Triple J is a wasteland.

Triple J used to serve an important purpose, and served it well. I don’t remember what caused it’s descent into mediocrity but the irony is that for many years their slogan was “Enemy of Average.” Sadly, it seems they reconciled with Average and the two are now BFFs. 😥

I blame the '98 Hottest 100. How 'Pretty Fly for a White Guy' snuck through to number one was a bloody indictment.

That year was my final year of high school and a seminal moment in my life. That Hottest 100, in hindsight, was a depressing statement on the direction that JJJ would go for a while.

RIP Mr. Watts

Sadly, all I can think of when I see that clip is Garry Lyon doing that silly warning dance.

That would’ve been the start of the downward spiral. Rock bottom was reached years later when a Taylor Swift song topped the list. I used to love the Hottest 100 countdown every Australia Day. I jettisoned Triple J years ago and am grateful Triple R has stayed true.

Amyl and the Sniffers are great fun. They've put out some cool stuff lately.
Might be an anthem for those double jabbed in NSW shortly.

Anyone that says Rock and Roll is dead, just needs to look a little further. Triple J is a wasteland. Community Radio is still playing great new stuff.
 

Thanks for these, will check them out.

I agree Triple J is unbearable these days (the last couple of decades?) When I do play the radio it is Triple R or PBS although it can depend which show you land on. I'm not a huge fan of indie rock which seems be the predominant genre of rock these days though I'm sure there is still plenty of stuff out there I am yet to discover. No doubt in 10 years I'll hear an album that came out in the last couple of years and think "how have I not heard this before?!"

That's a strong spine, AA ruck and hasn't Sabbath just filled a hole on the wing nicely.

Hopefully we don't get drug tested this week though 🤷🏽‍♂️

Right now I’m blasting John Lydon through my ears buds while I vacuum. Not Johnny Rotten, as in, Sex Pistols. John Lydon as frontman of PiL (Public Image Ltd). I do loves me some post-punk. 

WCW, you should hunt down a compilation from the British label 110 Below - Journeys in Dub. On there is a seriously brooding and rumbling remix of 'Open Up', Lydon's outing with Leftfield. I think the remix is by Sabres of Paradise (Andy Weatherall and co), from shaky memory. An absolutely perfect track to get you pumped before a prelim. 

Unfortunately there's two versions of the album, with different Leftfield remixes (not the 'Open dub' mix). I can't find the one I'm referring to anywhere online except for a brief snippet here, without the slow-burn intro and mad breakdown: https://www.muziekweb.nl/en/Link/JK72793/110-below-Journey-in-dub

I'm guessing that you probably don't have a Dutch library card to listen to the full version? (I actually do happen to have one as it were, but borrowed a couple of books to take on holiday to Sri Lanka right before the world was plunged into chaos and international borders closed. I've probably racked up about €5,000 in overdue fees by now, lol).

Thank you so much Skuit! I’ll defs give it a listen (and probs a jolly good hiding) before tonight’s game! Surprisingly, I don’t have a Dutch library card (I know right, go figure). 
Hey, I’ve held back on mentioning S.R. on this thread. You know, the greatest band ever there was, since the dawning of mankind and quite a bit before that. I think they should remain our lil secret. 😉 

PS: I can’t believe you mentioned “Open Up.” I listened to that song just last night!

Nor me. 

A musical giant. So under appreciated

Another under appreciated giant of modern music died  last week - Lee Scratch Perry.

One of the most influential musicians of all time, in particular on electronic music and to a lesser extent hip hop. 

With Gift of Gab in between. A [censored] year in music. Two of the finest ever hip hop lyricists followed by the greatest dubman to ever grace the planet (I feel fortunate enough to have seen Scratch live one; he was wearing a saucepan on his head). 

So now that I've established a bit of music street-cred I can segue into what I really listen to on gameday .  . For a period during the mid-90s, SANFL matches at Footy Park led out with 'It's Raining Men', by the Weather Girls. 

I've never been able to disassociate that song from the excitement of seeing the team run out. And I really don't care about the homoerotic overtones, I still can't help but bust it out full-voiced in the build-up. Hallelujah!

I've thought about your earlier reference to the Chemical Brothers, and while I love their first two albums (and sporadic tracks since then), I think the most appropriate track would be 'Galvanise'. A mantra for the team and our defensive brick-wall. Don't hold back, the time has come, to galvanise. Some sample lyrics: Be cool, man, look smarter, don't hold back! And you shouldn't even care about those losers in the air. Don't hold back! If you think about it too much you might stumble, trip up, fall on your face. Don't hold back! Don't you think it's time you get up, crunch time like a sit up, the monkey pace. Don't hold back!

With such a rich back catalogue, it's impossible to pick my favourite tracks from the three aforementioned deceased artists, but here's a sample of each that I cherish. 

Lee Scratch in imperial form: 

Not my favourite Gift of Gab track, but hard to go past as a demonstration of his uniquely dextrous linguistic prowess:

 On a personal note, the last one is a Cambodian bootleg with Doom and RZA over the top. I lived there for a while.

Thanks for everyone for posting their taste on here... some of it I love, some of it I cannot connect to ... and thats the awesomeness of humans... anyway... for me...as I slip on my pre match anxiety suit - I was reflecting on my week of heavy heavy stuff... my work takes me to many places and many experiences,...made me think of humanity as a whole

So my frustration at humans led me to this...

So damn easy to cave in - man kills everything

and then my respite...

and being a saltwater person.

 

Go Dees

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success. Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress. Date of Birth: 26 March 2003 Height: 182cm Games MFC 2024: 16 Career Total: 20 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 3 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 1

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
