I'm surprised I haven't seen the official banner updated with Frank "Grimey" Grimes. What's the holdup? Is it copyright that's holding up proceedings? Or a server issue?

Here's the theme from Marseille Contract/The Destructors by Roy Budd. A very cool funk/jazz/groove instrumental that reminds me of a Massive Attack song (Unfinished Symphony?) The guy was ahead of his time. Jack Jack's Jazz 1.6

That is the worst. Pisses me off no end. And it's a simple fix too.

Was I reading somewhere that they where hitting our shores for a new tour? Would be worth seeing. On principle I dislike a lot of RnB/Rap. It seems to be all egos and disrepectin'. Lupe Fiasco is one of the exceptions in this genre. Seems to have a real social conscience. But there is no denying Kanye West's ability to produce a great tune. I really like some of his earlier stuff. Jack Jack 2.5 I've been following a bit of NBA of late. NBA and this tune seem to go hand in hand.

Challenge accepted. Behold my poor photoshopping.

Bloody hell. How long was he on our rookie list for?

It would be nice to have an updated Demonland banner that included Grimes. Having the captains as bookends of the playing group would work well. Either by tacking Grimes on to the end or replacing Moloney (no disrespect to Brent). I'd have a go at doing it myself however Wild Turkey is currently impairing my ability to photoshop.

I'm of the belief that getting Craig was a real coup for our club. Be interesting to know if he has a match day role.

I thought that was meant to be one of Craig's roles? Oversees and mentors Neeld?

I'm not sure if any of these have made it to TV, but they're great none the less. These are a few documentaries on GMO's and, more specifically, Monsanto. Very, very interesting viewing.

Cheers. That's the info I was interested to hear.

Exactly. Wasn't expecting an announcement. Just some news on the progression.

Thanks for the updates WJ. Disappointing that there's no news on the new sponsor.

Nice work Franky & Macca keeping the thread going. I scored a few Jazz magazines whilst in the states. When I catch up on a few uni assignments I'm hoping to pick up some new stuff from the articles/reviews. In the mean time here's a bit of Benny Goodman. Jack Jack's Jazz 1.5

I seem to be in the habit of discovering artists too late. Got on to Little Birdy last year (or was it the year before?) just after they announced an indefinite hiatus. Katy Steele has such an incredible voice. Amazing song. I regularly find myself cuing up their albums with some Josh Pyke and a few other folky bands. Jack Jack 2.4

I'm on board!

I thought that might be the case. Still seems strange considering some teams have to travel/ play at some country ovals whilst others play at the major stadiums. Cheers for the info.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere. But I've had a look at the NAB Cup fixture and it seemed strange that the round 2 and 3 matches are predetermined. Have I missed some rule changes? Or is this just the AFL being open about match fixing?

Beamer is interviewed at around 6:10. He mentions that he wants to get leaner in order to cover more ground. So I don't think he would have been too surprised that he had to lose some bulk.

I'm over in Anaheim LA for the NAMM music show. I saw these guys the other day. Thought they were pretty good (They sound heaps better live). Jack Jack 2.3

Have we had any Zeppelin yet? I was listening to my favourite album of theirs a few nights ago, Led Zeppelin III. I don't think there was an official music video released, not sure why, but it's a fricken unbelievable song. Jack Jack 2.2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkjv9SscotY

It can hardly be a Jazz thread without the great Sachmo. The guy had such an amazing and long career, playing up to 300 gigs a year! I heard Louis Armstrong fairly regularly growing up. Both my parents were fans until my ma found out during half time (I can call it that, it's a footy forum after all) Louis would head back and have a few left handed cigarettes. That ruined it for her. But as the great Bill Hicks said "See I think drugs have done some good things for us. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us then do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all of your records,tapes and all your CD's and burn them. Because, you know all those musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal f$#king high on drugs, man." Hard to disagree with that. Jack Jack's Jazz 1.4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vpuFYQwZ5o One of his big hits (I'd say second only to What A Wonderful World) was Hello Dolly. It's amazing what that song achieved. It knocked The Beatles off the top of the charts and made him the oldest person to achieve the number 1 spot (60ish from memory).

I was toying with either 9 or 31 after '09 draft. I eventually went with 9 mainly because Neitz was one of my favourite players. A decision I don't regret.

Whites on ABC is pretty good. It's a few years old now and unfortunately it only ran for one season. ABC also has Last Chance To See. I read the book by Douglas Adams many years ago which is absolutely brilliant. Worth watching & reading both.
