites and discovering or re-discovering these great albums and others. With 70 years of loving and writing about Australian music between us, we shamelessly believe we've earned the right to write this book. And we think we've got it right. Let the debate begin.o u John O'Donnell, April 2010 Finally, here is a much-needed list of argument-starting top 100 seminal/ influential/essential Australian albums of all time. Let the fight begin!
