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.

Saw Russell Morris on last weekend at Caravan Club.  Also saw him as part of a great lineup this year at Bluesfest.  He was great both times.  The final highlight video from Bluesfest shows multiple  artists from across the 5 days to the soundtrack of The Real Thing.  It's a nice piece of work! Hope the linky works.

I am a Caravan Club devotee and have seen RM there a few times.

I love Russell Morris - if he never played his old stuff again I wouldn't care - his last two albums are absolutely fantastic. (for those who don't know he has been writing music with  Australian history themes.

Going to Memo in St Kilda in a few weeks to see Daryl Braithwaite.  Never been there.  Any tips for an outsider anyone?

Saw DB at Caravan Club last year and he was great - much better than I expected and really great vocals still. 

One I wouldn't see again is Stephen Cummings. He was on a different planet to the audience and seemingly even his own band.

Memo is owned by the same bloke as Caravan - it is a truly beautiful old room. Hardtack and I went and saw the reformed Sports there last year - it was a great gig. I have seen plenty of gigs there as well.

The acoustics are great and you will really like the place. Parking in StKilda is the only problem.

The one venue of this ilk that leaves me a little cold is the flying saucer club in Elsternwich - again - used to be owned by the same bloke. I find with the very low ceiling the acoustics are ordinary and you can hear everyone talking over the music.

I love Stephen Cummings - and will be seeing him in a short while at the Caravan Club - but you are right about him - I book tickets not knowing was Stephen Cummings will turn up. When he is good he is really really good ( but I have seen him a couple of times when he was in his own world)

saw these guys at Groovin the moo - didnt know much about them but they were great - i love any band where they can lift the whole drum stand - including the drummer  - into the audience and have him drumming on top of the crowd.

Can be very annoying if an acoustic act is on...

I just don't get it. Got to a pub and talk your heart out but I cannot understand that if you pay to listen to music why aren't you listening. I find talking during any performance rude to the performer and rude to other patrons who are trying to listen. I have been known to politely ask people to keep quiet,

The great Django, influenced by the "big bang theory"of jazz Louis Armstrong and the pioneer of jazz guitar Eddie Lang. Eddie set it up for Django and Charlie Christian to build a great legacy. Unfortunately they all died quite young and there is very limited video available, non of Charlie Christian.

Amazing what he does with 2 fingers and a couple of stumps (ex - fingers)...

Wow, what a great clip!  I was lucky enough to see Stephane Grappelli in the 70's at the Dallas Brookes Hall... he had ex Soft Machine guitarist John Etheridge accompanying him.

And speaking of Charlie Christian, he was the favourite guitarist of a bebop playing friend of mine who I worked with at Veterans' Affairs in St Kilda Rd in the late 70's.... don't know whatever happened to him (a guy named Steve Gunther), but he was a very very good guitarist who used to play at places like Bogarts in Nth Melbourne and The Grain Factory (was that the name of the place?).  The last I had heard from him (decades ago) he was heading off to New York to study under bebop pianist Lennie Tristano.

Same them last time around - they were great - played for almost 3 hours - ( Robert Smith has never worn shorts nor has ever felt sand between his toes).

I am going to an interesting gig on Saturday night  - The Brewster Brothers ( Angels ) are doing a introspective,  talking about their journey and in particular the journey of the Angels , interspersed with film clips and some documentary stuff and a little bit of live acoustic music from them.  Should be great.

Nut just the same this time, some 9 years later, a 3 hour 35 song tour de force by The Cure on Thursday night. A. Great show and Robert Smith somehow does all the vocals and utilises 5 or 6 guitars as he works his way through 30 plus of his own songs, the man is a genius. No other band has the same sound and in a 40 year career he has never had to contemplate a need to accommodate the latest music fad because the Cure is the Cure I suppose.

Anyway I was again blown away by their music just as I was when they last toured here in 2007. What has changed in those 9 years is their audience, the Gothics have gone since 2007 and have been  replaced by a large number of younger people with iPhones etc. great nights entertainment.

Steely Dan ... 'The Royal Scam' (the album) ...

Here is an album from nearly 40 years ago.  All the songs on this album will grow on you if you like the style (jazz /funk/rock/fusion)  Although none of the songs lifted from the album became hits, that outcome was almost certainly not the intention of Fagen & Becker anyway.

'Aja' was the follow-up album from this one and is arguably better, but this album (The Royal Scam) was originally marked a little harshly probably because the music was such a departure from their previous stuff ... later on it was recognised in a much much better light.

Whilst here I may as well post up the follow-up album 'Aja'  

'Aja' the album was featured in that excellent "Classic albums" series ...

The Royal Scam is one of my favourites, love Carlton's solo on Kid Charlemagne...his best work for me is when playing with 'Dan' and 'The Crusaders', his solo stuff can be bland.

The track 'Aja' is the highlight on that album for me.

They involved a veritable who's who of session muso's for both albums from what I've gathered. 

The songs on both albums go up and down the pecking order as the years pass too ... for instance, I instantly liked 'The Fez', 'Josie' & 'Peg' but I now really like all 3 songs for different reasons. 

Their music (especially on these 2 albums) is everlasting.

From the moment I heard Ricky Don't Lose That Number, Steely Dan lost me completely. The fact that Skunk Baxter played for another bad that I could not stomach (Doobies) didn't help matters...I did however like Don Was with Was Not Was.

Just for you 'HT' :ph34r: ... (actually, I'm not a big wrap for this song either - oh so different to the stuff on the 2 albums that I posted up)

Great weekend of music.

Saw Vika and Linda Bull for the umpteenth time  - man can those ladies sing...wowee..

The surprise packet for me was Henry Wagons ( who I have not see before) who crosses so many genres - he stalked the stage like a caged animal - he was fantastic

    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
