‘Ralf and Florian’ Kraftwerk added melodic sound after the earlier experimentalism. Ralf Hutter and Florian Schneider as a duet before the commercialism and haircuts kicked in. Believe it was never re-released on CD. Take it to heaven.

Neu! the eponymous debut album. Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger post an early Kraftwerk split. Still a great listen half a century after release. Quality earphones recommended or the inner sanctum of your listening room.

Finally ‘Faust so Far’ . When albums were more than just music. Each track has some accompanying individual artwork inside a black sleeve. I found it rather mysterious and it’s decidedly not for the mainstream listener.

    Thats the year Otis Redding died.

    I think he recorded Dock of the Bay just before he died.

    And Steve "the Colonel" Cropper, who wrote the song, died only a few weeks ago.

    Otis Redding and Steve Cropper share co-writer credits. Steve Cropper was producer. Released by Stax Records on the Volt label it became the first posthumous #1 hit single in the USA in January 1968. Otis Redding recorded it twice, the second time just three days before his death in an air crash December 10 1967.

    couldn't believe Otis was only 26 when he died. Looked and sounded much older.

    Probably my favourite vocalist ever. Visited his 'dock of the bay' in San Fran a few years ago.

    Just shows you can be sad and lonely anywhere as its a beautiful place

    Actually he's not that big, nor fast etc compared to some of the others.

    Speaking of amazing drumming, watch this.
    I was at this festival and it was amazing live, this drummer is elite!

    If you dont want to watch the lot, from the 5:50 min mark id recommend and watch the snare hitting and remember this is th last song in the set...

    What about an updated version of Grand Old Flag?:

    The more I listen to this the more I like it. I could really get behind this as our home game entrance song. Does the club know about this version?

    who is that? David Bridie from My Friend the Chocolate Cake did a superb version, but that sounds a bit polished to be him.

    I predominantly listen to recently released music - music by recent/new bands, or new music from bands that have been around for a while.

    One of my go to sources for new music, particularly from new artists, or artists I don't know, is the line-up at Golden Plains each year.

    It's announced in aprox mid November, and I do a deep dive on all acts for aprox 5 months (GP is in March, on the Labor day weekend).

    Those i really dig stay on my listening rota post GP.

    I've been to all but one Golden Plains and IMHO next year's line-up is one of, if not the best, ever.

    If interested in hearing some new music, the line-up includes some terrific newish international and local acts.

    This sequnced playlist has a track from each of the 28 acts playing at GP 2026*.

    Each track, bar 2 or 3, was released in the last year or so.

    (* as a card carrying pedant, I'll note that i couldn't find a track by two of the DJs playing, Ok Williams and Pacquito Gordon, so i selected a deep track for each from a set list from one of their gigs).

    Ah! I see what you mean. We can listen to that playlist that you posted for free. (But you have to pay if you wish to download from the site.)

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • 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.
