the greatest recovery performance for sure; their shows in the 90s when they toured were incredible

right now: dawn richard and stephen zahn collab album, and earlier today new releases from taylor swift, arctic monkeys

last weekend: bluebottle kiss at the gaso

this weekend: tame impala at rocket arena

 

That JSBX performance is legendary.

I was never that into Taylor Swift but I’m a massive National fan so I really liked Folklore, and she won me over.

Artic Monkeys are a fascinating band now I reckon. So much diverse influence in what they are doing. It’s quite admirable how creative it’s all got.

I’d be excited to see Tame Impala. I read Kevin had to make a public statement warning people about the shows, as the lighting is so intense some people had seizures. That’s always a good sign. I think they’ll be amazing.

 You may be the only one who does, Cassie.

Even the mods don’t like it. I asked one of them why this god-awful song is the intro to the DL Podcast and he said because there’s nothing else apt.

I said even this would be better…

FUN FACT: Goody’s all-time favourite song - not just his current fave, nor one of several faves, but his ALL-TIME favourite song is “My Happiness” by Powderfinger

 I know this because I asked him myself.

You're welcome. 😁

Such a unique instrument, have you seen this movie/doco on it's creator?

220px-Theremin-_An_Electronic_Odyssey_Fi

This is one of my favourite music documentaries. Leon Theremin’s story is almost unbelievable. Immigrates from Russia to New York, not only invents the Theremin instrument and a host of other instruments/contraptions, but essentially creates the concept of “motion sensors” entirely (the next time a door automatically opens for you, thank Leon). Then, as his inventions begin to get noticed, he’s abducted by the KGB in the subway, and sent to work in a Siberian work-camp where he’s forced to create devices for them (including “the bug”). His story doesn’t end there, but I don’t want to give anything away. 
 

His protege (and the woman he was “courting”) in NYC was another emigré from Lithuania called Clara Rockmore. She studied Leon’s instrument with the utmost dedication, and is to this day remains the finest of all theremin players.

If anybody else is also reclined on the couch, enjoying the grey skies and looking for something both meditative and epic to listen to, I can highly recommend this album by Floating Points (Sam Shepherd), the London Symphony Orchestra and the recently-departed jazz giant, Pharoah Saunders.

What's your all time fave WCW?

I love a broad range of music styles but Voodoo Child (Slight Return) by Hendrix is my all time #1.

That’s a fine choice, Dr. Gonzo. If pressed to choose a favourite Hendrix track, I’d have to say “1983…A Merman I Should Turn To Be”. Runners up are “Machine Gun” (Band Of Gypsys) and the live version (Winterland,1968) of “Hear My Train A Comin” from the incredible album “The Jimi Hendrix Concerts”.

My all-time fave song is called Karibien by a band called Air France, a Swedish indie duo whose music was in the genre of “post-rave bliss” or “beach foam” as are many of the bands I love. They formed in 2005 but broke up in 2012 breaking my heart in the process and leaving the stingiest back-catalogue ever (two EPs and three singles). They never toured and there’s no chance they’ll ever re-form. But what little they did leave for us fans is incredible.

The last week I've been listening to some hip hop/rap

Necro and Ill Bill, Kendrick Lamar, Run the Jewels

As well as some old school Tool, Rage Against The Machine, Electric Wizard, Sabbath, Doors and Led Zep

Found some stuff we both like, Dr. G! The bolded bands I’ve seen live (I saw Tool live twice in the space of eight months since they toured Aus frequently like all bands should, but don’t)


Well I have been a HUGE DEEP PURPLE fan since I heard "In Rock" in 1969. Latest Album released in 2020 was "WHOOSH" Great album!! Also into Uriah Heep, ZZ Top, Jethro Tull ( When Ian Anderson still had a voice) et all plus Ozzie Hard rock including Ariel, etc Lately though I have been Buying up big with English Space Rock, Progressive outfit HAWKWIND!! Wow what a bloody good band, Check out Hall of the Mountain Grill, Warrior on the edge of Time, Levitation and The Xenon Codex. WOW 

Plenty of stuff to go on with!🤩

Absolute Classic. Robert Calvert was part of Hawkwind in the early days

I love Hawkwind! In Search of Space is a great album, very much like a "rockier" early Pink Floyd (thinking Saucerful of Secrets/Meddle).

I saw Tool twice in 24 hours. Life peaked. 
I’ve also sean Rage and Sabbath from the above lot. Would love to see Run the Jewels. 
 

which band have you seen the most?

I’ve seen my favourite band, Sigur Rós, six times. Three regular shows in three consecutive years, twice at festivals and then the world premiere of their music documentary, “Heima” followed by a Q&A.

I had a ticket to see them in August this year but chose to go to our Round 22 match (vs Carlton) instead. I bought the concert tickets not knowing there’d be a clash (thanks floating fixture!) but don’t regret blowing off the concert since remember how that match ended???😁

I've seen Tool at least half a dozen times (I've actually lost count) although unfortunately I missed out on tickets for the Aenima tour ☹️

Rage are one of the few bands left I still haven't seen live - was 5th in line for tickets when they came out around 2007 and played Festival Hall I think and tickets sold out after the 2nd person. I can't remember if they played Big Day Out but I didn't go.

Would also love to see Metallica and Guns n Roses live but I am extremely hesitant to pay hundreds of dollars for a gig at a footy oval. I just can't imagine it would be any good. I had level 2 tickets at Docklands to see Metallica in 2019 I think but Hetfield went into rehab so the tour was cancelled

I saw Sabbath when they came out in 2013 and had a blast, it sucked when they played songs from the new album they were promoting but when the sirens started blaring for War Pigs at the start of the gig my god!

A couple of other great gigs I've been to are Cypress Hill at Metro and also at Festival Hall, Electric Wizard at the Green Room (Supercoven & Return Trip were immense), Tomahawk/Fantomas/Melvins at The Palace, Melvin's playing Houdini live at Ding Dong Lounge and Nine Inch Nails at the BDO.

Would love to see Run The Jewels as well if they toured with Rage would be awesome but not sure that's gonna happen any time soon.

I saw Rage against the Machine in 1992 in Melbourne 

At the time I hadn’t heard any of their music. I bought The Killing Album, the following day

Great Memories. The energy in the Crowd was similar to a Full Midnight Oil Gig

You imagined right, Dr. G. I’ve been to quite a few concerts at the ‘G and the sound was substandard each and every time. These were massive shows so I guess it made sense to stage them there but it’s not ideal.

Same! I had tickets to Sigur Ros that night and didn’t go because of the footy. They weren’t cheap either.

‘Staralfur’ in The Life Aquatic is my favourite use of a song in a film.

I thought I was to only one who had to make this heartbreaking choice! I agonised over the decision right up until the day before. In the end I gave my ticket to my 17yo son and he came home a different person. In fact, we both landed home at about the same time, and it was as though we’d both had five large coffees and/or a huge hit of speed. Both shoving our phones into each other’s face with Untitled 8 and the last 40 seconds of Round 22 flying around the room.😁

And I totally agree… The Life Aquatic and Starálfur = a marriage made in heaven.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
