There's been a lot of great music post 1990, but unfortunately I think the marketing machine had well and truly started to dominate by then and more and more music and performers were being "manufactured" rather than coming up through the live music scene. If you want to see what marketing has done to music in Asia, look no further than PopAsia on SBS on a Sunday morning. It's a real shame, because there used to be a lot of really exciting stuff going on in Asian music - well, I suppose there still is, but there is so much more dross that you have to wade through in order to find it.

It's pretty simple. I try to work out what of today's music will still be on the airwaves in 20-30 years. Of what I listen to, I think Coldplay, Muse and possibly The Killers. But there's not much - a lot of the best stuff is too Triple J-indie to stay around and all the average stuff is the Top40 stuff.

Seriously, people will barely be listening to LMFAO in 3 months let alone 30 years.

Jimi Hendrix still rules. I am still waiting to hear a rival. It won't happen.

Well, I tend to disagree... yes Hendrix created a whole new genre, but as far as abilities and originality go, I think there are a number who come close (if not equal him). The obvious one would be Frank Zappa who was not only the master of major genre bending, but he probably had an even more unique sound than Hendrix. Peter Green of the original (and good) Fleetwood Mac was another... when he wasn't playing some of the best blues guitar around, he was creating some incredible improvisations such as on his album End of the Game. Another who I see as being just as important as Hendrix when it came to creating a whole new genre is Robert Fripp (one of my personal favourites).

You put up some fine competition Hardtack, Particularly FZ whom i consider a musical genius. But as far as the guitar goes, James Marshall still sits on his own cloud. Imagine what he and miles davis would have produced...it was in the wings before Jimi went to sleep

Yes, I do understand what you mean about Hendrix. Some of the stuff that Davis did with John McLaughlin ([censored] Brew sessions) is pretty incredible.

Aah yes [censored] Brew. I heard that as a 15 year old. It was and is amazing. Hunt down the "Jack Johnson" soundtrack. It's just a great jam session really.

Eddie Hazel from Funkadelic.

10 minutes of Maggot Brain bliss.

Edit: I have feeling WYL would know who Eddie is.

Redleg, tip for race 7?

Sorry striker I was too late getting on Demonland today. I think I tipped Dunaden on here somewhere after he won the Geelong Cup and hadn't changed my mind since. I also thought At First Sight would run a big race but he didn't. I still need to watch the replays to see the runs again. Hope you had a win. I told everyone the weight would stop Americain. Very uspet for my friend Craig Williams who has missed a Melbourne Cup and a record, really stiff, even though he deserved a suspension.

Not to be outdone by WJ i had some banana ice cream with my dessert last night. Though not yellow it was great.

Doubt it redleg, I was up there last week and inspite of all you hear AFL is still in its infancy.

And after getting belted last week who cares!

I just pray we get no injuries the result I could not care less about.

That would be right. I've seen several Broncos guernseys on the streets, a few Titans jumpers but not a single GCS or Lions outfit.

I'm going on Friday night to support our three lads and have a look at the stadium but it doesn't appear to be attracting any publicity.

Love to hear your thoughts on the game WJ.

I was surprised to read that the coach of the Irish team is a former MFC listed player Anthony Tohill. He never played seniors for us and I remember nothing about him.

Anyway, the build up to the game here is about as exciting as the above snippet of information.

I remember him WJ I think he was on the list for 2 years but never got beyond ordinary seconds player.

Was about the same time as Jimmy and Sean were playing.

Big night at the Sheraton Mirage buffet tonight. Kevin "Shifter" Sheahan (the father figure of Australian footy was there with a group - obviously in town for tomorrow night's big IR face off between Oz and Ireland (to which I'm a late scratching).

I didn't ask any questions. I would've felt stupid asking him who he thought we would pick at #36.

Here is an item which I thought might be of appeel to readers of this thread and which I plucked out of my local newspaper - Bananas are yummy, Mummy

To leave the fruit for a moment. I was wondering if we might go for a couple of smokies at our last 2 picks or continue with best available. As we are out of the first round and star mids won't be there in the 50's and next year we have Viney and 2 bonus picks, maybe we will go a little left field.

I just received an email detailing the first artist announcements for next year's Byron Bay Bluesfest... so far they include among others:

Roger Daltrey, the Pogues, Earth, Wind and Fire, John Butler Trio, Yes, Buddy Guy, Brian Setzer's Rockabilly Riot (my personal fave), Johhny Lang, and Steve Earl.

I wonder if they have a sponsorship arrangement with Zimmer?

Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
