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

Further to this, I should say that a portion ($5) of the sale of each shirt goes to the buyers choice of either Cancer Research or MND Research.

Have only just started watching 'Slow Horses' (excellent TV Drama) and this is the theme tune to the show

At first I thought the song might have been from the 60's but Mick Jagger wrote the song recently with Daniel Pemberton

Mick Jagger - Strange Game

Bob Spencer (The Angels and Skyhooks).

One of the good guys...

I think this might be a safe forum for a while.

Sorry not to have checked in recently.

I just watched some of Coachella on YouTube...

I'm not a fan of big shows, would rather more intimate affairs.

However, Benson Boon (never heard of him before) was impressive.

It was a massive performance/show, only caught the last few songs but the penultimate was 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (not really a Queen fan either). He covered. the vocal & theatrics beautifully, big choir onstage, was wondering how the guitar player was going to cover May's parts (she could play by the way) then May elevates up through the stage...

Impressive...

 

I haven't been through the previous pages, so apologies if it's been posted already.

Win lose or draw, I may have to indulge in a few tasty beverages. Here's hoping for a win.

Go Dees!

Here's a couple of tracks from the classic album by Fleetwood Mac (Rumours)

Firstly, one of the better opening tracks and a real party starter (back in the day!)

Followed by another track that is now used by the BBC as an introduction to their F1 coverage

I’ve got to say that Fleetwood Mac pretty much died for me from the moment that Peter Green exited. They became a very good MOR band, but for me had none of the excitement and originality in their music, that the original band had.

4 to 5 years can make such a difference with regards to what we appreciate in a band. For instance, I loved (and still love) a lot of the music from the early 60's to the early 70's but primarily the hits from that time

I was too young to be into alternative bands or even progressive rock from that time. Just the hits

So the first music from Fleetwood Mac that I got into was the Rumours album. I'd heard of them of course but didn't know a lot about their earlier music

I remember years ago we had a similar conversation about Steely Dan ... you were into their early music whilst I got on board with Aja & The Royal Scam in the mid 70's

So here's a couple from Steely Dan from their early days

Yes, I can see where you’re coming from as Rumours was the biggest album in the year it was released, and is probably the beginning of the band’s popularity with people who had had little to no exposure to the original band.

I don’t object to the album, but it just doesn’t do it for me like the original band with Peter Green, who I consider to be one of the greatest blues/rock guitarists to walk this earth 😉

It’d be pretty boring if we all had the same taste.

Few songs I've been spinning of late.

Kyle used to make my favourite beer years ago (big coincidence with that surname), now he makes some of my favourite songs.

Watty I've posted before, this one is pretty powerful and the message rings true. If you're struggling reach out and talk to your mates.

And Marlon, they've been playing this new record heaps on Double J. All sung in Māori, it's beautiful

Wow!! I think I need to crawl out from under this rock (of illness) I’ve been living under, and experience more music, rather than being comfortable with my tired old playlists!!

I hadn’t previously heard any of these people before, but each of them is stunningly good and I’ll be listening a whole lot more from now on! Thanks so much for posting them!!

That Kyle Brew song (God’s Plan) for some reason reminds me of a song I’ve heard before, but that’s not a put down… it’s a lyrically and musically brilliant piece of work! And his guitar playing is so good… maybe the fact that just last night I’d watched ‘A Complete Unknown’, had triggered something in me, that made me watch and listen more closely?

Watty Thompson…who is he and where did he come from?? That was seriously one of the best live performances I have heard in a long time (how the hell did he manage all of those people on stage… a coordinator’s nightmare)… the introduction to the song got me REALLY listening, and then the lyrics he was singing and the music that accompanied them, simply had me in tears! Seriously! Really in tears.

I did love the Marlon Williams song, but coming after the first two songs seemed to lessen its affect on me. Perhaps it was spoiled somewhat by the perfect production, following on from the rough and readiness of those other two songs that seemed to ooze authenticity,?… I don’t know. But I did love it regardless.. those harmonies were breathtakingly beautiful.

Again, thanks so much for sharing!!


These are prob 2 of my fav songs released this year

  • 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.
