Would have loved to be there for the Kooyong gig but I was only just born.

Anything from the 70's they did was awesome .Black and Blue included.

WHEN we win the flag in a coupla years we will have to play Sympathy a few times over for the after party.

yes. Between '68-'74 The Stones were right on top of it. And i agree about Black & Blue album which was used to find a new guitarist.

Some Girls is also a beauty.

It's why even today they pull a crowd even though Keith can hardly play anymore because of arthritis in his hands (claws)!!

I was at both the Kooyong and Randwick Racecourse concerts in support of the release of Exile on Main Street... at Randwick, they arrived at the stage in a big white horse drawn carriage, which was pretty funny; but despite the quality of those concerts, as far as best rock act/performance I've ever seen, they were outclassed (in my opinion) by The Clash at Sydney's Capitol Theatre during their Magnificent Seven tour.

Well here's a new show for all true 'Demons' ! A supernatural drama set in a grand building in NYC .

Terry O'Quinn from the show 'Lost' stars ... here's the IMDb link ... 666 Park Avenue

But just be careful what you wish for, because the price you pay... could be your soul. Welcome to The Drake, the premiere apartment building on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

I watched a couple of eps of "Yes Minister" last night.

Anyone who has not seen it. I strongly urge you to do so.

It was made in the 80's but the script & acting is as sharp and clever today as it was then.

Nothing in Politics changes very much.

Exile is the best complete album I've ever heard .You caught them at their Zenith .The Clash would have been good too .

YM is brilliant.

Get your hands on "The Thick of It", in the mold of YM, but a bit of acerbic. Look out of the Director of Comms Malcolm Tucker, a force to be reckoned with!

Its know YM, but pretty good all the same.

Brand new action drama from the UK called 'Hunted' . Stars Australia's own Melissa George . A little along the lines of the 'Bourne' concept and 'Nikita' . Here's the IMDb link ... Hunted

This is the story of a spy with a bull's-eye on her back, a human target unable to trust anyone at any time, even the man she loves. She is, quite literally, running for her life. Hunted is a smart, complex and contemporary spy series.

Just recently watched "my transsexual summer" with my girlfriend. I know you're probably like wtf but it's actually a really interesting show about 7 people in England who are transgender. A real eye-opener to how they serious think they were born the wrong sex, and how they deal with life. 1 of the guys who was born a woman looks seriously like a man, with the build and facial hair and all, while others just look like bad trannys with wigs ha.

There's SFA on at the moment.

I'm heartened by the fact that Arrested Development (not the rap group) will be back on our screens come May this year, one of the most underratted TV shows of last decade.

Tobias: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over: an analyst and a therapist, the world’s first “analrapist.”

Priceless. Is the movie still due this year?

Where and when is it on.

Where and when is it on.

'Hunter' aired from Nov last year on SBS . Series finished up on Jan 12 this year. You'll have to source it out now.

Haha. Tobias has got some of the best lines going on the show.

I read somewhere all 13 episodes will be released all at once an 'netflix', I'm not really across the techo side of things but I think they're a US online TV network. Can't get it here, so ill be looking out for avenues to obtain it, if you're keen I can give you a shout out when i find any info out.

But back to the original point, 13 episodes come out in may and then they're might be a movie after that, tying up all stories within the show. Good times ahead.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the new series. I'll take that over a movie anyday.

I was reading somewhere that the movie has yet to be confirmed and is still unlikely (particularly if they're tying up the story lines in the new series)

If I track down the series before you I'll let you know.

Just watched the first 2 episodes of The Walking Dead. Wow this show is graphic... need to get the whole first season in while the gf is away for the week.

I was a bit skeptical when I started watching the Walking Dead, but it didn't take long to get engrossed in the series.

3 seasons of gory goodness.

Came across what looks to be a decent new 'docudrama' series from the States.

'The Men Who Built America' starts tomorrow night (Monday) at 8.30pm on the 'History' channel.

Miniseries shines a spotlight on the influential builders, dreamers and believers whose feats transformed the United States, a nation decaying from the inside after the Civil War, into the greatest economic and technological superpower the world had ever seen. The Men Who Built America is the story of a nation at the crossroads and of the people who catapulted it to prosperity.

One to keep an eye out for ... 'The Americans.' ... heard some good reports about this brand new drama from the States.

Centers on Russian 'sleepers' operating in the United States in the 1980s. Set during the Cold War when relations between the Big Two are still ebbing and flowing, we are taken on an intriguing ride on the back of an American couple: Phillip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth Jennings (Keri Russell). It is an engrossing story, interspersed with great moments of tension, decadence, and charm

Fully 50% of why the show worked was the music. Whoever we should praise found more good music from the 80's than I remembered there being, and its presence in the show enhances the story. Great mind candy for the thinking person, with something to come back to after the first viewing. I credit the success of The Americans to 3 things: Great script, great music, and Matthew Rhys.

Haven't seen anyone mention 'Life on Mars'. Brilliant UK crime/sci-fi. Had me absolutely hooked. Make sure you watch the UK one, because the yanks (as they seem to always do) ruin the show.

 

Have a new born so not watching a lot of TV at the moment, only show I'm really watching is Law & Order SVU, pretty rock solid show, rarely puts in a bad episode.

Late last year was watching A Moody Christmas on ABC, only 6 episodes, but was very good and good for a laugh, worth watching. I'm also hoping that ABC do a second season of Mad as Hell with Shaun Micallef, with it being an election year they'd be mad not to. Never misses an opportunity to take a stab at Tony Abbott does Mr Micallef, throws some good ones out there about Julia also in order to keep it all balances. hehe.

Other good shows worth a look are my personal favourite The Shield, seven seasons and probably the best cop show you're likely to see. The Big C (Lauara Linney and Oliver Platt) is a good drama also, seen the first two seasons of that now so will hopefully get a hold of season 3 shortly.

If you're after something more light hearted The Office always puts a smile on my face, coming up to their final season now I believe which will be season 9. Go Girls is a pretty good comedy/drama out of New Zealand which I got into when I was over there on my honeymoon. Also just watched season 1 of Parks & Recreation and that's pretty good also. The UK comedies Black Books and The Inbetweeners are hilarious! Inbetweeners is wrong, but if you're male and have gone through highschool is pretty much a running commentary on it IMO.

Otherwise if you want some real classics, you can't go past The Simpsons, seasons 1-13 (all the seasons after 13 suck), Seinfeld and The old Micallef Program (ABC).

Not sure if anyone has stumbled across "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" yet but it's a must view. I only came across it a couple of days ago and have watched ep4 (Alec Baldwin) and ep9 (Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks). The show stars Jerry Seinfeld and he brings along a "Classic car" for each show.


Wonderful comedy ,,, the humour is very quick and slick so it's easily revisited. 10 episodes in the 1st series and each episode goes for between 10 and 20 minutes. Youtube has all of the episodes up. (I believe)

Here's the Alec Baldwin bit ... Larry David, Whoopie Goldberg, Michael Richards and Ricky Gervais also feature in the other shows ...

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
