When I first heard this song on the radio I couldn't get it out of my head.

But, stupidly, I was too busy repeating it over and over in my head to bother listening for the artist and the name of the song. So it drove me nuts for ages trying to track down the song and album.

When I heard it again, it distracted me enough to miss the name of the song, but not the artist. It was the late (well not at the time), great Elliott Smith.

So I high tailed it down to the local music store to get the album. The only album of ES they had was his recently released Figure 8.

It turns out that the song I had stuck in my head wasn't on the album. But I wasn't disappointed as Figure 8 is a brilliant album and remains one of my favourite.

I later tracked down the name of the elusive song, Waltz #2. Enjoy.

And for good measure here's a song from Figure 8.

Please excuse the long post but I had to get this off my chest.

It frustrates the hell out of me that there's so much good music out there and never enough free space on my MP3 player to put it.

I guess a decent sized ipod classic might help the cause, but itunes gets my goat and apple is turning out to be just as big of a bully and megalomaniac as microsoft (In my opinion).

But as they say in the movies "Necessity is the mother of invention"

    I've had that song, mostly the riff, stuck in my head for days now and I'm still enjoying it.

    Reminds me a lot of this song.

    The influence of John Lennon stands out in this track - though maybe that's just me .

    Kasabian are genuinely unreal. Finally getting to see them in Jan.

    Same week the future Mrs. and I are singing Laura Marling, she's also brilliant.

    Maybe it's being on leave for a few weeks, but I've been listening to a lot of old jazz and the like of late. Stuff like Dave Brubeck, Sinatra, Nina Simone, Bing Crosby, Dexter Gordon even the High Society soundtrack. But it doesn't really fit in with the rock vibe in the thread.

    On reflection however I'm reminded that it's a new year, resolutions and all that stuff. And invariably when resolutions are mentioned I think of turning over a new leaf, getting healthy and all that crap. I may have to give a fair old crack this year as I'm in line to be a groomsman and I don't want to be the fat one out.

    Anyway, when it comes to exercise music Korn seem to do it for me every time. Their Greatest Hits Vol. 1 is one hellova collection of songs, get's me pumped, motivated and angry enough that I seem to forget about pain and push through.

    Edit: Crap. I just started listening to the album and I should have posted the song Right Now. The clip is a bit on the gross side but it's a pretty bloody good song.

    if anyone's interested.

    Funny you should mention jazz because I like a fair bit of it as well . And I'm sure there are others here that do as well .

    Tell you what , if you start a jazz thread I will contribute whenever I can . Most of it would be on youtube or the like . Maybe the songs will just have still shots - but that's quite ok .

    Some of my favourite artists include George Duke , Nils , Jeff Golub , Acoustic Alchemy , Ronny Jordan , Chuck Loeb , David Benoit and various saxophonists .

    Most of the jazz I like is a bit uptempo but it's somehow described as downtempo - I don't get that , but let's face it , how do you describe jazz?

    Cheers and btw Korn are good .

    This retro(ish) sounding track has been the no.1 rock song in the US for a number of weeks now . And it is 'The Black Keys' official video of 'Lonely Boy'.

    Have we had any Zeppelin yet?

    I was listening to my favourite album of theirs a few nights ago, Led Zeppelin III. I don't think there was an official music video released, not sure why, but it's a fricken unbelievable song.

    This track has really grown on me after a number of listens .

    I think what I like most about this song is how this band have matured and perhaps brought out their best song ?

    I don't mean that in any disparaging way as they're pretty damn good ! .

    Jason Reeves writes the sort of mellow, semi-depressing tunes I can listen to as background music all day while I try to contain my rage at work. Anything with a harder edge is too dangerous.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
