And another live track from my favourite artist of the last 5 years or so, The Bones of J.R Jones.

    Not sure if previously posted, but I'd love to see this live.

    edit:  Look for Max Gawn (in light blue t-shirt) at 0:39!!

    Now THAT is my kind of music! He reminds me a little of the Melbourne based singer, Archer.

    This following song however, is in a style far removed from Jones’s bones’s. I love the fragility of the vocals and the sound in general; a great band in my opinion.

    Thanks for that Ray.  It's a most entertaining retelling of the story.

    Gram (real name Ingram) made some wonderful music as a band member and also as a solo artist.  "Grievous Angel" is one of my all-time favourite albums.

    Another version of the story is that Kaufman was charged with "Gram Theft Parsons".

    Have you seen the movie (Grand Theft Parsons) 'Demonstone'? I see there is  a full version up on Youtube. Must watch it again....

    So, are we in need a bit of chillout jazz/rock? (or however else you might describe Steely Dan's Gaucho)

    Terrific album, all the same (all 7 songs from the album will play)

    How is it all going back on the vinyl, rjay

    It's something I'll no doubt do down the track (someday)

    I've heard new vinyl is a tad expensive but that earthy sound quality would make it worthwhile, yeah? 

    And do all the modern artists offer a vinyl alternative?

    I love it 'Macca', but I'm listening to my old vinyl & haven't bought any new stuff.

    There are some pretty expensive new & reissued vinyl releases out there.

    Not sure it's as good as the old but it's fun to put a record on & listen to a side then turn it over & listen to the other...

    Once more to the self promotion parapets my friends!!

    I thought I’d chuck in a link to a video containing a sampling of a few tunes played by my band, Los Romeos Oxidados (plus a couple of ring-ins on guitars) at our gig just this Saturday (07/09/2024), at The Gasoline Pony in the Sydney suburb of Marrickville.

    I hope you enjoy it.

    The Hard Ons are a fantastic live band. Blacky the guitarist and Raymond Ann the bassist have another band Nunchucka Superfly that play around Sydney, and Blacky does the occasional solo show. I run into him every now and then as we both live in the same suburb; in fact I’m hoping he might accept my invitation to sit in with my band for a few tunes, tomorrow (I have what my band mates probably think is a bad habit, of inviting guests to sit in with the band).

    He informed me that they’re playing in Melbourne, so unfortunately, it’s negatory!

    Have caught Nunchuka Superfly in Geelong and Melbourne a few times as well. Prefer the Hard-Ons though.

    Had to say goodbye to my old cat last month, played this song too often in the last month. It's the final song in a trilogy of of songs (first two released by The Weakerthans) about the relationship between a pet owner in the throes of depression/life and Virtute the Cat. The first two songs are written from the perspective of the cat but this one the cat is basically resurrected in the mind of its recovering owner. Some very good songwriting about a fictional cat.

    Unfortunately I’m going to be jumping back on board the ‘Chemo Bus’ in January due to my test results showing that my health has been heading south over the last three months.  As a result of that news, I stacked our final two gigs with as many guests I could find who were willing to join in with our band.

    No doubt you won’t be familiar with some or all of them, but on the Saturday we had among others, Richard Burgman (Saints and Sunnyboys), Marcus Phelan (Brave New Works, The Numbers and Western Distributors), and Jonny Gretsch (Wasted Ones).  It was a fantastic afternoon, the joint was packed, and I couldn’t have asked for any more… at least so I thought.

    On Sunday we played a friend's xmas lane party he holds every year for the residents in the street (we were neighbours until I moved). As usual I had applied my scatter gun approach to inviting musicians to join in, working on the theory that maybe half would front up… how wrong was I.  Most did front which left me with the dilemma of trying to fit them all in somehow.

    There were Mick Daley (The Remains and Corporate Raiders), Terry Serio (The Elks and acting in various TV productions), Murray Cook (The Wiggles), Richard Burgman again (Saints and Sunnyboys), Dom Turner (Backsliders and The Rural Blues Project) and Bob Spencer (The Angels and Skyhooks).  The accompanying vids were taken by a friend and I ran them through iMovie. The sound is not a great representation of what it was like actually being there, but it does at least give you a taste. These are the first time that Bob and Dom have played together, and they’re accompanied on bass by our guy Frank Grubisa (a brilliant luthier by the way), and on drums by our guy Joe Breen and his occasional sub in our band, Luke Robinson.

    Oh, and if anyone is interested, I’m selling t-shirts I’ve designed for my band; all the info can be found here:

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
