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.

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?!"

“…The house of blood, up on the hill
The devil’s wrath, Satan’s will

Blood on the ceiling, blood all over the walls

Blood on the ceiling, blood all over the door…”

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 🤷🏽‍♂️

Prelim final day! Nothing can save us now, it's do or die

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!

 

 

 

Here come the Deeeees!

One for us long suffering fans.

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. 

 

 

The nerves are almost debilitating at this point. In the interest of my mental health ... 

 

Duck And Run: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=L64isbaYxnA

I found another appropriate song.

This is a recent song by AC/DC called "Demon Fire".

Great stuff! 😁

GO DEMONS!!!!

Couple of sneaky Friday afternoon work frothys in and Emerson, Lake and Palmer are starting the pre-match mix (headphones in of course)

 

Can some legend please re-read the entire thread and make a Spotify Playlist 

 

the only thing that's worked for me is going for a 2 hr surf this arvo.. the sound of waves and no one else cleared my head well. now i'm about to crack a beer and have some fish n chips. might pop on a bit of the fall on the way to the chip shop. go dees!

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
