The third day picked up right where Friday left off. As many festival-goers attempted to recover and conserve energy at the halfway point, big names such as Norah Jones and Jimmy Cliff performed early in the Tennessee sun.

  • The Go-Betweens: Australia's Most Influential Indie Band Of All Time?

    On a recent business trip to Brisbane [the state capital of Queensland, Australia], a bout of insomnia saw me walking the streets of the inner-city in the early hours of the morning. Heading north, a prominent sign caught my eye: GO BETWEEN BRIDGE. Lodged in the back of my mind was a recent newspaper story, detailing the re-naming of an existing vehicle & foot passenger bridge [linking Brisbane’s inner-city to the suburbs] in honour of one of the city’s most popular indie bands of the 1980’s.
