Hey Uncle B, we are trying to build her confidence, not shoot her down. She cannot help it if she is a shy wallflower type.

Yeah ya moron (not you NC, you’re a sweetheart. I’m addressing the uncouth one) quit picking on a shrinking violet!

Brett Morgen's David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream is currently on at iMax and it is sensational.  A work of art worthy of Bowie's genius:

 

Will always remember the moment I heard he’d died. I was inconsolable. I have a Bowie tattoo yet I’m not a huge fan. I got the tattoo because listening to his music as a moody, rebellious teen is what kept me from killing one or both of my parents in their sleep.

Years later I told my parents that they owe their lives to David Bowie and the reason why. Couple of days later my mum told me that my dad had taken to locking his bedroom door every night. Silly old bugger… I wasn’t gonna kill him in his sleep. I was an adult by then, I could afford to hire a hitman to take him out. 😁

Like I said, the shy retiring wallflower type.

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.

Mike Oldfield

My older brother took me to see Mike Oldfield and I was thinking geez dude plays every instrument on his albums, how’s he gonna do this live (I was a kid, I knew nothing). Of course he had a suite of musicians on stage with the man himself playing “… plus… TUBULAR BELLS!”

 I don’t remember much of the concert. Not just because I was young, but also coz I’m pretty sure I was stoned on the second-hand weed smoke. 😂

The bloke who introduced all the instruments on Tubular Bells was Viv Stanshall, better known from his work with the wigged out Bonzo Dog Band, AKA The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

This is their hilarious take on the concept of introducing band members one by one.  It may take more than one listen!

Viv Stanshall was a genius!! I was fortunate enough to see him a few times when he had a residency at a pub in London’s Fulham in 1975. 50p entry and he had musicians like Steve Winwood and the sax player from the Dark Side of the Moon album (can’t recall his name), playing with him. He would begin his show by opening a French horn case full of bottles of cider, that he would consume over the course of the evening at which point he’d be on the verge of collapse. Sadly, a few years later in 1995, he died in a fire aged just 51.  There is a movie in which he appears, that is based on one of his writings that had been serialised on radio, called Sir Henry At Rawlinson End… it’s a brilliant piece of absurdist humour. The Bonzos also appeared briefly in the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour movie, performing their song Death Cab For Cutie.

My favourite is 'They can't take that away from me', with good old 'blue eyes' Frank Sinatra. I think of this song whenever I look at our 2021 Premiership pennant and photo.

Older posters will remember when the hits of the day had a meaning, audible lyrics and above all else, melody. Sad to say todays songs don't have that. Just a lot of noise with crash, crash banging  with no tune.  Guess we have run out of tunes and themes. Classical music is exactly the same. Rave over! But they can't take that(the premiership) away from me or you, my fellow demon supporters. Bring on 2023,24,25,26,27......

There’s plenty of new music that’s not as you’ve described it, Bobby. You just have to look for it. 

And yeah, no one can ever take our Premiership away from us. ❤️💙

Guess I have heard too much of the [censored] they play at my local shopping centre. Quite often in the toilet too. Very appropriate.

I will look harder too WCW. Love your posts. Go demons!

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
