"(Baby I've Got You) On My Mind" (also known simply as "On My Mind") is a song on Powderfinger's fifth studio album Vulture Street. It was released as a single in 2003 and reached #9 on the Australian music chart, the band's third highest charting single to date.

Background [link]

After two albums of Powderfinger releasing singles that were either acoustic anthems (such as "My Happiness") or ballads ("The Metre" or "The Day You Come"), Powderfinger decided to release a heavy rock song as their new album, Vulture Street's lead single. In accordance with this, the band's publicity was geared towards a more rock oriented slant, with magazine covers and articles indicating that they were "returning to rock," alluding to the rock albums Parables for Wooden Ears and the highly successful Double Allergic,[1] however some criticism was that the band's "rock" sound was different from previous releases, indicating that they were trying to be more like AC/DC than previously. Although the single for the song was released under the title of "On My Mind," the album cover has the song's title printed as "(Baby I've Got You) On My Mind." It is alleged that Bernard Fanning implicitly wrote the lyrics as a tribute to former radio and television personality John Burgess.

The album's artwork is of a painted ship entitled "On My Mind". The design style of the cover and case is in the same style as the other singles from Vulture Street, however all are very different from the album itself, except for the use of highly contrasting colours.

The music video for "On My Mind" was directed by Scott Walton.[2] The video, like the group's previous single "Like a Dog", was filmed in black and white.[2]

Cover Versions [link]

In 2005, on the third season of Australian Idol, the song was performed by contestant Tarni Stephans on the Top 12 Australiana theme night. Stephans was eliminated the next night on the verdict show, however she recorded a cover of this song on that seasons cast album.

In 2007, (Baby I've Got You) On My Mind was performed again on the fifth season of Australian Idol by Natalie Gauci who eventually won the series. Gauci recorded a cover of the song for her Winner's Journey album.

Ironically, the two Idol contestants to release a recorded cover of this song have been both a contestant who was the first to be eliminated from their season's Top 12 (Stephans) and a winner of the series (Gauci).

Towards the end he plays a video throughout the mall asking that girl to meet him at a theater. In the last scene, you see the girl come up behind him at the theater, take a picture of him, and walk into the theater together, both of their photos next to each other on the ground.

Bend Sinister (band)

Bend Sinister is a progressive-indie band formed in 2001 now based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band takes its name from a novel by Vladimir Nabokov.

History

The band formed in 2001 and began playing as many bar shows as they possibly could in their home town of Kelowna, British Columbia. After their move to Vancouver BC, selling out a four-song EP, and acquiring a new drummer and guitarist, the band sought out local producer Shawn Cole to put together what is now their first full-length album Through the Broken City. The band did three consecutive nationwide tours in support of the album.

After gaining experience from the road, Bend Sinister returned to the studio to record a few new songs. These songs included the single "Time Breaks Down", which moved the band into uncharted territory and captured the attention of Distort Entertainment president, Greg Below.

In 2006, Bend Sinister switched labels to newly formed sister division of Distort Entertainment, Distort Light.

Chamonix

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, more commonly known simply as Chamonix (formerly also spelled Chamounix), is a commune in the Haute-Savoie département in the Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. It was the site of the first Winter Olympics in 1924. The commune's population of around 9,800 ranks 865th within the country of France.

Situated near the massive peaks of the Aiguilles Rouges and most notably the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix is one of the oldest ski resorts in France and is known as the "gateway to the European Cascades." The north side of the summit of Mont Blanc, and therefore the summit itself are part of the village of Chamonix. To the south side, the situation is different depending on the country. Italy considers that the border passes through the top. France considers that the boundary runs along the rocky Tournette under the summit cap, placing it entirely in French territory. The south side was in France, assigned to the commune of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains sharing the summit with its neighbor Chamonix. It is this situation "for France," which is found on the French IGN maps. The Chamonix commune is well known and loved by skiers and mountain enthusiasts of all types, and via the cable car lift to the Aiguille du Midi it is possible to access the world famous off-piste skirun of the Vallée Blanche. With an area of 245 km2 (95 sq mi), Chamonix is the fourth largest commune in mainland France.

  • 1924 Winter Olympics

    The 1924 Winter Olympics, officially known as the I Olympic Winter Games (French: Les Iers Jeux olympiques d'hiver), were a winter multi-sport event which was held in 1924 in Chamonix, France. Originally called Semaine Internationale des Sports d'Hiver ("International Winter Sports Week") and held in association with the 1924 Summer Olympics, the sports competitions were held at the foot of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, and Haute-Savoie, France between January 25 and February 5, 1924. The Games were organized by the French Olympic Committee, and were in retrospect designated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the I Olympic Winter Games.

    The tradition of holding the Winter Olympics in the same year as the Summer Olympics would continue until 1992, after which the current practice of holding a Winter Olympics in the second year after each Summer Olympics began.

    Although Figure Skating had been an Olympic event in both London and Antwerp, and Ice Hockey had been an event in Antwerp, the winter sports had always been limited by the season. In 1921, at the convention of the IOC in Lausanne, there was a call for equality for winter sports, and after much discussion it was decided to organize an "international week of winter sport" in 1924 in Chamonix.
