you herd it here first

i went on a 4-day jeep trip to the Uyuni salt flats when i was in Bolivia. I was grouped with a British couple and an Australian girl.

during these trips, there'a a hell of a lot of driving, all day basically. i killed time being the designated DJ. the Australian, Ellie, was impressed with my eclectic tastes in music. at some point, i was curious to hear what she had in her ipod. she played a lot of hip-hop and i realized that i had very little knowledge of Australian music. to my surprise, the songs were politically inclined and i realized something else: i know nothing about australian politics. at the end of our trip, we exchanged names of a few bands from our respective homes. here's one i particularly enjoy: The Herd.
