Template talk:Australianmusic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm tempted to remove the Australian states from this infobox. There isn't really a separation of styles of music from each area. Sure, Powderfinger is from Brisbane and Eskimo Joe is from Perth and the Superjesus are from Adelaide, but there isn't really a "South Australian" or "Victorian" style of music that could be written about. I thought I would get comments from people who created/edited this template before making changes. -- Chuq 01:55, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- Go ahead -- if someone ever writes an article on one of the regions, I'm sure it will be re-added. I think there is potentially valuable info though, on local labels, prominent clubs, music of any immigrant communities localized in the area, etc... I don't really know much about Australia, though, so maybe not. Tuf-Kat 05:54, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
- No problem, I'll take them out for now. As you said, its simple enough to add them back in later. -- Chuq 06:09, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Festivals?
How about Meredith, Slendour in the Grass, Earthcore etc? And newbie Pyramid. Maybe there's too many to list now? See Category:Australian music festivals. pfctdayelise 02:14, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
- created list List of Australian music festivals - put reference to that on template Paul foord 09:20, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] How widely is this intended to be used?
For example, on Australian musician pages? I'm guessing not... Category: Australian musicians is enough instead? pfctdayelise 00:28, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- Only on the genres and the timeline and samples (if they existed). And music of Australia, of course. Tuf-Kat 05:57, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Awards
A few more awards come to mind. The new and shiny J Award, the WAMIs (no article yet, AFAICT) and the Australian Music Prize. The AMP is new this year, and is intended to be Australia's equivalent of a Mercury. The winner gets $25k - big bikkies indeed. Info here (there was an article in this month's Rolling Stone, too. Kram from Spiderbait is one of folks on the steering committee). WAMIs. Not sure what their page should be. First we need West Australian Music Industry, then it looks like they call their awards WAM Song of the Year, with different genre categories... and it looks like the thing I actually thought was the WAMIs, is really Kiss My WAMi Original Contemporary Music Festival. Hmmm. pfctdayelise 12:03, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Also. The Australasian_Performing_Right_Association#APRA_Awards. Is the dead Australian Music Centre link intending to refer to the "APRA - Australian Musical Centre Classical Music Awards" (listed in the aforelinked section)? pfctdayelise 14:29, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Timeline
Re: our red link Timeline of trends in Australian music. Does anyone know of a similar article we can model ours on? Like, how do you format a timeline?
Also, don't know how detailed it should be (probably not very, if it's only of 'trends'), but ARIA has a "year in review" of 2005 which could be handy: 2005 Year in Review pdf

- See timeline of trends in music -- I don't particularly recommend that format though. There's no really good music timeline pages, AFAIK. Tuf-Kat 17:25, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

- Ugh, I hate lists. A list is not a timeline, it's a list! Did you know about this EasyTimeline? I just discovered it. It produces some pretty amazing looking timelines - see Category:Graphical timelines for some examples. There are some music ones, but they're classical music. Apparently it's a bit tricky to use from scratch, but once you establish a timeline, it's pretty easy to edit. I think we should use this system. This is the wordiest one I've found: Template:Timeline history of international cricket.pfctdayelise 08:03, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
