ARIA 06

Bernard Fanning gets Album of the Year for ''Tea & Sympathy'' proving that
his songwriting transcends his band Powderfinger. Meanwhile Eskimo Joe took
out honours for Best Single with ''Black Fingernails Red Wine'', a song
that's catchy if nothing else.
The highlight of the evening came from silverchair playing a cover of
Midnight Oil's ''Don't Wanna Be The One''. The Oils were inducted into the
hall of fame. No one can deny Peter Garrett's rising popularity with
silverchair's Daniel Johns spraypainting PG 4 PM on the set.
There was a general appeal made for Aussie music to get back to sticking it
up the people in power and to take a step away from 'get famous quick' TV
shows.
Hear hear.
