Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

There is a "Soundwave" broo-ha-ha going on. 

It has been cancelled for next year and looks like this year is under threat.

Damn - I bought a new black t-shirt and have been in an anti-tanning booth ( makes me white and pastey) in anticipation.

The following track by Black Sabbath featured as the intro to the final episode of Fargo (season 2) ... from their 'Paranoid' album of 1970 ...

If you already bought tickets, I'm pretty sure you should be able to negotiate with your bank for the refund and they will chase it up from the promoters.  At least, this is what I heard in a radio discussion regarding this matter today (the agency was saying they will refund customers as soon as the promoters return the ticket sales money to them, so the bank refund might be the fastest and safest option).

Jeepers. And here I was saving water bottles and looking at potential creative (scribble) artwork in the pursuit of ink poisoning. 

I guess my perforated ear drums can remain perforated for another year, without any vain hope of recovery.

The greatest duet since Sonny and Cher

To my mind, Murder Ballads is one of the greatest albums recorded... however, I'm afraid Queen have never done it for me... in fact, I would go so far as to say their supposed masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most pompous pieces of crap ever committed to vinyl/CD.

The Queen song (Radio Goo Goo) isn't a masterpiece but Freddie's captivation of a packed out Wembley Stadium is as good as I have seen. I love it more for the theatre than the song itself.

Certainly a far cry from Sunbury where they were all but run out of town :-)

I know someone who was at that concert booing them off the stage. 

I missed that concert... I went to the first Sunbury in January 1972... interesting sums it up best, I think.  Some great music, but lots of drunk yobbos beating the crap out of each other and lots of stoners who didn't seem to know where they were.

Swamp rock?

I suppose CCR's music falls into that genre ... read recently that the band was from San Francisco. As what can happen, there was a major falling out within the band that still remains ... a brilliant group, all the same.

 

 

And thanks to JJ for the tip on how to post up youtube clips ...

... On the youtube page there's a share button and an embed option. If you copy that code, then in the demonland post click source and paste it. After clicking source again it should appear.

A fabulous talent ... lead singer and lead guitar (many of their songs had great and unique riffs) Rolling Stone magazine has him high up in their all-time categories in both areas.

The bit I find quite intriguing is that the band emanated from San Francisco. But then again, a lot of music has a lot of it's influence from the South - esp jazz, rock, country music, blues etc. Not all of course, but a large chunk.

Here's one of my favourites from the band ... and I really like this particular youtube clip as well ...

Great memories Maca. I had the single or EP and Green River was the B side but that was my favourite song.

Went to a  great gig yesterday - Billy Miller has released a new album called "Australia" - love the album ( hate the title ).

He played the album start to finish yesterday and was ably backed up by Bill McDonald, Johnny Annis, James Black, Rebecca Barnard and his son, Eddie.

He wrote a couple of songs with Paul Kelly ( in a rain delay of the cricket !) so Paul Kelly was also on stage with him and sang.

The second set was him doing some of his stuff from yesteryear including stuff from "The Spaniards"  - he had Mick Peeling singing with him.

 

( also saw John Butler Trio on Saturday night - the man is a genius)

Here's a couple that I came across randomly ... don't know a great deal about either band but both songs have got a nice driving rhythm ... could have almost gone on the jazz thread but this thread will do.

The first Chicago Transit Authority album was brilliant... they were a real contrast to Blood Sweat and Tears who were a very smooth sounding outfit... CTA at that time had a guitarist who was more influenced by Hendrix than any jazz greats and consequently the sound had a real edge to it.  It was a shame what they became though.

And what Chicago became ended up appealing to many others (who were perhaps born later and missed their early stuff) Music is like that.

As an example, Steely Dan started off as a (sort of) commercial band which I was a bit beige about and then went non-commercial with 'The Royal Scam' & 'Aja' (which is the stuff that I really really loved) and then went a bit commercial again with 'Gaucho' (which I really liked but didn't love)   And there are numerous people who don't like Steely Dan at all - it takes all types.

It's definitely a generational thing and we are all heavily influenced by the period in our lives of say the ages of 15 - 25 (or thereabouts) ... especially around that 17-22 age period.  After that, anything new has to be really good for one to accept it readily (IMO) ... or, the music has to remind us or take one back to when we were heavily influenced.  Over the years, I've learned to appreciate almost anything.

That's my take on it anyway 'ht' ... and then there's the brass influence in rock that seems to only appeal to a certain amount of people.  To this day, I still am blown away by the 'Peter Gunn theme' ... Tinsley Waterhouse used to do a great version when I used to see them at the Station Hotel (Prahran)

Here's a couple more with that brass influence ... more BST and Chicago (the first clip is a little 'different') ... btw, the other music thread that 'nutbean' started is a beaut - couple of really good venues there with a lot of favourites from the past appearing (not forgetting of course the jazz thread kicked off by JJ)

I agree with what you're saying Macca... I was more expressing my personal disappointment :-)  However, if you want brass at its finest in a rock n roll context, try this on for size...

Wow, great stuff hardtack!

The great thing with music and all it's genre's is there is a seemingly endless supply - in many ways we're spoilt for choice ... discovering* new music doesn't have to mean it was made recently. I preferred the earlier stuff from Chicago as well ... I've always found it fascinating how a number of bands/artists run out of ideas where as others just change direction and can often remain successful by doing so.

*With regards to the movies, great books, some TV etc etc, the same discoveries go on ... (especially with jazz) I tend to treat it all the same way whether it's new or old.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
