All the news and streams and galleries and other shit from the past week, all wrapped up in one handy post. Best served with beer.

We publish so much content every single day here at theMusic.com.au that sometimes you'll miss the big announcements, and we can't have that, can we? And so, at the end of each week we'll be posting a wrap-up, a cheat-sheet to the week that's passed, so you'll never miss out on the important stuff.
