We're entering a brave new world of live music, for punters and musicians alike. Will it be as weird and unsatisfying as it sounds?

It was one of the early indications that breath droplets might be a particularly potent transmission risk.

Audiences will be reduced, so performers will potentially do two or three performances per night, with the venue emptied and cleaned in between. This means sets are likely to be shorter, and multi-act line-ups less common.Most band rooms won't be able to operate under these conditions, since running a venue is typically reliant on getting as many people through the door and buying drinks for as long as possible.

But for Jack Colwell, launching his new Sarah-Blasko-produced debut album Swandream, the shutdown has given him an opportunity to present his intimate, personal music in a manner that is arguably superior to a run of pub shows. But Washington thinks the pause on tours and live shows offers an opportunity for artists who are not wedded to the way they present themselves.

Scott Morrison compares Black Lives Matter protests to Anzac Day, urges Australians to show 'respect' and not attendPrime Minister Scott Morrison has invoked the shutdown of Anzac Day memorials due to coronavirus as he urged Australians to show respect and not attend protests against police brutality this weekend. Spare me the faux concern. Didn't seem to give a shit about respecting others safety when he wanted to go to his precious Hillsong Rally of thousands. And there was no comparison of ANZAC day when it came to the anti-vaxx protests last week. I do not recall any such request of Qanon, 5g or covid lockdown protesters. Did he not say that it was their democratic right? Go away.
