Yes Zappa despite appearances was very anti drug.

A friend tells the story of some band members sneaking a smoke with him when they were in Melbourne in the 70's.

Yes, I’m not sure that the term is entirely correct, but Zappa was a bit of an anachronism… in that he had very conservative views, but at the same time was light years ahead of his time while being a man of his time. Zappa had all of the traits that you’d expect of a genius.

Got to love Robert...

A friend of mine who we’ve stayed with in Pawling, lives just a few minutes away from Darryl’s House. I asked if he was going to see Fripp, but unfortunately, being the online presentation of Darryl’s House, it was a closed session.

Yes, when we went and stayed at my friend’s place, we had just missed the opportunity to see Commander Cody, who performed there one week earlier.

As for me, the chemotherapy is a pretty rough ride with some pretty nasty side effects. An infection I got in a salivary gland hit me so hard that they had to cancel my chemo cycle I was about to start, and then made me an inpatient for 4 days. All is now good and I start back on my sixth fortnightly cycle of chemo next Monday.

Still in Sydney but music is not possible yet (one side effect being that it makes my voice very weak - I sound like the godfather being voiced by Elmer Fudd). I’m hoping they might give me an extended break from chemo early next year (lat Jan or early Feb), so I can take the band down to Melbourne for a couple of gigs and do other gigs on the way down and on the way back. Fingers crossed for that wish.

Yep, the chemo can be a real trial...

I really hope you get down here for a couple of gigs, would love to get along and catch you.

...but you know in the meantime the godfather/Elmer Fudd sound could just take off.

Good luck with the treatment mate and take good care.

Love to see you in person, fingers crossed.

I've decide to go back to vinyl...bought myself a nice new turntable, amp and speakers as a Christmas present to me.

Still have a lot of my old vinyl, I purged a bit of it a few years back but kept the ones that were important to me.

I reckon this one will be one of the first played...what do you reckon '@hardtack'?

Definitely agree!! You’ll need to track down a copy of Out of the Blue; it’s a brilliant album.  Unfortunately I don’t have the room for a full vinyl friendly set up, so I went the other way and recently purchased a JBL sound bar to replace my bulky space consuming home theatre set up. It has detachable speakers that can be placed to act as rear surround speakers. Seeing as how I’d invested in this technology, I decided to subscribe to the Apple Music streaming service and now seamlessly stream from my iPhone via bluetooth; it’s been a godsend since I’ve been mostly confined to my home. I’ve been tracking down a lot of Oz music from that early 70’s, era and hearing it in a whole new light. Tully, Company Caine, Spectrum and the Indelible Murtceps, La De Das, Coloured Balls, Ariel, Chain, Wendy Saddington and on and on the list goes.

And while I think of it, I’m assuming that you do know that Rob Mackenzie is a member of Demonland.

He’s living in LA now, but when he was in town visiting, myself, my son Liam and Rob, would meet up with another Dees fanatic in David Bland who would be familiar to those of us old enough to remember the miming show Kommotion… fantastic times and I’m still in contact with Rob now and then. I’m hoping if he makes a return visit and that my health also makes a return visit, the four of us will be able to do it all again.

I've still got my original copy of 'Out of the Blue'...apart from the music the cover art from some of these albums is great.

This one I've always loved, The Dingoes another, Sid Rumpo, The Spectrum/Mertceps covers...

Yes, I met up with Rob for one of the Queens Birthday games when he was out here. One of those, if you're going to the game how about we catch up. From memory, a loss, but still an enjoyable day. He told me that he had caught up with you & your son.

I knew someone that used to mime on Kommotion, was a friend of Molly's. Laughed that he was a pop star but couldn't sing a note. Mad North supporter...

Anyway, hope your health turns around & you are up & about soon. Take care...

'@hardtack', you just reminded me of this after mentioning Ian Hunter on another post.

He released a new album last year...84 yo, this was the first song released (Ringo on drums). Reckon it would have been a hit back in the days when such things existed. It's a strong album with lots of interesting guests and the title Defiance - Part 1 hints of more to come.

I love late 60s/early 70s Oz music ... Seasons of Change, Golden Miles, I'll be Gone, Lotus One, The Freak/Hey Pinky (Zoot) ... need I go on?

Yes, there were so many good artists at that time that were not just mimicking what was going on in mainstream USA, UK and Europe. They were establishing an identity that was our own and I honestly think that some of the best music anywhere on the planet was coming out of Australia at that time.

First music from MC5 in 53 years..

There will be critiscm of the production no doubt, the vocals and drums are mixed quite high and the guitairs are a bit low (for an MC5 song anyway).

Personally though I love the track, it's a fresh sound and great to hear these guys with today's production standards.

Interested to hear what you guys think.

I like it, but it is a bit (well, a lot, really) over-produced and it does lack the frenetic raw energy (‘power’ belongs to Iggy), of the MC5 of old.

Yeah I can definitely see that Hardtack. There is a need to hear those guitars a bit more buzzing and just, well, loud!

These guys probably been my most played artist of the last year, two brothers just playing some sweet western/Latin American instrumental tunes. Recorded live the other day.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
