Here are a couple of tunes featuring guys that occasionally play with my band.  The first one features a guy going by the name of George Washingmachine on fiddle, the second features a guy name Jy-Perry Banks (and his brother Zane Banks on vocals) who I consider to be one of the best pedal steel players I've seen or heard, and the third as well as featuring Jy, also features a guy named Johnny Gauci on keyboards.

If you're into country music rjay, I'd assume you've heard these guys, but if not, enjoy:
 

 

Thanks 'hardtack'...I've been lucky enough to see Buddy solo (at the Corner Hotel) and also with Emmylou...and almost forgot also saw him with Steve Earle's band at the Central Club Hotel in Richmond.

They are a great music couple...

Had to post this one.  Highly recommend watching the whole thing but if you're in a hurry make sure to at least watch the four minutes from 5:00 onwards.  Mind boggling.

Losing interest in the footy....

Lets see if I can find some music on Youtube.

...back in a minute.

Ah yes, love Gabriel and at his peak on this tour...just love the sound of his voice and what about the band.

They look like they are having so much fun...it's infectious.

Would it be possible for a mod to get rid of that unnecessary apostrophe in "Videos" in the thread title.  Thanks.

When you main listening genres are Metal, Punk and Reggae then vinyl never went away ?

Thanks 'Macca', there's something special about vinyl. Putting an LP on the turntable, looking at great cover art and reading the liner notes not to mention the sound.

The doco was made this year so it will be new to most.  American slant of course but vinyl is vinyl and it has universal appeal

Still have most of my Records (Records are made of vinyl)

But no turntable for many years.

Hi Definition Files don't deteriorate every time a sharp needle is placed on it!

But I still love to have the Records in my hand.

The price of Records is completely outrageous in todays world!!


Vinyl never went away and is now fast becoming a very big selling point in this age of digital music sourcing... people want something tactile again.  About a year ago I helped at my friends' record shop that deals probably 90% vinyl (the rest being a few CDs, posters, music books and videos), while they went to Canada for a month, and business was quite brisk.  As a mark of it's popularity, it has been supported by music industry doyens such as Glen A Baker and Stuart Coupe who have voluntarily attended in store promotions and quite regularly do their record shopping there.

Hopefully this link works... a few photos that I took on one such occasion:

Still have my turntable from 1981 although finding a replacement stylus is becoming harder. Found a joint in Sydney that still stocks them. 

Agree on the cost of vinyl these days. My daughter has become a vinyl fan in recent years- she's lucky to find an album under 50 bucks ! She's also a fan of a lot of "my" generations music to the point that the sounds coming from her room sound a lot like mine in 1977. She's also liberated a fair few from her aunties who were divesting themselves of their record collections.

For the past few years I've had a weekly catch-up with a few mates. Armed with guitars & suchlike we set about playing (slaughtering) a range of songs from classic to obscure. During restrictions we've substituted this with a Zoom meeting and decided that seeing we couldn't play, we'd do album reviews. While that has been great fun, we all agree that despite the accessibility advantages of Spotify, the experience of listening to an album was better when you had the record sleeve to peruse as you listened. Especially if it contained the lyrics.

If you live in Sydney, you should pop in and check out RPM Records.  They do have pretty hefty prices on some of their LPs, but they also have plenty at affordable prices.  They're at 113 Marrickville Rd, Marrickville... just over Victoria Rd on the Sydenham side (next door to a great little live music bar called the Gasoline Pony - where my band plays once every month).

Nah, Melbourne HT. The Sydney joint is one I found online in my search for a stylus.

It's so great hearing these kinds of stories and youngsters really digging in to music of the past generation in its original form! 

In the last couple of years I've definitely become a vinyl fiend (to the point where it's a problem :p). My turntable is just a Sony PS-D705 from the early 90s that actually used to be my great uncle's who passed away last year. It goes alright but it can be hard to get into the backend and try and fix things like the belt and the tone arm balancing, maybe Sony did this on purpose? I also needed a new stylus and they isn't sell the old Sony ones anymore but I was able to get a standard Audio-Technica one and plug right in which was handy.

Records can be quite up there in price, I tend to buy a lot of local stuff especially on the Flightless Records label (King Gizzard, Orb, Traffik Island etc) but still looking at $40 a pop! There's a few sites that aren't too bad for the mainstream stuff but yeah not a cheap hobby!

  • 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?
