Idol Time
While I realise that the vast majority of the world doesn't know or care, today is the Adelaide audition day for this year's Australian Idol. Ata avoids Australian Idol only slightly less fervently than she avoids Big Brother, and would not have realised it was audition day if she had not met an intending auditionee yesterday.

Nonetheless, given that so many people spend a long, frustrating, uncomfortable day waiting to audition for Australian Idol, Ata could not help but think that their suffering should not be noted. So in honour of Australian Idol Audition day, here - for your reading pleasure - is the list of songs Ata would most like to perform on stage if she had the opportunity. And lessons. Lots of lessons. But the point is, Ata thinks they would all be fun to perform. As opposed to just listen to.

Preacher's Son - Aretha Franklin
The House that Jack Built - Aretha (again)
Show Me How To Live - Audioslave
Protons, Neutrons, Electrons - The Cat Empire
The Crowd - The Cat Empire
All That You Have Is Your Soul - Tracy Chapman
Mack The Knife - Frank Sinatra
Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes
Little Ghost - The White Stripes
My Baby Just Cares For Me - Nina Simone
Murder in the Red Barn - Tom Waits
Girl Anachronism - Dresden Dolls

Alright, so it's a short list. Probably I'll think of some more in about an hour's time, when I'm doing something else.

    Mack the Knife. Love that song. Especially Robbie singing it. That boy can swing...

    I'd like to sing... Hmm. Now I don't know. Crap. I'll come back to this...

    My Baby Just Cares For Me would probably go down a treat. Yes, you shall have to audition next year. *nods to self*

    St Kilda Sands - The Cat Empire

    Do you mean... Arse, I can't think of the right name of it now. And my album is at home and I don't have it on my iPod.

    But yes, I really like that song. *grin* It's the best one after The Rhythm.

    Yeah, sorry M - I can never think of the right name either! I looked it up just now - "The Crowd". Wally, that's me.

    Ah, right. Of course! I suck when it comes to titles! *grin*
