Big vacuums could combat 'hairy panic' in Australia city

A rural Australian city is considering vacuuming away "hairy panic" tumbleweed that is clogging up homes.
Substantial rainfall followed by dry conditions has caused a "hairy panic explosion" in Wangaratta, Victoria.
Frustrated residents say they have spent hours each day clearing the weeds, with piles at times reaching roof height.
Now the council says it is considering attaching large vacuums to street sweepers to deal with the problem.READ AND SEE VIDEO =http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-35609602

The Easybeats to AC/DC: The Story of Aussie Rock

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0705t5j/the-easybeats-to-acdc-the-story-of-aussie-rock=
A film about the sound of Australian rock and the emergence of one of the world's greatest rock bands - AC/DC, or Acca Dacca as they are known in Australia, and the legendary music company, Albert Music (Alberts) that helped launched them on to the global rock scene.
Through the 1960s, 70s and 80s, Alberts created a house of hits in Australia that literally changed the sound of Australian popular music.
It started with the Easybeats and their international hit Friday On My Mind back in the 60s. In the 1970s when Australia was in the midst of a deep recession, a rough and ready pub rock sound emerged, characterised by bands like Rose Tattoo who were promoted by family-run company, Alberts. The raw power and fat guitar sound that characterised Aussie rock was pioneered by the Alberts and took Australia and the world by storm.
The sound of Aussie rock really exploded when the Alberts, a well-to-do family from the Sydney suburbs, joined forces with the Youngs, a Glasgow family who had emigrated to Australia. The result was AC/DC.
