Carpentaria

Inaugural Threepwood Music Awards 2007 (Part 1)

I tend to listen to a lot of music and collect heaps of different CD’s. I don’t consider myself a fan particularly of any one band (with a couple of exceptions) or genre and tend to splash around all over the place. Every year I have one or two of those perfect music moments, you know the...

It's not as close to my hotel as the Australian Open, so we couldn't walk. Instead we caught the subway west and got to Rolland Garros. The French have no idea how...
