I was so looking forward to seeing Judith Hill in May this year...been wanting to see her for a long time now.

Email just received...tour cancelled.

    Just stumbled upon a couple of Dj’s from Europe, Don’t Blink tech house type of thing. I can’t dance, don't like dancing but they make me want to dance.

    Thanks @whatwhat say what really appreciate. Shows saved in my Trello board and starting to work through them.

    Thank god for community radio.

    Got to see Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings a week or so ago. They just work as one - sublime
    Dave has to be one of the best acoustic players on the planet - a 1935 Epiphone as his long time instrument.

    My friends the excellent Japanese band Buddhadatta, are playing a handful of gigs in Victoria in Feb and March…try to catch them if you can…

    Feb 19th Balnarring Social Club, Feb 20th Shotkickers, Feb 21st Medusa Bar Geelong, Feb 22nd Golden Vine Bendigo, Mar 5th Painted Lady Ballarat, Mar 6th Belgrave Hotel, Mar 7th Spring Ditch Beechworth.

    If Buddhist chants and hard rock is your thing, this trio might just be what you’re looking for 😉. Tell them I (Tim in Sydney) sent you.

    Unfortunately Buddhadatta got turned back by customs in Cairns as they had the wrong visas (they admitted it was due to their own carelessness). They are now back in Japan considering what to do next.

    Been watching Scrubs again and there is a song that came up, Good Time by a guy called Leyroy which I gotta say is a ripper tune! The whole album pretty enjoyable to listen to also, starts getting very "90s pop rock" but hey, still that song is a ripper and well produced too.

    That sucks. Hope they're not touring the US 😜

    Have seen Buddhadatta twice now and was planning to go to the Thornbury gig a few weeks ago. Hopefully they will be back later this year.

    They are friends of mine and will let me know what their future plans are… they are desperate to get back here asap, but I’m wondering if Australia has some lock out period before they are eligible to reapply to gain admission.

    It’s a real worry as I’d hate to be in no fit state (or worse) to meet them when they eventually do return. Seiko san told me that she did consider telling them that she needed to meet with me and my partner, because of my condition.

    I’m pretty sure they would give the US a very wide berth considering the state of that nation. Australia is their favourite country as we were the first to take to them with such enthusiasm. The other countries they tend to tour every with any sort of regularity are South Korea and Taiwan.

    I guess it depends on what their visa mistake was. Hopefully it is just a case of finding new dates to reschedule rather than something else. Considering they are from Japan it is not a high risk country from an immigration/visa perspective so hopefully it won't be a major issue.

    If anyone is interested, I have released a six-pack EP on Spotify and the other platforms earlier this week.

    Album called "Words One", Artist's name "Words of the World".

    Never done this before so would be very interested in what DL'ers think.

    Thought I’d rejuvenate this thread with a song that’s been covered by just about everyone, or so it seems, particularly on those god awful karaoke lite shows such as The Voice and Australian Idol, but never like this.

    If you close your eyes, turn the volume way up and just let it ‘flow over you’ (apologies for the new age f*ckery), it just might, like it did me, bring you to tears. For mine, it’s a winner!

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
