Back in the day the 'hooks were the best

This is possibly their best song for all sorts of reasons ... not the least for Shirl's distinctive vocals - the bloke really could sing.

From 'Ego' ...

yes and no.

The Caravan Club is no more ( don't get me started on the committee that runs the venue - grrrr)

The owner is opening a new venue at the South Oakleigh Club called "The Phoenix Lounge" - Due to open April.

 

Have you graced the "new" Caravan Club with your presence yet Nut ? Saw Mick Thomas there a week or two ago (he was fantastic as usual). Very different experience from the previous venue

Quote

The obsessiveness of the lyrics is reflected in the repetitiveness of the music. The song contains the same phrases played over a number of rhythmic, tempo and time signature variations. Perhaps the sheer otherness of I Want You explains why it was so well-liked by all members of The Beatles.

Most remarkable, however, is the grinding three-minute finale, featuring Lennon's and Harrison's massed overdubbed guitars multitracked many times over the same relentless chord pattern, which was slashed at full volume to give the impression that it could have gone on forever. Lennon also used the white noise generator from a Moog synth to get the howling wind effect.

A bit shameless self promotion here... my band Los Romeos Oxidados recorded live at the Marrickville (Sydney) bar known as The Gasoline Pony, covering a Lefty Frizzell tune "Watcha Gonna Do Leroy" (maybe not everybody's cup of tea, but a bit of fun nevertheless) - note also, if you hang on after this tune finishes, there are six more clips of varying lengths that will start up automatically (starting with our version of King Crimson's 21st Century Schizoid Man); but be warned, production values were thrown out of the window and we're probably fortunate that we weren't as well!:

Great, great find SWYL.  i found that fascinating. Was cool seeing them "unmasked", just making music in the studio. Kinda fun to hear the mistakes too - your ears are so tuned to how the record sounds that anything out of whack really stands out. I've only dabbled with recording but it;s a bloody unforgiving & often laborious process. Cool seeing Ross Wilson's role as producer.

Yes i found that in The ABC archive many years ago. Great Band “The Hookers”  They could really play in the studio and live. 
in the studio you have to get it perfect, because that is the way it will stay forever. 
“Love’s not good enough” was always a favourite long before i found this gem

One of the few benefits of the lockdown is some of the music on Youtube...Tom Bukovac is one of Nashville's top session players. His wife Sarah is a singer & writer.

He's a big prog fan so not surprisingly has covered an early Genesis tune and another from Jethro Tull...enjoy

"Ripples" - Genesis

 

"Wond'ring Aloud" - Jethro Tull

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
